Loved most of it....

Homosexuality - born with it? I know several former homosexuals that say they weren't. Others say they were. The Bible is clear, Wilke says that the Bible isn't clear. We must read the bible ourselves, pray and decide. What about Genesis, one man and a partner, woman? We can't let today's culture change what the Bible says. Many tear out the sections they don't like. Is that right? It's either all right or all wrong. Faith tells me it's all right. I have homosexual friends that I love. I disagree with their lifestyle, but don't judge. That isn't up to me. Hate, ALL the Christians I know don't hate, that is a label given by non Christians to those of us willing to stand by the Bible for what it says and always has said. Other than that topic, It is a great book and right on the money about today's church and society.
