Discrimination

Someone commented to me that I must have never faced discrimination. I think that is mostly true. I had written a blog about God not changing, being constant. I remember a time I was looking at a house to rent with my 2nd wife who was black and the landlord took me thru the house but when my wife showed up, she did not take her thru the house. But does it matter? At least pertaining to that particular subject? What should change the heart of God? Should what we want to consume on our desires change the heart of God? We look at instructions to slaves in the Bible, how they should treat their masters and how masters should treat their slaves.  I do not think God was pro-slavery.  I think the Bible was giving advise on how to live in the current times, the current political values. I don't think my beliefs amount to discrimination. I want to interpret the word of God correctly. If I am incorrect, I pray God will change my thinking. We must not show respect of persons. I do know that is wrong. We must not mistreat another human being. Does that mean we have to rewrite the Bible? We didn't have to rewrite the Bible to free slaves, or give Blacks the same rights as others. My view is, Homosexuality is not much different than adultery or fornication. If God calls it sin, it is sin. Have I sinned? Yes. Is there anyone on this earth past or present that did not sin? Yes, Jesus Christ. That is it, everyone else sinned. I don't think my view on this is all that important. It is God we stand before someday. We can change laws to accommodate the gay community, but does it change how God is going to look at it on judgement day? This is not the first subject I have change my views on.  I do know that God is a just God and he will be fair and just on that day.  Even if we view homosexuality as a sin, and I do believe that is Biblical, we should not mistreat gays. We do not or should not mistreat an Adulterer either. I feel the gay community would like to rewrite the Bible or at least reinterpret the word effeminate in the King James version of the Bible. The amplified version of the Bible says "those who participate in homosexuality. There are so many words that we come to disagreements on in the Bible, why else would there be so many different denominations? Yet we all stand before God some day, and that in my view is what is really going to matter. Not the laws of this country, not my political views, they will not matter at all. There is safety for mankind in the Biblical view if it be homosexuality or adultery. What have you done with Jesus? Now that will matter on that day. This is my blog and my view. May I be like Christ in the way I present what I think in this blog. If I am not correct or Christ like, forgive me.   God bless, LVZ.
