You tell people they were born g@y because it says so in a book written 2000 years ago by a bunch of war hungry christians who had visions. By the way, do you know what we call people who have visions in the real world? Crazy... NEways. Remeber being a kid and just wanting to fit in? what little kids decides he wants to be a social outcast and made fun of his entire childhood? Please! It would be easier to convince a kid to kill someone than make him embarasses himself at school. Any what about the people who accepted Jesus as their savior but live their entire life lonely because they can not find love, in fear their christian brothers will condemn them. If you christians keep pushing people away, a 100 years from now the only christians that will be left will be fanatics. Then it either war or separation. That cant be god plan

Not easy to make sense of. You need to work on your written expression.
But I do share your concerns about the rise of fundamentalist, right-wing Christianity that preaches hatred for gays and anyone else who does not submit to their way of thinking.

Again, you are painting Christian with a broad brush. I am a Christian and I haven't told anyone they were born one way or another. The book of which you speak was written over a period of time. The old testament is older than 2000 years.
Are you looking for life and mankind to make sense? Good luck with that. We are passionate, emotional creatures - that alone defies logic. To prove that point, put ten people in a room and ask them to accomplish something. Ten people, ten different plans on how to get things done....some will be more vocal, more adamant that their way is the right way. Human nature....
God's plans is that all people have the opportunity to know and believe in His Son as Savior. But Christians, also being human beings, manage to screw it up - being zealots, or fundies, chasing away good people who would love to come to know Christ.
God's plan is perfect - it is the human element that manages to goof things up.

Wouldn't the PARTICULAR TYPE of Christian you seem to describe here DISAGREE that people are "born gay"?
Christians should not - and usually do not - push anybody away... more the opposite... Christians are inviting others to share in Jesus' vision of a kingdom of God on earth - a kingdom of love, tolerance, grace, forgiveness and ACCEPTANCE.
It is the lonely and the outcast that Christians try to love and to befriend - with no strings attached - so that they can feel accepted. We condemn NO-ONE.

It has to be God's plan. Face it, the proof of evolution is all around you. The fact is humans are destroying this planet and each other.
The Christians and Muslims are desperate to start world war three because if we live much longer, the world will end without God ever showing back up before we destroy the planet -- and it will show that God doesn't exist.
World War III is on the horizon folks, and it's going to be Christians vs. Muslims. Here's hoping the human race survives and realizes what idiocy religion is.

i'm thoroughly and completely dumbfounded while it is composed of Christian logic, exceedingly while it is composed of theories bearing directly to the initiating of the universe. data exisist that dictate that the universe is 14 billion years previous and the Earth 4.5, yet Christians (many on right here) argue that it is barely 6,000. certainty dictates that dinosaurs walked in the international sixty 5 million years in the past on a similar time as guy walked upright from approximately 2 hundred,000 years in the past. those are data, there at the instant are not any doubts approximately it. I do exactly not see how Christians can argue data with "you need to have self belief" - that seems to me to be purely stupid. As for doctrines - as i'm not non secular they don't concern me too plenty yet I do think of that they generate ALOT of guilt thoughts among non secular people. each action is the two rewarded (heaven) or punished (hell). the only thoughts I actual have approximately doctrines are while they criticize or positioned down people - like homosexual people (who I actual have study on right here have chemical imbalances) and people (in often adverse circumstances jointly with rape) who've had abortions. i believe absolutely everyone seems to be entilted to thier very own opinion yet not on a similar time as judging or treating people unfairly. think of if it became into Christians which have been being persectuted in the way Gays and others have been by utilising the Church???

no one says people are born gay. psychological factors can occur that change a persons outlook but you see....its wrong....Christians aren't war hungry or any other obscenity that you have accused us of. And true christians accept Jesus Christ as their savior because He gives peace, joy, happiness, love. He gave up everything for you...and what have you given? nothing..none of us have. He loves us that much. God's plan is much more than you think...He loves us too much to think otherwise. He loves you man. all He asks is that you take His hand...that you let Him into your life. but when you turn around you see satan. and he pressures you with all the worldy pleasures and eternal fire. its all about choice. No human being would walk willingly into Hell and yet they do. I'll pray for you.

Christianity posits that ALL human beings are sinners. The prohibition in the Bible against homosexuality is one of hundreds of commandments. Everyone breaks a lot of commandments every single day. There is nothing that is particularly "worse" about homosexual sins.
Whether people are born gay or not is not the issue. Science tells us that some people are genetically predisposed to alcoholism, over-eating, anger, serial murder, sexual addiction etc. We all have sinful proclivities that we must fight against. The question is whether we love God more than our appetites.
Jesus offers to wash us from our sins through faith in him. But I just want to emphasize that EVERYONE needs this forgiveness -- not just people who are gay. Those who choose faith in Christ must fight against their sinful tendencies -- and very often Christians fail in this fight. True faith means that we try to be obedient to Christ -- but he is always faithful to forgive us if our repentance is genuine (see 1 John).
Then again -- no one is forcing people to be Christians. Forgiveness is a free gift of God through Jesus but no one is forced to accept Christ. But if Christians walk away from what we believe is the Word of God, we might as well close up all the churches because then you can make Christianity into anything you want it to be.

The Bible doesnt tell people they are born gay. People are not born gay it is something they choose. Christians are going to be persecuted for what they believe, it says so in the BIBLE. So it only makes our faith stronger when we are made fun of. Mark 13:13 says"And you will be hated by all for my names sake, but he who endures to the end shall be saved!" Why would people who accept Jesus condemn someone for being in love, that doesnt make sense. Who do christians push away? God tells us to love everyone, but hate their sin, that does not mean hate the person.

Those who truly know the grace of God would not trade the love of God in Christ for any or every friendship in the world plus a pocket- ful of gold. Why deny anyone kid or not to know true joy, love, and peace?
