If God will forgive me for committing murder, why won't he forgive me if I'm gay?

Question

People, are you noticing that there are two ifs in the question?

Answer 1

The only sin you wouldn't be forgiven for is the denial of the gift of life He offers you through His atonement.... Jim

Answer 2

1. You can't un-gay, even if right now you think you are. 2. God either exists or he doesn't exist. If he doesn't exist (more likely given the total lack of evidence to suggest he does), being gay doesn't matter. However, if he does exist then he's perfect, right? And he doesn't make mistakes. So why did he make you gay? Maybe God isn't perfect. Then why is he God? So he's perfect, that means he didn't make a mistake when he created homosexuality. 3. Anyone telling you homosexuality is wrong is a bigot that hides behind religion to justify their prejudice. The religious people that are the most anti-gay are normally in the closet themselves, self-haters that think everyone is as confused and scared about their own sexuality as they are. They are screw ups and don't listen to them. 4. If God appeared and said plainly 'homosexuality is a sin!', then that would make God a bigot and not worthy of being followed. Common sense tells us there is nothing wrong with consenting adults wishing to live however they want to. What exactly is God's problem with homosexuality? Truth is, unless he is a bigot, he doesn't have a problem and it is other intolerant humans. The bible was written by conservative humans in a conservative part of the world in more conservative times.

Answer 3

He will forgive you if you believe and trust that He died for your sins. If you would do then you can turn from your sins. Romans 6: 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Romans 6: 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Being gay is not only a sin against God but it is a sin against nature. Romans 1: 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Romans 1: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Romans 1: 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Answer 4

He will, if you repent and turn away from it. Don't say you can't because if that wasn't the case, then God would be a lie and He can't lie. Because of the original sin, we come into this world with a sin nature, susceptible to all kinds sins, which is why we need a redeemer. You just don't realize that Christ has already paid the sin debt for your sin of homosexuality and that all you have to do is believe it and look to Him (that's if you really want deliverance). It was all dealt with at the cross. All you have to do is look at his finished works, recognize what it meant for your life, and believe on Him. You have to forget about yourself and what you want in your flesh. It's the same as any sin. Read Romans 6, 7, 8 and maybe you'll get a better understanding. What good would it be for you to continue asking forgiveness for the same sin, when all you have to do is recognize your deliverance and accept it?

Answer 5

Both are sins against Gods`Word ! Have you only murdered once, and then asked for the Lord to come into your life and guild you in a path of His Will ? Or ; are you still murdering , in that case you are still in sin ! Same goes for you being queer ! Have you asked the Lord to deliver you from the abomination of the queer lifestyle , if you have, and you are still in the queer lifestyle , then you are still in sin in both instances . * Stopped murdering ? Asked the Lord to forgive you , then the sin is forgiven ; with the responsibility on your part to continue to grow in God`s Word !! Ceased from your queer lifestyle ? Asked the Lord to forgive you ? Then the sin is forgiven , and you continue to grow in the will of the Lord , abstaining from your sin as a queer and again the responsibilty falls on you to continue to move closer to God in your daily life . I as a Christian sin daily , even though it is not to the extremes that you have mentioned , I am in the flesh just as you are , and sin is all around and it is through Prayer and avoiding the things and the places that I know I am weak in the flesh at . It is a daily task to stay alert to all the temptations that I face each day . I have to continually remind myself , is what I am doing or thinking about doing bringing honor and glory to the Lord ! If not , then I know To start thinking on Gods` word and asking Him to help me get through the temptation ! God Bless with Patience & Understanding .

Answer 6

Because the mere mention brings back old memories of when he slept with Satan. Naw, ill be nice, its not God who wont forgive you, according to some churches, its the church who wont forgive you. I say, if you're gay, you go live that life, leave those who diss you in the dust. You be who and what you want to be, dont let anyone tell you differently.

Blessed be!!!!

Answer 7

The bible is an invisible constitution. it's not true, if you read the book "cat's cradle" it's like bokonism. It's just there to give people a purpose, life is more than the bible. In my opinion it helps make us live a good life under the circumstance of being manipulated, but a few years ago people were very very dumb. So they wanted some sort of porpose, they had no technology, all they did was pray and farm, hoping to one day go to heaven. But i mean, GOD MUST NOT FORGIVE YOU, you must forgive yourself and come to the conclusion. Can you stop being gay? is there a way you could stop killing? thats how you understand things, is being gay hurting anyone? is killing hurting anyone? simple questions. yet difficult.

Answer 8

He forgives the repentant, remorseful murderer that openly confesses regardless of earthly consequences and promises not to do the sin again.

He will also forgive the homosexual that does the same

Answer 9

He will forgive you for both,why would you think He wouldn't..No sin is worse than another,,sin in any form is wrong..When you ask for forgiveness,,it is because you are truly sorry for your sins and don't want to do them again,,although there are many sins which are harder to let go of,,thats what Jesus comes in,,He has step in between you and God,,He is your cleansing,,when you pray Jesus speak on behalf for you,we can't go to God first because of our sins,,so thats why Jesus is the way,the life and truth,,no one comes to our Father but through Jesus first..Jesus is our mediator more or less,,to say it to understand..If you truly want to be forgiven for your sins,pray and repent..If you still struggle,remember Jesus is there to help you through it all..He loves you not the sin..We can't please God with how good we are because noone is good,,thats why Jesus came because He was spotless..No blemishes at all,,but we know we all are..Listen to your heart and what Jesus is speaking to you..remember Jesus says to forgive 70 times 7 so that means you will be forgiven much if you seek Him..

Answer 10

That's not God talking that's the voice of some confused men who are driven by fear and fear alone. God only cares that you
love others like yourself (don't get kinky there) The true test of a
man of God is that we love one another and cause no harm to
each other. If you or I or any other human are to be judged it will
be by God and for reasons not involved with the personal hangups of other men

Answer 11

It's sad how evangelics believe people "choose" to be gay. It's not like people "choose" to be straight. It's even funnier that there are people that still believe in god!! you'd think people would have an education by now and respect people's differences and allow them to marry males or females. whatever they want.
