There are two main things people have a complaint with Christians. I'm going to discuss them and then explain them to put them into the proper perspective.
Being a Christian and picking who you'll vote for may be a challenge for you. Let's explore this.
I’m a strong, devout Christian. I have a problem with homosexuality. But I respect them as a person, have friends who are gay and I have no problem with them having the same legal rights as a married couple since these specific rights are based upon the laws of the land.
However, in my home I will support and teach marriage according to God’s word which is my right to do in my home. And along with this I teach tolerance to others.
When they leave this world they will then be judged by God for their actions and choices. This is between God and the person and doesn’t involve me. It is not my right or anybody else s right to judge another. That’s God job, not ours. Our responsibility is to love one another. God did not put conditions on this and only say to love certain people. Love all.
June 30, 2015 – Yesterday I sent an email to Franklin Graham. Following is the letter I sent to him. Since I decided to make this an open letter I added a bit more information which is clearly indicated by being in italic since I used no italics in the email to Mr. Graham.
I’ve been told this was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary. Whether it was or wasn’t, I love the story and the points made in this.
My confession:
I don’t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can’t find it in the Constitution and I don’t like it being shoved down my throat.
