Since people didnt get the just of my first question i feel i must try this again.....Why do Gay Christians think they will go to heaven just because they practice every other christian belief expect for the gay part....thats like a murderer or thief practing every belief expect for the one they participate in. yes i am comparing killing to gayness because in the eys of the Lord they are both sins non greater then other. Why do gays go so far as to have a gay church thats the same as a murderer church.... do you get my just? and i am not judging i kno let he who is without sin cast the first stone but i am not throwing stones im just trying to understand the logic behind the whole i am gay dats cool wit God idea.....and when jesus sed the whole stone throughin thing he did tell to the girl to SIN NO MORE in the end which i think is what every is missing.....
plz dont mock and answer seriously...if you are not a gay christian or a christian dont answer because this doesnt concern you

Leviticus18:22
"You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; that is an abomination."
"[A] man shall leave his father and mother, and be made one with his wife; and the two shall become one flesh."
Paul later writes: "Make no mistake: no fornicator or idolator, none who are guilty either of adultery or of homosexual perversion, no thieves or grabbers of drunkards of slanderers or swindlers, will possess the kingdom of God."
One verse reads: "I grieve for you, Jonathan my brother; dear and delightful you were to me; your love for me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women."

I really don't get that either, but I do understand where you are coming from.

1. Homosexuality is not listed as one of the 10 commandments.
2. It is your interpretation that insist that homosexuality is a sin, many biblical scholars do not agree and I DO believe they have far more knowledge on the subject than you do.
3. Your suggestion of a "murder" church is inept simply because while homosexuality is subject to debate and interpretation, the taking of another's life is not.
4. While yes he did say "Go and sin no more" his first admonishment was to those that cast the stone, which is exactly what you are doing. Why do you feel you have the right to question others beliefs, especially when you were specifically told NOT to do so?
5. I am NOT a Christian but I have just as much right to answer your question as anyone else considering I HAVE read and understood the Book, something that you obviously cannot say.

I'm going to pray real hard for you, Sweetie. I can tell you mean well and you want to do right in the eyes of God, but you're fighting the wrong battle. God would much rather you spend your time helping the homeless than preaching misinformation on a message board. Jesus loves everyone. Gay people didn't choose to be gay. We're definitely born this way. I used to sincerely pray every day and night that God would change me and turn me straight, but I finally realized that he loved me just the way I am. God intended for some people on Earth to be gay. We've got as much of a right to be happy and serve God any way we choose as you do. Honestly, I think that's why God has granted man with the knowledge of science to prove that gays are born the way they are. The bible was written by men (Jewish men that were obsessed with procreating to make more Jews on the planet), not by God. Actually, the bible was put together by a bunch of men in the Catholic church a thousand years after any of the books was written. They actually sat down and hand picked which books would be included and cast out hundreds of others. How do we know that the Catholic Church, which was extremely corrupt at the time, picked the books that best represented how Jesus believed? You have to look at history to understand our faith. Please don't lose your soul trying to put down people that God loves and will eventually do right by. Don't be one of the people on the wrong side of history. I love you and I promise to pray for you tonight.

Let me ask you a question. Ok do you believe that god created everything in 7 days? Of course you don't because that would be idiotic because that is scientificly impossible, i'm sure you are smart enough to understand that. Ok so now it's been proven that some parts of the bible are a lie. What makes you so sure the part about sins isn't a lie too. Time to start using your own brains girl. Plus P.S THERE IS NO HELL it's like saying there's this land made out of chocolate how dumb can you be for believing everything people tell you girl!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do gays go so far as to have a gay church? The answer is simple: to be able to worship without discrimination or condemnation from closed-minded people such as yourself. I really think that if you would READ and PRAY about the scriptures you so handily toss out you would realize that people such as yourself are missing the entire point of the Gospel. When will you people realize that the entire purpose of Christ's visit on earth was not to condemn but to love?
Oh and btw, maybe if you learned to spell or at least use the correct words in your "question" people would take you more seriously.

I did not know that being gay and being Christan at the same time is possible. I do not think it can be in the true sense of the religion. You do not have the right to judge in god's name, but you can only judge for yourself what is right and what is wrong for your own personal standards. If you don't like gay people, don't go around them. I'm sure they feel the same way. I do not appreciate the bad scores either, my answer is just as good as any of the other ones you see. The people that did that need to look in a mirror if they want to criticize someone.

Again, you're spouting Leviticus (OLD TESTIMENT LAW) and Paul's writtings.
Paul NEVER MET Jesus! Never!
Paul admits to only having drempt of Jesus coming to him.
By todays standards, Paul was LOONEY and needed some serious psychiatric help.
I'm a CHRISTIAN in the sence that I follow Jesus' teachings NOT PAUL's.
The girl/young woman (depending on your translated version of the Bible)
Was a PROSTITUTE!
She SOLD her body for SEX!
How do you equate prostitution with a loving, committed relationship?
Where in the Bible does Jesus condemn ANYONE for having an honest, loving. committed relationship?
NOWHERE
Where do you get off equating Murders, those who TAKE THE LIVES of others, with Gays and lesbians who HARM NO ONE?
Oh, I totally got the 'just' of your first post, which is why I reported it just as I'm reporting this one for your repeated insults and harassment!

If you really decifer those Bible verses, you will realize that the Bible isn't against homosexuality in general, it is against any lustful act. e.g.: prostitution or sex with someone that you lust over, instead of someone that you love. Therefore, if a person is in a loving, committed relationship, they are not sinning. These versus have nothing to do with being homosexual or committing a homosexual act.

Why do judging Christians think they will go to heaven just because they practice every other Christian belief except for the not judging part?
Judgment is God's job. Our job is to be the best Christians we know how to be, and hope that we are found worthy.
Leave God's job to God, and concentrate on your job.

Of course, you realize that we will see you on the way for ignoring your own teachings, and preaching hatred, bigotry, discrimination and therefore violence against LGBT people.
You know, the teachings about
- not judging others
- treating others as you would like to be treated
- loving one another
What was the name of that guy who told us to follow those rules? Oh yeah, JESUS.
There is no sin in being exactly as God made you, whether that is LGBT or straight. However, condemning someone for being exactly what God made them certainly makes someone a hypocrite, if they have the gall to call themselves a "christian."
