I love your tag, Christa08 (I was shut down, blind, and broken.
Darkness over me.
Now my mind and heart are open.
Now I feel so free.)
The truth should set free, not keep bound up. Bound to the OT law, and so on. It's freeing to be accepting. But people are afraid. Not only of what they don't understand, but afraid to go against what they think God's word says.
God gave me a new (to me) verse on this. I know there are many spirit-filled gay Christians. The old fashioned Holy Ghost tongue talking kind. That was, and still is, the immutable sign that God has saved someone. In Acts 10:47, we read: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
And we should add, can we be anything but accepting?
Truly, the man who raped his daughter is not hearing from God. Most of the Christian world has their focus on the wrong things. I know all would condemn this act, and yet they won't make much of it, because he is not homosexual. That is the point, I think.
