"Aineo"
In view of the fact that I am not an American and am not familiar with many of the abreviations that you have used would you care to explain them please? Again I am not familiar with Anita Bryant?!
"Now, the historical Jesus is not pictured as God in the flesh. The media has tried to picture Christ as a fluke, His resurrection as myth, and the empty tomb as a plot by His disciples."
Actually, He is, since the historical and the biblical Jesus are one and the same. (If this is not the case then Christianity is a false religion and as Paul said "we are to be pitied above all men" (1Cor.15:12-28). This is totally different from the "de-mythologized Jesus" who is an idolic construct of the vain imaginings of liberal theology.
"The Biblical Jesus is the Messiah who died for the remission of sins, gave us the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, and opened heavens gates to the gentile nations. The Holy Spirit is the one who convicts, not man, and certainly not Hollywood's attempts to humanize Christ and turn Christianity into a child's daydream."
Fine! But did it really objectively happen in time-and space history (like every other event in history) or was it actually nothing more than subjective "religious truth" which has as much validity in objective reality as Father Christmas, leprachauns, and the tooth fairy?! If it did then all that scripture declares happened to the man Jesus of Nazareth actually physically took place in objective time and space history (Indeed, this is what separates the Christian Christ from the parodies which supposedly happened to the Hindu gods (but as we all know this, like the Hindu gods themselves, is as true as leprachauns and the tooth fairy!))
"And just how are you a man going to convince any person who is really dealing with homosexuality on a personal level going to convince them the Bible calls their lifestyle sin? You won't! The Holy Spirit will! We sow the truth of the gospel, we water what we sow with love and encouragement, however God brings the increase. Attacking the lifestyle is attacking the person in the mind of gay men and lesbian women. Introduce sinners to the Sin Bearer and let the Holy Spirit do His job which is to convict and convert."
I believe that it is often a combination of the two, man declaring the truth externally while the Holy Spirit re-enforces this by conviction internally, though we are commanded to live, and in so doing make known, the gospel, in love, not with self-righteous bigotry.
Every blessing in your endeavours to comunicate the gospel to those who are struggling with homosexuality.
