EXPRESS YOURSELF! DON'T BACK DOWN! “Esta é uma palavra fiel, e digna de toda a aceitação, que Cristo Jesus veio ao mundo, para salvar os pecadores, dos quais eu sou o principal.” [1 TIMÓTEO 01:15]

CHRISTIAN LOVE FOR HOMOSEXUALS!

CHRISTIAN LOVE FOR HOMOSEXUALS!

I just watched a message from Pastor Claudio Duarte and he said that in heaven we will have 3 surprises:
  1. When I get there, I will be surprised that I am there.
  2. When I am there, I will be surprised that I see some people there.
  3. When I am there, I will be surprised that I do not see some people.
If every Christian let others live their lives and their intimacy with God, the world would be a better place. But many 'brothers in Christ' have put themselves in God's place. Worse: many 'brothers in Christ' think that God is their henchman.
 
As you can see in the photos below, an inclusive church posted a video saying that God loves LGBTs and that there is a place in heaven for everyone.


I commented that there are many straight people who think they will go to heaven just because they are straight. A ‘fundamentalist apprentice’ told me that ‘being straight is one of the conditions’. Where he got that from, I don’t know.
 
There was another ‘religious’ person who went to my profile and judged me by my photos. However, he forgot that, according to 1 Timothy 1:15, all of us, absolutely all of us, are sinners! According to this beautiful verse, I am the worst of sinners, and you who are reading this text are the worst sinners.
 
“This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst.”
[1 Timothy 01:15]


One of the biggest problems of ‘brothers in Christ’ is forcing/spitting out a holiness that doesn’t exist! And worse still, behind all this ‘holiness’, instead of embracing and loving like Jesus did, you only push people away. You put yourselves on a pedestal and make others feel bad and still say ‘I love you, brother!’. You love nothing!
 
You, 'brother in Christ', who are reading this text and think you are superior because you are a Christian, here I tell you: You are just one more! God did not give you authority to do anything! You do not have God's power of attorney!
 
If every pastor made videos talking about corruption, idolatry and ADULTERY with the same intensity that they do about Homosexuality, I think the church would be more respected and would see other horizons.
 
When Eyshila's son died, there was a wave of 'brothers in Christ' saying that God killed him so that he would not deviate (become gay). Can you analyze the sewer that we are in?
 
The 'apprentice fundamentalist' asked me why I am bothered by him talking about the "sin of homosexuality".
 
In truth, this does not bother me. I just find it very pointless to keep spouting morality, holiness and religiosity. We Christians should be able to EMBRACE our neighbors, regardless of the person's situation.
 
Example: Imagine, for example, a transsexual arriving at your church. How would you, a brother in Christ who is reading this text, react? Would you start talking about the Bible and sin or would you call him to talk, to hug him?
 
The church has to be a hospital and not a court. My role as a Christian is to EMBRACE others. The role of judgment, we leave to the ONLY One who can do it: God.
 
And, to conclude, here is what I say to you:
  1. Stop meddling in other people's lives!
  2. Stop judging the sin of others simply because they do not commit the same sin as you.
