Equality for LGBTH community

Headline News! Equality and Fairness in the LGBTH community!

In Romans 3:19, Paul said the purpose of the law is to keep people from having excuses. Excuses for what? For my own sin. Paul goes on to say the entire world is guilty before God and NO ONE can ever, that's right NEVER, be made right with God by doing what the law commands. It's a practical matter really - we can't do it. 

v 24 ... Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares we are RIGHTeous. He did this through Christ. All we have to do is believe something that has already happened. That's it! This sacrifice shows that God was begin FAIR when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past. That's right - God included those before Christ in his plan of salvation through Christ as well. All they had to do was believe. He still declares sinners to be right in his sight when we believe.

I serve a FAIR and just God. He declares us all EQUAL in his eyes. To ALL who believe, we are made RIGHT with God.

So, who am I? I am a sinner by trade - it's my nature. What has God done for me? He made me RIGHT through the sacrifice of Christ. Simply by answering those questions, I am saved. How? My answer demonstrates my belief - my faith. I am grateful for the faith God has given me to answer this question. I couldn't even do that of my own good.

Therefore, I can add nothing nor can I take anything away from my RIGHTeousness through Jesus Christ. Abraham was made right through his faith even before the law. I am made right after Christ even with the law. As Paul said, I have no excuse.

Neither can I add or take away from another's RIGHTeusness by applying the law to their life. So, rather than focus on the law as it applies to another's life, let's focus on their RIGHTeousness through Christ. That's right, God is FAIR and we are all EQUAL in his eyes. To all who believe, L,G,B,T, or H, you are RIGHTeous! If you wonder what LGBTH stands for, well, I had to include heterosexuals. No one gets left behind.
