I like to wonder a lot, so my family says. Pastor Rick, thank you for your commentaries, they challenge, encourage and uplift me. Sorry to say this, but there are a lot of Christians running around with hardened hearts. What's the difference MOTIVE! Pastor Rick, I understand what you are saying, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to those who truly have a repenant heart as opposed to those who are in direct disobedience (hardened heart). However, those who deliberately choose this lifestyle, and know that it is wrong, are in direct defiance to the Word of God. Yes, we are ALL sinners in need of a Savior, but the difference is that those true believers try and walk the narrow road, and when convicted by the Holy Spirit, repent and hopefully grow in their walk. It is the enemy that wants to keep this issue front and center.

I am growing so weary hearing about "this" sin. Not only am I being bombarded with homosexuality in the world, but it is now in my face within the Body of Christ (LOL). Your point is well taken and I agree completely however, let's also be careful that we don't become too PC. I pray we don't all start sounding like Joel Osteen. Many christian these past 2,000 years have had to endure living among unbelievers, and murderers, perverts, demon-possessed, undesirables and didn't succumb to the world in fact, it probably strengthened them, and prepared them better to look ahead and forward to being with Jesus. But such fear is ludricous if they are really in Christ, they should have no fear. I think some christian men become so neurotic and paranoid that they might get affected by the 'spirit' of homosexuality, that they feel there's no other solution than to ban them and ban their lifestyle by government policy. It insults something deep inside them and I suspect the fear of homosexuals having equal rights might scare them into believing that it's contagious. They do not want to be a christian living among what they perceive as girly men. They are more concerned about appearances and their personal machoism. I believe some christians have a personal loathing for homosexual acts, because it threatens their manlihood. I think if the Lord had wanted to send His wrath to any nation now, it would have been done a long time ago. There's no justification for any sin, with Christ. I can't figure out how that sin is worse than young men beating up a homeless man to death, or beating on an elderly woman just to steal her purse, or teens harassing and bullying and beating up on another teen, or gangs lynching a person because they are of a different color, or citizens pimping out young girls for prostitution, or young people going on killing sprees killing innocent civilians.

Yet, now, the vocal christian community isn't all right with homosexuality and they believe that only the sin of 'sodomy' will bring down God's judgment. Now we show much more civility and mercy to our criminals allowing them the privilege of self-defense in a court and the vocal christian community is okay with that.

I ask myself how children of those times fared living under such exposed violence. I'm sure people tended to become desensitised during times of British, French and European rule, with hangings, sending men to penal colonies, and beheadings. We in the West have been softened by living in a fairly un-barbaric time, compared to earlier times.
