Love and giving is ordained by God. In other words, love is encouraged, commanded by God, and even includes loving your enemies.
The highest form of love for humans is the love God ordained between a man and a woman. This is a spiritual law that the world cannot and has not realized.
God gave us a commandment and only a man and a woman following God’s law, AND having the matured spiritual knowledge of their experience together, will enjoy the true benefits of God’s true blessing.
Anything outside of God’s instruction (which is only between a man and a woman) is not God’s love. Instead it is evil, and God hates evil. God gave is this world to live in and to take care of. He will not intervene unless we invite his help and believe on/in Him. He will return to judge what we have done with his commandments, instructions, life, and world that he has given us.
Now tell me if you agree.
Then why did King David describe his love for Jonathan* as “passing the love of women”?
* Setting aside the slimy calumny that they were queer for each other, of course.
AC,
Respectfully, I can’t disagree more that people (perhaps even holding high positions in the church) could be considered EVIL simply by adhering to their inherent preferences for the same gender. This article continues to sow the seeds of hate whether it was your intent or not. We need to focus on finding peaceable agreement…not dividing between good and evil based on our own interpretations of such.
So the Lord was sowing the seeds of hate when He said men lying with men is an abomination?
Since the Bible was written by men, and that not withstanding, since there are bound to be errors in transcription, let alone interpretation, it’s hard to determine what is meant to be the divine word and what isn’t. People are born and wired with their preferences in their genetic makeup. Why would they be punished when they have no choice?
Are you similarly dubious about the proscriptions against murder, thievery, adultery and so on?
You believe this not because you know it to be true, but because you know it can’t be disproved on the basis of premises you accept.
Ask Jesse next time you’re on the show. 😉
