Thread: (Christians) Making Excuses for Sin and Evil (specifically homosexuality & Islam)

https://billmuehlenberg.com/2016/08/...uses-sin-evil/

Good Stuff


There have always been apologists for evil. ... But we should not expect others to do the same – especially Christians. ...


Yet I find this happening time and time again. Sinful activities and evil actions are constantly being excused and made light of by various Christians. Instead of resisting sin and promoting righteousness, far too many believers today are siding with sin – and sinners. ...

The issue of homosexuality is one such area where countless Christians have decided that God is wrong on this issue while sinners are right. ...

I refer to all the Christian apologists for Islam. They clearly know nothing about the political ideology known as Islam, but apparently know little about their own faith as well ...

I think there is some of that, but then there are others, like myself, who think that they cannot directly comment (judge) the life and fruit of a non-Christian. All we can do is live our lives in a way that is pleasing to God, and when the opportunities arise for us to speak of Christ then do so.

That idea is something I have yet to understand so I may get this wrong, but do you mean like?

no, because the prophets were usually speaking to Jewish people. (i.e. the same religion) In the instances where they were asked to prophecy to someone not of the Jewish faith it was because God asked them to do so. I would hope that should God ever prompt me to deliver a prophetic word to rebuke a non-Christian that I would do it. BUT because I'm just an every day plain jane Christian God expects me to walk out my faith, and when he brings those in my path who have questions, I share His love for them. God has this amazing ability to do the discipline Himself.
