Christians are required to discriminate

Alan Todd
Scripture is clear: Christians must discriminate if they are to find favor with God.

This immediately came to mind: II Corinthians 6:14 -17. "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? ...

"Therefore, come out from among them and be separate says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you. ... I will be a Father to you, And you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

MONTINI:Does God want you to discriminate against gay couples?

It sounds pretty clear to me that Christians should discriminate if they want God's blessing. I know that we'll be hated for it, but it's certainly worth it in the long run.
