Ok, bare with me for a bit..I hope those of you that know me, or have read my posts know where I stand on this issue, but I had to bring it up seeing as how I've seen so much of it lately on t.v.

Can you be gay and still be a follower of Christ?? The answer seems obvious to me, if you read your Bible. But recently I've watched a couple shows that feature people claiming to be both practicing homosexuals, and followers of Christ at the same time. At first, it made me furious for them to propose such a proposterous notion. Then, as I thought about it,it occured to me that this is a sin just like any other. Does God look more down on a homosexual than a murderer? A liar? A thief?

I know the bible calls it a detestable sin. But why is it that this isn't a sin that we try to help people come out of like we do the other sins? I know what you're thinking... you're saying that it's not like they are believers who stumble into sin; they are claiming to be believers, and yet actively participating in a sin that they don't see as a sin. But don't we actively participate in sin everyday?

But you know what else occured to me? The fact that a lot of these people might live their lifes more according to the Bible than the rest of us. And they claim to be believers! I hope you realize that I'm partially playing the devil's advocate here, but I think these are very relevant questions. More importantly, how do you minister to one of these people? Tell me what you think. God bless
