In otherwords..if god loved the gay man or woman, but hates what unnatural act they do (this is what alot of what you people have said) that would mean that he would abolish the act, not the person in eternal damnation (as some of you people believe) Im not buying the idea that You think god is divided in his hate for things. A person is defined by what acts they commit, for instance. If a serial killer kills children, he is forever a child murderer. Does god still love him? NO, by your standards he will burn forever and you pious people will be up in heaven with all the starving babies in africa who God wanted as angels..so they starved so he could have pretty angels..oh..praise him! What a just god!...ohhhhh yes...praise him!

Let me begin by saying I DO NOT BELIEVE in your Christian God. it isnt real, its a man made machine of hate. I do believe there is a GOD, but not your little dirt pile of nothingness some man dreamed up for you to worship. I believe gay people have freewill to do what they want, I dont believe god hates them, I dont believe in hell. This is aimed at you miserable little whiners who are fundies. You people who arent worth the effort of wiping my feces on....

Wel it seems as though you just wanted to vent your frustrations which I can completly understand. I have studied the Bible as well as many other documents and books on other religions. I found the Christian belief to be so absurd that it is hard to believe people actually buy into it. I suppose they catch them at a very early age when they are still impressionable and easily brain-washed. The "Almighty God" himself spoke a couple chapters in the bible on love. In that chapter God lists a bunch of things on what love is and is not. He says very bluntly that love is not jealous. Pretty straight forward huh? Well in a different chapter when god was telling Moses the ten commandments he said," I AM A JEALOUS GOD". WTF is that about.He also says in another chapter that a women gave birth to twins and before the babies were even delivered he had loved one and hated the other. It then goes on about pre-selecting the ones that go to Heaven, so according to the bible no matter what we do we are only going to Heaven if we were pre-selected to. However, you then think well God is all knowing and preselected everything based on what He knew we going to do. I then ask why the hell are we here? Is our lives just a little movie God created and is now just sitting back watching. If he created everybody in the entire existence of the world and knew what we do before we were actually born and then decided who will go to Heaven and who will burn eternally in an existance without a god then what is the point.

What??? God said it was an abomination to lay down with the same sex. Anyone can be forgiven of that, sometimes people can't change even though they would like to. How does one know it isn't a hormonal disease and noone can be blamed for that, only God knows what's in one's heart, that's all that matterss, worry not what man has to say about such things. What if the killer asks for forgiveness, what then, does that make him any less worth being saved? Starving babies....people need to take responsibility for thier own actions.

you have got it all wrong AGAIN. Hmmmmm.
he hates the act, not the person, and if he did away with the act then he would be doing away with your right to choose, and yes you do have that right because he could make you believe but he does not want mindless zombies. he want people that worship him wholly and willingly regardless. if a man murders a child and then asks for forgiveness and is sincere then YES he is forgiven, I have never heard any sort of Christian say that you can not be forgiven for certain things. only time that happens is when you are dead and then there is no more chances.

To answer ur question if it is the act or the person that goes to hell? Well the person that commits the act goes to hell if the do not change from their way. One thing you also have to remember no sin is greater than the other.. one may be a homosexual or a murderer but if one continues to lie without repenting they will have their place in the lake of fire. Consider you may have a friend that sleeps around, mooches money from you, or is lazy.... you don't hate them... you dislike their behavior

In the old Testament God states homosexuality is a sin, which I am sure you know. He hates the "act" not the person. But, through sincere repentance, prayer, and daily scripture reading, along with fasting about the homosexual act, he will forgive a person because he see's their heart, if they are truthful and making an attempt to change to please him.
He will not force a person to do something they are not willing to do, he only gives us laws to obide by with his help. We are not perfect, we all have weaknesses and sin everyday, including Christians. We all have to obey his laws, by choice and of our own free will. We do not have to obey his commandments, or read the scriptures if we choose not to, it is a personal decision one has to make with the Lord.
There are other sins as well, lust, murder, stealing, lying, adultrey, pride, coveting, envy, jealousy, ect.. we all struggle with these things on a daily basis, but by serving the Lord we learn how to deal with everyday situations in a more mature fashion.
He doesn't expect a person to change his or her ways over night, that wouldn't work, it is a process that we all have to work on until it is no longer a temptation to us. God forgives all who repents from their hearts, even murderer's! Everyone has broken a commandment! But when you repent in Jesus name, God forgives you and forgets your actions, like it says in the scriptures, he remembers it no more!
I hope I helped you with your questions.

Forgive them for they know not what they do........Remember that?? We are all forgiven and loved and accepted but first we need to come back many times to learn whatever lessons we didn't learn in our last lives.....Serial killers are probably only on their first lives and people like the Dalai Lama are on their 1000th life....We live many times....We learn...and eventualy we go to heaven. God is love. People are learning........And to Quote from scriptures or other peoples words is what everyone does.....including you occasionaly im sure.....It's just saying what you want to say in a nut shell ...it makes no difference if its from the bible or from a book Billy Crystal wrote...It just helps to make a point if you quote something someone else said that you agree with....Know what I mean?....And...Not all people who believe in 'God' are christians or Catholics or anything else.....I use the word 'God' to explain the unexplainable.....and when I talk about what I personaly believe love is...........So there!!

One goes to hell because they deny Jesus. The Christians dont hate they gays. If a gay person accepts Jesus then they no longer want to be disobedient to God or do the things that He finds an abomination. God doesnt like it when we lie or steal or commit adultrey either. If you accept Jesus as your Savior then youre not going to live your life upon sin anymore but in Jesus. If you live in sin then Gods not your priority, your sin is. We have to repent. (ask God for forgiveness and change your ways so you dont go back to your sinful nature). Jesus forgave people and said "Go and sin no more"....in other words....quit it!

first off someone who is a GOD fearing person would believe those standards because thats what THE WORD says. For the hate part god hates knowone and people choose their destiny not GOD so for a gay person to be gay that is their choice but no they will not make it up there Humans are supposed to mate only for childern not for pleasure and it is obvisous thats all gay people make love for because they can not produce childern!

as a man of god i just wanted to let you know that i don't by into the dogma that most Christians spit out.
the Bible states that we are not to judge as that is not our job as Christians. we are to educate and to forgive.
the difference is that most forget that.
as far as what you said about the starving people in other countries it is morally humanities responsibility to care and protect and in that we as a human race have failed.
I will not judge you, I will not ridicule you, i think you have a belief and a moral since of what is right and are not afraid to speak it.
AND FOR THAT I APPLAUD YOU.
as for those judging you SHAME ON YOU.
