Warning: This post is going to get blatantly honest, and some may find it "Judgmental".
I look around my church and i see a whole lot of young people pretending to sin. It's all laughter and joking, but what is the point of 'pretending', and how far is this 'pretending' really from the truth.
With boys in particular, it is the joking about being gay. I see guys grabbing each others butts, pretending to lick each other, telling jokes and so on. What exactly is the point.
I feel like asking them "Why do you joke about something that God so clearly despises?"
God is pretty black and white when it comes to homosexuality. it's wrong. it is an abomination in God's eyes.
Does this mean as Christians you are entitled to joke about it?
Apparently 1 in 10 people are struggling with homosexuality.
So looking at a church of a couple of hundred people, statistics say about 20 of them would be struggling with homosexuality.
So when you laugh and joke about being gay you are either:
1. Mocking their struggle or
2. Condoning it.
This goes for more than just christian heterosexual guys pretending to be gay for laughs, it also applies to christian girls "pretending" to be skanky, or "pretending" to be lesbians.
Joking about things God hates, is just not right. And it's such a stupid way to let sin into our lives.
Sin and the appearance of sin, are both bad.
As Christians, we are supposed to stand out from the world. Sin enters our lives so easily, and it just bugs me when we allow sin into ours and others through ridiculous, embarrassing, unnecessary ways.
God calls us to be pure and holy. One of the simplest ways to do this is to not do stupid things.
I'm not judging, i'm just warning.
Don't give the devil a foothold!
