But you don't. Here's why:<br /><br />"<i>For </i><b>ALL</b><i> have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.</i>"<br />(Romans 3:23 HCSB)<br /><br />"<i>Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to </i><b>ALL</b><i> men, because </i><b>ALL</b><i> sinned.</i>"<br />(Romans 5:12 HCSB)<br /><br />"<i>What then? Are we any better? Not at all! For we have previously charged that both Jews and Gentiles are </i><b>ALL</b><i> under sin,<br />as it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, together they have become useless; <b>there is no one who does good, there is not even one</b>.</i>"<br />(Romans 3:9–12 HCSB)<br /><br />I <i>deserve</i> hell just as much as anyone. Period. Every single human being walking this planet <i>deserves</i> hell. I am no more special than any homosexual on this front. Sin is sin and condemns us to hell and it doesn't really matter <i>what</i> the sin is. That's what the Bible teaches.<br /><br />That's the bad news. The good news is that God paid the appropriate penalty for our sins. (Like someone else paying your speeding ticket for you.) And he is perfectly willing to apply that payment to anyone who will accept it.<br /><br />You've probably heard about the verse in 1st Corinthians which includes homosexuality in the list of sins:<br /><br />"<i>Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived: no sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, or swindlers will inherit God’s kingdom.</i>"<br />(1 Corinthians 6:9–10 HCSB)<br /><br />First of all, notice that homosexuality isn't the only sin in this particular list. In fact, just this list probably hits everyone.<br /><br />But you probably haven't heard what follows this very often:<br /><br />"<i><b>Some of you WERE like this;</b> but you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.</i>"<br />(1 Corinthians 6:11 HCSB)<br /><br />THAT is the primary point. Not the sins, but that cleansing from those sins is available.<br /><br />Every single person on the planet is suffering from a fatal disease. It's 100% fatal. But there is a cure which is freely available to those who will accept it. The first step in finding the cure is simply realizing that a cure is needed.<br /><br />How is this somehow A) Abuse and B) Targeted only at homosexuals?Use the Name, Lukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-8252647237426552242009-12-06T18:24:15.625+13:002009-12-06T18:24:15.625+13:00and what is it in response to - oh yes the church ...and what is it in response to - oh yes the church has never said a negative thing about gays.
