New Blog, New Post, Old news but feel the need...

In recently looking at the 'Political' groups on facebook.com, and my good friend **** ****** I came across a group called Stop Pure. This is an interesting topic and I will probably return to it on numerous occasions. I won't join the group because I don't agree with it; I think Pure (a UCCF run course on sexual purity with a look at the most authoritative book on the planet, which if you disobey it's teachings you disobey God himself - I would say that is inadvisable) is a good and helpful course that any Christian should attend so that they can safely ask questions without finding out the hard way.

I immediately had a look at this group and two uploaded photos of articles about this course and the recommended reading. I think the main problem people with something like this is they believe it's forcing views which not everyone has on people who haven't made a decision. This is wrong, of course, because if somebody has made a decision to give their lives to Christ then the views they want is that of Christ, so in fact they are allowing Christ's views to be told to them, not forced upon them.

The next point I took from the article in particular, which states "A pro-abstinence Christian course will encourage gay students to suppress their homosexuality" made me think about the world which knows nothing of Christianity. What is it? A commitment and relationship with an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-seeing God who gives what He wants from you so you can commune with Him. If this God doesn't like homosexuality you should agree with such a being. Secondly, they assume homosexuality is something to suppress, rather than a lifestyle to leave. Christianity encourages other things, like sensible drinking, it doesn't encourage suppressing alcoholism because it's not something to suppress but something to deal with. Is this making sense?

It makes me passionately angry when people don't know enough about something to respond to it. If they did know enough they would agree whole-heartedly because the truth of salvation from God's wrath is overpoweringly attractive, it looks like foolishness to men (and women) until it is understood by their heart.
