10/19 "I'm Gay, OK?"
Quote From: johnnyb119I'm so glad that Justin was on the show today to spread the good word that you can be Gay and Christian. You don't have to hate yourself anymore, or try to change yourself into something the Lord never intended you to be. There was a period of time not too long ago when slave owners quoted the bible and used it as justification for owning slaves. Thankfully people understood that you have to look at the context in which something is written. Not everything can be taken at face value. It is easy to. But easy and correct are not the same thing. Being gay is not a choice. Who in their right mind would ever choose such a lifestyle? It's not a sickness. It's not a product of childhood trauma. It is the way God intended you to be. He made you the way you are and he loves you dearly.
You can reconcile your faith and sexuality. Visit Gaychristian.net for more information. You can also be a lier and a christian, a shoplifter and a christian, a gluton and a christian, a murderer and a chrisitan. A sin is a sin is a sin in God's eye. Sure you can be gay and a christian, I personally don't disagree. The thing is, it's wrong. The Bible says man shall not lie with man, and the context also supports that, it's not jsut face value. As Christians, we are to be little Christs, strive to be anyway. No one is perfect. But if one asks forgiveness, that implies that they feel bad about the sin. What's the point of asking knowing full well that the behavior is not going to change. Is that really why God has been so gratious, so we can continue to sin knowing that he will forgive us? I think that's a bit abusive of the lovce God has given. On the other hand, truly trying to overcome the temptation and falling is another story. But claiming the lifestyle and Christianity is hipocrytical. Jesus was tempted in the desert for 40 days, with the help of God he did not falter. God offers the same strength to others for overcomming their temptations.
