A person who seems to have a what is in my opinion, a very warped view about Christian conservatives that stand against militant sinners that go through great lengths to pervert the Scriptures to try and justify their lifestyles of sin, even to the point of saying that their sinful lifestyle choices are holy and gifts from God.
(and that is the limited picture of what they do)
But this person posted this:
When I was in college, I befriended a girl who had gotten pregnant out of wedlock. Most of her Christian friends labeled her a harlot and wouldn't have anything to do with her, especially when she didn't stop having premarital sex. I chose a different path, which was tolerance. She knew full well what my views of premarital sex were, so I didn't feel the need to bring it up more than once unless she asked. Instead, I concentrated on being a friend to her.
When she got horribly sick from hyperemesis, mono and strep all at once, I sat by her bedside and then took her to the hospital. When she talked about suicide, I urged her to live. When abortion was considered, I provided guidance. Ultimately, she chose to have the baby and give it up for adoption. She went through some hard times after that but eventually figured out how screwed up her life really was and decided to make a positive change--to go back to her roots of faith.
Where would she have been without me? God alone knows. But it is my belief that I won her back to God through tolerance and not condemnation.
Is this special and above and beyond anything that any one who loves the Lord would do? Who here would have condemned this girl? Which one of you would not do this? I'm not going to toot my own horn, but surely God has my record and my treasure. Give me a break. It seems that there is a disconnect and the person does not separate a militant sinner fighting to change the Word to suit them with someone who has stumbled into certain sins, and believes that those who fight the good fight of faith against those who would call what God has said is evil, not only good but holy, would not help one of those if they were on the side of the road. Of course we would! Who here hasn't sinned? Now let me ask you, who here wants to keep their sins? See. That is the difference. But there is not one person I can think of in this group, who would not help the most vile sinner you can imagine if they needed a hand.
So get in your prayer closet, and start practicing what you are preaching. As I said the people who preach love and forgiveness in this forum as well as the Liberal forum, are the LAST to do it unto conservatives or anyone who disagrees with them, so tinkle your cymbals on another corner because I for one am not buying it and don't cause me start naming names and start giving examples. The Holy Spirit has confirmed to you in your spirit even as you read this who you are.
Edit to clarify: the above last paragraph is NOT to the author of the above story, just FYI.
