The hottest topic at hand right now is GBLT, which stands for Gay, Bi-sexual, Lesbian, Transgender. I am so torn on this topic because on one hand one of my best friends is a lesbian and I love her dearly. Then on the other I am a Christian and it is a sin I shouldn't encourage.
So let me fill you in... I had a conversation with my friend about her past life and why she became a Lesbian. She proceed to tell me that her and her high school sweetheart had been dating for several years, then one night he popped the question..."Will you marry me?". She was happy and ready to start life with the love of her life. A couple of months past, one day she decided to come home early to surprise her fiance. As she walked into their apartment she heard noise coming for a room. So she kept quiet, followed the noise and found her fiance in bed with another man. She ran out crying and her life has never been the same. We met back in college when my life was filled with sin so to me it wasn't a big deal. Doesn't it strike anyone else as being weird that most GBLT have either been molested or had something tragic happen in their lives.
Fast Forward. When I got back into my faith a lot things surfaced that I had to deal with and let go, but her friendship wasn't one of them. I couldn't let go because I felt that I had to show her and be an explain that her life was wrong and she needed to turn to God. I didn't want to let her go because maybe deep in my heart I didn't want to be like everyone one else and hurt her. There has been many conversations between us, which scrapes the surface of her lifestyle, but never gets deep. I can honestly say that it is a conversation I am afraid to have, because I don't want to lose a good friend and it breaks my heart. She has thanked me for not judging her or treating her different, but it's My Faith vs. her happiness. My faith says that we as believers shouldn't give into sin, she is a believer, we must not listen to the flesh. So this is why I am torn because in my heart she lives in sin and I hate her sin but love her unconditionally.
Final thought I don't agree when people make it seem like being a GBLT is a sin on a higher plain or that it isn't a sin at all. A sin in simple term anything that is against God.
