JEREMY O'ROURKE said:Some in this thread seem to be missing the point about standing up for righteousness. Jesus said that he came to fulfill the law not completely do away with it. Many Christians seem to give grace as pretty much a license to sin and strattle the fence. In other words to live one way in the church and another way when we are not in the church house. Love is a commandment of God but not to the point where we dont seem to see God as a just God also who gave us a law to live by his word. We can not get so caught up in this so called love movement where we just leave all the homosexuals, prostitutes, those who are into incest etc alone and not point them to the truth. True love sometimes has to get in their face and at times offend people. We should always have a loving spirit no doubt but just dont sweep sin under the rug and not deal with it. There is some who think love means to just accept and go along with anything that comes along no matter how evil or corrupt it may be. The ten commandments statue is not God by any means and I do not worship it. It was given by God though and it still applies to us in this day and time. The only question that I have is how long is God (Jesus) going to keep blessing us? We have abortion on demand homosexuality and other forms of inappropriate contentography running wild. Even our churches are running rampant with these things. Praise God for Chuches that preach the truth still and will not be shaken in their faith. True love sometimes means being offensive.
I have never said that we should accept sinful lifestyles but I think that accosting people and yelling and slandering puts people out. If we show a loving concern for people then they will be more curious about the love that we have. Here in Salt Lake, there are street preachers that go down to the LDS temple and scream at the people there, including newly wed brides that they are going to hell and that they dont know the Bible. While what they are saying might just be true, do you think that those people want to run over and thank those men for screaming at them and tell them that finally, because of being insulted, they see the light? No, but they just might listen to someone that took the time to love them in the state they are in and truly want to see them saved because of that love.
Love is all you need
