Two different Christians will take every word you just typed and act differently on it. One will say that it's our duty to love the homosexuals and to allow them to make their own choices, encouraging them with our own good example. Another would say we have to love them and make laws outlawing their bad behavior to help them.
that's the point!Quote:Neither one of those is inconsistent with what you said. It sounds all nice when you type it out in the vaguest way possible, but it's also completely in-actionable. It's a platitude.Uh, no.
What is the greatest command?
To love our lord God with all of our heart, mind, spirit and strength. (Not to follow a list a rules like the Jews had to)
In order to make this all encompassing love possible we must have the freedom to up hold what is important to our individual mind, heart, spirit, and strength combos demand.
Because we are all a little different with different strengths and weaknesses our all encompassing love will demand we up hold certain aspects differently than others.
In biblical Christianity the specific rule of law is less important than our giving of ourselves completely over to God is.
Again Christianity is not a religion of rules, it is freedom from rules directed towards individual[/quote] worship directed at God.
