Pride

Since I've become a Christian my stance on homosexuality has been confusing. Before I was a Chrisitan I didn't think it was a big deal and I even encouraged it. But when I read the bible and saw the verse that read " to lay with a man as one lays with a woman is detestable to the Lord" I realized I had been wrong about the whole gay thing. But it was hard for me because I felt like I love my gay friends with all my heart but I was hearing from Christoans that it was wrong and gay people basically weren't pleasing to God. So I tried to not think about it and I just followed the basic "love the sinner hate the sin" rule.

But today my school had a host of events supporting the LGBT Alliance. And someone in the administration questioned me about my beliefs about homosexuality. I was really uncomfortable because I really didn't know how to verbalize my beliefs. Is it so wrong to marry someone of the same sex?  The person really forced me figure out the truth of the matter. And I really felt bad because I felt like I sounded like a Christian that just follows other people and I don't think for myself, which isn't true. I just haven't had alot of convos about homosexuality and Christianity.

So I was watching Joyce Myer and thinking about today and I thought "its none of my business". I don't have to figure out if gay people are pleasing to God or if gay people should get married. I just have to love them. Who am I to judge their life? Its not up to me to supervise another christian's walk with God. I'm only responsible for myself and no one else. And realizing that is extremely freeing.

In Christ,
