“A person once asked me, in a provocative
manner, if I approved of homosexuality. I
replied with another question: ‘tell
me: when God looks at a gay person, does
he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this
person?’ We must always consider the
person.”
It was a simple question.
He did not answer because he longs for the approval of people and not
God. God makes it clear in his word this
kind of relationship is not ok. Leviticus 18:22, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Romans 1:26-28, Leviticus 20:13, 1 Timothy 1:10, Mark 10:6-9, etc… The Pope needs to say it! It is a sin like any other sin. It is a sin that Jesus will forgive. If we sin once,
we are on our way to hell. If we give
Jesus our heart and ask him to forgive us, He will. God loves the sinner, but hates the sin. Of course God endorsed the existence of this
person. He created him. He created all of them. He loves them and wants them in heaven with
him. God does not reject man, but man
rejects God. If they reject God, they
will be sent to a place that has nothing to do with God. Boy that makes me sad! So
many people are going to hell because they have the wrong idea of who our
loving father is. They just don’t know
him. They take someone else’s word on
him and trust that opinion to be true.
Like believing you need to do sacraments to be saved. God is a bad God because he allows evil. According to Frank Turek. He said if God was to get rid of all evil
right now he would start with you. Here
is a 1min 45 second video of him explaining it.

have been born. Find out who God is for
you!

“Francis floated the idea that the
church could support civil unions in an interview with an Italian newspaper on March 5, 2014. He reiterated the church's longstanding
teaching that "marriage is between a man and a woman," but said,
"We have to look at different cases and evaluate them in their
variety" -- the first time a pope has spoken on acceptance of civil
unions, according to Catholic News Service.”

“Pope Francis says the issue of gay marriage should be studied and not dismissed
out-of-hand, a senior Roman Catholic cardinal has revealed.”
It does say in
this article that he has not come out and approved gay marriage, but in
multiple news articles he has been quoted as saying civil unions are something
the Church should consider or be studied.
Could you imagine Jesus saying that?
God made it clear that this was not ok.
I am not saying you should go around telling people they are going to
hell because we are all on our way if we don’t have Jesus. We do need to speak up and tell people about
Jesus and not let them think this kind of life style is approved by God. God has a wonderful plan for everyone. He made sex for a man and a woman so that in
a marriage relationship they could be one.
Anything outside this hurts the individual. Some individuals may not see or understand
God’s plan in this area yet. It is for
the husband and the wife to have a strong bond.
God knows the person’s heart and they may be acting out in certain ways
to cope with pain. Maybe they were
sexually abused as a child. I am not
sure what leads a person into this type of lifestyle. We are all born with a sin nature, but we
need to pray for strength so we don’t act in the way that is unpleasing. Just because a husband or wife has an urge to
commit adultery does not mean it is ok.
It not only hurts the person who commits the act through guilt and the
break-up of a family, but it hurts their partner and their children who have
been torn apart. God tells us these
things for our benefit because he loves us.
He is not trying to make our lives miserable. He wants to heal your broken heart and fill
up all those empty spots in there with his love. It is the love of God that our hearts yearn
for, but people look for it in different ways.
Some turn to Alcohol, drugs, physical attention, money, etc… It is all a reaction to not having the only
thing that can fill our hearts and that is Jesus. Ask him to come in and fill your heart with
his love. When you give your life to
Jesus, you become a new creation. Your
desires will slowly change. Don’t keep
those holes and empty spots in your heart.
Give him a try!
This is what
Jesus said to a woman who was caught in the act of adultery. Everyone wanted to stone her. Jesus
loved her and wanted to forgive her, but he also did not want her to continue
in sin.
John 8:11. She
said, “No man, Lord.” And Jesus said
unto her, “Neither do I condemn thee: go,
and sin no more.”
God takes you as you are, but he
does not leave you that way.
2
Corinthians 5:17. Therefore, if any man be in Chris t,
he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all
things are become new.

Pope Francis
taught Grassi in literature and psychology classes at Inmaculada Concepcion, a
Catholic high school in Sante Fe, Argentina, from 1964-1965.
Grassi said the
Pope has long known that he is gay, but
has never condemned his sexuality or his same-sex relationship. In the video, Francis says he recalls meeting
Grassi's boyfriend in Rome
"He has
never been judgmental," Grassi said. "He has never said anything
negative."
"The Pope did not enter into the details of the situation
of Mrs. Davis, ( KY county
clerk) and his meeting with her should not be considered
a form of support of her position in all of its particular and complex
aspects," Lombardi (director
of the Holy See press office)
said in a statement issued Friday morning.
I was not in the room with
Mrs. Davis and the Pope, but my guess is he rebuked the way she handled things
since he could not say he supported her position. I don’t know why he did not come out and
support her. She did not want to be
involved in something the Bible says is wrong.
The only sexual relationship one should have is in a marriage between a
man and woman. Anything outside of that
is sin. Unfortunately, the last couple
of decades people have fallen away from God and have not honored marriage. I feel this is partly why society is slowly
falling apart. I was not around then,
but it was probably the make love not war 60’s that started the downfall of
families. Sex outside of marriage leads
to divorce, out of wedlock kids, step family situations. Many children have paid the high price for
these immoral acts by their parents.
They may have felt unloved and unwanted or turned to alcohol and drugs
to fill the void in their heart. Their
parents were far from God so the kids never learned that they could lean on or
turn to God when their heart hurt. They
are living their life on their own, without any help from the Lord. God is calling them, but their hearts have
been hardened with drugs and the love of sin they learned from the world. We now have a leader of a large Church not telling people to turn from their
sins and turn to God. He does not
believe in evangelism or repentance.
Hebrews 13:4. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed
be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
2 Timothy 4:3-5. For
the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching,
but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit
their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander
off into myths. As for you, always be
sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your
ministry.
