I am pleased that we agree on the subject of homosexuality; however, you totally misunderstood my use of “offend” The word has many meanings such as to irritate, annoy or be angry, displeasure in, to violate a criminal or religious law, to cause one to fall into sinful ways. I used it to mean that I am annoyed, irritated at the preachers of permissiveness.

You and I share an understanding of perversion, as well as the harm that it causes. However, there is some good news, I would also like to directly address you with.

– Those who are in Christ, have no reason to be offended. We have been set free some sin, death, and all the effects thereof. The Good News of the Gospel is not limited to the fact that we comprehend sin, for that was made known to us through the Law of Moses. We have been given a much greater freedom. To those who confess and believe that Jesus is Lord, and come into relationship/fellowship with Him, we have been given authority over offense! Holy Spirit lives IN ME and I am no longer dictated by the persecution, judgement, perception, or ideals of others. Righteousness understands that these people (homosexuals, fornicators, liars, etc…) do not know any better. How can a man be expected to live in Godliness if he is not in Christ? For those who have been saved by His grace, through faith, there is a transformation that takes place. We are a NEW creation in Christ Jesus! You and I were once filthy and stained before God, but through His mercy all he saw was who we were destined to be. God looks at the homosexual not with hatred, but with a willingness for them to repent, come into salvation, and be restored to beautiful image God created us in back in the Garden. For God is not willing that any man should perish, but that all would come to be saved! Accepting Jesus, Knowing Him, and following Him is the plan God has for all mankind. We have no reason or excuse to be “offended” by anyone, regardless of there actions against us…. Peace. Love. Joy. Freedom. These are the fruit you and I are free to bear.

I pray that you understand how free you really are! God Bless! 🙂

I feel quite the same way. Those people offend me to the point of nausea.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” — Isaiah 5:20
