Jail/Homosexuality

[houston]

Lying is an abomination (Proverbs 12:22), fornication is not an abomination. Got it.

And according to Proverbs 6:19 I believe it is. If you sow discord thats the same as homosexuality. So dont talk about how one sin is worse than another.

Don't read the Bible then...

Some, of course, profess to be Christians as they do such but its not done by Christians. Some show hatred equivalent to many hate groups and they claim to be Christians and then it make all Christians appear to be such. Not everything that claim Christians is a true Christian but the whole of Christianity gets sort of tainted.

But there are some that selectively preach against certain sins and make excuses for others. And those hypocrites makes it look bad on Christians. You already understand this because you fight for the teaching of perfection even against those that claim Christian.

There should never be "hate" of persons. In striving against sin there should be a sense of "rescuing" the sinner. After all we really WANT souls to be saved! I cant think of any Christians I have associated with that wanted the lost to burn in Hell.

And yet burn in Hell they will. Not just gays by any means. We as Christians tho have the mission to actually try to convince and persuade the lost they are lost. Its not easy that's why most make little or no attempt to do it.

We all want to be liked by others.

But since the thread topic is will Apostolic Christians preach against homosexuality in the face of persecution my answer is most will not. Why? Because if they are not willing to preach the full gospel now in the good times they will not risk prison or death later.

As said earlier I DO think that some will wake to the reality of the warfare between Yeshua and satan in such times. They will be purged, purified and made ready to offer their lives in sacrifice Adonai Elohim.

It's not about reading the Bible, it's about not reading it with your goofy thought processes.

The intent of an action is important. There are differences in sins. Addicted to caffeine or heroin... Hooked on child porn or cigarettes. Big difference IMO.
If a man steals to feed his daughter, he's wrong for stealing. If he molests and abuses his daughter that's much worse in Gods eyes. IMO.

Actually gays have hijacked the issue of "bullying". I don't recall very much bullying of gay people at least no more than others. Yes there have been some gay people bullied because of their gayness. Yet many others are bullied for some other reasons.

I was terribly bullied as a young person. Why? I was smaller than the average guy. That made me a target to up and coming bullies. Many are bullied simply for that. No political or religious cause.

Bullies have always been evil. They push their way to the top. Its just odd to me that the term "bully" is now only heard in terms of the "gay" movement.

In your opinion being the key word. I dont see it like that. Do you have any scripture to back that up? Like I said, it seems like you are less offended at some sin and disgusted and less tolerable for other sin. I dont think GOD is like that.
