Marakey,
I might have written that myself.
I am so glad that Jesus saves us too. I hate the way those that I know treat me. But it's like we have Jesus to thank, and the Pharisee's of today to doubt. They are the ones that don't understand grace, the Grace provided by God. That's the one that counts.

PVD RI,
You make it sound like I have myself to preach. But I don't. So the "you're soo full of Grace" comment you can hold to, but I'm not buying it.
All I'm saying is that the fundy's are taking off with the prize that is just as much yours as it is theirs. We actually have an advantange, that is, if you know that you are not self-righteous like they are.
It's like that.

REDHED4,
It seems like there are a lot of us. Those that are different from the Christian status quo, but confident in our trust in God through Christ. I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome.
I don't want people turning their backs on it for the reason that they think they have to be straight or like fundies. It is about faith in Christ after all.

Moosty,
By the definition that God gives. Because it by His Gift that He gives it freely, for the testimony of His Son. If you bear witness of Jesus, He will confess you to the Father.
Don't wait too long, Moosty. The time is getting short.

cdfrx,
And the message of the Pharisees continues to this day. Haven't you read the scriptures?
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
The faith you have in your works is wasted, because you cannot do them. If you are bound to do the works of the law, you are lying to yourself, because no man can do them. None except my Lord could. Your attempt at convincing anyone that you do the works of the law is a lie.

We are saved though the Grace of God alone- by accepting His Son Jesus Christ we are saved.

Faith without works is empty. If you are not working at the process of being a christian, then you are a sinner picking and choosing what part of gods law you would like to follow. You are correct, god does love us all. But if you are practicing homosexuality then you are going against gods will. Not to mention nature.( Example, put all homosexual men on an island, how long will they last? One generation. Same goes for lesbians. No matter how hard you twist the Word of God to fit your lifestyle you are going against the will of god and thus living in sin. Anyone who is telling you it is ok to be christian and gay or bi is wrong and should be told before it is too late and they burn in hell. I wish you well in finding the truth and salvation in God.

I don't think anyone understands it very well. We should leave it to God to judge how well each of us understands it.
It is important that gay and bi Christians make their existence known to counter the view of fundamentalists that heterosexuals have a monopoly on God and Christianity.
I was a Christian long before I came to terms with being gay. And I don't feel any less a Christian now - in fact, I feel I have grown in grace.

I am gay, I am full of grace, I am a very good person, and I do very kind things for others. I help wherever I can, I give money to those in need. That is enough grace for me...I live grace, I don't play the "holy route to nowhere."

Yes I know what the message of grace is.
and I have made my peace with Jesus Christ who understands me despite my choices and LOVES me with the eternal all-pure love of GOD which no priest or homophobe or frowning church can ever dismember.

I think so. I hope so. :-) I hope God can accept me for who I am, and I think he does. I think I have made peace with him. I don't need people judging me. So, like Mr. Fancy Pants, I say in their face!!
BTW, interesting question. I'm also glad that you're not here to judge. That makes me so...angry!!

Jesus died for our sins. FOR EVERYONE'S SINS. That means that everyone goes to heaven. You don't have to accept Jesus as your savior.
That means Jews, Muslims, Catholics, etc are all going to the same place.

Since the average intelligence of gay is higher than yours, they probably ask their advice.
