I think we've all seen messages in which people say that God hates gays. Does anything strike you as odd when you see such a statement? It should.
Some Christians point out scripture (from The Bible) that condemns homosexuality. Some of these people use such scriptures as a way to protest gay rights. Some of these people use those words to create hate speech.
Such people are quite short sighted. The Bible has far more scriptures about God's love and his calling all of us to repentance. God continually spared his rebellious children. Even at the cost of his son Jesus Christ.
God didn't bring Jesus into the world to condemn it but instead that through his son we might be saved. Jesus came to teach about love. About loving our neighbors as ourselves and as Jesus has loved us to the very laying down of his life.
There are many sins that people commit. But God chooses to forgive all who come to him with a humble and contrite heart.
God genuinely forgives genuine repentance.
I'm straight. I have and had friends that are gay. I'm 100% sure that God loves them.
God is love and in him there is no darkness.
I pointed out that some Christians use The Bible to back up their ideas about hate.
Like most people of faith spreading fear and hate in the name of God is just plain sick.
Let me also point out that in my heart Christians such as myself Refuse to Abuse the Good News.
Will you join me?
