The Bible says that homosexuality is an abomination, so how can you be gay and claim to worship God? Don't give us that "everyone sins" line, it won't work!

I think the problem is how do you define God loving and God fearing. So many in the homosexual community define God loving as being someone who wants to feel close to God. To truly be God loving, though, means to have a heart of submission to his will and a desire to OBEY.
1 Sam 15:22
2 But Samuel replied: "Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
God wants our commitment. He demands our obedience. That's where the issue of homosexuality and love of God are incompatible. You cannot love God and openly rebel against Him by refusing to alter your lifestyle when you know it is against the will of God.

Friend, the answer is no, why? you obviously read that it is an abomination. Think about it, if God considers it an abomination how can a person say he loves God? If you study the story of Lot and Abraham, you see that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by God because they were corrupted in any way possible majorly homosexuallism. The word sodomite means homosexual. People today tolerate homosexuals saying that they are born that way, God made man and woman and established the institution of marrigae between man and woman in the creation. The devil is trying to confuse man kind in believing that God accepts homosexualism, the truth is far from that. I hope I helped you understan alittle. God Bless!

I am no expert, but I do know the Ten Commandments, I also was raised a very strict Catholic. But today, I am a Christian, and I believe that God forgives everyone who believes in him, and who are sincere. No-matter who you are, you have a soul, and I do believe God knows those who live the life of the Lord. God does not want people to murder each other, but they do, and yes he does forgive them too, so what's the difference in you being a homosexual? What does your sexual preference have to do with God loving you or not? Did you hear they are going to let Priest's have sex? See, don't make a issue out of nothing, if you believe , you are just the same as anyone else in God's eyes!

Homosexuality is a choice of lifestyle & sin in God's eyes, I agree with you. Can we truly love God & still sin?? Remember, in God's eyes, sin is sin. A carnal Christian, a Christian that is living in the flesh & not being led by the Spirit probably fits into this category - just like many, many Christians who do love God & desire to live for Him but are in bondage to some sin or the other. The sin may be something attitudinal - not something as obvious as a homosexual lifestyle. But again, sin is sin.

A man can truly be a homosexual and a God loving, fearing Christian. I think they can. Everyone struggles through things, as long as this man knows its wrong because the Bible clearly says so, and is trying to stop it. If this man is truly a Christian though, he would be trying to stop it, its a temptation given to this man and he needs God's strength to overcome it.

No. It is against God's commandments.
(1 Corinthians 6:9) What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men,
(1 Timothy 1:10) fornicators, men who lie with males, kidnappers, liars, false swearers, and whatever other thing is in opposition to the healthful teaching

Satan is unholy, he cannot be holy at all. Gays are spiritually sick and they need spiritual cure that only Jesus can do. Only God can search and touch the depth of our soul. Only God will interfer if you let Him and allow Him to help you.

i agree, but you have to remember, all sins are the same in God's eyes. it's when we know it's a sin and continue doing that sin when it becomes a problem.

There are some people who are orientated towards being gay but choose not to act on it because of their faith.
