We *LOVE* Everyone

I am making a short documentary for school about a subject that interested me and everyone else in my class.  It’s working title is “We Love Everyone” it’s about two generations of the same modern christian family and their personal feelings on homosexuality.  I kind of had a hypothesis in my head about what the outcome would be.  I thought that the older generation would be less accepting towards the idea and the younger would be more accepting.  I was wrong.  They both shared the same amount of acceptance as each other.  What I got out of this is, that is doesn’t really have to do some much with the generational gap and modern man being more used to the idea of homosexuality but it has to do with the family altogether and their influence and thought.  They all had the same idea, which was they don’t condone homosexuality but they will love and try to relate and understand people on a personal level even in their differences.  It was refreshing to me, because we are required by God and as Christians to love thy neighbor.  Not love thy neighbor if he is straight, or white, or rich, or ugly.  Love they neighbor altogether.  The documentary has been a very refreshing thing for me, to see that as Christians there are families that don’t judge outright, they are willing to love despite flaws or feelings, or sex, or orientation.  I think that is what we are supposed to do.  Do you think that this is what we are supposed to do as well?  Do you think that homosexuals have a place in heaven?  Do you think that you love the way that we are commanded to, despite differences?  I love people, and I hope they love me like I love them…

    I think that I rarely love the way I am commanded to, but I do want to and maybe my life has bits of that kind of love. Our 14-year-old was recently filling out an application to be a counselor assistant at camp. He had to give a brief description of his own spiritual journey, and he was stumped. I suggested he begin with what he feels is the most important thing about his Christian faith. He thought for a minute and then said, “I guess loving people and not judging others.” I wanted to jump up and shout, “YES!”
