the hammer of homosexuality

[Drich]

So I'm curious.  How exactly would the Christian "confront" the homosexual in a loving way that is not full of hate and bigotry?

One, 'confrontation' need only happen if solicited. If a gay person was looking for a Relationship with God. Then a step through scripture that shows the only sex allowed under God's law is through the covenant of a sanctified marriage.

Then we establish scripturally that a sanctified marriage can only happen between a man and woman. Then we identify that all other sexual experiences (even those imagined) fall under the same category of Sexual sin. Next we establish those who embrace, and love their sexual sin, can not have eternal life with God, but only those who repent of their sexual sin. Finally we explain that gay people are not being singled out specifically, nor is being gay the unforgivable sin as some religious zelots might think. it is on the same level as all other sexual sin which is a pretty big deal in of it self and needs to be repented of.

I'm trying to picture this scene and if it actually happens in real life.  Honestly has anyone seen such a "confrontation" that did't end in some sort of damage?

The only 'damage' that might occour is from someone who's personality identity is manifest only through their sexual preference. But that is true with anyone who's complete identity is completely wrapped up in just one thing they do, and then it is taken away.

Like the parent who only lives for their kids and they leave home or the guy who works the same job for 60+ years and is forced to retire and dies two weeks later. (My city's mayor for example/America's longest sitting mayor) died the night after of dinner in his name. He was torn up beyond all reason that he at 90 something was not re-elected. Point being the man's whole reason for living was tied to his job/the one thing he saw himself to be, and when that was gone he was devastated, and shortly there after he was gone.

This for obvious reasons is not a good thing when ever it's done. We are all more than the one thing we want or like to do. To allow ourselves to be shackled by just one facet of our lives is foolishness. We are or can be so much more than our jobs, sexual orientations, or social standings. It is only when we tied our self worth to something like the number of friends or likes we have on a social media site, or sexual prefrence can "damage" even be possible. That is a greater sickness (Giving people control over your own ability to identify self worth) than those who maliciously seek to destroy a persons self worth. Why? Because attacking someone else to build one's own esteem is a primal guttural action that a 4 year old takes part in without thought or evil behind his intentions. While self identifying with one aspect of your life is tied to personal pride, and in essence 'the damage' is only damage to one's own pride, but because we cultivate vain behavior in this culture this damage can manifest itself physically. I would seriously question ANY culture that forces one to identify themselves solely on the bases of being apart of that culture.

Other examples of finding self worth by cultural identification on a large scale would be North Koreans, Nazis, Cubans, Cold war era USSR. All of these people were brain washed into fierce loyality for their country and unable to separate their cultural identity from who they themselves were. A insult to the cause or a critical view toward a social policy was a direct insult to the indivisual. Sound familiar? I know for a fact that if we went into North Korea and wiped out the standing dictatorship, those men women and children who did not fight to the death would kill themselves for allowing that to happen. That's more than just dying for a cause/what you believe in. That is not being able to live with yourself because what your whole life is about is now over and because you do not want to live any other way elect to die than change/face shame and critisim.
Again sound familiar?

from who

I haven't in fact i just read an article about parents that beat their children to get them to confess their sins.  In one such article the beating was fatal. a pastor beat his son for having a boyfriend.  Not feeling the love on that one Jesus.

I just read an article how parents never beat or disciplined their kid in any way (aside from taking stuff away from him and just trying to 'reason' with him) and he killed 1/2 a dozen people while driving in a drunken rage, and avoided prosecution because the parents did not discipline him properly.

Point? Aside from showing that either extreme can both have deadly consenquences, like you none other than offer a red herring.

This is the real problem of the Christain doctrine of "kill those who dont follow the way"

Book Chapter and verse please.
(of the Christian death doctrine)

I hear the Chistian say "do you see any hate i haven given in this forum?" but that's on a forum what happens on the street?

I can promise you that I live my life 'on the street' in absolute accordance to everything I talk about here. (Even when no one is looking)

When the high minded ideals hit reality what comes out of the Christian mouth is not love on this subject.  If this forum does nothing else i hope it changes that.

I don't know how familiar you are with forums, but the unregulated exchange of ideas in a place like this, it is FAR FAR easier to say whatever is on your mind/in your heart in complete anonymity than when one is under the watchful eye of friends and family.
