I am disheartened and sad by the amount of posts I see regarding gay marriage and abortion.
Let me first say that I am a bible believing Christian. I believe that the bible is the word of God.
This world is full of sin. Sin is sin. Doesn't matter if you lie or kill someone, in God's eyes it's all the same. No sin is greater than the other..sin is sin and God hates sin. Man puts merit on sin...God does not. We are all the same in God's eyes. We are sinners.
I find it interesting that people say they believe in God, believe in God's word but then condone homosexuality and abortion. Even go so far as to promote those sins. If you believe in God and you believe in God's word, then you CANNOT believe that homosexuality and abortion are okay. If you do, I do not believe you are a Christian.
People argue that God made us and gave us free will and with that free will we can decide what to do with our bodies and it should be no one's business. But it is God's business and He says it's wrong.
I think people are mocking God and the beautiful creation of man and woman. God created man and woman and from Adam and Eve came sons and daughters. God had a specific reason for creating man and woman. He gave great thought to this creation and their HOLY union.
People have become desensitized to sin. It is everywhere and if you see enough of it, eventually it becomes ok. We see so much murder and rape on tv that people don't give a second thought to killing someone. We see so much sex on tv, in advertisements, in books and magazines that it doesn't seem wrong anymore. People are not shocked to see pictures of aborted babies because they have been told that "they aren't a person until they are born." We think it is ok that women have sex with women, men have sex with men because God gave us the free will to do it. Then we mock Him by saying it is ok for people of the same sex to marry. I just don't understand it.
I have heard people say, "As long as they are not hurting me, I don't care what they do." Or, "To each his own." All they are really doing is tolerating the sin....they have become desensitized to it. Eventually, we will become numb to murder...we already have been to abortion.
Am I judging? Most people who read this would say I am. My only defense is that I believe in the word of God. I believe the words he gave us as instruction for our lives. His word says it's wrong and because I believe in Him and in His words....He's says it's wrong so I say it's wrong and I speak out about it. If that's judgment, then I am guilty.
I am a sinner through and through. I sin every single day. Try as I might, I will never be free of my sinful nature. My sin makes it so God cannot look upon me because He hates sin so much. It's only because I have put my life and trust in His Son, Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made for my sin, that God can even look at me. But even though I am a sinner, I don't have to condone sin. I can promote God, the word of God, and Jesus Christ's teachings even though I am a sinner.
I hate the sin... I don't hate the sinner. As I have said, I am a sinner, you are a sinner, everyone is a sinner. Your sins are no worse than mine...I don't care if you have murdered, raped and killed. I don't care if you are homosexual or a sexual predator. Our sins are equal in the eyes of God. God hates sin. God hates MY sin....God hates your sin.
I guess the whole point of this blog is to say that I have no right to judge anyone. But I do have the right as a born again Christian to promote Jesus Christ and His teachings. I do have the right to say what you are doing is sin. I do have the right to say that homosexuality and abortion is wrong. Why? Because God says so. If you want to condemn me for that, so be it.
