Garrett, I gently suggest

Garrett,

I gently suggest that the issue has nothing to do whether or not you approve of their lifestyle. The question is, “Does Jesus approve”? This is much, much different. Your friends may well understand you don’t approve. But do they understand that Jesus doesn’t approve? That’s worlds apart.

Ultimately, it does not matter whether you, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell or Bob Pratico approves or disapproves of their lifestyle. Does Jesus approve?

If a gay or lesbian is truly seeking Jesus, do they understand (at some point) that Jesus does not approve of their lifestyle? If not - or if they refuse to accept it - they are coming to Him on their own terms. And we cannot come to Jesus on our own terms

“there has never, ever, been an issue about them not knowing that Christians do not approve their lifestyle.”
