Jesus also taught "Let those without any sin cast the first stone"
My friend, I think you need to look at and worry about your own life and stop trying to "Police" the world.

Do you people know that by being bigotted and self centered, and self important you push us even further away from religion?
You are trying to do something good so God will think you are worthy of him?
God knows everything, sees everything, right? He can look into your heart? Ya think God's an idiot and he can't tell what you're doing? How can you be so hypicritical? God teaches you to love others and give to others. How are you doing this by telling people they sin when they love each other? Can't you as such a God fearing man not find it in your heart to have compassion for these people. Isn't that what you're supposed to be doing? You're out gathering easy points with God. Told another one he's/she's a sinner, two points, boy oh boy, ten more and I'm home free.
Look how good I am God, I'm putting myself through hell for you being bashed by these cretans. Love me more than the guy I kneel beside in church.
And I don't get this God "fearing" part either. Why do I have to fear someone who's supposed to love me?
Learn to see yourself as you truly are, then you may look down on me.

Please cite Chapter and verse of where it states God says to let people know they are sinning.
Luke 6:37 Never criticize or condemn or it will all come back on you - Go easy on others
Luke 6:41 - And why quibble about the speck in someone else's eye - his little fault - when a board is in your own
Do I think that homosexuality is a sin? Yes I do but so is lying, cheating, stealing, adultery, lusting, selfish anger. He who is without sin cast the first stone and we know that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
If your goal is truly evangelism why not show the love side of God, Jesus accepted prostitute's, lepers

How would you feel if I told you you were sinning for spreading your beliefs? Seeing that the bible says pride and anger are sins and humility and kindness are contrary virtues?
Not good, I'd reckon. So maybe that will give you some idea about why people react irritated when you tell them that they're sinning.
My personal opinion is that it's best to leave people in peace and let them make their own decisions, unless they are actively hurting other people.
If you believe in a god, then he will make judgements about this. You don't need to do that for him. Don't you see that it's wrong to impose your beliefs on other people?

#1 all lesbians aren't mean and nasty. That's a stereotype like all rednecks love nascar and big trucks.
#2 the bible nor god says NOTHING that homosexuality is a sin.
#3 because you got turned down by a lesbian you became mean and nasty.
Lmfao.

We all know when we are not living our lives right. They know.
I would just ask you to maybe tell them a little differently. I am adamently Christian and a wicked sinner undeserving of Christs sacrifice for my life.
They commit sin. We commit sin. Whose sin is greater? Does not matter. We will all answer to God when we die ALL of us, we DO have a duty as Christians to lead others in Christ's path BUT we are also told not to "cast out pearls amongst swine".
Either they want to hear it or they dont.
Dont give up though, what you say today may not sink in tomorrow but in 5 years it could.
Keep living for God and walking your path.
Blessings.

Some have a hard time hearing the truth especially when one is being selfish. One has to explain in love not with a club but in love,"brother, sister don't do that your hurting yourself and your offending God in a grievous way, let me help you out of that difficulty, help you to change your thinking". Being cut off from the father is a scary thing, you've got to love the sinner but not the sin

Well let's see. Two people are harassed from all sides of society because of their sexual orientation, and then someone tells them they are engaged in a relationship that an imaginary deity says is an abomination (the imaginary deity also says eating shrimp is an abomination) and you want to be thanked for, in essence, saying, "The Easter Bunny says you two are evil sickos, and after you die, you'll be brought back to life and tortured in flames for eternity, and if you also eat shrimp, the flames will be twice as hot." The nicest possible response you could expect would be something like, "You're sort of retarded, aren't you?"

People (including ourselves) typically do not like to face the truth. Their reaction is just evidence that you struck a nerve of truth in them. They will not change necessarily, but at least they have been told. Jesus made a lot of people mad while He was here, but He also saved a bunch, so we must suffer the bad with the good. Keep on preaching and God bless you.

What if i told you you were wrong in telling me that i was sinning because your faith is wrong and i don't believe it? Wouldn't you get mad? By the way i am a straight believing male but that is just the way i think most people would take it.
