30 Day Photo Challenge: Day 11

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.



I apologize if this image offends any of you. But this challenge asked for something I hate. Something I hate is stupid people using God's name to promote hate and intolerance.

I'm not really sure why the maker of this sign chose to put "ROM. 9:13" at the bottom. Clearly they do not know their Bible. Romans chapter 9, verse 13 states: "just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” (quoted from www.bible.org)

To me... that does not connect in any way, shape or form to God hating homosexuals.

In fact if people would just keep reading... Romans chapter 10, verses 9-13:

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[a] 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

As that passage says. ANYONE. There is no difference.

God loves all. God does not hate. Stop promoting your hate by trying to twist his words.
