It kills me that the "gay thing" seems to be in a class by itself. I wonder sometimes if we (christians) stop giving it so much attention that some of the sting will be taken off the topic. Everyone is broken but if you find out someone is a homosexual you somehow approach them different than if you hear they gossip or cheat on their taxes. A conversation a pastor told me about he once had with a homosexual person in the church just kills me. The pastor told this person how much they were loved by God and how welcome they were to attend the hhurch but could not be put into leadership at the church. Now not to say that is wrong but to look at the other side the pastor better take everyone else out of leadership including themselves because everyone has something going on that falls short of God's glory and I bet most are fulling aware of their shortcomings. <BR/><BR/>If you are sitting there reading this and saying well I have a repentant heart about the sin in my life and try to turn from it, and that person the pastor was talking to probably didn't then I think you may need to look at yourself a bit more closely.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if we should waste too much time categorizing sin. Maybe we should all realize that we are all always just as guilty as the next bloke and spend a bit more time seeking after God's heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253529165034405240.post-21612375457385276792008-02-25T19:51:00.000-05:002008-02-25T19:51:00.000-05:00Hey Vince,<BR/><BR/>Praying for your safe flight home.<BR/><BR/>I am really interested in reading this series. My sister-in-law lives in Oregon and is gay. She and her partner were married last year. They are fun to be with and very knowledgeble and engaging. She knows I am a Christian because of conversations she has with her brother, my husband. I have never brought up the subject of sin with her yet; however, everytime we are together she "bates" me and tries to get me in an argument with her regarding Christianity and gays. I have known her for 3 years and really like her and have been trying to develope a friendship with her to no avail. <BR/><BR/>I hope to have you show us how to show truth in love to those we know that are gay.<BR/><BR/>Chris SjolundChrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15450795475532379863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253529165034405240.post-85235889565355279352008-02-25T14:39:00.000-05:002008-02-25T14:39:00.000-05:00vince (from israel, flying home tomorrow!) and nope, not my stance, it is indeed a play on the punch line from a Seinfeld episode.Vince Antonucci:http://www.blogger.com/profile/01577695138497215119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253529165034405240.post-47897319325417242352008-02-25T13:38:00.000-05:002008-02-25T13:38:00.000-05:00oh cause I was wondering if it was Vince's stance un the topicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253529165034405240.post-14947250259050797222008-02-25T07:46:00.000-05:002008-02-25T07:46:00.000-05:00It's a play on the punch line from a very popular Seinfeld episode..................Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253529165034405240.post-78022342974566284572008-02-25T05:59:00.000-05:002008-02-25T05:59:00.000-05:00I'm kinda thrown by the title of this series but then again I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253529165034405240.post-15479494105959546072008-02-25T00:41:00.000-05:002008-02-25T00:41:00.000-05:00This is perhaps your best post ever.MilePost13http://www.blogger.com/profile/15834715315798433983noreply@blogger.com
