So when people here say I’m a POS, homophobic, transphobic, etc., I just shrug it off and sometimes snicker at it because it isn’t that I care what others do, I just acknowledge what I believe is the truth. I didn’t write the book.
The tide is, of course, turning out of that favor and that’s in Biblical prophecy. But from a Christian perspective, those people will still face judgment and the law they will be judged on is the law that God put in place. It’s a truth that even a lot of Christians don’t want to believe.
I had a friend who died by self-inflicted gunshot. We were at one time very close, but had not spoken much for a few years prior to his passing. There were occasions that we discussed our beliefs and unless his changed in that time that we did not have contact with each other, he died an unbeliever and I won’t ever see him again. He wasn’t a bad person. Of course, I hope that he accepted Christ at some point before pulling the trigger, but I won’t find that out until my life is done. And that’s usually what people get wrong about Christians. I believe the Bible in its entirety, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not bothered by the thought of never seeing unbelievers again or that seemingly harmless people go to hell or that I believe those people deserve to be there. There will be a lot of people in hell that lived good, even generous lives. And that’s a hard truth for even the most faithful Christian to accept. But, that’s what the Bible says. I didn’t write it. I just believe it’s the reality we live in.
