How do homosexuals reconcile religion with who they are?

Question

I'm not sure if I've phrased that correctly. I was wondering how Christian gay men and women reconcile who they are with a religion that classes your sexuality as a sin?

Ok but how is that? I'm genuinely curious, I mean no offence to anyone?

Answer 1

the same way adulters do! if you recall in the new testament an adulterous woman was thrown at the foot of Jesus and they told him she was caught in the act and the law says to stone her because it was a capital crime back then but he said 'if you have not sinned you may cast the first stone'

Answer 2

to gabrielbe...
He also told her to " Go and sin no more after He forgave her.

To answer your question.....If they are true Bible believers and truely want to follow the Word of God, they cannot reconcile their being homosexual.
Read it for yourself.....1st Corinthains 6:9 New King James Version. This leave no question as to whether or not it is a sin.....

People try to change things, perception, and views of other people. They think " If we say it's ok " long enough, then it'll be ok.
Sin is sin, always and forever, God's Word does not change. Man changes and tried to justify his changes.............this is still sin

Answer 3

I only understand that it took the Catholic Church hundred of years to finally settle for that the earth become around and not the middle of the image voltaic gadget even after it become shown. I even have confidence that sometime they'll replace in this besides. It only takes time, so till then i assume i could be referred to as a %. and choose Catholic!

Answer 5

Some forms of Christianity do not see it as a sin.

Answer 6

i think they just believe in a greater god...
i have met gay couples of all religions. i think they just view their god as a more caring and loving father than really tight religion fanatics that take everything literally.

Answer 7

Don't know, I'm not gay but, it looks like they get over it ! I don't care if someone's gay, everyone has the right to survive, I just don't want to hear about their "FUN", as I'm sure that they don't want to know about mine !

Answer 8

Some pick and choose what they want to believe in the Bible.

Answer 9

Religion is all fiction so you can take anything you like from it and interpret it any way you like.
