Honestly, I don't think god (or whatever the big guy or gal is called) would create anything bad. Including gay men or women.
I think as long as you treat others the way you would like to be treated... Then it's all good!
And if there is something in the bible that says it is wrong, remember god did not write the bible... man did.
Love is all around you.

I will answer this and hope that you are serious on this. I say this , because of all of the posts done that aren't. Okay?
First of all, For your ownself I really do suggest to get a good study Bible to read that will help find topics quick and help in understand verses.
As far as homosexuality, the Lord God does call it a sin. In fact He calls it an abomination. Will you go to Hell? All who have sinned and haven't accepted Jesus Christ will be condemed to eternal removal from God's light and love. Jesus said that it is a place of much weeping and gnashing of teeth. Don't rely on what others tell you , go read and find out for yourself. You might find it enlightening to your heart. The rest is up to you. God gave you free will. God gave us proof many times over. The last time He did, many didn't believe and crucified Him when He came here. How often does God have to prove to people His greatness and love. He gave us Jesus. What more could He give in a righteous manner? Nothing. He gave us His best. His Son. It doesn't get better than that.

You don't go to hell for being a homosexual. You go to hell for not believing in Jesus Christ and that He died for your sins, on a cross. And was resurrected on the third day, then assended into heaven. You must also repent of your sins. Homosexuality is a sin, but Jesus died for all of our sins. 1 Corinthians 6:9; Jude 7; 1 Thes 4:3; Leviticus 20:13; Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:26 & 27. I've shown you quite a few verses. Thousands of gay people become Christian and turn from their sin. Are your parents Jewish?

My dear friend. Don't listen to these people that tell you it's all right. The Bible tells you. Romans Chapter 1,verses 24 to 32. 1st. Corinthians Chapter 6,verses 9 and 10. The word effeminate mentioned here means "used like a woman" 1st Timothy,Chapter 1,verses 9 and 10. There are more,but this tells you that it's an abomination to God. If you want more,write me. It took me only 10 minutes to look these up in the Bible. Don't leave your eternal life by listening to people who say otherwise.

Your question doesn't make any sense. If you are an agnostic then why would you be concerned about hell? You shouldn't believe in hell if you are an agnostic. On the other hand, if you do, and you do believe in the bible, yes you will go to hell. The bible clearly states that homosexuality is punishable by death, and many were killed by his hands in the ancient times. Some stoned, burned, etc. So I suggest you realize that the bible is a load of crap, being that you are agnostic you should already know this. So it really doesn't matter what the bible says, it isn't true.

We are all going to hell, since we all sin in one form or another. But hell is not a place of eternal torment. To illustrate:
As a parent, what would you do to punish a stubbornly wayward child. Would you place their hand on a hot element, even for a second? No. Anyone who did deserves to have social services called on them. God doesn't do this either. It makes no sense that he would torment someone eternally (which is a loooong time) for the sins of 70 or 80 years. Death is simply a state of non-existence. To use our parenting illustration, call it a permanent "time-out".
The Bible is very clear on homosexuality, however:
Romans 1:26, 27 says: "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."
Leviticus 18:22 says: "You must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing."

I am sorry to hear you are having such a hard time with this. I do not know the Jewish answer for this, so I'll have to give you the Christian one.
Homosexuality is considered a sinful act. God does not hate you, but he does hate the sin in your life, just as he hates the sin in my life. The thing is, even though I know I am a sinner, I do not have to fear Hell or death, because I have faith in Christ as savior.
Now, you asked for verses, so please allow me to provide one that sums it up:
1Corinthians 6:9-11
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God ? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals , nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the Kingdom of God. AND SUCH WERE MANY OF YOU; but you have been washed, sanctified and justified in the name of Jesus and by the Holy Spirit.
Thus, while homosexuality is a burden you must bear, and it sounds like you are bearing a burden, there is relief. You see, just as I have been forgiven of my sins, so you can be forgiven for yours. I hope it puts your heart to rest and if you continue to have trouble, feel free to reach out to those around you for support.

Being Homosexual is just like being a girl or a woman and it is not a sin because you did not choose to be one ( and I know there are those who are able to hide it in the closet). And if you like to be a woman all the way, find what ways does a woman do to avoid going to hell. Like man or woman you only sin from the course of actions you do that is not right in the eyes of the law of God. For things that you choose to do against the written law.
For all you know and for what we may not know, Gays are there as a test for one soul's strength to choose what is the right thing to do in the midst of odds given by nature.

No one earth can judge you, for judging will be done by Jesus. The Bible states in Matthew 7:21, "Not all those who say I am their Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven. The only people who will enter the kingdom of heaven are those who do what my Father in heaven wants." Jesus directs us to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord. He asks us to share the Word of the Lord. This will give you eternal life in God's kingdom. The Old Testament law refers to homosexuality as a "hateful sin" (Leviticus 18:22).

Here is what the Bible says about homosexuality.
In Genesis 19:1-29 the cities of Sodom and Gommorah were destroyed because the people were so wicked. The men of the city wanted to have sex with other men. So God's judgement on the city was to destroy it by raining down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah.
Leviticus 18:22 (speaking to men in Israel) "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."
Leviticus 20:13 "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
Romans 1:26-27 "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."
1 Corinthians 6:9 "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders...will inhereit the kingdom of God."
1 Corinthians 6:13 "The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body."
1 Timothy 1:8-10 "We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers.
