Exalting Vileness

[Blood Bought 1953]

 

Homos are free to do what they want.I don’t lose any sleep over them—- just do not try to tell me it ain’t a sin...it IS...

But it's homosexuality and abortion on demand that are being exalted. If you say anything uncomplimentary about homosexuality, they say you are a homophobe or Christo-Nazi.

And who does that labeling actually harm?  You?  Or the people doing the labeling.

They brand you as a homophobe because you do not accept their amoral position.    Who pays the price in the Hereafter?  Them, or you?

I find your choice of a handle offensive because you are not John the Baptist.

Or are we missing the point? Is it about EXALTING homosexuality and EXALTING abortion on demand and EXALTING coveting your neighbor's hedge shears?

You are missing the point.  Jesus plainly says that any sexual sin is worse than than stealing your neighbors hedge shears.  Because you willingly involve someone else in your sin. 

You can sleep with your neighbors wife.  That is a much worse sin than stealing that same neighbor's hedge shears because you have defiled yourself, and your neighbor's wife through your act of using her, sexually.  The theft of the hedge shears can debase no one but you.

The sins you are fixated on anger God extremely, but they are not the only ones He abhors.  He also abhors sins that people repeatedly fail to speak out about beyond abortion and homosexuality.

And if church leaders and political leaders exalt the abomination of homosexuality, what harm does it do for me to bring that to light? It might help clarify things for someone who is confused by this.

I don't think I am missing the point. I think it is good to expose evil.  People will be less likely to do evil things if we define what evil is for them.

I must have missed these particular passages of scriptures. Could you post them for our benefit?

We were never requested of the Lord to carry protest signs and rail against determined women at abortion clinics. Nor are we asked to gather massively to rant at Gay Pride parades.

The Lord's commandments are meant to help us find the way. Shouldn't we let people know what those commandments are, rather than keep them a secret?

You must have.  Try reading 1 Corinthians chapter 6.

Perhaps you can show me where I said we should keep these things a secret?  What I am saying is many people who rail against "sin" have a pet sin they constantly whinge about, but they ignore others.  Homosexuality is not the only sexual sin.

No, but homosexuality is the only sin I'm aware of that pastors are claiming isn't a sin, from their pulpits.
