Christians Are Called to Lovingly Warn Homosexuals, Not to Hate or Massacre Them

Homosexuality is a sin and Christians are saved from the power of sin, they naturally hate sin because the Holy Spirit in them convicts them of sin in their lives and they love the LORD. But one of the hardest sins that Christians battle are not the obvious but a certain degree of self-righteousness. It is very easy to get tempted to believe in "me, myself and I" to be the reason for the changed life instead of the "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" to why the Christian's life is different from the rest of the world. The same issue happens when it comes to homosexuals. In God's standard, it is just as sinful as every other sin that condemns the man to Hell. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 does not merely focus on homosexuals but also on every other kind of sinner like thieves, fornicators, adulterers and drunkards as the lifestyles of the unsaved. If Christians were called to massacre lost sinners in general then there would no nobody saved. It is easy to complain about justice not coming immediately without realizing that though God hates sin, He is giving space for everyone to repent.

The Christian life has always been abut preaching the Gospel to sinners and not a ministry of hate towards sinners. Luke 24:47 says,"And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." The mission of the Christian has never been about massacring homosexuals but to preach to them the Gospel. I remembered the time I pretty got mad and said that those annoying homosexuals should be massacred. I wanted to really kill them all because many of them are very annoying people. I even wanted fire and brimstone to fall over their societies and say, "God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah." What I ignored is that before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, He gave them space to repent and when He had enough, He had enough. Although He is a God who hates sin but He loves the sinner enough to give them time to repent. If they refuse to repent of their sins and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, He then does His duty as a holy and righteous judge to send them to Hell. He takes no pleasure in doing His duty to punish the wicked but for sinners to come to repentance (Ezekiel 18:23, 33:11).

The real struggle of the Christian is not about flesh and blood but against the demonic forces of the world (Ephesians 6:10-20). Homosexuals are no different than any other person who is lost in their sinfulness. Romans 3:10-19 says that everyone is guilty before God. Massacring homosexuals will not stop homosexuality because the demons influencing the lost sinner do not die with the deceased sinner. Instead, the demons will always look for another unsaved to victimize. The whole problem behind calling people to have a bloodbath of homosexuals is really no better than what the Muslim governments are doing. It is very easy to criticize militant Muslims of their misdeeds but to order the massacre of homosexuals makes one no better. Christians are called to preach against homosexuality and every other sins not out of spite but not of love for the lost sinner. You can always tell the truth without love but you can never love without telling the truth.
