A Christian can believe that homosexuality is wrong and that the lifestyle should not be engaged in. They can also love anyone who is LGBT as they would love anyone else. The rejection isn’t of the person, it’s of the action. As Pratt said, we are commanded by Christ to love one another. While Christ makes it clear that we’re not to engage in sinful behaviors ourselves, loving the person while rejecting the sin can happen simultaneously.
We, as Christians, do not make the sin and the person the same entity. They are separate things. A person may choose to reject his sin and ask Christ to take it from him. When Christ does, the entire person isn’t scrapped.
This makes Christians a rather friendly group who rejects the idea of hatred of an individual based on their sins. Christians reject homosexuality in the same way they reject thievery, lying, and adultery. At some point, everyone sins, and everyone, if asked, is forgiven. The vast majority of Christians still have homosexual friends while not condoning or participating in the lifestyle.
The hard-left doesn’t seem to have this ability to disagree or reject a lifestyle while still maintaining a friendship or loving the person while not participating in the idea they oppose. To them, being a Christian is intolerable and thus must not only be rejected, but anyone who is one must be canceled.
No idea can thrive but theirs. So they let their hatreds and intolerances run wild. They make false claims about individuals or institutions, accuse of their opponents of pure evil, and destroy the lives of whoever they can if they keep to it. Even if they don’t just being friendly with someone who believes in Christianity may get you canceled as well.
The real bigots here aren’t the Christians…it’s the hard left.
