1st Corinthians 13: 4 Charity suffers long, and is kind; charity envies not; charity vaunts not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.
When Christ walked this earth, He manifested a love towards those who were not in harmony with God’s will, and that includes all of us. Jesus’ love could be seen and felt by all who He came in contact with. Jesus did not sanction wrong in any way, shape, or form, but He always took a genuine interest in their spiritual, and physical wellbeing, and for this reason, harlots, and sinners like Zacchaeus and Mary, were never turned off by His presence, but were rather attracted to Him.
The ways in which gay people are treated will go a long way in opening doors to conversations on the matter, and it may be, that some are having a truly hard and difficult time trying to come to grips with themselves. Thus, the Christian should be ready and willing to treat with mutual respect, everyone who comes into our sphere of influence.
[The D.A. pp. 353] Christ Himself did not suppress one word of truth, but He spoke it always in love. He exercised the greatest tact, and thoughtful, kind attention in His intercourse with the people. He was never rude, never needlessly spoke a severe word, never gave needless pain to a sensitive soul. He did not censure human weakness.
1st Corinthians 13:6 Rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 Bears all things, believeth all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
