OK so a few questions...
would the Pope tell a Serial Killer "God made you that way and loves you as you are,"
would the Pope tell a Pedophile "God made you that way and loves you as you are,"
would the Pope tell an unrepentant serial adulterer "God made you that way and loves you as you are,"
would the Pope tell a Klepomanic "God made you that way and loves you as you are,"
would the Pope tell a unrepentant wife beater "God made you that way and loves you as you are,"
would the Pope tell an "animal lover" "God made you that way and loves you as you are,"
would the Pope tell a necrophile "God made you that way and loves you as you are,"
Somehow i don't think so. Pressures of current social politics playing on this Pope much?
Maybe it's pressure of the homosexual and or pedophile Priest and Cardinals lobby in Rome?
Jesus told the woman caught in adultery, "neither do i condemn you, go and sin no more."
Paul said...Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. 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...
Corinthians 6 -11
Seems to me folks -especially Christians- should take the words of Paul and Jesus OVER any preacher, Pope, "feelings" or pseudo-science that says anything otherwise.
Yes, God loves us All from Hitler to the kid that only stole a candy bar. but He doesn't gloss over sin. He die for them all.
Pretending that any of them are of God's making and they should go unaddressed is not what the Bible ask us to imply to "sinners".
neither has scripture asked us to make compromises with sin so we don't offend.
Jesus didn't say things that made everyone feel good about their sin did he? He died for them so we could bring them to him and LEAVE them at the cross. daily if we have to.
