Gay Sex in the Kingdom of God.

Is it possible to practise gay sex in the Kingdom of God?

I believe that God does not discriminate.

So the answer should be: Yes!

But within the Kingdom of God there are still many people who oppose gay sex.

So we may experience hostility and opposition within the Kingdom.

Many gay people would say that it is better to reject the Kingdom than to have the Kingdom reject you.

But I say it is better to remain in the Kingdom and trust in God's Love.

If we pray for those around us who are persecuting gay men and lesbians perhaps God's Light may dawn upon them and they will see that God does not discriminate.

Children of God.

"'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.  I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.'"  John 10:10 (NRSV)

Do not be fooled by the subterfuge of Satanism which is hidden in rock music, popular entertainment, and sports.

They come only to steal and kill and destroy.

"'He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.'"  John 8:44b (NRSV)

Do not believe their lies.

"'Whoever is from God hears the words of God.'"  John 8:47a (NRSV)

I speak the truth:

God does not punish us.

Hell is totally out of character for a loving God.

There is no devil in reality, only devil worshippers.

They worship a lie.

There is only God.

God is Love.

Love God with all your heart.

Love your neighbor as yourself.

Then you will be Children of God.

Goodness.

We should not confuse being good with being well-behaved.

As children we are told that we are good when we do what we are told.

But this is not true goodness.

Goodness is an orientation of being.

Goodness is an attitude of benevolence.

Goodness is a habit of giving.

Goodness is a readiness to love.

So do not confuse goodness with mere behavioral compliance.

Goodness is so much more than that.

Good People.

Good people tend to think that other people are good like themselves.

This naivety, some might call it gullibility, is the primary cause of the advance of evil in our world.

Evil people deceive good people and pose as saints, even saviors and messiahs.

And because these evil people are in positions of influence - mostly through the popular media - they lead good people astray.

So be careful who you follow.

They may not be as good as you think.

Mass.

All men desire mass.

Good Works.

The old way of preaching was to do good works to earn a place in heaven.
Otherwise you would go to hell.

This fear-based message is not what Jesus taught.

It is the carrot and stick religion of the conservative establishment whose motivation is to control the masses.

Jesus taught to love God and love your neighbor.

Salvation is a free gift from God not something you have to earn.

And while much good has been done by the Churches in the past this fear undermines the central message of Love.

So overcome your fear and your lack of faith and love with all your heart.

Good works will follow.

Gay.

I am gay.

I am a child of God.

I am a citizen of the world.

I am bound for Heaven.
