[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Matthew 5:17 (“Do not think that I have come to abolish Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”)

Jesus didn’t come to love everyone and tell everyone he loves them even if they sin.

He came to offer salvation to sinners- all of us.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 ESV

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.[/quote]

This.

Jesus offers all of us redemption from our sin. We all sin, every day, sometimes intentionally. [/quote]

Like the people who judge others over who they love? [/quote]

We are not judging. We are holding to Biblical beliefs [/quote]

I am not going to commit adultery and then be mad because people point at out it is sexual immorality according to God’s word. I understand that adultery is very common, and a percentage of married people commit adultery. Are people going to be judged for committing adultery and tell God: “but I loved him/her?” That’s going to make it ok? No.

Each person can read the Bible and comprehend what it says. They can make their choices about their life, but they aren’t going to be able to call what’s wrong right, when judged by God.

If adulterers want to pretend they are right, they can do so. But we can read that God calls adultery sexual immorality and that’s just how He sees it.

If you are a Christian, you have to understand that you don’t do what you want to do, or what makes you happy, but what makes God happy.

We all sin and fall short of the grace of God, no question. But pretending that it’s ok for our own reasons isn’t what we should do as Christians. I am not a Christian because I want to do whatever I want and be forgiven. I want to try, sometimes unsuccessfully, to do what is right according to the word of God. My fellow sinners, I am not going to tell them to sin. That’s not helpful to them as Christians and not how Christians should act. We help each other, we don’t encourage each other to sin. [/quote]
