On Love and Judgment of Homosexuals

Faithful Democrats - On Love and Judgment of Homosexuals


This is the best way to describe how a Christian should approach homosexuality

"I believe the Gospel tells us that we should treat homosexual brothers and sisters the same way we are to treat everyone: with love and without difference. And I believe as well that were Jesus walking the earth today, he would stand against the ostracism, demonizing, and general mistreatment of homosexual brothers and sisters just as he stood against the mistreatment of marginalized people in his own day. I am convinced that if we are to follow Jesus, that is also what we must do."

I also loved this statement "we must judge them by the same Gospel standard by which everyone else is to be judged: "Is this person loving and caring toward others? Does s/he hunger and thirst for the justice of God for all people, on earth as in heaven? And do his or her actions show that?"

Although I would add that were must first judge ourselves by this same standard otherwise we may miss the board in our own eye.

The Nobel Peace Prize 2006

The Nobel Peace Prize 2006

A direct quote,"What good were all my complex theories when people were dying of starvation on the sidewalks and porches across from my lecture hall?"

This is wonderful. A man who saw a need and moved forward to assist the oppressed. I feel honored to be a fellow human being with this man.

It is amazing the way Brian thinks. I couldn't have said it any better, as a matter of fact I think I said it much worse.

Saving Love what a beautiful way to remember Steve Irwin.

As a tribute to his everlasting impression, I vow to live with saving love.
