GOD and Jesus define a very delicate balance in the bible where: GOD loves you unconditionally, God made sex for Man and woman, GOD gave humans free will, and GOD commanded us not to kill. The ‘Christian Right’ and ‘Christian Left’ will have you believe that the Bible says all sorts of stuff about homosexuality and abortion…But what is GOD really saying. Is He homophobic or is He Anti-choice. In this message we will clearly present that GOD loves everyone despite their sin but humans have learned to judge each other. Its our judgments that keep people from finding the real GOD.
The Big Idea
We can’t judge each other’s sins, we must love and bear with each other
God's View
Leviticus 18:22 ’Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Exodus 20:13 You shall not murder.
Mathew 7:1-5 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in someone else's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from the other person's eye.
John 13:35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.
