Last night we had a talk over skype
she was talking about how it would be so great if she had a BFF that was gay.
I thought she was joking, but she wasn't.
I expressed to her how I felt about that. I told her I had gay friends too, but I refused to see them sinn their lives away. I love them and I cannot stand by and watch them do such a thing. So I cannot support their lifestyle choice. Therefore, its very difficult to do similar things as you would with normal friends. Now being gay is like any other sin....lieing, stealing, killing.... but with being Gay they express it openly with "pride".
She replied with "I don't judge people, and you shouldn't either"
I responded with scripture
Matthew 7:1
7 Judge not, that you be not judged.
and explained that it meant' hypocritical judgment
John 7:24
24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.
and followed with ....
Matthew 7:2-5
"For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
Then I asked her if she wanted to hear what God feels about Gay people ( i was gonna read off romans 1)
She replied with "I'm not in the mood, I don't like being told how i should treat people"
"I support them, I don't support what they do. They don't ask me to, i support them as people, people that God made"
My heart kind of dropped when she said that...as I lost respect for her as a Woman of God. I can see that she is a LOVING person...but in that aspect she appears to refuse the spiritual headship of God is the head of Man..and Man is the head of woman.
I told myself, I can't lead someone who doesn't want to follow....
Did I say something wrong??? I told the Truth from the bible, and I got that response from her. "I'm not in the mood, I don't like being told how i should treat people" ( Does that include God telling you?)
I'm rather confused with the situation, and she was "4 beers in" as she mentioned. But this isn't the first time she had a few beers..and she totally loses her sense of God's Word.
