I'm...Dear Anonymous, thank you for commenting. <br />I'm not quite sure here whether what you are discussing is meant to be pointed at me or pointed at Christians in general... I agree that we are commanded to love our neighbours. But sometimes part of love is showing truth as well. It's not loving to let someone walk in sin without saying something! We aren't judging someone by lovingly pointing them to the cross! We are all sinners, saved by the grace and mercy of our Lord.<br />Oh, dear Anonymous, I don't know how to get the words out quite how I want to... but I just want to say, God bless you. <br />Also just for next time I quite like having a name to talk to! :)Bonnie Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920875696870120137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-41064378487250364102016-12-18T02:59:57.521+13:002016-12-18T02:59:57.521+13:00Thanks! :) Hope you are having a great weekend, Al...Thanks! :) Hope you are having a great weekend, AllieBonnie Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920875696870120137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-70003642352136894862016-12-14T04:21:25.263+13:002016-12-14T04:21:25.263+13:00I agree completely, Bonnie!

It really is easy to get caught up in pointing out one particular sin.. we can get fixated on one idea and forget that there are other things going on too! :)<br />Anyway, thanks for commenting...

I agree. :) I particularly like how you pointed out that we shouldn't treat gays differently to how we treat other sinners - it's easy to get caught up pointing out a particular sin, when God hates sin full stop. Anyway, now I'm the one rambling, but once again - great post!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543574650970283141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-35063440265720455542016-12-11T13:49:49.039+13:002016-12-11T13:49:49.039+13:00Within my own home it's fine because we all ha...Within my own home it's fine because we all have the same views regarding this in my immediate family which makes it easier! It's harder at school when for example one time I was asked for my opinion and said pretty much what your post says, then they twisted my words later to say that I hated certain gay people at school, which was not at all what I said! And I generally tried to not bring it up unless I was specifically asked because I knew that I would be ridiculed if I did! But thanks for your encouragement :) Jennifer Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-40027613649322860722016-12-10T11:25:58.704+13:002016-12-10T11:25:58.704+13:00Thanks, Matthew!

It's when you cave in to your temptations and ignore those pricklings of your conscience and do the thing anyway, that's when you've sinned... I so agree with you!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

How are you doing?<br />Thanks for your kind words... to be honest I wrote the basis of this post several months ago and have dilly dallied on posting it until now. Thanks for saying that I summed it up well. I dilly dallied because I thought maybe I hadn't written it very well or maybe missed some important things out... so that makes me very happy to hear that! :)Bonnie Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920875696870120137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-28943195835102492192016-12-10T09:49:47.125+13:002016-12-10T09:49:47.125+13:00Good post, Bonnie.

Being tempted to do something wrong is not a sin. But it's when someone follows through on these temptations that a sin is committed. Anyway, good post. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12705153484808965916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-16677614835084135312016-12-10T09:32:30.279+13:002016-12-10T09:32:30.279+13:00This was an awesome post, Bonnie!

"God is forgiving and loving and I don't like the idea that he won't send me to Heaven so I'm going to believe he will overlook my sin" is such a warped yet widely believed opinion. Yet the cross does not make an ally of sin. It never has, never will! We can't change the truth just because we don't like it....<br />Thank you for your sweet encouraging comment.

Thank you for stating your beliefs and sharing your opinions...it is encouraging to know not all Christians condone homosexuality...the answer I am hit with all the time from well meaning believers is that God is forgiving and has forgiven all our sins...past, present and future! Yes, tis wonderfully, amazingly so, but remember what Jesus said to the Samaritan woman...? "Go and sin no more!" Amen!<br />Thank you Bonnie!<br />Blessings and love to you through Christ our Lord!<br />Kelly-AnneKelly-Anne ♥ The Diary of a Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302889010690025224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172239685311691735.post-14335171196646455702016-12-09T19:12:07.086+13:002016-12-09T19:12:07.086+13:00Wow Bonnie, this is awesome!
