“Fiercely Wrong”

Saturday, August 04, 2012

    So, preacher… I have friends who are gay.  And they were my friends before they came out, and then after they came out, they weren’t really different.  Well, except maybe they were more fabulous... and I noticed more glitter.  But glitter is great!

Increasingly, I find myself believing more in the idea that gay is good. It’s okay for men to like men and ladies to like ladies.  And I don't like the position that the church is taking against them.  In fact, all of my gay friends have encouraged me to explore my own sexuality... and I have discovered that I, myself, am a raging homosexual.  After coming out to some people, I am much happier in my life.  It’s actually like Christmas every day.

With my own sexuality being opposed by the church, I find it difficult to subscribe to it.  Really, I can't put faith in a god that would allow something like that.  At this point, I believe more in being fierce, ferocious, and fabulous than His divine law.

Sincerely,
Sassy Sir

Dear Sassy Sir,

It isn’t any surprise that you are becoming increasingly more comfortable with homosexuality since you are spending so much time around people who are living actively homosexual lives.  1 Cor 15:33 says that bad company corrupts good morals.  Our friendships influence us, and this is obviously the case with you.

Here is the problem.  No matter how you feel about the matter, the Bible says what it says.  Rom 1:26-28 makes it clear that when people turn to homosexuality, they are spurning God and committing sin.  Your frustration with the Bible’s position isn’t the Bible’s problem.  The Bible has said the same thing for 2,000 years.  Just because society changes its views, doesn’t mean God will, too.

You are welcome to believe whatever you want.  Just remember, your life will end someday, and for whatever choices you’ve made, you will stand before God and give account… the same God that wrote the Bible will also judge every soul (Heb 12:23).
