I rarely comment or post, however something about your comment made me rather confused. How is praying for your mother's salvation not judging her for her lifestyle? Praying for her salvation implies that you believe that her soul is damned, you believe that her soul is damned because she is homosexual, is this not judging her for her life? If it's not your place to judge then you shouldn't assume she needs salvation. If she is a moral person her soul will be saved. I'm not very religious, but I believe that a person's soul is not damned over something that he or she cannot control. The astral destination of the soul depends on the life lived. A person who lived for others, was moral, and rarely did wrong will be rewarded; Somebody that lived a horrible or moderate life and then apologizes shouldn't be saved because "Hey, at least I wasn't a fag"

I don't pray for her salvation because she is gay or because she is a sinner. We are all sinners. I pray because she does not know God. I did not, however, say that I pray for her salvation because she is gay. Sin is sin. There is no level of severity. One sin is not worse than the other, although most, even myself would believe different. Like I said, it is not my place to put judgment on anyone for anything. At least, I try not to. I too, am even guilty of being judgmental at times. It is my my job however, to tell as many people as i can about the Love of Christ and to serve and love on people. Not to judge or condemn.

I can accept that a little more easily. Since you had started with "My mom is gay" when you said that you pray for her salvation I had connected the two, honest mistake in the interpretation of your comment, I apologize. I realize that we are all sinners, as we are all human. I personally do not like the idea that all sins are weighted equally. I also feel that it is a little unfair for a soul to be judged on what they believed, not how they acted. It also strikes me as odd that the soul is judged based on bad deeds and that good deeds have very little bearing in the judgement. I admit that my knowledge of Christianity is very limited, and I apologize if any of my remarks are untrue, but it is what I have heard from other Christians. As I said: I am not a very (spiritually) religious person, however I like to believe that we should all live our lives for good as best we can. Religion is a good motivator for this, but sometimes people get carried away with it which is why I can't get into it.
