We live in a fallen world, so what can we do?
We can love. We can love people who have the same sins as us, we can love people who have different sins than us. We can love people who are Christians, we can love people who are not. That's what we can do. We can also hate the sin, but love the sinner.
Homosexuality is a sin, but it is not the heart issue for the person. I am a sinner, and Christians still love me. We have to do the same for others. We have to love them no matter what.
The world's definition of sin is completely different than the Bible's definition of sin. The Bible describes sin as the breaking, or transgression, of God's law
(1 John 3:4). It is also defined as disobedience or rebellion against
God (Deuteronomy 9:7), as well as independence from God. The original
translation means "to miss the mark" of God's holy standard of
righteousness.
" 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him." -1 John 3:4-6
As a Christian, I have to hold fast to my beliefs from the Bible even in this always changing world. Marriage is between a man and a women, but I am not the judge of people who choose to live outside of this. That is only for God to do. Our job as Christians is to show Jesus Christ to others by our love.
