Today was the last day of school and I was given a list of practice essay questions to attempt. I didn't practice those questions. Instead, I wrote about my reflections about homosexuality and Christianity.
--------------------------------------------
Nowadays, there is a heated debate in the Christianity community about the issue on homosexuality. Science has proven that attraction to the same gender can exist in nature. However, these attractions are detestable in God's eyes and are described as "sinful" in the bible. The issue here is that why would God being the creator of the universe, creates something so paradoxical?
I do not have the answer with me.
However, the main issue with homosexuality is that the people are not well-received by the Christian community. Some Christians condemn homosexuality by saying that the people who engage in these acts will go to hell etc. Yes, the homosexuality act should not be well-received, however, the people who engage in these acts should be well-received. Just like a healthy person who does not need a doctor, Jesus did not come for the righteous, but came for the weak and sick. Therefore, all those who sinned and fall short of God's glory should be welcomed in the church. Church should be a place whereby groups of sinners come together, pray about their sins and receive strength to fight against the temptation of sinning, not a place whereby perfect people come together. Going to church means that you are admitting that you are weak against the temptations of the world and have to rely on the strength of God to overcome them.
In short, God hates the sin, but loves the sinner.
