I tried not to be upset, after all, I shouldn't be surprised of your reaction; but I was, entirely. I guess... when we don't seek God, the world eventually seeks after us, and grabs us. Our values had gone adrift.... what irritated me the most wasn't your response toward homosexuality; it was a sign of where you are in your spiritual journey. We used to share so much in common, and what I treasured the most was our eagerness in Christ. I should have realized... you were walking away from mine, and should have attempted to hold you back.
Yes, it is the fundamental principle that the state and church are to be kept separate and independent from each other, yet we act out in what we believe in, and my vote does being affected by what I believe in Bible. Church and culture has ALWAYS been interrelated significantly, and homosexuality is NOT about human rights... believe it or not, satanic scheme plays a even greater force in this issue. My dear friend, you might not see how huge of the influence this proposition can play out in the next 50 years, but I see how this will harm the generations to come. You might not consider this as a way of 'hurting' people because maybe it doesn't physically, yet it totally hurts God's heart, and it means... bringing down a GREATER sin upon ourselves by opposing God's command on top of what we've already done unrighteously. And actually, homosexuality HURTS people psychologically and mentally... it just perverts our natural God-given images! And when people regard this issue solely as humanly rights, it proves our world's corruptness. Love & Truth.... has a unique corollary, depending on which comes first. That's why in John 4:24 it says "God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." Anything that doesn't come with God first will end up going astray no matter how good a thing is. As simple as that is! Jesus Christ has set the ultimate example and is the source of EVERYTHING. We want our ways of loving others when we ourselves don't even know how Jesus has loved us, we seek to find the social justices for homosexuals when we don't even know that God cares for them more than we do but He hates the sins, yet He has remedy for ALL.... through the redemptive power of Jesus Christ! Salvation... salvation... this is what boils down of, something I care about you the most.
Today I was reading Jeremiah who prophesied the words of God truthfully, but people wouldn't believe its severity and wanted to sentence Jeremiah to death.... as multitudes and officials seized him, he said "Now reform your ways and your actions and obey the Lord your God. Then the Lord will relent and not bring the DISASTER He has pronounced against you. As for me, I am in your hands; do with me whatever you think is good and right. BE ASSURED, however, that if you put me to death, you will bring the guilt of innocent blood on yourselves and on this city and on those who live in it, for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak all these words in your hearing" (26:13-15). The other prophet, the FALSE prophet, Hananiah, who only said pleasant things to the people & all priests, was being acclaimed.... but he died the same year he prophesied because he had preached rebellion against the Lord (28:16). My point is... we ought to do what is godly in His eyes, else.... God will indeed bring punishment upon this land, upon us. He is loving... and yet He is HOLY. Without Him, we can't love..... stop treating this as a mean to communicate our 'love' toward the homosexuals. I love what God loves. God LOVES homosexuals MORE THAN WE CAN EVER BE! BUT His righteousness reigns 2. Truth comes with love, love comes with truth, 缺一不可. C'mon my dear friend, vote YES on proposition 8. No negotiation on this one! God ordained marriages to be between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN!
