There are two things that really irritate me.
1. When so called christians will picket somewhere and hold up signs that says "God hates f-gs". This statement is simply not true!
The word f-g refers to the person who practices the sin of homosexuality. God doesn't hate the person - but, the sin!
(John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Why would God die for someone he hated?
(Romans 5:8) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
When Christ died, we were ALL sinners. He died for every single one of us.
When God saved us, he gave us a commandment to make disciples of all nations. How are we to get people to serve God if we leave them to believe that God hates them? If we give them this impression, we defeat our own purpose.
If people held up signs that said, "God hates homosexuality", I would agree with that - 100%. We must make sure that we differentiate between hating sin and loving the sinner.
2. The second thing that gets my goat is when people accuse Christians of being "homophobic". I am not homophobic.
If I said that I disagreed with adultery, would you accuse me of having a phobia?
If I said that I disagreed with prematerial sex, would you accuse me of having a phobia?
What about rape, incest, child molesting, pornography, prostitution, and beastiality? I disagree with all those sexual sins just as much as I disagree with homosexuality, lesbianism, and bisexuality. It has nothing to do with phobias.
I believe that any sexual activity outside of a marriage between one husband and his one wife is sin. Period.
Again, it has nothing to do with phobias. It has to do with hating sin.
If you are involved with the sin of homosexuality (or any of the other sins that I have mentioned), God loves you. He wants to save you, to deliver you, to give you a better quality life than what you have right now.
If you want to turn to God, here's how:
(Acts 2:38) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
God Bless,

About Me
- Douglas
- My name is Douglas Collins. I was 4 lbs. at birth due to a blood virus. It affected all my blood organs. They did not expect me to live. If I did, I wouldn't be very tall, have the mental capacity of a two yr. old,& wouldn't live past the age of 11 or 12. I'm 43 yrs. old, graduated in 1988, & am about 5 feet 8 inches. Not short one bit! I was born deaf in my right ear, blind in my right eye. In my teens, I started losing my hearing in my left ear. It was nerve deafness, nothing they could do. At 17 at church camp, I felt led to go pray. God spoke to me & said, "You take your hearing aid out and you never wear it again." I did and God healed me! In Feb. 2002, I started losing my hearing in my left ear again. They believe this time that it is a blood clot pushing on a nerve. Please pray for me that God would restore my hearing.
