This is why:
Jude
"17But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ predicted. 18They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires. 19These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you. They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them."
This topic like other few topics like it, divides people because of the world we live in. As the times go by
people will seek to compromise the truth because it is "politically incorrect", and the desires of the flesh will be deemed far more "correct" instead of sacrifice. The laodicean era.
Fence-riders, lukewarm, compromisers, cowards, world conformers. It is far more important to this crowd, to obey whats "politically correct "instead of obeying what is right with God. The fear of man is strongly more common instead of the fear of God. People are bowing down to agendas willing to change their own bible just to not "offend" anyone's delicate little feelings.
Especially in the western world, its all about pleasure,and narcissism against God and morality is glorified.
- "do whatever you want so tell others to mind their own business and go away"
- Moral relativism
- Bizarre over emphasis on"freedom"/pushing the limit
- YOLO mentality
World conformers take this and form their own doctrine with it.Christians who side with God as a result will fight back against this.
Most importantly, this issue is divisive because people do not understand what Christ actually came to do. Jesus never came to rationalize and encourage immorality.
Jesus never said that being a Christian would be easy.
He told us to pick up our own cross and follow him. SACRIFICE. For some people it may be literally almost "everything" in their "old life". For some, it may seem like a portion of their life.
The LGBT community isn't exempt from this. Unfortunately, world conforming, fence-riding, lukewarm, churches tell them what they want to hear and lead them astray.
