Tonight I watched a show on FX, called 30 days. The exact descritption of the show was this, “Straight/Gay. . . A conservative straight man from Oxford Mich, who has anti-homosexual prejudices, lives with a gay roommate in San Fransisco for a month, while there, he joins a gay sports team, attends a . . .” I dont know what the rest of it was but, the show was ridiculous! The show displayed post-modernism at its best. By the end of the show the woman pastor of a gay church had him thinking, that it was his own opinion, and interpretation of the scripture that made him think homosexuality was a sin. No offense to they guy but I think he was one of those people who grew up going to church, and just show up on Sunday just because they feel like they have to. The role of Christianity played a huge part in the show, because thats were he was basing his OPINION. He did an OK job of defending himself, but left the truth of scripture for the wolves. I’m going to pray for this guy, because he went home “changed” completely and thoroughly confused about his “beliefs” I would assume that the people who make these shows pick the people on them, carefully. I’d love to see them put a Billy Grahm, or even a bible college student on a show just like that, someone who is firm in their faith in God and who can rightly handle the authority of scripture!
There was no dispute about the scriptures that talked about homosexuality. However, the interpretation was up the individual. Even from the parents of homosexuals, came things like, “my truth. . . and there is nothing different about my daughter, she knows who she is, and I know who I am”
I’ve noticed that people only want to do what they feel like doing. It doesn’t matter what they know is right, or if it will affect other people. The way my parents raised me, this type of action or non-action rather, was referred to as lazy, irresponsible and immature. It’s not that people in ’ age are angrily rejecting the bible, or salvation. . . they just don’t care. I think they’re afraid of change, afraid that something could change what they know as their life. They know that what they feel is right and thats all that matters. . .aka Post-modernism. Even the thought of one person buying into this saddens my heart.
I can say that God revealed somthing to me tonight. The fact that the world IS watching us. We need to be careful how we live, not just for the world, not just for our friends and our families, and not just for us, but most importantly to God, who has said, “you are to be holy because I am holy”.
I just want to say, I DO NOT HATE GAY PEOPLE. I love them like my brothers, cause thats what they are. However, homosexuality IS sin. The bible is very clear on that. It doesn’t matter what you think, it doesn’t matter what I think, Scripture is the inspired, authoritative word of God, and as such, is the final word on the matter. I do not think that anyone is born gay. God created one man , and one woman in the beginning. And since homosexuals cannot reproduce, coincidentally, I am quite curious where the homosexual gene came from. I see homosexuality as a sin, just as i see lying, murder, and stealing. Homosexuality is a lifestyle? So, is sin, but thanks to Christ we are able to free ourselves from that. It is hard for one to deny their own feelings and simply believe what someone tells them. But that is exactly what Christ has told us to do. . . “And he called to him the crowd with his disciples and said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him DENY HIMSELF and take up his cross and follow me.” Being a Christian is seeking to do the will of God above all else. especially if it is counting yourself wrong, and saying i need help.
