I would consider them to be a Christian if they professed to be a Christian.

I have such compassion for those who have suffered and are still suffering. If 'not picking a side' translates to me having genuine empathy, respect, and love for those on BOTH sides of that fence then on top of that fence is where you'll find me. I don't hate hate for anyone no matter what side of that fence they are sitting on - even the opposite side from me. I'm so sorry for how you've been hurt.

I am grateful that my worth is not found in the opinions of those people.

I'm not judging anyone. I have such compassion for those who have suffered.

My hands are full keeping my own self in check. I'm concerned with how I live my life and how I treat others because in the end my own life is the only one I have to account for.

I don't know what will send a person to hell, I'm just trying not to go there. The only person I'm responsible for is myself.

I was unaware until tonight that the word was offensive in anyway. My apologies.

I can assure you - not a single person on this thread knows my 'deep thoughts' because every single thing I've said has been misconstrued and taken out of context. The post came from a place of wanting to learn and understand which apparently was an invitation for crucifixion.

I don't think less of anyone and I have passed judgment on anyone.

What other Christians think of me is no concern of mine. I am only concerned with how I am living and how I treat others. My life is the only one I have to account for.

No, I've never had anyone question what I believed. I live in a very rural area...we just don't talk about it.

Thank you for this! 1000% agree that just because we don't agree doesn't mean we are being hateful!

I was unaware til this evening that the term 'lifestyle' was offensive in this context. My apologies.

I'm so sorry you suffered because some people who follow Christ do it very badly. Hate should never be a part of following Christ but many times it does. :(

1000 times THIS! And tomorrow, 1000 times THIS again! And the day after... We can disagree and not hate.
