Love is the Reason for the Gospel

I watched a video of a man standing on the sidewalk of a “gay pride” parade. He was holding a sign that
spoke of God’s opposition to homosexual lifestyle. A woman pastor, decked out in her official attire of
black shirt with the priestly collar, was literally screaming at him. She was furious. “Do you even know
what the Gospel is?” She yelled.  He said “Yes, God loves you, Jesus died for you and wants you to
repent of your sin and be saved.” It looked as though her head was about to explode, and she screamed,
clapping her hands in anger “No! No! No!  It is love! The Gospel is love!”
Please understand that God is all about love.  But the Gospel is not love. Love is the reason for the
Gospel.  Love is why He sent Jesus. Love is why Jesus died on that cross.  But the Gospel is simply what
that man said. It is terribly sad that some ministers, priests, and other religious leaders are leading
people astray, preaching such false doctrine. I’ve often wondered how and why they preach such
blasphemy.
I have concluded that, at least partially, they are living the lifestyle that is forbidden. They are preaching
and teaching false doctrine so that they can give in to the unholy desires of their own flesh. Some are
preaching it out of fear of not being accepted by some people.  Some do not want to hurt anyone’s
feelings.
I passionately believe that no one can read and study the Bible and conclude that homosexuality is an
acceptable lifestyle. Unless…they simply disregard all scripture that conflicts with their own desires. In
fact, I would not be surprised if someone made a LGBTQ+ Bible translation. It would simply leave out
any verses that called out their sin.  I suspect it would be a big seller in the “pride” community.
Say Good things about your Savior.
