I often replay a conversation with a pastor friend of mine
that happened a few years back. I explained that I choose not to judge gay
people and that I choose to love people as Jesus directs me. His response was,
"You still need to take a stand against sin." I was a bit dumbfounded
at that moment.
Here it the thing. Love is a valid choice if not also one of
the two commandments from Jesus. Jesus did not come to judge us, but came to save
us. Love was His mission. I wish I had the answer I have now for such a
response...
I would say, "Then what the hell did Jesus die on a
Cross for if not for love?"
