GAYS..ur views?

Question

what are your views on being gay and gay persons and how you you feel if your loved one "came out"

I personally think its wrong, and get very angry when a gay person speakes about God and that it was his choice to make him/her gay..put i no the jamaican mentality because i am from the caribbean but i don't think you have to kill them or even have the right.....

you can't be gay and a christian....or a follower of christ..you could believe in God but you can't be a christian..the bible clearly states that is ungodly...Adam and even.....thats my opinion

i never said i hate gays...i don't think ur life style is acceptable....but all u just argue...no one can explain anything...do u even no y ur gay? n please don't say god made u this way...we all are equal and then choose our different paths....can u please explain....i don't understand it. and how many black people do you know that are gay?

Answer 1

I totally disagree. There is absolutely no rationale behind your statement that gay people cannot be Christian. Even if you believe the ridiculous assertion that the Bible condemns LGBT people, the Bible certainly condemns many activities that self-avowed Christians the world over have participated in. Are you going to revoke their Christian Card, too, just because you don't like it? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you have the right or authority to dictate whether or not it is acceptable for these people to label themselves Christian.

Answer 2

First of all, I beleive that everyone has a right to their individual religious perspective. I believe you have a right to think God will send me to hell. But I believe that other people have a right to interpret the same scripture a different way. That's almost definitely a reflection of the society I grew up in (we're big on religious freedom), but that's a major part of my moral code. Either way, gay people exist. I think people need to be able to handle the fact that gay people exist, and whether they agree or not, they need to be able to function with that knowledge. Adultery is also a sin. It's not illegal as such. But you don't see people running around killing adulterers (who aren't too hard to come by), nor do you see people pushing to MAKE it illegal. I think there's an unfair emphasis on sexual orientation because people don't understand it. Adultery, even if you'd never do it, you at least understand.

Answer 3

Honey, you clearly weren't raised a Christian, because then you'd know what Christianity is all about.

Jesus came to chase out the money lenders, to stop the stoning of women for adultery, to forgive sinners - his was an unending message of love and joy, forgiveness and acceptance. This is the message of the new testament.

Your view of religion is seated squarely in the harsh unloving vengeful god of the OLD testament - the time BEFORE Christ.

If you want to deny Christ's teachings you go right on hating gays. You can't hate lesbians though, because there are NO references to lesbians in the bible.

Modern theologians have agreed that the sin of Sodom was in-hospitality, not homosexuality; if you are going to stick to the old testament, you are really going to have to study it properly. Think about it - why would Lot offer his daughter to a bunch of gay men? That's hardly likely to appease them is it?

In any case, to accept the whole of the old testament, you must also be punished if you have pierced your ears (or anything else). You must also be punished if you eat dairy products from the same plate as meat; if you wear polyester-cotton blend clothing - and so on and so on.

If you want to live in misery and fear of a wrathful god go ahead - or else read the new testament, and accept Jesus's view of love and redemption for all.

Answer 4

I think being gay is great. Lesbians are awesome! If one of my loved ones (other than me) came out, I'd be proud of them.

FYI- you can be gay and believe in God. You can even be Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc and be gay. God knows no color, race, or sexual orientation. If He makes no mistakes, then we gays were made on purpose.

We don't expect everyone to be gay, so Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve doesn't really work. He made some people straight and some gay. Just like some black, white, tan, etc.

Answer 5

Well, my sister is gay and she is normal as anyone else. She's also a Christian. I hate when people say you can't be gay and Christian. I don't believe people have the right to question someone else's faith. You don't know what's inside someone's heart. Why fault someone for being in love with someone? I mean, with all the things going on in this world, I think it's great to find love, where ever that may be.

Answer 6

I'm gay and I grew up a Christian believing that it's wrong. It was hard for me to understand/accept these feelings, very conflicting. I had always fancied boys since I was a child. I have no desire or sexual attraction for girls. . Also, It hurt me to hear people ridicule, hate and criticize gays. I had listened to negative comments since I was a child, I felt like an unwanted outcast and it was damaging to me. I tried to change myself, I couldn't. I ended up with low-esteem, depression, anxiety, and being self-destructive. I ended up hating me, you aren't suppose to hate. GOD is LOVE and if something is causing you to hate. You should really question it.

I'm a good person and had put other peoples feelings before my own. I'm out and I can't do that anymore because I know what's its like to be Gay, didn't choose to fall in love with other males. There's alot of us out there, who feel the same way.

I've had love ones come out and I'm so glad they did earlier in life because they can focus on themselves. I know how it feels to live in denial, if you try to deny who you truly are. Aren't you suppose to be true to thy self, right?

When someone come out as gay, lesbian or bi. I feel that they should be commended because it's hard.

Answer 7

My view is why are you still here posting questions to hurt others, we are not bothering you. By the way, who is Adam and Even? I believe in God, have had great spiritual encounters, am blessed with alot of things that others would only dream of, so while you are on your homophobic kick think about the "real" crimes in the world and leave our's alone. I think it is your obsession to continue to be here, it is almost like you are looking for a girlfriend, go away and post your rampages somewhere else, you are not welcomed here. I still say you are full of raging dickshit. By the way, I am lesbian, you don't like, leave. See ya'.

Answer 8

well, being homosexual myself, i completely disagree with you. its unfortunate that you think my lifestyle is wrong and "unholy" but thats what is great about america, we are all entitled to our opinions. however, i would love to share my insight with you. we simply cant criticize the gay population wholly on the fact that the bible says its wrong. they bible says many things are wrong, and on a daily basis, we break rules that are layed out in the bible. no sin is any worse than another, none... sin is sin! so if my being homosexual is a sin, then of course ppl who loath and hate my community, will surely be burning in the fiery pits of hell right next to me. but i really would like for you to examine your to re-examine the way you feel about the gay community.

Answer 9

i came out and was ridiculed out of the church. it was a huge reality check. I never went back to church and began persuing other religious teachings and settled on buddhism. i am accepted and much happier.

my family virtually disbanded me. it taught me that if you can say that you are saved , but turn around and hate people or judge people or turn your back on your own family you are not saved - you are miserable . jesus taught unconditional love, not what is being preached nowadays.

It was NOT A CHOICE for me to be gay! No more is it a choice for you to be straight. I cannot physically make my dick hard for a woman. It just wont work. Just like a "straight" man is not turned on by another man - it just doesnt work.

Answer 10

Gay people are a naturaly percentage of the population, and would support a loved on who came out.
