Is "homosexual Christian" a contradiction in terms?

Question

Shouldn't a homosexual repent and turn from his sin.

Answer 1

yes and yes

you cannot hold on to your sin and and Christ. You cannot serve God and mammon (other gods). which is anything that takes priority over God. All need to turn from sin that's repent = 180 degree turn.
1Cor 6:9-11Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor *homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Answer 2

God loves everyone because He is love. It is true that in God's word homosexuality is condemned, even though God loves the person. When a homosexual becmes a christian, he must truly from his heart repent and ask God for deliverence. Some times it is a process over time, but that person can be delivered. Just as any sin, we all must turn from sin, repent, and ask God for the power to overcome.

Answer 3

I don't think so. Homosexual Mormon, yes. Homosexual Muslim, yes. But christian is such a vague term these days. Its like, I'm not anything else but I'm not atheist so I'm a christian. I mean I think that gay people pray and believe in Jesus just like tons of others. But I think that they question the teachings in their case. Its like as if the bible is saying they can't be who they are if they want to be part of the religion. To a gay person, they are that way, not by choice. So using that logic, if the bible said you can't be a christian if your black, black Christians would question those teachings as well. Its like you can't change who you are physiologically so why would the bible, god, and Jesus(all loving and comforting) deny you? Besides, all those priests that felt up young boys were devout to their faith.

Answer 4

Yes. This is a contradiction in terms, the words homosexual Christians, for they are not gay but unsaved and thereby not Christian.

Answer 5

the clarifying point is "a practicing homosexual" kind of like an alcoholic or drug addict. If you stop doing the wrong and start living right then yes, they can be considered Christian. As long as they are doing unholy things they are not Christian, they are hypocrites.

Answer 6

A homosexual (lesbian) can be a Christian as long as they surrender their lives to Christ and follow HIS teachings.
BUT
A homosexual can not be a Christian if they choose to continue in sinful actions.

Answer 7

No, homosexual is about who they choose to lay with while Christian is their chosen path to God. Do you know any Christians that don't sin?

Answer 8

Yes just like a Christian/adulterer Christian/fornicator Christian/thief

Answer 9

Is "interest paying or receiving Christian" a contradiction in terms?

The bible condemns usury (interest on money) far more than sexual activities of any kind.

When are Christians going to repent and turn away from their evil, wicked ways of paying or receiving interest on money?

Usurers are following Satan, hate God and are all going to hell according to the bible.

Answer 10

I don't know. I would think that homosexuals would not want to be homosexuals if they were a Christian.

But all Christians struggle with sin.
