Your son has made a choice

that is by our very nature offensive because God has instilled in us all

a reasoning of what is wrong and what is right. We all often ignore these

feelings when we do a wrong and over the course of time it becomes easier

to ignore. That is the very nature of sin!

I realize that your family

must suffer quite a bit because of your son's choice, but thinking that

every Christian hates the sinner and not the sin is absurd, to say the

least. I assure you that there are those of us who may disagree with your

son's lifestyle, but we still love him as well as your family as God demands

us to do.

I will not sit here and try

to justify right and wrong in regards to homosexuality as God's word has

already been written on the subject and it is very clear to those who

are truly saved and open to his leading. We all, as humans, have a lot

of growing up to do and, God willing, soon we will know perfection as

it was meant to be. Let me say that though I have never met you or your

family, I truly love you as God has asked me.

Does that mean I accept your

son's lifestyle? No! But I love him just the same and I can assure you

there are many more who feel this way than you may ever believe.

In closing, I do not know if

The Citizen will print this or even forward it to you because of the very

nature of journalism today. What I have said is the truth, as I believe

God has taught me. Get into his word, pray daily and seek his own guidance

and not your humanity and he will reveal his truth.
