Do you think I have a valid point? Why do christians primarily focus their attention on the homosexual lifestyle, instead of their own sinning lifestyles?

I'm a Christian and a lesbian. However generalizing your question may be, I do understand your point. Unfortunately, I do not think that this will get them thinking about being homophobic. That can only come from inside themselves, and I, for one, am not going to waste my time holding my breath for them to change. Many of these people whom I have met have a genuine need to be "better" and "holier" than others. They confirm this inside themselves by judging others and not actually PRACTICING the love, tolerance, charity, liberty, and justice that Jesus was all about. Also, I think it of the utmost import to notice that Jesus himself said NOTHING about homosexuality. Not one word.

Real Christan, don't focus in any one life's!
I am Christian, and in the Bible, homosexuality is not aloud.
But, I am no one to judge nobody, I can't judge people because they behave of have a different point of view that I have.
Some religions judge homosexuality, but the only one who can judge is God. And God don't hate the homosexual, he doesn't like the sin!
So, I only can tell you this.
Every one is the owner of their life, they can do with it as they wish too...
I am a Christian and I can't judge no one, because even Jesus say that the only one who judge is God.
And I am not perfect either.

you forget that being homophibic implies "not thinking". it has nothing to do with rationality.
when they are being faced with it, they sinply say thngs as "its the sin that is evil", but they have no problem making personal insults.
but your point of view is very useful for the ones who are not much into the subject and are overfloded with preconceptions.
dont waste ur time with who doesnt deserve it. it is them that have to evolve by themselves.

I doubt it. Sorry, "they" always find a way to point fingers and ignore all the fingers pointing back at them. That's why I find the homophobic ones so hypocritical.

What makes Christians homophobic?? Because they do not support the lifestyle??

Unfortunately no. They're so obsessed with gay sex that they can't keep their minds off of the other problems in the world

Jesus said,"I have come not to call the
righteous, but the sinner to repentance".
Did you know...
God loves us so much He sent His Son Jesus
to this earth to pay for our sins so that
whoever puts their trust in Him will not
perish but have eternal life...?.. (Jn. 3:16)
Did you know we can be clean & free from
the burden of guilt & condemnation of sin?
Christ has called us to Himself so we
can repent of sin & be freely forgiven, and
be cleansed of all unrighteousness .
The Bible says, "If we confess our sins
He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness".
Are you still living in sin? The Bible says:
The Lord is compassionate toward us
and very patient, not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come
to repentance. (2Peter 3:9)
Did you once know Christ and turn away?
The Bible says, the Son of God has come to
seek and save that which is lost. (Lu.19:10)
Jesus is the lover of your soul...
Will you return to him now and receive his
mercy and grace. He wants to set you free
from guilt & sin and give you perfect peace .
Pray this prayer:
Heavenly Father; I admit I am a sinner; I have
gone astray. I return to you now. Please have
mercy on me, forgive me my sins and wash me
clean. I believe Jesus died for me, so I can be
set free. Restore peace to me and give me the
free gift eternal life; I ask in the name of Jesus
Christ. Amen.

Dude, there's a difference between HOMOPHOBIA and christian views. Do you even know what homophobia is? It has nothing to do with christian standards.
