According to Christian belief, homosexuality is an abomination and we're all going to hell. But then according to other religious nuts, we're "shoving" our "crap" down their throats, and we all need to go back into the closet. Well, in the closet or out, supposedly we're going to hell anyway, so what difference does it make?

Jaime M, please. God made me gay, and if you don't believe that, fine, but don't preach the word of man to me. I know what man said.

Remember, too long ago, blacks were going to hell just for being black, and before that, women were going to hell just for being women (no scriptures from the bible, this is just what history teaches us)

im a lesbian,and i dont understand what give people the right to judge others about who they choose to love.for people that dont have anyting better to do,they would rather talk about gays than their own lives.no one is perfect and no sin is greater that another,everyone has made a mistake in their lives,but who are you to judge a person like me.nine times out of ten,the ones who is doing most of the talking are the ones in the closet and wanting to come out.

We don't go to hell for being who we are. Many people can make you feel as though you are living in hell for being who we are. I grew up in a very tough Catholic family, however, my family has learned to accept that being gay is not a choice, this is how God made me. Now for God to send me to hell that would be hypocritical. So, it does not matter if you are in or out of the closet, just be happy with your life. It's not a choice, if i could choose, I would love to walk down the street hand in hand with my love and not have people stare. Being judge mental towards other is a sin also.

You are very mislead. Gays are not condemned to hell simply for being gay. They are subject to the same rules as heterosexuals. Too many people misquote Scripture on this issue and it is needlessly hurting homosexuals that feel God hates them. The Semitic usage of the word translated into modern English as 'hate' meant loves less. The scripture itself talks about practicing homosexuals.
[1 Cor 6:9] Do you not know that the unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor boy prostitutes nor practicing homosexuals
[1 Cor 6:10] nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor robbers will inherit the kingdom of God.
[1 Tim 1:10] the unchaste, practicing homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is opposed to sound teaching,
Another way of saying it is. "Hate the sin, not the sinner".

human beings like that are so fearful of their insecurities that they are going to blame their desparity on God's judgment of them. Your fact grow to be only your opinion, you may not enable that one guy discourage you from all closeted human beings. He in all probability believed which you have been examining Christian ideals on your own thank you to make something he considered to be incorrect, being gay, to be good. He did not something yet inform you which you have been incorrect and to close up, for sure he grow to be taken over with the help of emotion, he did not prefer to proceed the team communicate, and that's detrimental that no person appeared to call him out on that for considered one of these disrespectful and immature reaction. human beings like that are those style of unhappy situations which you be attentive to you may not basically forget approximately approximately after the 1st disagreement. i'm not asserting which you your self could turn this guy around, yet he desires help. He grow to be raised to have confidence that he's going to hell whilst he dies, and the justifications why do not could be lots whilst for him, you're calling what he thinks is a sin "o.ok."

Who the hell cares about Christian beliefts, we're not all gay Christians!. We've heard it all before but feel free to ignore the fact that phrists are raping women and molesting boys, or that the history of the papal village is one of corruption, lets not forget the inquization! Yeah, so gays will burn in hell, I'm sure we'll see a few popes down there. Maybe we can play strip poker together, wouldn't that be a laugh.

Well, for one thing, Dearheart, we're *not* going to hell. That lovely little place was made up by the Christians to frighten other Christians into behaving. God didn't have anything to do with making it up. all souls go back to God at the end of their run of life. For anyone to condemn another living being to a place of eternal torment isn't very Christ-like is it? We go Home. God loves, Man hates. There's a big difference. Blessings, my dear.

I am a Christian.
I was born with high levels of estrogen, making for an enbalance in my hormones, kinda like "hormones gone wild". Guess what behavior came of it? Sexual frenzy (not necessarily promiscuity)!
Guess what I had to do if I wanted to live the way that The Creator SAYS is right, what our society (the majority) deems as moral, what common sense tells me makes sense (it makes no sense to spend so much time thinking of and being consumed with sex), and what my heart just didn't feel at peace with? I had to fight it and stop it. Fortunately enough, I had help along the way (Jesus), but it's something I no longer struggle with.
Point? Even if YOU feel you were "born' that way", doesn't mean you have to LIVE that way. You have the ability to control your physical desires, change, transform your mind and live the way that your heart (not your body) REALLY tells you to.
Peace to you, and know that there are people out who really care about you (without even knowing you) enough to continue to root for you!

Homosexuality is an abomination...along with murder, adultery, bestiality, rape, sodomy, and the list goes on. We are ALL abominable and undeserving of God's grace. (Romans 3:23) But it is by this grace we are saved, not our works (what we do or don't do). (Ephesians 2:8-9) Thus no matter what we've done (homosexuality included), if we turn from our sins and accept the gift of eternal life Jesus gave to us through His death on the cross, we will go to heaven. (1 John 1:9, John 3:16) So no, you aren't automatically "going to hell anyway"--you have a choice in the matter.

I don't believe gays are going to hell...but I don't really believe in Hell either.
I believe that as long as a person strives to do the best with their lives, treats people well and fairly and trys to abide by the laws of man and decent human nature, they will be fine in their after life, what ever they believe that to be.
