Christians only please!?

Question

Im also a Christian but I was wondering what you think about Gay people? I am firmly against being Gay and I think it is totally wrong! I believe that if your homosexual or Gay you have a Sexual addiction problem, its just like a addition to greed, lust or any other addictive sin, you just have to get our self out of it and stop the addiction to that type of sexual pleasure (that Gay people like) The more you sin and deeper you put yourself further into that darkness it hard to get out of but God will help you! What do you think, God says that being Gay is wrong and it should only be women and man together? Tell me your opinion please :)

I really dont hate Gay ppl but I do think it is a sin, I know we all sin! Besides Most of the ppl that answered most of my Q are not Christians! I just wanted some Christian opinions!

Answer 1

I believe it is wrong, the Bible says that God is against it and I think if they prayed and tryed and made an effort God would help them.

Answer 2

Personally I believe that being gay is not a personal choice. Because of this I think that it Gay marriage should be legal. Where does God say that being Gay is wrong? yeah you don't know. But I think it does. Anyway, I've been wondering and debating about a lifestyle being sin full or is it just one sin. I don't know. Also, how is it like greed and lust? If being attracted to a person of the same sex, not physically is lust, then if someone is attracted to the opposite sex that is lust. I don't think it is.

Answer 3

I am a Christian too and I don't believe there is anything such as gay. That is a title for a sexual preference. Sex outside of marriage is sin and that is fact. If you are sexually lustful no matter what you lust after that is sin. Just because it has become popular to expose your personel behavior does not make it right. God is suppose to be the author of your life and not you. God did not author lust the other guy did. If you choose to operate outside of God's will for you, the benifits can be devistating for sure. Just suppose we strart to accept all desires of the flesh and we explain it away by saying it is genetically predestined. Then we would have to accept addiction because science is saying that we are born with that predestination also. The truth is we are born with a sinful nature and outside influences will lead us in one direction or another. It is still our choice if we participate. Anybody can be justifyed in what is called a homosexual lifestyle and or even being a drug addict. Reality is there is no justification for sin and sin simply means, ANYTHING that is not of God.

Answer 4

I think gay ppl are on the other end of the sexual orientation continuum than you. I also think that you have an issue accepting that everyone is not the same as you. Open your mind. The Bible says to love thy neighbor and that only He is the one to judge. God made all, including gay ppl. Many things are recognized as sins in the Bible. We all are sinners. Why you choose to hate one sinner is about you, not the Bible or Christianity. Think about it. Everyone can change the way they perceive the world about them. That's much more realistic than to ask another to live without knowing genuine, fulfilling love because another desires them to live contrary to the way God made them. (Homosexuality is less about the act of sex than about the feelings that go with romantic love.)

PS - I'm Christian.

Answer 5

I used to be afraid of gay people...thinking I'd just catch a disease from being around them. I met a guy at work and he was gay...he is one of the nicest and sweetest people I've ever met...the only thing that bothered me about him was I really didn't want to hear his in detail comments about what he wanted to do to other men. But he's still my friend and I'm not judging him on his choice...I like the person...I dont like his sexual preference...but you know what...it's not hurting me...he did change my mind from thinking that all gays were bad people...most of them are very nice.

It's their choice...however, putting religion aside for a minute...I believe it is wrong because it intereferes what we were put here for. A man and women are the reason we even exist. Two men can not produce another life...nor can two women. Whether or not it goes against religion...anyone with common sense can't say it doesn't go against nature.

However, I am a Christian person and I do believe it goes against God but I am not going to try forcing my views on others because I can't MAKE them agree with me. People believe what they want to. BUT being gay is no different than sex before marriage, picking up prostitutes, cheating on your spouse, etc.

It doesn't accomplish anything to argue about it. People wont agree with me because I'm a Christian...because apparantly being a Christian is wrong. Everything is wrong. Everyone thinks they're right. You can be anything but a Christian. You can marry a dog, cat, whatever but you can't be a Christian.

I dont care if people dont approve of me being Christian...like the saying goes..."I'd Rather live my life as if there's God, and die to find out there isn't, than to live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is."

For the person that say's the Bible doesn't say anything about it...here's where you can find it...

Leviticus 18:22
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."

Genesis 2:24-25 says, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”

Hebrew 13:4 says, “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.”

Hebrews 13:4, where Paul exhorted us to honor the marriage bed and keep it pure. In Romans 1:26-27 Paul is very specific, “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.” In 1 Corinthians 6:9, Paul wrote, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind.”

You get the point. This is always going to be an arguement. However, I will continue to live my life as a Christian and believe what I choose to believe...as they can choose to be gay.

I plan on Him judging me anyhow. Who cares what everyone else thinks?

Answer 6

I to am a Christian but you have to accept people for who they are not but not for what team they go for! They bible does say that Woman was made for Man and Man was made for Woman, that doesn't mean that you have to hate them. It was they're choice to be gay and we just have to live with it. I have many gay friends that were christian before finding out that they were gay. They still believe in GOD even though they aren't what the bible and God supposedly say we should be.

Answer 7

It's popular to say it's genetically deteremined. It was not a choice and gay people "..can't help it, I was born that way". Well, child molestors say the same thing. Ever heard of NAMBLA? They can't help it they were born being attracted to children. It's not a choice. Sure thing.....

I'm catholic. I don't say this because I'm catholic...I wasn't always. I say this because I lived in an area with lots of openly gay men and women. It was more accepted than not, which was completely different than where I'm from originally. To tell the truth I couldn't always tell who as gay and who wasn't. By the way people spoke and acted I thought everyone was gay (coming from D.C and the people I'd considered friends previous to that).

I've had multiple gay bosses. Been to parties where gay people are at. Been to clubs where half the people in there were gay. Been hit on by gay men over and over. Not to mention all the gay people who came into my gay bosses restaraunt. They used to have a meeting every saturday and then come there for lunch/brunch.

From talking to these men and being around them it seemed to me in every one of their situations (from the ones I did get to know) that they had made a choice. They started out with women. Yet they tended to be a more concerned, considerate, caring type of guy. A "nice" guy. Nice guys don't get laid. I suppose eventually they get married and get laid. I don't know, I'm pretty damn nice and my options are either: sex with no real relationship or friendship that doesn't last. I don't believe in pre-marital sex. I want it, but I follow God. So I decided to stop pursuing it a couple years ago. It's rather liberating actually. However 99% of people I meet do *not* share that view. Being that I would always try to obtain real/actual love rather than sex...I rarely ever got either. Thus making me very lonely. It showed. Gay men ever tried to convert me. Never even got close.

Gay people try to say: I'm attracted to the person. It just so happens the person is a man. I totally understand how you can fall in love with another person regardless of sex, race, creed, etc. However, you have to know what love is. I can love my brother in Christ, but there's nothing loveable about gay relations. Marital relations are meant to create life amongst two people who love each other. A man and a man can never have a baby. Thus they can never get married (because that's what marriage is for).

The pieces don't fit. It's clear by design that a penis is made for a vagina and vice versa. We do not need to bring fecal matter into this.

I do not hate homosexuals. I can't say as if I love them. I try to in the universal way that we are supposed to love everyone. I tolerate them. I know some. I'm friendly to them.

Homosexuality is the ultimate egotism.

If you can never have a child, then you are only chasing after what you want. The person you want. The life you want. The materialistic view shared by so many homosexuals.

A homosexual celebrity recently told a story. Her adopted son came up to her and asked: "Most kids have a Mommy and a Daddy. I have a Mommy and a Mommy. Some people say that's wrong?" and she said, "Yeah, I know honey...". Then the kid said, "Well...what if I'm one of them?". Then the mother said, "Well, then you wouldn't have me as a mommy, would you want that?". Which made the kid accept it. It was clear he wanted a father.

The breakdown of the family is the destruction of the world and society as we know it. We need equally strong male and female role models.

Answer 8

Wow...that's so sad...Judge not lest ye be judged/ Let he among us without sin be the first to condom.....actually read the history....the translation is weird...accents are wrong and corrected make it young men cant be with old men...there were pedophiles way back when,and more than likely that's what they were talking about.Religious Scholars say this. Besides who cares? Is it affecting you...no not anyone around you,but you?If not let it go and move on with your life...I have a gay friend thats more christ centered and less judging than alot of ppl I know

Answer 9

We better not cut our sideburns or wear clothes of 2 different weaves (among other things) because these are near the area in Leviticus that preaches against homosexuality. Hint: the Jewish tribes wanted to divinely mandate procreative sex (to make their tribe bigger so it could defend itself) AND to distance themselves from practices of other groups (to make themselves special); this resulted in the Jewish people putting it into the bible and associating it with their god, Yahweh. Hint # 2: the same exact arguments (from judges and others) against homosexuality were used against interracial marriage (just do some research).

Answer 10

I believe Jesus Christ lived in the flesh. I am a Christian, i also am a recovering homosexual, so i want to be sure you understand that children become effected by the issue of homosexuality in many ways. For me it was a very early age, even before I knew the meaning of homosexual. Even before i knew and understood that God Almighty's plan was for me to be a heterosexual. For cases like this, and it is a very high percent that most people chose homosexuality innocently from an outside influence through an act of another or an act of themselves with someone of the same gender.

Often children forget, and parents never had a clue this issues even existed for their child at young ages. So we must be careful when we say people choose it and it is something that is not a forgivable issue. Children often choose out of circumstances. Then it may take years to realize or remember, and some may never remember at all.
I used this to answer what do we do if we know a homosexual and do not like the sin, but want to love the child or person.
It is not the plan of God Almighty for anyone to live as a homosexual acting out sexual acts between the same genders. Yet many people have this affliction, be it they think they was born this way or they have chosen this way of life. Homosexuality is a sin, and all sin is not in the plan of God Almighty. Yes it is a sin to not love your neighbor as you love your self. This is also very high on the list of things that is not in the plan of God Almighty because many people do not practice loving their neighbor as them selves rather they believe they were born this way or they chose to be this way.

We say that it is good to love your neighbor as you love yourself, and if you do not love homosexuality then you would not love the homosexuality in the neighbor. This does not mean you do not love the person, but the act. So the question you may ask then could be "What is it one should do if they have a neighbor that practices homosexuality?"

We should say we do not love the homosexuality, but if you are my neighbor I shall love you, and if I have offended you by telling you this then I am sorry for doing the will of God Almighty, which is not the case. Because I love doing the will of God Almighty and His will is the will i want for me, and you as well.

Now if the person responds by saying," God Almighty loves sinners as well as those that have no sin." You could say , "Yes that is true, and that would mean that you are trying to change in the way all sinners do." They may look at you and suggest that they feel they do not need a change. You could then say," By the blood of Jesus Christ we all shall be changed once we have Him as our Saviour. This will be the way one changes, it may seem that it is a slow process, it may even seem it could never happen, but believe me, a person saved by the grace of God Almighty through the blood of Jesus Christ will be changed. Changed so that person will do the will of God Almighty as they would want to do the will of God Almighty."

Then the person may say," If it is the will of God Almighty for me to be a homosexual doing homosexuality right now, then leave me be." You could then say, " I will leave you be and also pray for you in the name of Jesus Christ that you may be changed soon so that you may be doing the plan of God Almighty according to His plan and not the plan of yours." This person could then become very agitated, but if that person becomes agitated, just say then, " Help me now Lord Jesus Christ for i have offended my neighbor and did not mean to offend them as so."

If this does offend a person, you know to shake the dust of your feet and leave and go there know more, for that person is far from God Almighty and can not be helped by you at this time, and if this does complicate things, or a person can not leave remove the situation any longer then one could ask for help in Jesus Christ name to help the situation and help all concerned and the will of God Almighty be done and no others will be done, and that is the will I want for me." Thank you Jesus Christ for help with all concerned.

Answer 11

I try not to judge others - that job is for Jesus and I don't want it. I do know what the Bible (the Word of the Lord) says and that is - homosexuality is wrong. I didn't make the law and I cannot change the law. I believe that God made men and women different for a reason. They are to marry and become one - united in Christ.
