On homosexuality

A/N so this is a pretty controversial subject at the moment.... But I wanted to at least get my opinion out there. And while I'm not expecting you to not judge me in some way because of what I say below for whatever reason, I want you to at least read through my reasoning before you blow up my comments saying stuff about how I base all of my reasoning off of a God who hasn't been "scientifically proven" to exist or something like that. Yes. This is based off of my faith. And I believe with all my heart it's true. But isn't everything somehow tied to what you believe in?

While I personally am against the homosexual/bisexual lifestyle, I don't judge those people. That is their decision not mine or anyone else's. And I'm not just saying I'm against it because it makes me sick or something. I truly believe that it is sexual sin. And don't try saying that I'm against it because I don't understand. I understand. My brother, aunts(yes there are more than one), and quite a few of my friends are either homosexual or bisexual.

Again, while I don't approve of this lifestyle I don't judge them for it. It isn't my place to judge. Only God has that right. And I ain't gone go say that I'm God. 'cause that ain't true.

There's this passage in the bible where theses people are about to stone a woman because they found her committing adultery(for those of you who don't know what adultery is, it's cheating in a relationship) against her husband. When Jesus hears this he basically says, " let the person who has never done anything wrong in his/her life throw the first stone." then he starts drawing/writing in the sand. It's never mentioned what he was drawing or writing but I think he started writing down different sins that, perhaps, pertained to people in the crowd. After he said this a lot of people start walking away, starting with the oldest people. When there is no one left except Jesus and the woman, he basically says, "where did they go? Did no one condemn you?" he was the only person who could throw the first stone and all he did was say, "then neither do I condemn you. Go and leave your life of sin."

There's another passage where Jesus clearly states that the greatest commandment was to love your neighbor as yourself. Even when they sin against you, love them. While I'm not saying go around telling everybody that you love them, I believe you should treat them with respect because you don't know what they have gone through.

I believe that Jesus was showing his love for her even when she sinned against her husband and God(therefore Jesus). She committed sexual sin and even though she hurt her husband, God, Jesus....Jesus forgave her. He knew everything she had gone through good and bad. And he still loved her.

Can you still love them?
