Like Jesus Christ, I deliberately spend time with sinners  with the loving goal to try to help them. Mark 2:16-17 reads, &ldquo;16When  the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the  &quot;sinners&quot; and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: &quot;Why does he eat  with tax collectors and &#8216;sinners&#8217;?&quot; 17On hearing this, Jesus said to  them, &quot;It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not  come to call the righteous, but sinners.&quot; In fact, in a dialogue with  hypocritical religious leaders, Jesus even stated to them, &quot;I tell you  the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the  kingdom of God ahead of you. 32For John came to you to show you the way  of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors  and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent  and believe him. &quot; (Matthew 21:31). <\/div>\n<p>  <\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\"> Like John the Baptist and  Jesus, I have a loving Christian ministry to homosexuals and prostitutes  in which I share the Good News of Jesus Christ with them (see I  Corinthians 6:8-11). Contrary to false gossip, innuendo, and slander  about me, I do not in any way &ldquo;hate&rdquo; homosexuals, but I seek to lovingly  share two types of messages to them, as I did with the young man called  &ldquo;Lucien&rdquo; in the news story: [1] It is possible to cease homosexual  practices to avoid the unacceptable health risks associated with that  behavior, and [2] the most important decision one can make is to  establish a relationship with God for all eternity by trusting in Jesus  Christ&rsquo;s sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of your sins,  including homosexual sins. If you talk with my travel assistant that the  story called &ldquo;Lucien,&rdquo; you will find I spent a great deal of time  sharing scientific information on the desirability of abandoning  homosexual intercourse, and I shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him  in great detail. <\/div>\n<\/ul>\n<div>That explains it [<a href=\"http:\/\/1boringoldman.com\/wp-admin\/..\/index.php\/2010\/05\/04\/who-am-i-lord\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Who Am I?
