Honest Questions About Gays Or Our Own Faith?

I posted this response on: /tonyjones/an-honest-question-about-gays

We are called by Christ to love God, love each other, and make disciples of all.

The problem with rationalizations are that we all make them with whatever our own particular weaknesses are.
We are all skewed by whatever hierarchy of sins we choose that makes us feel as if we are not as bad as others.

If you know someone for whom homosexuality is preventing loving God, loving others, or making disciples, then you have an opportunity for ministry to help them.

Now the purpose here may actually be to help those who’s prejudices about a particular sin. So I think we’re not really talking about what is right or wrong with any particular form of sexuality, but why we can’t simply “love each other” which keeps us from “making disciples” and should make us question our own ability to “love God.”


What’s this then?

I've had a strange relationship with faith for as long as I can remember. My journey has gone from doing what I was told, to questioning, to doubting, to abandon, to wonder, to play along, to work against, to open up, to change, to embrace, to wonder, to doubt, to work towards, and to keep searching for better answers. Our various understandings of faith are deeply personal. Sharing those understandings can be very helpful to ourselves as well as others.
