Forgive but never forget!

You've got to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you've got, and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget. Don't Judge, learn from mistakes, but never regret 

Homophobia

Did you know that many Christians don't know that:

Jesus says nothing about same-sex behavior?
The Jewish prophets are silent about homosexuality?
Only six or seven of the Bible's one million verses refer to same-sex behavior in any way -- and none of these verses refer to homosexual orientation as it's understood today?

I was watching TV and I saw a segment from the Ellen show, it was about a group called One Million Moms and how they wanted everyone to boycott JC Penney's for hiring Ellen as a spokes person. Wow I am still shocked, and I don't know why, that hates groups are still out there. I am so sad that people are still using the Bible as a weapon. God would have never wanted anyone to be hated in the way they do.


I am a openly gay Christian and I do not think that God hates me for being this way. I was born this way and God loves me no matter what anyone says or tries to intemperate the Bible to say.


I wish more people could focus on love and being kind as my church does. I go to Zion UCC in Henderson KY and I have to say I love that place! I feel at home and no one and I mean no one treats me bad, they accept me for who and what I am. I can even take a guy that I am dating with me. What Church should be all about, Love not Hate!

   
I thank God every day for the wonderful people has put in my life and even my family. I have two great open and accepting parents and my sister loves me too! My close friends are the best people I have had in my life. My friends at Church are the nicest people you could ever meet. Even at work everyone is accepting of me, managers too. Now how lucky am I? God has truly blessed me!


Now God had one more surprise for me, he bought Shayne into my life. Again God is looking out for me and taking care of me. He brings people into my life that I need at the right time, and most of all for a good reason.


Don't get me wrong I have up times and down times, I am human, plus I have to deal with people that are homophobic. It does get to me from time to time, but then I remember that God is looking out for me.

Conservatives

I hate to be negative, but I get so tired of hearing these republicans saying all these bad things about gay people and then saying they are Christian. I just don't understand? God teaches love and all they do is preach hate. There are 6 passages in the Bible condemning homosexuality and 362 condemning heterosexuals. So explain to me, why they have to hang on to those 6 and forget the 362? 

The God I know doesn't care who or what I am. He loves me no matter what. Where is the love that God talks about? Why are gay people such a threat to everyone? I just don't understand? Seams like there is so much hate in the world, so why do they have to add it? and even in Gods name?

What is funny about them is that they have secret lives and do all the things that they are so hell bent against? 

I get up every morning and see all the hate that my brother post and it makes me sick. He has no control over his own life. His wife and Daughter control him and he puts out so much hate about liberals to deflect from his own personal hell.

Sorry about the rant there, but my brother got me fired up!
