I'm home sick today so I came and set down at the computer and thought I would browse around some of the articles here and at the "other one". For some reason, I seem to have stumbled across a few posts that lets say, don't like Christians very much or perhaps disdain Christians would probably be a better word.
I am a Christian so that bothered me. Everybody wants to be liked I guess. I'm a pretty friendly guy I think in day to day life. To hear some of ya'll tell it Christians, well even I wouldn't want anything to do with those people. I suppose there are some Christians that bring this kind of bigotry (yes its bigotry...be consistant now) on themselves. We are also sometimes seen in a bad light because of morons like the so called "Pastor" Fred Phelps that decrys "God Hates Fags"!!! These days we are seen by many as anti gay, anti women, anti "fun", anti gambling, drinking, sex,...heck almost anything you can think of we're supposed to be against it and we ARE against the sin but should NEVER be against the sinner. To hear some of you tell it we are devoid of intellect, bigoted prudes that you would love to make shut up and go away....yet... we are the intolerant ones. I feel more like I'm on the wrong side of the looking glass everyday.
I can sort of understand I guess. If you have no belief in God, or maybe I should say relationship with God, you really have no way of distiguishing between the chior director down at the local church who may be a lovely person and the aforementioned Fred Phelps.
Well, I'm no Jerry Falwell and don't presume to speak for all Christians. Speaking for myself and some of the people I know, we would just like to worship our Lord and help you, if you wanted to to find a relationship with him too. If that is not something you would be interested in, of course it bothers us and some of US could get PUSHY but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say most of the time its done out of a concern for the person, thier "eternal well being" if you will, not out of some kind of bigotry or hatered or whatever is put on it.
I don't know, I feel like I'm starting to ramble a little so I'll just say this. When you do encounter a "Christian", just remember we're not "all just alike". Some are good, some are bad, some are lazy, fat, happy, sad. Believe it or not it can be VERY difficult to be a Christian at times. We all still have bills to pay, jobs to work, kids to worry about etc. Not one single person on this planet is perfect and the last time I checked we were ALL sinners. Some ARE saved by grace, but sinners still. We have the hope of heaven someday, that "pie in the sky, bye and bye" thing. I don't know how ya'll do it without that hope. Well, I'm gonna get back up on my "crutch" and go on about my day. I'll be talking to ya.

Does'nt God specifically dictate in the bible that "A man who lies with another man as one would lie with a woman has done a detestable sin and should be put to death"?

If anybody calls me a fanatic, then I rejoice because I know I'm not wishy-washy, mealy mouthed, or lukewarm. If they come to get me to kill me sometimes in the future, I want them to have multidude reasons to do it, and I am not whistling Dixie here. If I go down, at least I'll go down proclaiming the Gospel, and you will have known I have taken a stand....as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Even fanatacists have more respect for other fanatacists who speak up for what they believe in. If you don't speak up, nobody will ever come against you, but then what gift will you have to lay at your Saviour's feet? The gospel offends, then it convicts, so if you are the one delivering that "gospel mail" you are going to offend. When people rise up against me, bigtime, then I know I'm on the right track, because if you never mention Jesus, nobody will step in to do battle against what you say. What we have, jewelry wise, is the Pearl of Great Price, the Living Water, the Food that satisfies eternally. It is natural, we wish to share, 'cause that's what Christians do! Blessings, Carol
