Dear Brethren,
Let's covenant together to reach people with the truth. We have no command to tolerate sin in order to win 'souls' for Christ.
If we tolerate sin, we have not won them to Christ.
I also still have not seen where the derivative of this man's 'secret' is that he is a gay trying to justify his own secret feelings.
This man and I disagree on many things, he knows that, I and he have discussed our disagreements in person, face to face, we have grown irritable with one another, I still think his belief is unbibilical (and I am not talking about his stand against homosexuality) and he still thinks my belief is unbiblical, we continue to 'bash' each others beliefs, but I think it is time to explain why you feel you have justification for defending those living in open known abomination against God, while bashing a brother who is trying as much as is humanly possible to preach the word of God from these politically correct states to Thailand.
You cannot justify your bashing of him, except by claiming an unbiblical command to win souls for the Lamb of God, even if it means tolerating their open sinfulness.
I for one will stand for this man in his belief. He may have presented some poorly researched information, but he is a professed child of God and has returned to the U.S. only in the last month from Thailand, depriving himself of the leisure comforts we have enjoyed, he went there shortly after attending a bible conference in Alabama in June last year.
Well, I have said enough.
