“PK, why does God hate gay people?” I sat across the table from a massive NFL player, and his eyes were sincere with a genuine curiosity that expressed an underlying emotional pain. I said, “Why do you think God hates gay people?" with an intuitive discernment of why he was asking. He shared that one of his family members was a lesbian and went on to tell me that he heard some Christians (including a pastor) say that God hates all homosexuals.
Thank you for hilighting the work of Illuminations. My son and his family are with one of their partnered groups, Pioneer Bible Translators. They are headed to Papau New Guinea to translate the Bible for a people group that as of now have no written language, so stage 1 is creating a written language for them! I'm so thankful for God's Word. Thank you for pointing us to define God through His own words about Himself, not someone else's false narrative.
This is the problem with Christians and Christianity is that all they talk about is a loving God and choose loving verses as you did to prove your point. But God is Holy and that comes before His Love because His Holiness shows His Love not the other way around. All through Scripture we read God judging wicked people because of their sins and wickedness. He loves them enough to give them time to repent and turn from their sins. But if not He gets angry and punishes them with wrath. He is loving but also Holy. The God of love is why people say “If He is loving why throw people into hell?” Because Christianity makes Him out to be a loving God,there is no fear of God because He loves. There is a balance between the two and not let one be more then the other.

The people they are working with have no written language at all, so stage 1 of the Bible Translation project is creating a written language for them! So much kingdom work still to be done.
During my life, I have always heard and used this phrase in all aspects of sin and again, this phrase came to me in helping me to explain God’s truth in the shortest amount of text-typing time regarding this particular life-style.
Perfect timing for my heart struggles! Thank you so much for this...I can’t wait to read and hear more!!
