I still don’t understand how people persist in the idea that condemning sin is equal to expressing hate for another human being. Murder is a sin — and by my expressing this truth found in the Holy Bible doesn’t mean that I hate a person who commits murder. On the contrary, I would pray that the LORD Jesus Christ saves this individual. The same thing goes for those who commit adultery, bear false witness, steal, rape, etc. It’s all sin and I’d be quite foolish to pat a thief, murderer, rapist or liar on the back and tell them it’s OK.

It’s not OK and neither is homosexuality. It says so in the Holy Bible, and the LORD our GOD gives some fearful examples in the Scriptures to drive that point home.

Christ Jesus didn’t teach HIS people to hate, but to love — and to keep from living in sin. Jesus Christ of Nazareth pointed out people’s sins — and HE did this because HE loved them. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin because HE loves us. For the Holy Scriptures say without holiness no one shall see GOD. If our sins aren’t pointed out to us, we won’t know to repent and if we live in a state of perpetual sin, then we will have no place in GOD’s Kingdom.

So some folks in Texas are kicking up a storm over a local church pastor’s sign promoting his sermon on “Why Gay Is Not OK.” Take a look at some of these videos, news stories and listen to the pastor’s very thorough sermon for yourself. He goes deeper than the often quoted Holy Bible passages to challenge the popular views/myths on homosexuality. This needs to be preached in every church — but who wants to lose bench warmers.

Pro-Gay Protesters Rally Outside First Baptist Dallas church; Pastor Robert Jeffress Interviewed:

In contrary to what one gentleman in the video claims, pointing out sin is not “casting stones” — that’s simply telling someone whom you love that they are doing something wrong/ harmful. Judging sin is “casting stones” — and there is only ONE who judges for HE is without sin.

Again, homosexuality is not OK and it never will be in GOD’s eyes — HE calls it an abomination and perversion. And as GOD the FATHER said in Genesis when HE created and saw that Eve was a comparable mate for Adam, GOD the SON repeats in Matthew 19:3-4Matthew 19:3-4
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? ⁴ And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Jesus Christ reminded those who were asking him about marriage and fidelity that GOD ALMIGHTY ordained that marriage is for a man and a woman; not for two men or two women. A man for a woman is what GOD ordained from the beginning, Jesus says in this passage.

And here is the mp3 of Pastor Jeffress’ sermon: First Baptist Dallas – Pastor Robert Jeffress – Why Gay Is Not OK

I commend Pastor Jeffress for his boldness and for his faithfulness in upholding GOD’s standard. We need more clergy like him — who are not afraid to upset, offend and anger some people. A true friend, one who truly loves you, will point out your errors.

For those interested, First Baptist Dallas has a YouTube channel and a podcast subscription.
