But by the same token, there are horrible things being done in reaction: mockery, bullying, I
want to distance from that as well, completely. Now today the word . .. somebody to call you a
homophobe is almost the worst type of accusation that they can make, but I want to state very
plainly that if you are stating the biblical position lovingly, it is not homophobia; and your manner
in stating also should not be homophobic. But what the world is after is not just to
homophobia; it is homophilia, to accept as just another choice.
So whats the Bible say? And I want to also be clear because its equally important what does
the Bible not say? My prayer going into this is that may be clear and biblical passages, loving
and hope giving. those here that struggle with same sex attractions, and I want you to have
hope from the scripture because as we sang what Christ did on Calvary, what he did there it
brought hope from despair. And we have the answer that we need. But as I go into this, I want
you to know that I also have close homosexual friends. Several of them are unsaved, and Im
trying to be a testimony to them. They know my position. Were close friends. In fact one of the
nicest guys I know is a homosexual. And I have a tremendous burden for him. I also have
friends who are saved who are battling same sex attraction, and I want to encourage you .I have
friends who are saved who are winning the battle, who are being fruitful in their ministry for the
lord despite their ongoing battle with something they have fought for as long as they can
remember. But those who imitate God, if we are with God, what can we say? if were
imitating God, we have to imitate what he says. We can only say what the bible says.
I want as we start off to address something that was given to me last week by Mr. Daulton
written to a student, and I will not use all of the words written in this. To a male student:
You ____. You dont belong here. This is a Christian school. Get out. God doesnt love gays.
You dont belong or deserve to be here, so go burn.
