As we have all heard about the mass gay club shooting in Orlando, there's a question that I was wondering about. I believe, based on what I had read in the Bible, that even the most loving and monogamous same-sex relationships are evil in God's eyes. But there are definitely some Christians in this world that believe that homosexual behavior is appropriate within the confines of a committed, loving, lifelong, Christ-centered relationship. I know that being homosexual is not really the right path to choose. As I kept thinking about it, I wondered how do so called Christians like us approach them with love and happiness and redirect them to the right path? I find it really hard to just even bring up that subject to a homosexual because I'm afraid I would easily be labeled as someone who's against the whole concept of being gay. A lot of Christians think that it's perfectly ok to be homosexual and still be in the faith. The traditional viewpoint displays homosexuality as a sin while the reformed viewpoint shows that being homosexual is not a sin as long as you walk in God's way and is spiritual. My question is, do y'all think that the viewpoint of Christians on the topic of homosexuality has changed compared to the past or has it stayed the same? Also how do u approach them and talk to them about God without being accused?

The general viewpoint of Christians on the topic of homosexuality definitely has changed from what it was in the past. According to many, homosexuals can be a Child of God if thy love God and live in the faith.
ReplyDeleteBut if we were a true child of God, we would not do things that our Father in heaven has displeasure in.
And in answer to the second question on approaching such people, is love. We are all sinners and we have been shown great love by Jesus and many others. Homosexuals are sinners just as we were. The only way we can reach out to them is by love and not hate. And from there, slowly we show them who Jesus truly is and direct them to the right path with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Nanma on the fact that, who decided that homosexuality is worse than envy or jealousy or pride? Do we all not sin? And if so then why do most Christians hate or make fun of gay people if the goal is to show them Christ. How do we show them Christ? Love. Simple. Love them and unconditionally without judgement and I'm sure the Holy Spirit will do the rest. All we can do is pray and love. We can not look down on them because if we do then we are saying we are better. And are we? Not at all.
ReplyDeleteChristian views on it has changed for sure, I wonder if it's so not to offend anyone. We have to love while standing in holiness. Love does not mean we step away from what the bible says on such matters. Maybe some have misinterpreted what loving a homosexual means.
