I noticed that when I explained how much I loved everyone that I didn't get much of a response. Why is it that I have never called anyone a name and people respond by calling me one? Why is it that I have never used vulgar language once and people respond with vulgarity. Why do I say I love them and they respond with hate? Nothing I say has anything to do with my feelings on the matter it is all in the Bible it would be downright blasphemous for me to claim something just because of a personal opinion.I would love nothing more than to just sit by and tell my best friend oh your fine do what you want. But that would not be love that is called being an enabler. The Bible says homosexuality is wrong so I do to. For those who did not hear the first time. Because I got responses as such. I believe that We should not make a God to suit ourselves. Love is sacrifice you see that is the point He was the sacrifice. And whether or not You believe God exists he believes you exist...

For those who read my post about me being "in love" with my gay best friend That was posted in June. I have found the answers that I need and also he since that time has been talking more and more about living the straight lifestyle and asking his Saviour to forgive. You see if he were not saved Having those feelings for him would be a waste of time. But he does the Lord as his Savious. So for that reason alone the Lord will draw him back to Him. I love my friend more like a mother now. Back in June I'll admit I was pretty confused but then I pray ed to God and now i am no longer confused. I refuse to date him until he has gotten his life together. And he is aware of that. He has now broken up with his boyfriend so he is on his way. He has hope because he does have Jesus Christ. Thankyou for pointing out how Christ can make something clear to someone that is confused.
If you would like prayer you can email me .and I decided it better for people to im me if they want to contact me. ^.^

I don't think there is any mystery why no one responds to you.

You think we are creating a God to suit us yet what are you doing but creating a God to suit you. The bible doesn't condemn homosexuals. The word homosexual did not exist until the 1860's I know you cant be saying that the bible condemns homosexuals because it does not it condemns a specific act and a specific behavior that of anal sex and effeminate behavior. It doesn't condemn any other aspect of homosexual life. So even by your definition of what would make us a sinner using the bible as the standard that you have chosen then those masculine homosexual men who do not engage in anal sex are not sinners and lesbians are also completely off the hook. So that being said if you care to expound on the dangers of anal sex and call it a sin then be my guest, if you want to complain that effeminate behavior is a sin and should not be practiced then that is your right as a christian please do educate the gay community on these facts but do not tell us that you love us but we are sinners because of the love we feel for our partners and then expect us to understand what you call Christian love.

To simplify it, the phrase "hate the sin, not the sinner" is disingenuous. It's a well-loved catch phrase among the Religious Right and is often accompanied by dire predictions of fire and brimstone. I'm glad that most people are intelligent enough to recognize the Catch-22 of that ridiculous concept. If you believe that homosexuality is wrong per your religion then don't have a same-sex relationship. Believing in the Bible doesn't give you the right to beat others over the head with it. That is not love, it is self-indulgent and self-righteous. We all know of the existence of the Bible, no one needs you to point it out to them. We all choose our own belief system in this life. I always find it particularly insulting that the RR who knock on my door to proselytize never think to ask if I have my own beliefs before they start in with the preaching.
My apologies to those Christians reading this who understand their religion does not give them special dispensation to judge and harass others. You are not the problem, though it is people like this who continue to give you a bad name.

Geez...Come on now. We understand that you want to save us from some tragic undoing. And you are doing it out of love. However, I don't believe that I need to be saved by you. You have told me over and over again what YOU BELIEVE. Now I'm telling you I DON'T BELIEVE the same way you do. I don't agree with you. I believe you are wrong.
I never said God didn't exist...stop putting words in my mouth. You are so busy telling us "how it is" you have never stopped to ask us what we believe. Stop assuming things about gay people, stop using your gay friend as a model of what gay people are....if your friend is unhappy with himself, it doesn't mean we are ALL just exactly like your friend. You keep claiming you've read some "stats" on why we are gay....ok great, exactly where did you get the stats from...James Dobson? Consider your source before you start ranting about facts.
Also, The Bible is man's idea about what God was at a certain time in history. It's been translated and re-translated over and over and over again. I think it can be very inspiring for many, many people. I doubt however that it was intended to be used as a text book on how everything is supposed to be...since it is chocked full of contradictions.
If you want to Love people, don't throw Bible versus at them. Be nice to them, try to understand them, and get to REALLY know them, accept them.
Maybe it's time you closed your Bible and opened your heart and your mind.
Oh and …I love you more.

Doesn't the Bible say that God created us in his image? Doesn't that mean that God is white, black, hispanic, chinese, gay, straight, bisexual, tall, short, fat, thin, cross-eyed, pigeon-toed, etc etc? If God created everything and everyone, how can it be that ANYTHING is AGAINST the way God wants it to be?
Oh... and to answer your specific question... just because you say that you love everyone, doesn't give you license to preach and try to make people feel guilty or less than human for being homosexual... they way that GOD made them.

Why do you think we care that your interpretation of The Bible condemns us to eternal damnation? By all means love us (as any good Christian should love his/her neighbour) just don't expect us to react favourably to your condemnation of who we are - in God's Name. Instead, let Him judge us - after all, we have access to The Bible and can make our own decision on its content. That's why God gave us free will...

Why do you persist when you were directly told that your proselytizing was unwelcome as are both your admonishments and your false and blatantly skewed statistics? Apparently your Bible and commandments aren't for you to follow so therefore why should we listen or care?
Hit the road.

How can you misconstrue preaching bigotry, hatred, discrimination and therefore violence against LGBT people as love? I certainly hope you don't have the gall to call yourself a 'christian,' since your actions show you to be exactly opposite. WWJD?

i lost attention half way through your question. we dont know that god loves us, he has not physically come to us and said so. it is but a construction from your holy grail... it is okay that you want to follow and serve god. and so, it should also be okay if people choose not to.

Becuase what you're doing is trolling, whether you mean to or not. Look it up on wikipedia if you don't know what trolling is.
