Morning dear readers. The series continues today
so our question for today is:
There are so many opinions and really touching articles on the
gay issue all over the world. Many prominent men and women that are looked up
to has not condemned them. So, what should be my attitude towards them, I’m
really confused.
I rephrased this question because where I saw it, it was
really long with examples of the touching articles. I even know of one speech
concerning the issue made by a prominent writer I hold in very high esteem. I was
very disappointed after reading that article and the esteem I held fell though
not in her area of writing.
As a Christian, I’ll always refer to the bible because I believe
it’s a guide for everything we do. I’ve read some of these articles too and
they are quite touching indeed, some will say if they could decide not to be
gay, they would. So I’ll say that our attitude towards them should be love. We are
to love them and not condemn them. Jesus Christ accepted Zacchaeus offer to
come into his home even though he was regarded a sinner (Luke 19:1-10). The greatest
commandment no 2 is love your neighbor as ourselves. We should stop seeing
people as condemned sinners but potential Christians. If we can show love to
this people, it’ll be easier to change them. Very many who are against the idea
of being gay not only condemn the act but also condemn the person and want to
have nothing to do with them. This attitude can never get them to listen to
what you have to say. So, we love them, treat them like they are the humans
they are though their actions are not natural.
Then tell them the truth. Condemn the act but don’t condemn
them. Get to know the person, when the person started thinking he/she is gay
and what he/she did about it. Witness to them about Christ and accepting Him,
then tell them about the greatest commandment no 1(mark 12: 28-31) which is to
love the lord your God with all your heart and you show love to God by keeping
his commandments in his world and having sexual relations with the same gender
is against His word. The truth is that God created Adam and Eve and said to
them, go ye into the world and multiply both in finances, wealth, childbirth
and many others. If god intended for such relations to exist, He would have
made provisions for it. The bible is against sex with the person of same gender
and considers it incest so the idea of being gay or accepting to be gay can
only come from the devil. It cannot be from God. God cannot create a human
being Gay so any christain that thinks he/she is gay should pray for
deliverance because it’s not ordinary. Sometimes when a person keeps saying, if
I could, I would not be gay, then maybe theirs is an issue of being possessed. Being
gay is not ordinary, it has a spirit behind it, as apart from being against God’s
commandment, it’s unnatural. I once read the deliverance story of a lady who also
felt she was gay and could do nothing about.
So our attitude toward them? love them but not accept
what they do, tell them in love backed up with scriptures and prayers but not
judge them. A lot of hatred and judgement is coming from the world already.
