I am a born-again Christian and “opposed” to homosexuality. To be more specific, I believe “being” gay is sinful. I believe it is a genetic characteristic relevant to the original sin all are born with. I believe being born with homosexual characteristics is systemically no different than being born with alcoholic tendencies or that which I was born with, a highly addictive personality which, ultimately, led to me being thrown into drug rehab as a 17 yr old. Some are born with very serious, deadly tendencies while others are born with much more harmless ones. Overcoming these tendencies almost always leads to greater peace, a closer relationship with God and even salvation!

Homosexuality is a sinful genetic tendency one should seek to overcome just as those with alcoholic tendencies do. If everyone were to make their specific “genetic sins” socially legitimate we’d likely have no society at all and be left with Mad Max style anarchy. Further, forcing others to accept your point of view or to agree with you that your sin isn’t really sin does not give one contentment or happiness but rather results in the emptiness which was there all along and can only be filled with the blood of Jesus Christ.

So, to the homosexual, please meditate quietly while seeking true peace and love. I believe if you do so honestly you will find Christ. To the Christian who seeks to boycott, jail and ultimately rid the country of homosexual persons, stop and ask yourselves, does this give you peace and does the homosexual see Christ in you?

Please, as Christians who know the love, peace and awesome love of Christ, you have the greater responsibility to put your arm around your enemy, show him/her the love of Christ. Let them see Christ in you and if they are not interested in learning about him then dust off your feet and move on to someone who does want to learn and be saved.

Kindest Regards,

Bradley
