The bible does not say it's wrong for a man to love another man, it says it is a sin and an abomination for a man to lie with another man as he would lie with a woman. Don't mock that love by being facetious about your Saviour. He loves you more than anyone else ever will.

Well the bible is reffering to another type of love, and I'm pretty sure you know that... According to the bible, a man can love another man, but a man shouldn't make love to another man...

You know the way Jesus loves us is much different from the way a man would love a women
In today's society we confuse feelings for love. I know feelings are part of love but we cannot simply make decisions based off the way we feel.
FEELINGS ARE REAL BUT THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS TRUE!
Example. Your at the food court at the mall ordering food, and you can't decide between a #1 and a #4. So you decide to get a #1 and as soon as you sit down you realize, I should have gotten the #4.
The definition of love Jesus is speaking of is this, to have someone elses best interest in mind.
God gives us free will, to choose between right and wrong according to His standard. If we sin even once than we become the object of his wrath (Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death). A wage is your reward for the work you do, just like at work you earn a wage. So since sin has to be punished Jesus took the punishment we deserved by dying on the cross. Since that has satisfyied God's wrath our relationship has been restored with God if we turn from sin and do what God commands us.
Now Jesus did this willingly. He would rather die so we can live for eternity in Heaven rather than Hell. How many people can you think of that you would give your life for.
John 15:13 Jesus says, "Greater love has no man than this, than one who lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.
Jesus really loves us, and expressed it by giving His life for us.
Just a side note. Have you ever heard," people don't care what you know until they know that you care." If you never get to know God all of his commands will seem like more of a duty, something you have to do not want to.
But if you get to know Him I guarentee you will want to do what He asks not because you have to but because you want to.
I have a beautiful wife! I do not always WANT to do what she asks me to, but because I love her (have her best interest in mind) I go ahead and do them.
Take care.

We only have one word for the translation. The old Hebrew and Greek has multiple words which translate to love in our languate. The love Jesus has for you, me and everyone else is an unconditional/fatherly type love. The love between 2 men you mentioned is homosexuality which is considered an abomination in the bible.

The Bible does not say it's wrong for a man to love another man; it says its wrong for him to have sex with another man. Big difference. The love that God has for mankind is a pure, unconditional love that has nothing to do with sex.

Jesus is God the son. God the father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit are the three Godheads who together created the heaven and earth.in the beginning(in the dateless past) since God(s) created man in his image and likeness of God, God cares about man. He wants you and All men to repent, turn from all sin, be born again as new man to be saved. Do not be deceived by men who lie but believe God and repent for your eternal welfare. Life is short.Buy Bible at www.dake.com. May god bless you.

You really didn't think when you wrote this question. Does ur Earthly Father love you? Does ur brother love you? Does ur Uncle love you? If You Have a Son Does HE love you? If you say that Jesus is gay for loving you then that means that your family is perverted and twisted and have committed a incestuous sin by wanting to love you. How Sad!

cos the bible is a guidebook thats been so istranslated over the years that the original text probably read something like..."In the beginning was a big bang and a load of slimy stuff oozed out of the ground, and then the lemurs ran amock in frantic celebration...."
Sounds silly? not as silly as some of the stuff in the bible..ie adam and eve etc etc

Because Jesus loves you like a son. And if you love your brother like a brother, that's not wrong either.
God Bless!!
