He did not come in condemnation of the lost but to show them a more excellent way of love....... Loved of God so that you love yourself so that you can love and serve your neighbor as yourself.

When will you fundamentalist love the world instead of condemning it?.

Since you want to resort to childish name calling to try to make yourself feel better.

I can easily flip this question back on you and ask when will you heathens stop trying to be conformed to this world and actually set your self apart from it like a true believer should.

1 John 2:15-16
Do Not Love the World
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life[a]—is not from the Father but is from the world.

Romans 12:2
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.


Believe it or not, you can actually still Love someone and not agree with their lifestyle choices. I have friends out there who sleep around alot and some that have tried the LGBT way, and we have talked about it like adults. Ive pointed from scriptures why they shouldnt be living like that and we disagreed, while some claimed Jesus didnt speak about it..etc, but in the end it was just a discussion/debate, not me condemning or hating them.

No true believer should be out here support Gay Marriage or any form of Sexual immorality among heterosexuals.

I do not believe you. I will always stand with LGBT folk while they are judged by fundamentalists and bigots.

I think a quote from another thread is the most appropriate answer:

But they also can't explain how such a thing could be offensive to God or create a problem for someone in their relationship to God or others. They resort to "the bible says so" when the few verses that are used as proof texts are either based on the translation of an obscure word, or reading their preconceived ideas into the passages. One has to wonder why, against all reason or spiritual sense, they feel the need to hang onto those preconceived ideas.
