Why would you want to judge homosexuals?
"Judge not so that you may not be judged," as Jesus said in Matthew 7:1. Good verse, and hard to live up too because we all judge. I don't know how much various ones have been all judgmental of homosexuals on here, although that seems to be your thinking, right? If verses are quoted, most of us on here see that as an objective standard - the law if you will. To me, only Christ in me can really live up to these high standards! The bible talks about a lot of other sins too (I know you don't think gayness a sin), and we quote them as well. But we all have the flesh, which is capable of a wide litany of "off the mark" things. In the end, we all only have one standing before God: "Nothing but the blood of Jesus!"
So quoting verses is just that. Listen, here's an example if I may - I like to have an evening drink while watching the sun go down. That's not being a drunkard, but on occasion I may make the drink a little too strong, or even have two. Then I start to get into the arena of being legally intoxicated. I am aware of the bible's admonition to not be drunk. If someone comes on here and starts quoting verses about not being drunk, that's fair game. I don't accuses them of judging or hating me - it's just a fact that if you do certain things, it's off the mark according to the Word. Yes, we do need Jesus!
Do you see that kind of talk as judgemental or hating or insensitive/intolerant or . . . ?
