What claim to righteousness may I claim? I claim no personal righteousness. A humble heart is not righteous alone, it is only righteous in the expression of what has been offered. It is not in my righteousness I express the following, but through the righteousness of the Creature.
As a Christian, are we to cower? Are we to bow to those who torment our God's revelation?
Especially on the holiest of days as Easter.
So we look to St. Paul's letter to the Galacians 1:10
10 Am I now seeking human approval, or God’s approval? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant[a] of Christ.
I am not looking to please you on your own premises. I am inviting you to understand the Truth revealed.
We are not to 'love' all as to love all that one does. We are to forgive those who trespass against us or others, Forgiveness is the greatest Christian love.
We see in the Our Father
Our Father Who art in Heaven
Holy is thy Name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
Where in this prayer does it say, ''Love means to love all creation to the extent that we should not pass judgement on anyone's hopes and desires''
It says 'THY WILL BE DONE''
It says '' Forgive us as we forgive ''
It says ''Deliver us from evil''
This is the greatest prayer, and in it we see a great revelation.
Our love comes from seeing others not different than ourselves, thus being that we are to give ourselves to God's will and not to sin, and we are to help our neighbors do the same.
A true Christian is one who offers all to God.
Homosexuality is a sin! Whoredom, that is sexuality outside of the union of man and woman, is a sin. This being, a homosexual is conducting themselves not for the will of God, but their own. As is all sin!
How are Christians to view their neighbors, friends, family, and other loved ones who practice immoral sexuality?
We look to Jesus to show us: as a Christian we are to follow Jesus as the example.
Luke 7:36-50 (New International Version)
Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman
36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,[a] and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
Forgive, and seek renewal!
What more is there to offer on this Easter day than renewal.
We are to love our homosexual and other sexual defiant neighbors and loved ones with a care for their souls. We are to welcome them into the promise of the kingdom and we shall say to them, seek God's will.
This is the crux of humanity: Truly believing in God's will so much that we put aside our own wills and desires, and believing that what is revealed is TRUE. Not readjusted to make us nice, but loved so much that we love others and invite them to the table as He has already welcomed us to do.
Good is not always ''nice.'' A father's love is not always ''nice.'' But a father's love is never fading, and always looking out for the weak and the troubled. Indeed, a father (a parent) is said to love more those who need the most love. With great concern the weak and troubled are not made weaker but encouraged with the message that everyday is a new day, and we should try our darnest to do that is TRULY right and just!
The promise is this: We should not adjust the message to our own wills:
