To your impression,did I get very insensitive across??...so that you assume I would "bulldoze"
a poor homosexual...I don't know if you read my past post of years yonder here on the board, but I did consider after the letter sodomites in "obedience" to God to be "willing" sigh...to a homosexual, who happened to have plain lust after me, while witnessing/litnessing in front of a central railwaystation...I was agonising and in the end I told him no on the phone...thank God...
I witnessed to some other homosexuals and they struck my as "sweet" spiritually very lovable...at that point I had my moral compass anyway mixed up/not straight...but I wanted to please God and TF etc...
As a family of Berlin...which is quite known for it's sexual liberty (the current mayor is homosexual)...even then...we knew a threesome of homosexual men...I never had the chance or took it to witness in depth to them although one was quite eager to talk when I visited Germany from India...he's very catholic and became quite deadly sick recently.
It takes "guts" to share what you perceive to be the truth...face to face...please don't jump the gun and put me that easily in a box...I know it's a very delicate matter...the love of God is extended to all...but love happens also to be correction...and that is hard to do...to me at least.
I know one church-organist who had his coming after I think having in a normal marriage 4 children...he had to resign his ministry...he asked me whether I believed, what Paul writes about the subject (apparently also clear to him)...
I hohummed @ about ten years that is back or more...my conviction gained momentum...since my lukewarmness didn't please me either...I figure...it didn't God either
I think it's wrong to not love the sinner anymore (beating someone up because of that is cold and cruel)...I guess the church and families are here very responsible too...I guess I am not an expert in dealing with them, but I also thinK, that in such moments you can get the needed wisdom to address the individual situation
