I'm Christian, and I try to worship God in all things. One thing that I clash with a lot of my Christian friends over is that I have gay and bi friends. They say I'm wrong for being friends with people who are blatantly disobeying God's commandments, but I don't think it's wrong, because God calls us to love all people, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or sexual preferences.
I don't believe that being gay (or bi) is right, but I also don't judge people if they are, because I believe that it is something that is between that person and God. My view is that, regardless of how wrong a person may be, God didn't put us here to judge, but to love.
How else can we reach out to them, and bring them to Christ, if we won't associate with them because they're 'messed up' or 'lost'? It's not like Christians are perfect either, so like Jesus said, in John 8:7, '...Let he who is without sin among you, cast the first stone...'
Am I wrong for believing this? Am I wrong for having gay friends?
