Clash!

Well there is but another clash in my life. Sinners, friends, saints, friends. Yesterdays church sermon pretty much told me that being involved with Christians is far better than being involved with sinners. I disagree. That's a very self-centered thought and it's only true to the ones who want to be eternally safe as well as saved.

There are still people who crave a touch from God, or even a friendship to get them to their feet once more to approach this thing called life. I LOVE my sinners more so than my saints. It's Him who can help them find salvation (with assistance from me, who God is using).

There is nothing at all wrong with a sinner, it's the sin. So be friends with the sinners, love them, they are people. Discrimination can occur in more ways than race, age, sex and sexual status.

I don't usually intend to write so prejudicially, allowing my belief to get the better of me. But this is how I feel, and I'm real to myself. If I'm seen as a kook then so be it.

Another thing. I understand that the bible rejects the idea of homosexuality. I don't. Again, gays are people, they do have feelings, and their sexual orientation shouldn't affect the ways in which they life. I have gay friends, I respect them and some of them even inspire me. Their stories, their tragedies and heartbreak of being gay...is just trauma to the mind. Nobody should live like that. Nobody.
