God saves all people. I think we need that cleared up. He doesn't care if you're a man or woman, gay or straight, or Wiccan or Christian; He loves you no matter what. You ask for salvation, and he'll give it you. Then you'll probably start to change. Also, the Bible was talking about how God doesn't agree with this stuff. He sees past the exterior and what the person does (their sin) to the person and that's how He could die for people, but if you don't ask for forgiveness for the sin THEN you go to Hell. Not because of the sin you committed but because you didn't ask for forgiveness and believe in His Son Jesus Christ.
So yeah, he loves gay people and everyone else until the day you stop breathing. Each person has an individual role to fulfill. It doesn't matter if you're a man or woman; God can definitely use you and WILL save you and DOES LOVE YOU.

God does love gays! It's just not how he planned it. I don't get what you mean by God not making men and women 'equal!' The way it says it in the Bible is fair for both sexes! I think you are trying to contradict anything the Bible says, which really isn't fair! I hope you have a fantastic day anyway! God loves you!

The bible was written by men and reflects the beliefs and values of their time. God loves gay people, He even loves sinners and those who do evil. Wiccans too; so there. Don't forget, God is perfect love; it's only men who have made Him seem like a spiteful old tyrant.

God does love everyone, there was never any doubt about that. It is the sin which is a destroyer that He hates. He has a great love for gays, and I don't know what you mean by the reference to women, because the bible is very clear that God considers the heart, and He does not make a distinction between Jew and Gentile, male and female, slave or master, rich or poor.

God loves you whether your are a man or woman, black, white, red, hispanic, chinese or all of the above. He loves even if you're homosexual or lesbian, single or married or widowed. He loves us because we are His children, created in His image. We are patterned after the Most High; our bodies, our minds, our intellect and will, and most importantly, our free choice. We are the glory of all His created things.
Because of this, we are equal in His eyes, man and woman. It saddens His heart when we mistreat others and rob each other of the dignity that He first gave us.
It saddens His heart also, when we commit acts that are opposed to His love, like homosexuality, or racism, or adultry, theft, murder, you name it. This is also why He forgives us, because like the eternal Father and Parent that He is, He understands more than we could ever imagine that we don't understand a lot of things and make mistakes, even mistakes that can be life altering. This is why He gives us His abundant grace, so that we may be healed and brought back to Him.
... so that we can be loved. Forever.
God bless.

I love how everyone is saying what "god" feels and how he feels like they have met him and personally had a long discussion about what he likes and dislikes...Maybe I have just missed something...what like he has a "MySpace" and you read one of his survey things?
Anyway....the bible was written by people who were unhappy with the way things were going in their time and tried to change it...plain and simple. Then along comes some king (I am thinking it WAS KIng James as in the KJV) and he didnt like certain things in the bible...like women of power. (Mary M,) so he had his monks re-write it to reflect his views. so a lot was lost when the monks did the translations.
The bible is an OK resource as for as "history" goes....but that's about as far as it goes. At best it is a possible reality based fictional book.

The Bible was written by a Pagan, which is why so many of the Pagan beliefs are still followed to day by Christians who don't know better. Look at Pagan symbols and Christan symbols and see how many are the same.

Your assumption seems to be that gay people are created that way, therefore they should be accepted and even encouraged.
Most homosexuals will admit that there is no 'gay gene.' Nobody is 'born gay,' any more than people are 'born stealing' or 'born drinking.' An alcoholic may have a weakness concerning alcohol, but he can choose not to drink. A thief may have less self-control, but he can choose not to steal. A homosexual may have certain desires, but he can choose not to act upon them.
Does God love homosexuals? Yes. That's why he wants them to turn from their sin.

I'm not that religious, but I believe that the Christian God, as portrayed in the Bible loves everyone, if they love him and believe in his teachings.
