This what god said about homosexuality:
1 Corinthians 6:8-10 (King James Version)
8Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9Know 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,
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
What do you think about that?
Will you be willing to walk away from this world system and kneel humbly before him in prayer?

Dude, I really strongly believe that YOU (and perhaps only you) honestly believe what you are preaching here.
This is MY PERSONAL TAKE on life.
AS a gay man, I've learned to live life to the fullest. I work, I come home, I clean my house, and I even do my own dishes. I have a partner, whom I love so dearly, and we both play safe. I'm extremely happy being me, and I figure why not, I work hard, play safe, and am a good person.
NOW (here's where it gets juicy)
In my experiences and down the many roads in life that I have travelled, I've learned that many STRAIGHT people have more serious problems sexually than those homosexuals you so tragically fear and hate.
This world has seen many 'rapists' (very normal because they are straight huh - do you figure?) - teachers going after young students and contiually defying the law (this is a goody - a favorite for your argument about gay vs straight - again I ask, pretty normal huh?) Our televisions promote sexual deviances through prostitution, rape, child molestation and of course adultery (your god must be having a field day watching these programs from that great big tv in the sky - again now, ask yourself - this is pretty normal isn't it?)
The 'almighty' Dude in the Sky has the power to wipe all of this out and clean up this place we call earth, but no, it never seems to happen. Doesn't sound like your God is that powerful anymore.
I just think you need something to believe in and it's okay that you choose a church and a god that goes with it, however, I've learned that you can't always trust a church for what YOU want to believe. I've been taken advantage by many who 'do it in the name of their god'. Good Christ - if I only had a dollar for everytime some christian came upto me and said that .. I would put the 'lotto companies' out of business.
This conversation seemingly no longer focusses on the HOMOSEXUAL issue, but on YOUR GOD issues. Dude, take some much needed advice. Let go of the comparing issues .. god vs homosexuality, you're definitely beyond that now. try to take life simple. Enjoy it for what it's worth. Don't get caught up in any type of hype. You have so much to live for, without the worry about whose sleeping in whose bed.
In a nutshell, it's like this:
We ALL have 10 fingers, 10 toes, a brain and a heart. What differs is our choice of whom we 'sleep with' or 'have sex with'. And clearly, is this not anyone else's business but our own?
BE PROUD - BE THE BEST YOU ARE

a million) Sin does not exist, in my opinion. yet i'm now no longer Christian. 2) Sexuality is a significant part of who a guy or woman is. Being religious or nonreligious is a call that adjustments periodically for the size of existence. I placed sexuality above concept using fact one has an prolonged much extra impact on existence than the alternative, and one is extra common than the alternative. So, the statements that sacred texts make on sexuality have little to no meaning to me. 3) it particularly is my thought that maximum homosexuals are born gay. As i'm agnostic, i've got an exceedingly special definition of what God is that if God exists. So, if God exists, then God made each and every person the suitable way they are. If God does now no longer exist, then i assume scientists will to discover that sexuality is under pressure out into our genes. My own and unscientific information is that each and every gay i understand has on the least another relative who's gay. 4) regularly, homosexuality is a call. I do understand of a million lady who chosen to be a lesbian for a on the comparable time, then she chosen to be rapidly. i assume she became dealing with potential of somewhat in existence, and he or she did it out of interest and the could get concentration from somebody. those human beings are possibly poseurs. 5) the incentive of being gay isn't having to deal with getting pregnant! gay human beings actually have a community that embraces them with open arms, and that they are gaining further and further protection from the government. (All stunning concerns in my opinion.)

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. If you believe all the things you just wrote, then don't be gay. But you have no right to try and force others to believe what you believe. Not everyone agrees with you... as a matter of fact, if we're speaking globally, MOST people do not agree with you.
You also have no right to use your religion as a weapon to make others feel guilty for why they are, for living the lifestyle that they believe they were created to live.
Shame on you.

Not as long as He says it's OK to slaughter pregnant women and children in His name.
Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT)

maybe you should ask yourself the same question and quit worrying about what the rest of us are doing. God also said that no one sin is any worse than any other for it is all equally sin. So you sitting there judging me...stereotyping me...before you even know anything about me means you are just as likely to walk in the kingdom of God as any homosexual....
have a nice day

i think is natural the only reason the writters of the bible chose to protray it as an evil is simply population. The lack of medical knoweledge at the time meant they needed as may breeders as possible to propagate the race.
Also there are variety of monkeys that have bi sexual tendencies and god created these monkeys!!! so whats going on with that?

If you had lived during the time that the bible was written, you would know that where it says "a man shall not lay with another man" it referred to people who were raping their slaves. if you continued to read the bible closely, you would know that there are biblical characters in same-sex relationships... romantic friendships, at the very least.
as far as the world system or whatever you want to call it... that's created by humans, and i proudly walk away from it everyday.

jesus said nothing about homosexuality
The bible was written by human beingas in an age of ignorance.
The roman emperor Constantine had the bible re-written to suit his political stance
Translations into other languages invariably change meanings
Instead of just reading and quoting the bible why don't you do some proper unbiased bible research? If you have 1/2 a brain your views will change.

Brother, I will go off the supposition that your heart's in the right place as far as meaning good towards people & not just offense, so please, pray about whether you're accomplishing God's will with this form of attack. For it's not loving or purposeful, it's only perpetuating hatred on both sides, which defeats us all. I praise Christ, but He doesn't tell me to condemn those around me, but to love them without changing my values. Love, don't hate. You sound prideful in your question. Please kneel humbly b4 Him & seek His will in guiding your future questions.

What do I think about that? I don't see anything that singles out gays/lesbians. I do see a bunch of things that 99.9% of ALL human kind is guilty of so I reckon we're ALL gonna not inherit the kingdom of God....INCLUDING YOU!!!! There is something on that list that I'd stake my life on that you're guilty of. So therefore....YOU WON'T INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD EITHER.....
