WHAT IS GOING ON????
I would like to apologize on behalf of so called Christians. Yes I am a Christian who has an actual relationship with God. I know that in today’s society there are negative feelings toward us, but honestly it’s for a good reason.
I believe and read the Bible as do many Christians but what I do not do is twist God’s message to the world and twist it into my attempt to bash creatures who the Bible says God made. So here is my apology. I am sorry that there are churches in America who protest at funerals. I cannot imagine having to bury some loved one and then having supposed lovers of God tell me that person was not loved by God. God loves everyone the Bible does say that ,but some Christians take that and turn it into a God loves only the ones who fit into the typical “Christian” mold ,but that does not make any sense. Why would a God who created a world hate it at the same time? That does not make sense. Now this is what the Bible says.
God does LOVE everyone but does not LIKE what some people do. I believe that homosexuality is a sin, but here is the kicker. Everybody sins!! All of God’s creation cannot fulfill God’s standards and yes that means even “Christians”. It’s how we treat each other that matters. Most Christians think that Jesus came to this earth kicking butt and taking names and that He came to slay the infidels but that is not the case. God came to this earth to show His love for the world. Jesus actually hung out with the “sinners” of His day more than the “Christians” of His day. God does not want people to live sin but He does not want us who are supposed to be “Christians” which actually means in Greek “like Christi” to be the judge for the world…That’s God’s job.
My job as a Christian is to the same love that God showed me. I was a sinner and I still do sin, but God’s love for me or for anyone for that matter does not change and it never will. I do believe in a heaven and a hell for those who do and do not believe and accept God, but I do not wish or hope that anyone have to go to hell. God does not want His creation to go to hell. That is why He sent His Son Jesus into the world so that we might see the way to God.
I am really sorry to those who have been beaten and mistreated by fake Christians because for someone to love God they have to love people to and unfortunately they seem to forget that. God really is love and yes not everyone will go to heaven but I still will pray that you find the love that my God gives. Find an actual Christian or if for some sad reason you cannot find one please contact me. If for nothing but to talk or just listen.
“For God so loved the world that He gave is one and only
Son that whoever believes in Him will not die but have everlasting life.” JOHN 3:16
