[QUOTE="Halbhh, post: 71892919, member: 375234"] Let me add it's sharply important to know that telling people of Christ is [I]not [/I]telling them about our own favorite sin to oppose. Christ is not "the guy who is against gay people" or "the guy who is against sinners". No. That's [I]not [/I]Who He is. It's telling them about the very Son of God, who saves [I]any [/I]sinner that comes to Him, even you and even me! Our own preaching against whatever sin we like to preach against = zero value for lost sinners. Telling them about Christ -- infinite value. ------------- Just to avoid confusing anyone, let me add it is not a sin to be 'gay' and be celibate. It's not even a sin to be 'gay' and 'in a relationship'. The specific sexual sins include things like sodomy, fornication, and adultery, but they do [I]not [/I]include simply love itself. We have to be careful not to allow the Enemy to trip us up on this one! The enemy has already gained greatly on this issue of what is sin because of people not even knowing accurately what the sins are to begin with, and having the wrong idea, and then also wrongly preaching it also.
