Where do you draw the judgment line?

Cliff Richard, who’s been making music for FIFTY years, is coming out with a book and a box set. I like some of his songs, and happened across an article talking about his book and how he refers to his “companion”. I presume they mean partner or boyfriend or husband or something like that, it sounds like he’s a bit more than a roommate. I don’t care though. Neither does he. From the book:

“I think the Church must come round and see people as they are now. Gone are the days when we assumed loving relationships would be solely between men and women. It seems to me that commitment is the issue, and if anyone comes to me and says: ‘This is my partner; we are committed to each other’, then I don’t care what their sexuality is. I’m not going to judge; I’ll leave that to God.”

And to that I say AMEN! This is line I referred to in the subject. Who are you to stand in judgment of someone’s personal decisions? Isn’t the whole point of things like Christianity that you are to stand in judgment after you die and that’s when you find out if you chose correctly during life? (Mormons was the correct answer.) Because, you know, when I went to church I remember the lesson being “Judge not, lest ye be judged.” But then I haven’t set foot in a church of any sort for full mass in a long LONG time so my memory might be fuzzy.

    This kind of lifestyle (gay) goes against Christianity. Read these Bible verses Leviticus Chapter 20 verse 13 and Romans Chapter 1 verse 27.

    Anita do you read ANYTHING on my blog? Like, at all?

    And I don’t think those bible verses say ANYTHING about any sort of judgment being dished out here on Earth by the likes of you or me or anyone else. If they do feel free to comment WITH DIRECT QUOTES so I can be proven wrong.

    And you’re in violation of Leviticus too if you ever ate an oyster or wore polyester. So yeah, call it even and move on.
