Now we know what it looks like when He does, but why does He do it? "he wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness." The wrath of God is already operating in our culture. And God has abandoned our society on a wide scale and let our society go the way it chooses to go without restraint. But God has abandoned our society because our society has first abandoned God. There is no surer and no sadder evidence of a corrupted, wicked abandoned society than when that society will not tolerate anger against sin. Our society won't tolerate anger against sin. Our society feeds on sin and wants no one to deny it its iniquities. And so, here we are under the wrath of God's abandonment. It isn't like it once was. Restraining grace has been pulled back and this society gets more immoral, more homosexual and more depraved every day. And why? The major reason is summed up in one statement. "We suppress the truth." http://www.gty.org/Resources/Sermons...=homosexuality
sandie seriously? Comparing providing succor to a woman having an abortion to assisting in a felonious armed robbery?
Your question is flawed, because Mr. Smith didn't say he would assist in the abortion, he said he would attend so he could hold her hand and offer comfort.
Further, I didn't say it was an "armed" robbery.
I asked him if he would attend a robbery to offer comfort.
As far as I know, the first time Jesus told someone that He was the Christ, was in John chapter 4. To whom did He make this statement? A woman who had been married 5 times and who was currently living with a man to whom she was not married.
He took the time to talk to her and before the conversation was over she was converted. She ran into town and because of her testimony many believed.
There are several things that can be seen here.
Just a couple of them are:
-Jesus did not tell her she had 5 current husbands but spoke of them in the past tense. This would agree with Deuteronomy 24:1-4 where it speaks of a divorced husband being a "former husband" or we would use the term "ex" for ex-husband.
-just because she was living with a person did not make them married
-Jesus did not tell her she was on her way to hell for being divorced or for living with someone
-Jesus did not tell her to leave her current partner before she could testify to others
-Jesus uses women to carry His message
That doesn't even pertain to my scenerio or question i asked.

One thing I hope we agree on is that God saves homosexuals like anyone else. We should show them the love of God. As a nurse I've worked with some, not one can say I've badgered them or mistreated them. I remember one time a coworker was making a snide remark about one at work that day, I told the man something like I don't condone it but still got to show him the love of Christ.
Going to weddings with gifts or speaking of their relationships in any positive light is not happening though.

Actually you said hold hand which implies assist. Also sure that you did not know a robbery by definition is an assault combined with a theft. And is a felony in every jurisdiction.
