Alleluia!
God of Justice and Compassion,
you give us a work to do
and a baptism of suffering and resurrection.
From you comes power to give to others
the care we have ourselves received
so that we, and all who love your world,
may live in harmony and trust.

Good post...adn those doing these horrible things in this forum ... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE...should take an honest look in the mirror and take some serious stock in whether or not their behavior and posts reflect of the love of G-d for His creation.
I have to agree, it's sad that some people have to be denigrated by others.

The two who have made confessions to the police said that they were motivated by lust and because if they made other men positive they’d have the opportunity to have unprotected sex with them.

How annoying this all is. You can't stand for the truth and love at the same time? Love and truth, shouldn't these concepts be able to flow together? Why do we have to separate them? And when one does keep both, they're told they are liars as well as hateful. It's sad homosexuals are treated this way, it is. And I will not stand for it, but why must I be condemned for sins that are not my own? I have enough already to damn me to hell.. Don't place my father's or brother's sins on me as well.

I am the person who thinks loyalty to God's word requires that I heap insults and obloquy on others whose sins are no better or worse than my own, ignoring God's command not to do so and secure in the supposed "truth" that He loves me and not them, forgetting that the day will come when He says "Inasmuch as you did it unto one of the least of these, you did it unto Me."

Lord, have mercy.

I am the girl who admits to being a sinner.

I am the girl who was abused by heterosexual men, my entire life, sexually, physically and emotionally. {never again, I pray}

I am the girl who starved herself to 90 pounds because I never felt good enough.

I am the girl who got pregnant at fourteen.

I am the girl who committed adultery.

I am the girl who belongs to God through Christ.

I am the girl, that God is proud to call His.

Our walk isn't all about mutual wound licking. Oh, more judgmental statements. What is the price of sin? We should all hold each other accountable, and build each other up, but we don't see that.. :/

I am the woman with innocent blood on her hands

I am the woman who has condemned others whose sins were lesser

I am the woman who fails continually in her walk

I am the woman who often crawls for being too weak to stand

I am the woman who is often carried by the Savior, in His mercy and love and without His strength I couldn't breathe another day...

L-rd have mercy on me, your forgiven child...

That same love is evident for the body of Christ in 1 Cor. 5 also as a safety mechanism...Everything we do should be motvated by love that is what unbelievers respond to, but they still are told truth..
But what you tell people is "truth" is only what you believe is "truth."

The things that some people tell gay people, which they smugly insist is "truth" from God, is nothing but stereotypes and personal prejudices that they attribute to God.

We''ll if it's not in account with the whole council of God as breathed via the Holy Spirit then it can be questioned..

Forget it HK. Those not called do not understand and will always deny the workings of the Holy Spirit.

Peace.

I am the child who won't get a Christmas gift this year because Prison Fellowship Ministries decided a church was not anti-gay enough.

Lord, have mercy.
Baloney- this is all political. They can run their own program and buy gifts for kids without force promoting homosexuality through a charity drive. If kids are missing out on gifts it is because some are more focused on their own political agenda and not the kids.

Should a synogogue accept money from the Nazi Party to buy coats for children during the winter season and have the Star of David and the Swastika on the same promotion media ?

The end goal does not always justify scandal or inclusion.
