It seems to me so many young people these days are confused. They say they believe in one thing but do another. You cannot believe in Jesus and live for Him and believe in gay rights. But being a Christian means you still love the person but hate the sin. That does not mean you bully others who think they are gay etc. you pray for them and you try to witness to them. But if you never tell them about Jesus and act like their life along with other everyday sins we all do are okay then you aren't doing what God called for us to do. In return you will be judged for that in the end. You also do not want to be the reason someone didn't make it to heaven..
God puts people in your life for all different reasons. Some are there for you and others are there for you to speak into them. So how would you feel if when you get to heaven your friends that you loved soo much weren't there. Instead Jesus says to them ' depart from Me for I do not know you' and they go to hell. All because you wanted to be cool and not hurt any bodies feelings by not talking to them showing them about the truth when it comes to their sexualities. I know its tough but if you care for your friends you will do your part.
That doesn't mean you beat them with it or talk down to them. And once you've said what you needed to its no longer on your hands. They've now been told so what they choose to do at that point is up to them. Even if they never change at least you can have a clean conscious especially when you get to heaven. It's so important for us Jesus believers to stand out in the world. To be frank about it if your legit you don't even have to speak to stand out people should be able to tell by your presence and the way you carry yourself that your a Christian. If you have to try and tell me or convince me you are something odds are your not.
I know nobody likes to talk about these things but we should. Just because we believe God created man and woman and called them Adam and Eve and made us in the image of Him which is pure and holy doesn't make us homophobic or hateful. It should make us loving and caring, kind and respectful, honorable and loyal. So take time and think about who maybe your suppose to be a witness to. Think about the people who you do not want to go to hell for eternity because its real and it's not a joke. It is torment and gnashing of teeth its burning for the rest of time. If you love your friends and family then it shouldn't be something you are afraid to bring up. Don't let there souls be In your hands.
I hope I did this justice. It's just something that hits home because I see these middle school and high school kids even the ones who go to my church and my little step sister. There all over social media thinking they are being loving and cool because they want to put up equality for all. Then also put in the same sentence I believe in Jesus and I am a Christian. I know they mean good by being nice and 'supportive' but they don't quite get it. It's a much bigger and serious deal than they think. But you can't do that. It's actually dangerous territory your stomping in...
-- This post is not just about friends who say they are not straight, it's about friends who do not live in a way that lines up with Gods Word. Any sin. Anyone who is not saved who does not have a real relationship with Jesus. We are to be a light, not a stumbling block--
