How can a christian be at peace when he has to work with people who commit fornication and homosexuals?

These two sins bother me a lot and especially when people talk about having sex out of wedlock. Fortunately, homosexuals usually are quiet at work but all this stuff is bothering me. How can I be at peace?How can a christian be at peace when he has to work with people who commit fornication and homosexuals?
How can you be at peace when you're so busy judging others?





Jesus said absolutely nothing about people who have sex out of wedlock. He also had no comment about homosexuals.





Our concept of what constitutes wedlock is a modern legal definition. Another matter about which Christ had nothing to say beyond the admonition to respect the law.





So, what is your problem? As long as neither the homosexuals nor the ';fornicators'; involve you in any way, you shouldn't take offense. You also should not be offensive by judging them, because your sin keeps you just as far from God as the sins committed by others.





Indeed, there will be many ';righteous'; people found in Hell.





And that is something that Christ DID comment on!How can a christian be at peace when he has to work with people who commit fornication and homosexuals?
Death has been known to be peaceful. Give it a go.
Jesus Christ.











Get a grip or get a new job.
jump off a bridge. you will be at peace.
Quit judging.
I agree. Death may be your only out on this one.
LMAO ';Fortunately, homosexuals usually are quiet at work '; Hahahaha!!!
are you for real?


why does it bother you?


i'm sure they aren't inviting you to sleep with them.
You can attain peace by shedding yourself of your bronze-age superstitions.
Your letting it bother you.


I am considered a Christian, and I am at peace with everyone, although I may not agree with some of the stuff I do not let it bother me and let people live there lives, I try to Act Justly, Love Mercy and Walk Humbly.
This is 2009 going in to 2910. We have laws ';sexual harassment'; that you can go to your supervisor/foreman, owner of the company and complain. Complaining to us is not going to take you anywhere.
Disembowel yourself
Forget Christianity, you need to work on being human!
Unfortunately, not everyone shares your same view. However, there is nothing we can do about the life styles that are around us. Even though we live in the world, Jesus said we must be no part of the world as he is no part of the world. Don't share in or listen to conversations that you don't approve of. Politely excuse yourself when things turn to things you don't view as approopriate. You can't get away from it completely, but set the example and people may follow. Especially if they see you don't participate in it or that you walk away when it goes that direction.
Take comfort knowing that anyone who coddles spirits of judgement and self-righteousness are very uncomfortable in the places where God has placed them. They are, in fact, impotent servants.
How good is the job? People having sex out of wedlock? Cmon, that's like half the population. Unless you live in a cave, you wont get away from it. Homosexuals? Well they are quiet so your lucky. How much worse would it be if they were talking about sucking cock or something? I personally wouldn't want to see guys getting it on (hot girls might be okay), but if they keep to themselves, than you thinking or fantasizing about it makes you sound obsessed!
Peace comes from God, Not from this world......we can have perfect peace through Christ....when we are in complete submission to Him and abide in His Word.......what happens around us cant touch our soul or spirit.....we decide what we allow in and what we do not......when others are talking inappropriate all one needs to do is starting singing hymns or giving God praise and be more open and boldly explain you don't appreciate such speech and either they will get quiet and or move on about their business or will get the message very plainly.......and learn not to speak of such things around you.


It doesn't take long for people to understand your stance and watch their language and subject matter when you are around .
Pro 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.





Phi 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.


Phi 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.


Phi 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.


Phi 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.


Phi 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Is it me, or does this loon sound like the type that would go on a shooting spree?
Stand out in the sun.





That's a guaranteed cure for being a troll.
If they can stand working with somebody who's self-righteous and judgmental, surely you can stand working with people who don't believe all the same things you believe.





Anyhow, you'll need to get used to it. No matter who you are or what beliefs you hold, it will always be true that most people in the world are different from you. If you insist that you'll never be happy until everyone meets your standards, you'll never be happy, period.
I had sex out of wedlock oh wait that bothers you now grow up kid.
When you're at work, you're an employee doing a job not an individual with opinions.





But you are entitled to make free choices. If your profession conflicts with your private morals, so much so that you're troubled by it, it will eventually interfere with your work performance in which case, not only your work but you, will suffer as a result.





Make a decision, people do it every day......
Remember that you are in the world, but not of the world. You need to expect that the pagans will act like pagans. It is not your job to change them, or judge them. Remember, without the Lord, people will continue to live in sin. You need to love them, and let your light shine. Be accepting of them as people, be kind to them, pray for them. That doesn't mean you approve of their behavior; but you must remember that Jesus paid for all the sins of the world. These sins have already been forgiven. They only need to repent of not believing Jesus is Lord. It is this sin, and this sin alone that will condemn them. After folks get saved, it is the Lord's job to clean up the sinful habits.


You can be at peace by remembering that without God, they are unable to live any differently. You can't be angry with a dog for acting like a dog. Neither should you be angry or upset with non-believers when they act like pagans. They are only doing what comes naturally.


It is your job to act like Christ. We never read where Jesus condemned anyone for sexual immorality; quite the contrary- the woman caught in adultery, He forgave. We are not condemned to hell for these sins. This is something all Christians need to remember. We are only condemned for unbelief in Christ.


If you find yourself disgusted with these folks, just remember, God gets just as disgusted with other sins- the ones that us 'perfect' saints commit- like jealousy, gossip, backbiting, slander, unforgiveness, lying, greed, putting money and family before God, etc. We all sin; it's just that our sins are more socially 'acceptable'. Learn to love these folks. You'll win them much faster with kindness than you will with disgust and judgment.
It sounds like you are spending a lot of time at work judging others. Is that what you get paid to do?





Torg
You can be at peace by knowing that you're abiding by your own morals to the best of your ability and that nobody is stopping you from doing so. I'm sure these people have their own set of morals, even though you obviously have different ones. If it really makes you uncomfortable, then perhaps you should move somewhere where there's a higher concentration of conservative, religious people, or change your environment so that you aren't around those kinds of people on a daily basis. However, I think it's better to learn to love the people you fear. They're really doing no harm to you. Nobody's forcing you to have sex outside marriage or to be gay. You probably can't change their habits, either. Just be yourself, follow your own beliefs and morals, and I'm sure you'll be okay.
Based on your statements, I think a way to be at peace with yourself is to encourage young adults and teenagers to respect themselves and respect the marriage institution. Don't show disdain and disgust, that's not your job to save souls.





Be at peace with yourself. You do the right thing, make the right decision and practice good moral behavior. If you feel that God is happy with your conduct, then be happy. Be at peace.





It's not your job to be the moral police.
They are God's children as much as you are. When you dont show them love and respect you dishonor God. Dont presume you know everything about them.





Matt 25: 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Jesus loves them even if they bother you.


He wants us to love the sinner but hate the sin.


Jesus died for them as He died for you.


You need to be more understanding and praying for them to find the truth of Jesus.





We are not called to judge them but to love them, and realize that once our sins were as scarlet and the Lord made them white as wool when we came to Him and believed on His son Jesus who died for our sins.
Judgment belongs to God.





Jesus said, forgive them, they know not what they do.
They should study this,





Story of Prophet Lut/Lot (pbuh)





Prophet Abraham (PBUH) left Egypt accompanied by his nephew Lut (PBUH), who then went to the city of Sodom (Sadum), which was on the western shore of the Dead Sea.





This city was filled with evil. Its residents waylaid, robbed and killed travelers. Another common evil among them was that men had sex with men instead of with women. This unnatural act later became known as sodomy (after the city of Sodom). It was practiced openly and unashamedly.





It was at the height of these crimes and sins that Allah revealed to Prophet Lut (PBUH) that he should summon the people to give up their indecent behavior, but they were so deeply sunk in their immoral habits that they were deaf to Lot's preaching. Swamped in their unnatural desires, they refused to listen, even when Lot warned them of Allah's punishment. Instead, they threatened to drive him out of the city if he kept on preaching.





Allah the Almighty revealed: The people of Lot (those dwelt in the towns of Sodom in Palestine) belied the Messengers when their brother Lot said to them: ';Will you not fear Allah and obey Him? Verily! I am a trustworthy Messenger to you. SO fear Allah, keep your duty to Him, and obey me. No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism) my reward is only from the Lord of the Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists). Go you in unto the males of the Alamin (mankind), and leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your wives? Nay, you are a trespassing people!';





They said: ';If you cease not, O Lot! Verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!';





HE said: ';I am indeed, of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your (this evil) action (of sodomy). My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do.';





SO We saved him and his family, all except an old woman (this wife) among those who remained behind. (Ch 26:160-171
