I purposely kept these blogs simple and open to interpretation. This is a subject that could have easily become long...boring...detailed...and DEEP but I hope that, as you read them, they left you asking questions and even initiated you to do some personal investigation. You have a mind of your own, and all I hope to do is encourage you to FIND OUT for YOURSELF what Scripture says on the homosexual question...Is it in fact a sin?
I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, an attorney, judge, DA or even a court clerk....What I am is a gay Christian who has been wrongfully accused and convicted of what I believe, and hope to prove to you, to be the non-existing sin of homosexuality.
Thankfully I have survived these accusations relatively unharmed, only a few heartbreaks, but nothing that I can't overcome. Unfortunately that has not been the case of countless others in the LGBT community. Many deaths and deep soul wounds have occurred, due to the MISinterpretation of the Word and biased judgements from an uniformed jury....
Please read ALL 4 parts of this blog before going any further:
1) Who's The Abomination Now?
2) What About Sodom and Gomorrah?
3) ROMANS 1
4) Homosexuals will NOT Inherit the Kingdom of God?

Imagine your self as a registered voter, who has, by the luck of the draw,been called to jury duty. You have been called to hear the trial of a young gay woman who is facing death. If she is found guilty of the SIN of homosexuality she will be "burned at the stake". She will be forced to wear a "scarlet letter" around her neck until the date of her execution. The stigma that comes with this "scarlet letter" will assure that she will be considered a social outcast and will be rejected by all of society. She will be forced to join the other homosexual sinners who hide and live in colonies; denied any semblance of a normal existence.
Now, as an impartial, unbiased, open-minded jury of her peers, with a mind of your own, you have been presented with ALL the evidence, fully aware of the sentence that will surely be handed down if found guilty, you are asked to make a decision..... A LIFE ALTERING decision....
The only instructions that you have been given is, "After reviewing ALL the evidence, ask yourself the following questions."
DO NOT decide until you have reviewed ALL the evidence.
What's your verdict?
SIMPLE REALLY......
Just Bb
......This, of course, was a hypothetical situation, well....kind of.
The truth is, gay people are rejected, isolated, condemned and denied the rights that every other American has; the right to Marry the one we love. Think about it for a moment: Is homosexuality a sin? Or is rejection, isolation, condemnation, and denying one the right to love and be loved a sin?
Each time you "decide" that, in your opinion, same-sex marriage is wrong you are taking away someone's right to love.... Each time you "decide" that homosexuality is an "abomination" you are possibly aiding in a teen suicide...(24.6 % of homosexuals attempt suicide compared to only 2.4 % of heterosexuals) Each time you bully the gay community with Scripture you push them further from Christ, leaving them thinking, "That God hates them because they're gay, and there's really no hope for them" which ultimately leads to a soul unsaved....
So your "decision" is TRULY a matter of LIFE and DEATH--choose wisely

- "Does this prove beyond a reasonable doubt that homosexuality is in fact a sin?"
- " Is there enough evidence here to convict someone to death by eternal damnation and fire?"
- "What would the Judge (Jesus Christ) do?"
- Guilty or NOT Guilty?
DO NOT decide until you have reviewed ALL the evidence.
