The Hot Topic


There is this social debate going on in America and I would like to put my two cents in, feel free to completely disagree.

So I got on Facebook this morning and I was accosted with this… Nice equals sign, and statuses about equality for marriage, and love and such.

I was disturbed. But before I get branded a hater, hear me out. So in case ANYONE had ANY doubt about what I believe, I am a Christian, I believe that Jesus died and rose again on the third day and that he is the son of the one true God, I believe that EVERY word in the Bible is the word of God, and I believe with all my heart that God loves each and every person, ever. Now that we have that cleared up, there are several frequently asked questions to Christians I feel I must answer.

Q.) Do you believe that Gay marriage is a ‘sin’?

A.) Yes I do. God says so quite plainly in the Bible and who am I to argue with the infallible word of the creator of the universe?

Q.)Do you hate Gay people because they are ‘sinful’?

A.) Oh goodness no! Do I condone their life choices? Nope. Do I want to burn them at the stake? Heavens no! I have grown up in a world of theater, where people are people and if you can work with them you don’t complain about them. I have worked with several Gay people in my short life time and I have, enjoyed working with and cared about every one of them even though we disagree.

Q.) How can you expect people to change who they are to fit your Bible? Gay people are born that way.

A.) Well let me the first to tell you, Lady Gaga lied to you. Gay people were NOT born that way. It is not a medical condition; it is a state of mind. Physically there is nothing different about the people “Born that way” their anatomy is the same as everyone else. So what is the difference? Being Gay is an emotional coping method. It is either starvation for attention, or the desire for something exotic and new, or the need to be different. But more often than not, Gay men had a bad relationship with their fathers, or the predominate man in their life, and because of that, they never got their desire of approval by another man met as a child. That carried over to adult hood and is now creating relationships where two men crave the approval of the other and never find the total emotional satisfaction they are looking for. As for women, it can be an inability to connect with men due to a traumatic experience or lack of male influences in their lives, or rather that need for the approval of other women. My point is, it is a choice one that you must make consciously, so please no more Lady Gaga songs. She wears meat and she lies to a young generation about life… and wears meat. Should we really trust her?   

Q.) Do you support the Gay marriage bill?

A.) Umm No. It is a sin and makes my heart break to see so many people trying to find affirmation of their self-worth in, a man or women. And this bill would encourage this sinful behavior.

Oh and before we go any further if ANYONE compares this to black rights then I will scream, That was a race of people being oppressed and put in slavery. This is a minority group, living their lives how they see fit and just want everyone to agree with them, because what have we learned is the root of most of this hoopla? A people starving for love, attention, and acceptance, without God that’s what life is reduced to, a cry and plea for attention and true love, and that you can only get from God.

 

P.S

I am still trying to get over the corruption of the word gay, it was such a good word meaning happy and joyful! Kind of ironic, huh? Because most people living in sin are anything but happy and joyful.

P.P.S

Thank you for letting me say what is on my mind. You in no way have to agree with me but do have an open mind. God Bless

  1. I agree with you. I am a Christian. And I don't condone gay marriage. And I am not a supporter of the gay marriage bill. But I do have a thought to share.

    I don't think the church should be fighting so hard against the gay marriage bill. First of all, it can portray us as fanatics that only want our own way and refuse to see others' opinions. Which gives Jesus a black eye. I think we should still vote against it, but not be so publicly warring against it.

    Also, we can't legalize morality. Just because its legal, doesn't mean you have to do it. Changing the law will change some people's actions ad behaviors. But whether legal or illegal, people still make that choice. I think we as the church should spend less time telling the world about how we hate that bill and more time investing in lives. Lead people to Jesus, even gay people, and Jesus will change their hearts and by changing the hearts, the behavior will change.

    I hope that made some form of sense. And know that I'm not starting up a fight, just voicing my opinion.

    Omnes gloriam Deo
