I'm not a perfect Christian, so I call people idiots/fools. I might even slice someone's ear pretty soon.
Who is? If we were perfect, we wouldnt need Christ and the precious gift of Repentence He gives us. But we do. Which means we need to use His Atoning Grace to repent. That means if we know we arent living a certain principle, we need to work on it until we are. Too often I think people are like "I'm not perfect, so not going to try to live what Christ taught me." But Christ still wants us to follow Him. Why else would He say "Come unto me"?
He loved us and invited us to love Him and others. If we love Him, we will keep His commandments and love our fellow man.
Agreed, which is the reason that I believe Christian churchs should open their doors to and be more accepting of sinners including homosexuals. Christ said, "come unto me" and the church slams the door in their faces. That has nothing to do with "accepting" the sin. What it has everything to do with is inviting sinners to a relationship with Jesus Christ. Then we can let him deal with the sin in the manner he sees fit.
