I wasn't really going to say anything, mainly because I knew I'd get eaten alive here. But, I'm really struggling with this. I've disabled the comment box, because I just want to explain why this is so hard for me without having to hear how I'm a bad pe

I guess I'm what Clay would call a stereotypical Christian, except for one thing. I was taught to love the sinner, hate the sin. After all, there isn't a person on this earth that wasn't born a sinner. I'm a bible-believing Christian most of all. And the Bible calls homosexuality a sin. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 states: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor revilers, now 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." I've heard a lot of people ask the question, "how can it be a sin if you are born that way"? Everyone is born with sinful desires, and everyone is different. We have Adam and Eve to thank for that. I know that Christians tend to rate sins, but I really try not to. I think my sins are just as worthy of damnation as anyone else's. I don't see how anyone who knowingly goes against Jesus's teachings without repentance could call themselves a follower of Jesus. I had a similar conversation with a friend of mine who was headed down a wrong path. None of what I'm saying now is going to make sense to a non-Christian. But I don't believe you can pick and choose what parts of the bible to follow just because it's easier. So, I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that Clay is a great person, and a great performer, and he'll make a great dad. But I can't say beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's a great Christian. So, call me a bigot, call me intolerant. Call me whatever you darn well please. After this, I don't know if I'll be welcome here. But I can't stay silent when someone who claims Christianity tells me that I'm a stereotype because I believe the bible in its entirety. No one knows the heart of man except for God, so I won't say that I know Clay isn't a Christian. That's not my place. And I still want to be a fan. I'm just not sure how to do that right now. Anyway, that's how I feel. I suppose, if you really want to yell at me, my general comment box is still open. I won't blame anyone who does, and I won't yell back. This has just always been the place that I share my feelings when I can't keep them in my head any longer, and this is no exception.
