Hello everyone I am in need of seasoned advice. Today in Youth Group in which I help lead we went over the topic of Homosexuality and what the Bible had to say about it as well as what the official doctrine of the Universal church had to say. Needless to say I don't feel that the other Youth Leaders and myself did a very good job of explaining homosexuality and why is it considered wrong. Some like myself were afraid of offending others and the others kinda had this mentality that well it's 2020 and it's ok in the west to be in a homosexual relationship. I tried the best I could to explain how God is loving but that homosexuality was a demonic manifestation and lie. At the end of it they still believed that love was love. Do any of you have any experience witnessing to homosexuals or how do we stand firm on the truth but present it in love?
Love is love.
Some people love to steal, others love to lie, most just love to self gratify; but, indeed, love is love.
I love the Lord, someone else may love perversion, but love is love.
So snap out of it, friend, and be a man, and preach how loving God means hating evil; and to the blind you are trying to lead, you're gonna have to explain what evil means.
I'll help, evil is going against what God says.
If the blind you are leading don't see that, then you're gonna have to rub their eyes a little harder, by telling them, that love is love, and every who loves sin will die, but who ever hates sin will live.
Yes, my friend, you're also gonna have to try and show the blind you lead, that they must hate, because hate is hate, just like love is love.
They must learn to hate what God hates, and to love what God loves, otherwise, they are just lovers of themselves, lovers of pleasure, and haters of God, even if with their lying mouths they profess to love God, and sing songs to Him, God says they are liars, because their hearts are far from Him, so their worship of Him is a waste of time (Matthew 15:7-9).
If you're not teaching those young sodomites to fear God, then you will be held accountable for their contempt of God.
PS: Brother, what a sad thing, that you're in place that claims to be a Church, yet the youth think that sodomy is okay... Wow... I can't wait until He shows up, boy is there gonna be hell to pay.
