Jesus loves homosexuals.
Jesus loves adulterers. He loves abortionists, atheists, embezzlers, thieves, philanderers. Jesus loves convicted murderers.
For God So Loved The World. John 3:16.
Jesus loves everyone. He created everyone.
But not everyone He created will live with Him in Glory for eternity. Some of His created will die and spend eternity in torment separated from God. Some will not make it.
God’s word makes it abundantly clear who will not make it.
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 1:18-32
We can NOT mock God. We can not, as a culture, remove or ignore the Creator when we make cultural, social, economic, environmental or political decisions. Sadly, in my opinion, we have done just that. And, as Paul teaches in Romans 1, “Although they(we, our culture) know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they (we, our culture) not only continue to do these very things but (we, our culture) also approve of those who practice them.
Thank you for your words. The message of the love of God never gets old, or the message of the consequenses of rejecting His love. Thanks again for your heart.
All praise and glory to the King of kings and the Lord of lords!

Yes, God loves everyone and longs to receive them – BUT God is also Just and cannot deny His Word.
If we do not YIELD to the LOVE of God
and be CHANGED by the GRACE of God
there is NO WAY we will ESCAPE the JUSTICE of God
and the eternal WRATH of God.

The whole counsel of the LORD is profitable. I Corinthians 6:10 Do you not know the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? DO NOT BE DECEIVED: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality…. I Cor 6:11 and such were some of you. But you were washed you were sanctified you were justified in the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and by the SPIRIT OF our GOD.
Please do not add words to the scriptures like “we, culture” that is ading to the word of God and a curse is brought upon the one who does this.
This is not meant for poster: meeting in the clouds but the person who did not apply the whole counsel of OUR LORD.

Ken, thank you for your comment. I regret that you thought I might be adding to scripture. I sometimes use parenthetical expressions the same way some commentators use “(parentheses mine)” simply to add a note of clarification to the verbiage. I do this so my readers might better understand the scripture reference or relate it to something readers might be more familiar with. I’ll pray about adding those in the future. Thank you for pointing this out to me. God bless.
