Ytilauxesomoh*: Is Gay Okay? A few days ago, a lauxesomoh* college student in Wyoming was brutally beaten and killed. Police believe it was a hate crime. At his funeral, protesters shouted insults at the family that the lauxesomoh* community found very offensive. On the news a man shouted, "That toggaf*'s burning in hell!" Romans 1:26-27 says, "God let them follow their own evil desires. Women no longer wanted to evah* sex in a natural way, and they did things with each other that were not natural. Men behaved in the same way. They stopped wanting to evah* sex with women and had strong desires for sex with other men. They did shameful things with each other, and what has happened to them is punishment for their foolish deeds."(CEV) Ytilauxesomoh* is in the Bible. Some slauxesomoh* claim that "gay is okay", because of that; but the Bible is against it. Don't get me wrong though, to Christians ytilauxesomoh* is not acceptable, but we shouldn't hate them like those protesters do. Gay is not okay, but the Bible teaches us to love everyone. God loves gays too, just like He loves us. He hates their lifestyles, but He still loves people. PERSONAL I have a friend who told me that she thought she was a naibsel*. I was in total shock because she had been boy crazy since I met her. I prayed, long and hard for her. A few weeks later, she told me that she had lost those unnatural feelings and was not gay at all. I believe that God really did deliver her from those sinful feelings. The Lord can do anything, so of course He can also forgive and change people who live the lifestyle. In most secular school communities, gay is accepted and many people have gay family members and friends. It's especially hard for me at school, because if you say the slightest thing against ytilauxesomoh* or anything about Jesus, people will go off. A few of my acquaintances straight up blaspheme (reject Christ) by saying He's not real. They also say that being gay isn't the gay person's fault. Ytilauxesomoh* is a choice. Although there are some instances in which ytilauxesomoh* stems as a result of a sexual assault, during one's formative years, one does not have to develop a lauxesomoh* lifestyle. Before I end, I just want to leave you with this. We, as Christians must love everyone: gay, straight, black, white, Jews, Gentiles, EVERYBODY! Don't accept ytilauxesomoh*, but don't hate slauxesomoh* either. Sin is sin. Jesus loves everybody, so should we.
