Can you love homosexuals but hate homosexuality?
Are they not both born as God intended, to love as God intended them to love?
Is your understanding of the Word so perfect you would take the place of God: to judge and condemn others because they do not believe as you believe?

Hello Orion.. :)
Why does one always ask this question in regards to homosexuals? Why not ask if pedophiles are loved, murderers are loved, drug addicts are loved etc...
For Jesus died for all not just for some.. :)
Yes, we Love everyone..it is the sin that we hate..we can separate the two..
To all that say we judge others..are you not doing to same to us..because we believe differently than you... :(
In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)

If one means to imply some sort of parallel between the acceptability of being black and the acceptability of being homosexual, one is overlooking some key factors. Nowhere in scripture is being "black" condemned. The scriptures however condemn fornication and intimate relations between people of the same gender fall under the Bible term porneia - fornication.
Moreover, black people are not "born as God intended." Dark skin, fair skin and everything in between is merely one of many physical traits that can be - and are - inherited.
Those who speak against what God judges as wrong are not themselves judges. To illustrate: God condemns adultery. If now a person speaks against adultery, utilizing God's word the Bible, how is it that this person is a judge? It is God's word which condemns the conduct, is that not so? So it is with fornication. No matter what form it takes, it is not acceptable to God.

Interesting question! God wants us to love everyone. But I personally can't and won't.Since there is good and bad in each of us it would be sad to just love the person and not what they stand for. The color of a persons skin or their sexuale prefrence should have no substance of what we love about them.That part of them can't hurt us. But what is in the soul of a person can tear us apart. We must look deeper into a person to find the true sense of their beauty. I have no love nor ever will for a Rapest,child molester,drug pusher,Terrorist,suiside killer. These people(?) are not worthy of the love of God.How you can forgive anyone for raping a child and then cut then up or leave them to die is not a forgiving thing....

That my dear~I believe is the definition of an oxymoron. Moron being appropriate if you think about it, because anyone who thinks they have the right to condemn anyone is in for some condemning themselves. And to judge, it is hard for us as humans in THIS society, but I try and remember one of His greatest sayings:
"Judge not lest you be judged." & just for good measure: "Let he who is without sin throw the first stone." I love God:o]

. I think the real question is do you love yourself? Can you love white people but hate white skin?..Is God really white or is he no colour at all? Can we love Jesus who was Jewish? but hate the Jewish people.? Love who you love . Believe in your God whomever he /she may be. We may never see eye to eye on this earth: because God made it that way" for us to try to work things out. We have to co-habit or MANKIND will never survive.no matter,what race, gender and or sexual preferance you may have tittle to.

The Bible states to love thy neighbor as thy love thy self.
As well as saying do unto others as you want other to do unto you.
To me that says the love and respect of others is an important aspect. Of what God's has commanded us to do. To love someone and not to like certain aspect of them is not being obedient to what God has stated. So many people will have to revamp their thinking to either obey or not to obey..........

I agree, but good luck getting believers to buy into this notion. Also, I suspect there'd probably be some black people who'd be offended by this comparison as well.

There is a difference between the color of skin and the acts you perform. Your question is full of emotion, perhaps that's why you are comparing a skin color to a sexual act.
