Dear Brother Liberal,
You guys don't get it. Homosexuals, like sinners (ie. humans) everywhere, try to impose upon GOD a code of behaviour based on our modern human experience, and then wonder why He doesn't appreciate them. The fact is that there IS a biblical standard, God's standard, and He won't change to suit us; we have to change to suit Him.
We are sinners but we are called to repent and seek forgiveness in Christ. The way our world 'works' though is that we want God (Christ) to seek ours, for being so 'harsh.' Sorry, but it doesn't work that way; it's arrogance in the highest and makes us suitable to be damned.
But rave on if you will. Say 'we can't help it' and find out if that appeal works. I guarentee you that it won't.
God's standard is perfection and that is why He hates sin and the sinner. None but Christ Jesus ever reached it. But, Praise God, we can be partakers in that perfection if we confess our sins and repent. In that moment our guilt, our sin, and God's hatred is removed; drowned out by the blood of His only Son, for greater is mercy than judgement. But that mercy came with a price; the life of God's only begotten Son, Jesus, thereby making it more precious and more holy than any excuse we can offer.
You don't want to be hated? Great. Neither do I. But outside of Christ I am as fit a candiate for divine wrath and hatred as anyone ever born. Inside of Christ, I am a beloved Son.
Unlike other sinners, homosexuals, heterosexuals, murderers, liars, theives, adulterers, and the whole lot, I abide in that love, because I confess my sins; I don't excuse them, nor parade them at 'Gay Pride' days to justify an lifestyle that God has deemed abominable.
Sincerely,
I.M. Ulysses.
