That is the same as saying, Hi, I am a Christian rapist, or Christian murderer, or a Christian adulterer. You can't follow Jesus and still remain in sin. "This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth." I John 1:5-6 Sure people try to justify all kinds of sin in the Bible but Jesus still does not approve. It is not right to treat a gay person as a non-human being. A Christian is required to deal with all people in love whether we agree with what they do or not. I accept people but not necessarily their lifestyle. I did not use the examples of murderer to say that homosexuality is the most disgusting sin or anything like that. The point is you can't even be a Christian liar, or Christian Satan worshipper. Light and darkness do not mix. To be a follower of Jesus we must live by His teachings and ways. In Jesus love, karen alias larryg
