What is mercy for the LGBTQ++?

At a post-inauguration prayer service, a bishop pleaded with President Donald Trump to have mercy for the LBGT+ community and illegal immigrants. The president faced the woke bishop bravely. He said, "[The Bishop] failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people. It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA... She and her church owe the public an apology!" However, Trump did not speak much about his decision on LGBTQ++.  The following is my response to the pastor's speech.

Dear pastor, how can you defend LGBTQ using the Holy Bible? Nobody is killing them or persecuting them, as you portray. However, your democratic friends force pastors to observe Homosexual pride months and fly their flags. We cannot do it because we follow God's word, which considers Homosexual behavior as sinful as Murder and Adultery. Nobody flies flags to celebrate the spirit of murder. Do they?

Why are illegal immigrants coming to America illegally? Can't they pay taxes in their countries and live as patriotic citizens? How many refugees come from Islamic countries whom other Islamic countries refuse to take in? Why should mercy be selectively given to those who do illegal things and know how to justify themselves?

There are many Christian people in African countries persecuted for their faith; the democrats never fight for their rights, nor do they admit them in America as refugees. Why should America dispense grace selectively only to Muslims fleeing Muslim countries because of terrorism? Why can't other Muslim countries help these people in need? Why can't the Muslim countries control or stop terrorism in their own countries?

What is mercy for the LGBTQ++ and those who do unlawful things? Will Jesus forgive practicing homosexuals unconditionally? (Read 1 Cor 6:9-10; 1 Timothy 1:10)

Happy Resurrection Day: The day God's love and justice defeated the devil's hatred and injustice

In a famous movie dialogue from Dabang, the heroine tells the Robinhood Police officer who proposes to her, "Thappad se darr nahi lagta sahib; pyar se lagta hai." (Sir, I am not scared of beatings. I fear love.) Love is the crucial ingredient of God's character that makes the devil tremble. Many of us assume that the devil fears holiness and loud rebukes. On the contrary, he is not scared of self-righteous people's holiness or loud rebukes of spirit-filled prophets. He fears love, genuine love. Jesus Christ defeated the devil's hatred expressed in people's rejection by his love. He came to his people, but they chose to disown him. Even so, he chose to love them more, so much more that they didn't know what he had accomplished for them upon the cross. Many people must have thought that God punished Jesus. They were right about this first aspect, but little did they know that God had laid their punishment upon him. Like sheep, they had wandered away, but, in...

Where our Hearts are not Afraid of the Terrorist into such an India lead us Lord...

Lately, a Muslim brother said to me, "Sir, there is no place for terrorism in Islam." I liked his assertion. He is so confident that Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Sikhs, and Atheists did all the terror attacks in the world until now. We must acknowledge such people's knowledge of others' knowledge and their confidence in their ability to convince others of what they believe is true. I wish what he said was true. However, if you take the sheer data of how many Muslims committed Terrorism and what their percentage is in this matter when compared to other religious communities, you would be left astounded. More than ninety-nine percent of all terrorist attacks in the world were the gift of Islam.   Still, he defends the people of his religion brazenly. This conversation happened immediately after a group of terrorists brutally killed twenty-eight people in Kashmir in front of their spouses and c...

Empuraan: A Movie Review from a Hindu-Christian Perspective

Dear Empuraan, We love you. We know you intend to present something positive using negative Biblical characters. Love and justice are human needs. Perhaps it is because God created us in his image: love and justice. Your movie is successful. Your acting is superb, as always. People love your presence and presence of mind. Your message is justice through strength, that is, by punishing the wicked. Even so, the Bible says, "Delightful are the merciful. They shall receive mercy." I loved many of your quotations from the Holy books. For instance, "But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it... for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you (Matthew 10:19-20)." However, the first 10-20 minutes of Empuraan are a biased depiction of historical facts to support one faction of Kerala's thoughts. Don't forget that the Gujarat riots have a cause. Muslim people burned a train in Godhra on 27 February 200...
