Right off the bat I would like to state that as a Christian, I believe that homosexuality is wrong. I feel that scripture makes it plain that God finds it to be an abomination and a perversion of the beautiful image of the relationship that He has with His bride the Church. That being said, God also views all other sexual sins (adultery, premarital sex incest, bestiality, rape, pedophilia, prostitution, pornography and masturbation, etc, etc, etc) as perversions. They are equally wrong in His eyes.
Now in the words of Samuel L. Jackson in Jurassic Park: "Hold on to your butts." I may get a lot of flak for saying what I am about to say, but I believe that as American citizens, under the law of the U.S. Constitution, people who practice a homosexual lifestyle should be allowed to be married to the person that they love. Let the chaos ensue!
Sexuality is a moral issue, and to make it a political one I believe would be a mistake. Let God handle the moral issues, because He will in the end; and let politicians sort out political concerns.
Lastly, a word to my fellow believers. I have been seeing a lot of hateful speech directed at homosexual people. STOP!!! They are no worse than you were before Christ saved you... God is not partial, all are equally sinners before God and equally damned. So stop hating people made in God's own image! Pray for them, love them, let God convict of sin. Show them the love of God because in Jesus' own words, by our love they will know us!
"You,
then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat
them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will
bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’” So then, each of us
will give an account of ourselves to God. Therefore let us stop passing
judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any
stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. I am
convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is
unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for
that person it is unclean. If your brother or sister is distressed
because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by
your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. Therefore do not let
what you know is good be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is
not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy
in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is
pleasing to God and receives human approval.- Romans 14:10-18"
I use the above symbol to both say that I do in a legal (Constitutional) aspect support the movement for homosexual marriage, but more importantly, to state emphatically that I believe that all are indeed equal! All are equally worthy of the judgement of a holy righteous God, and all equally able to receive His free gift. God is not partial to any man, woman, or child! Come to the cross today!!
