God doesn't hate me, and I'm a sinner...but He insists that I turn away from my sin and live in a way that honors Him. When I have problems getting past the sin in my life, He is there to help me.
How can homosexuals say you have no choice? Does a kleptomaniac have a choice whether to steal or not? Should we punish him if he does? What about a pathological liar?
Are all sexual orientations caused by some gene? Necrophilia, for instance? (ewww!) What about Beastiality? Is the guy in love with his dog that way because of some gene? (That would take some explaining, wouldn't it? )
What about pedophiles? If their sexuality is something in thier genes, can they help it? Are they born that way? Should God accept them?
God doesn't hate anyone...but that doesn't mean anyone can stroll up into His mansion and put their feet up on His golden coffee table and say "Sorry, God, but You'll just have to accept me the way I am...I don't feel like changing for You..."

Ooh ooh! Another "homosexuality is a choice" argument!
So, if it's a choice, then can you be homosexual right now? Just choose to be attracted to someone of the same sex. Right now, go ahead. You could even sin and repent afterwards. You have a free pass! Surely, it's worth it just to prove me wrong, right?
Right?
So, are you gay yet?
I didn't think so. While some gays claim to have changed, some of them regress. Some others are miserable, living a lie for God. If it were so easy to choose to be gay or straight, then we wouldn't have so many queers. Why not? Because with as much persecution that gays get nowadays, why would anyone *want* to be gay.
And yes, gays do have an easier time now than they did 30 years ago. But that further drives home the point that being gay is not a choice. Look at how abused gays were in the 70s. Hell, look at Victorian times. With much greater persecution than today, we should have 0% gays.
Yet, we have about 10%.
Nope, homosexuals obviously are as God intended. Do you consider yourself above God's laws by condemning his children? I'd rather listen to God than to you. I don't even know you.

Necrophilia and beastiality are not orintations. They are deviations. Pedophilia is a deviation as well. I'm not gay, but I grew up with a girl who is. In kindergarten I thought she was a boy until picture day when her mother made her wear a dress. She never showed any interest in anything the girls wanted to do. In fact, she pretty much was always doing whatever the boys were. So, about 10 years ago when she came out, none of us were surprised. I don't think you make a sexual preference choice when you are five, especially in the early 70s when I was little. BTW you should read the sermon on the mount.

How can one evaluate homosexuality to pedophilia. One is a sexual orientation regarding consenting adults, on an analogous time as the different is a severe psychological ailment, which often motives one to prey upon people who're incapable of shielding/retaining themselves. i think that's each and each of an analogous to you, isn't it? Sin is sin. How approximately folly? The bible is going into that lots (verify the e book of Proverbs). Claiming that the acts of concenting adults are comparable to acts of sexual predators is extremely silly, as a result folly.

I would like to help you on some of the points you made... first of all I am born again. that means that I am a new creature in Christ, the old things are past away. and JOHN wrote my little children I instruct you not to sin, but if you do, we have an advocate with the FATHER , JESUS CHRIST the righteous.I choose to live the way GOD wants me to live.HE only wants the best for me and I have to understand the nature of sin, that is it will detroy me and all I hold valuable if I live in sin.. GOD wants us to trust HIM and HIS ways to protect us from the sin that will destroy us. I have recently had to face this hard truth. But I have decided to Live for JESUS 100% AND NOT BE SHY ABOUT THE GLORIOUS TRUTH OF SALVATION THRU JESUS CHRIST.

Yes, God doesn't hate anyone, however, He wants us to think of change! He wants us to know that we live in a dark room called ourselves and imprisoned in all sinful nature. He wants us to open our windows for His light to penetrate this darkness and to overcome it. This is why Jesus came, to change us and to change our attitude of sin. This is why the first part of Jesus sermon of the mount is called the beatitudes! This change includes all moral sins, no matter what, even if it is in our genes! And once He does it, changes us, we need to walk with Him with purity and not hanging our filty thoughts on our genes!

I am not going to argue my point of view on this, it is senseless, however I would like to point out something. There is a difference in a homosexual and a child molester. You see, the child molester is HURTING someone. Homosexual relationships don't physically hurt anyone. There is a difference in sexual abuse, and a sexual relationship between two consenting adults. It is rude and insensitive for you to compare the two. I was molested as a child, and I don't see anything OK with it. However, a homosexual person has NEVER hurt me in any way.

I do not consider myself above God's laws. God has blessed us all with the gift of free will. However, we should all remember - "Go and sin no more." I will not be the one to cast that first stone, but I will also try not to "deliberately" sin.

Weldone for being the first person I have noticed to put beastality and necrophilia in the R&S section! Fisrt I have to point out that homosexuality has been lumped with crimes against morality of which is wrong since its not a crime to be gay, so lets take that out shall we. As for the rest of the sex stuff its not classed as sexuality but sexual deviance, all of which are illegal as outlined in law. Now as for being homosexuality I have no problems with that, its only religion that does. I dont think gays have a choice, what they do have though is a choice to be recognised, wheter they coose it or not. But it is not your or my choice to discriminate against them because it doesnt fit with our pre-conceived ideas and for all you know god may have made them that way for a reason. It not up to you to decide what gods intentions are with gay people but to concentrate on you own relationship with him.

How can you put "kleptomaniac" and "homosexual" in the same category? In fact, how can you put any of those deviances in the same category with "homosexual" which is NOT a deviance? And why are you so obsessed with strange sexual fetishes?
Do you really believe this garbage or are you trying to annoy those of us with a brain?
