Totally agree with JewishHeart there, and yes not only repent, but it's easy to side track yourself and think your still doing the (will) of God, you need to ask yourself, Is this glorifying Him? Does this show the supreme value of Christ in my life?
GLBT, like any other sin, as Christians we should confront our brothers and sisters in Christ; that it is wrong and it's the kind lifestyle that God doesn't want for anyone. Just like we would tell anybody that sexual sin or pornography is wrong.
I really don't understand why people can't see this as a civil rights issue at it's core and not so much as a religious one. Look, I could spout the horrible statistics about hetero divorce rates as evidence that even Christians don't regard the sanctity of marriage. Instead, I'd like those who oppose equal rights for gays to think about why God would create people with two different sets of genitalia but not create people in the wrong body. Who are we to deny them their love?
Anytime you challenge the rote repetition of tradition and prejudice, you risk being called a heretic. Thank you for provoking thought.

Why doesn't it work like that?

If we allow homosexual marriage...something terrible WILL happen...
Homosexual marriage.
BTW...just because you say the Slippery Slope does not exist. Romans Chapter 1 and the history of the Roman empire would disagree with you,
And as for as which example holds more weight to it.. Tony Jones vs. History/Bible....
I will take History/Bible any day!

Keep fighting the good fight Tony. I think it's great that you are taking the time to answer people in a respectful, thoughtful, and loving way.

Tony Jones,
Teachers will be more judged harshly.
I am travailing for you in intercession.
You are leading many young people away from the truth.
Repent!
