today I wish I would watch my mouth. (or in this case my writeing.) I typed this horraible reply to this journel. It was about homosexual movie and my friend was ranting about it. And I replyed to it say "not to worry Lirbrals and homosexuals will kill themsevels off anyway." BAD IDEA.This woman told my how her close friend(whom was in her kendergarden class) comected susidice and how right winged regiouls leaders had hurt him before he died.
I feel like such a hyprocate...I don't know what to do.

Well, just apologize. Tell her you weren't thinking at the time, and you shouldn't have said it, and you are really sorry. And that's... All I can think of to do.

i think it is not thinking it that is the problem ... it is saying it. In some ways i feel the same... but i choose not to say it to some people because it can really sting....

Actually, it IS thinking it that's the problem, Natsumi.
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. - Matthew 5:22
Just pray for forgiveness, and you're forgiven. Ask the person you said that to for forgiveness, and ask forgiveness from the person you hurt.
This is why the Bible warns us to choose our words carefully, and that a tongue is sharper than any sword. Not trying to make you feel worse. XD;; Just saying is all.

i was speaking in general...
some thoughts are fine... and dont have judgement attached... some do. Watch your thoughts and what you say. and guard your heart to what enters.
Remember out of the mouth the heart speaks.
As far as the specific thing about homos and liberals... i think to some extent it is true. I had a homo uncle... he died of AIDS because he decided to do immoral stuff.. so in a sense ... they will weed themselves out for their immorality... much like what happens in the bible. Many liberals push these ideas that are "freedom" based but then lead to death either spiritualy, mentally or physically. God set up some moral structure and limitations for a reason.
So, as far as the thought... it has some truth... but i wouldnt go tell it to my homo uncle...
So like i said... chose to whom you say stuff... and what stuff you say. Thats all.
That is cool taht you said sorry!! Im proud of you!

I don't know what you can do other than apologize, and pray about it.
But you learned something, right? It'll be okay.

I could say a thing or two about liberals, but this isn't the place for it. As for homosexuals, "love the sinner, hate the sin." I actually knew a guy at my church who was struggling with homosexuality, but he was really a pretty decent guy. Besides, the problem is purely psychological; homosexuals can change. They just don't appreciate being forced to.

Yeah, I can understand saying stuff without thinking. It happens to me all the time, and gets me in alot of trouble. All I can say, is that you just need to think about how and who what you say could effect.
Like, for instance, I remember playing Olympic League baseball. We were talking about the Pope, and I remember saying something smart. Then all of a sudden...

...I found myself staring at the biggest player on our team. 6'6. All muscle. And apparently, Catholic.
Foot in mouth disease effects us all.

I have done the same thing sometimes.
You did your part. You apologized and asked for forgiveness.
If that person does not except the apology how then is that person better than you? By admitting your sins and repenting for them you just did what a believer and servant of Yeshua would do. Do not beat yourself up for what has happened. And though a conflict started over a few simple sentences, you are trying your best to move on, right? We all say spiteful and thoughtless things to one another. Tis' the nature of humans, we are sinners. Homosexuals need prayer, lots of prayer. But for apologizing and praying I believe even if this person does not forgive you, do not show the same coldness back. Prayer heals wounds. God knows your heart. He knows that you did not mean what you said. So even if that person does not appreciate the apology and the effort to be forgiven, do not let it discourage you. We are all sinners. The difference is some of us are saved and others are not. But you can continue to pray for these people and follow God's will to seperate you from these people, to stand for God and God alone. Do not feel shameful and angry at yourself for what you did. Emotions are wild things. We feel things one minute and completely change our minds the next. Feelings are unruly. The best thing you could do is ask for forgiveness. Not just wait and see if the
person will forgive you. God will always carry you in His arms so what is there to worry about? Judging that you should not do this again, you learned from it and it teaches you to think more before you act. Read the Bible and pray, I am sure that comfort will come to you. I will also pray for you. But please do not worry. You did what every human does. Make mistakes. And the Bible says you cannot change the color of your hair by worrying, meaning that what good is there in worrying? Sleep happily. Guilt may come upon you but this is Satan's weapon. Become closer to God and I doubt these mistakes will happen as often.

Well, look on the bright side of this. You learn something from this and you did tell then that you were sorry and ask for forgiveness. Now, if that person doesn't take your apology, then leave it at that. Give that person a cooling off time with this and see if they will take your apology. Even if it's a week or month or year when they do apology, then take it and just forgive her for being mad with you.
The other thing is.
Just remember, love sinner, hate the sin! I have been around alot of people that were homosexual, when I had to go use to go to Atlanta AIDS clinic. I learn alot in my short time, when I found out that I had aids when I was giving bad blood when I had surgery when I was a baby. The thing that I learn that to be care and love others from it. The thing that I think about now a days is on if a person maybe dealing with sin is to love the sinner and hate the sin! Look at Christ, he cared about everyone, he was around people there were sinners just about all the time. Did he turn his back on them? No, that is because he was showing that God cares!
We all need to remember that. We should show other people that we are care and we love them, so it will show what a real christian is all about.

True, what you said was not the greatest, but forgive yourself. You can't be the only person who felt this way one time or another. Receive your friend with kindness and try to be more considerate to people's feelings. It's like forcing people to eat nuts when they are allergic to them.
