I am a Christian and I respect all religions. I love the gay people and want to help them. Are there any more Christians like me?

We can love people, but we need to hate what is bad. We are also warned in the bible that bad associations spoil useful habits.
So in order to help these persons, a person should be first qualified to teach the bible as stated by the apostle Paul to Timothy. It is reasonable to know even though when a person decides to be gay, or were born with different sexual feelings, It is no excuse to disobey Gods laws. We all have problems, and emotions, and improper feelings, and such, that we all need improvement.

Just because someone is a homosexual does not mean that we cannot love him (or her) or pray for him (her). Homosexuality is a sin and like any other sin, it needs to be dealt with in the only way possible. It needs to be laid at the cross and repented of.
Christians should pray for the salvation of the homosexual the same they would any other person in sin. They should treat homosexuals with the same dignity as they would anyone else because, like or not, they are made in the image of God. However, this does not mean that Christians should approve of their sin. Not at all. Christians should not compromise their witness for a politically correct opinion that is shaped by guilt and fear.
In fact the following verses should be kept in mind when dealing with homosexuals.
"Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person," (Col. 4:5-6).
"But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith," (1 Tim. 1:5).
You do not win people to the Lord by condemning them and calling them names. This is why God says to speak with wisdom, grace, and love. Let the love of Christ flow through you so that the homosexuals can see true love and turn to Christ instead of away from Him.

Love the gay people yes....i want to help them see that their lifestyle is sinful and evil and they can escape it through the Grace of Jesus Christ. I however have no respect for other religions...i hold nothing against their practicers but the religion itself that does not declare Jesus Christ as the the way and the life I have no use or respect for.

How can you respect a religion that you know to be false?
Secondly, how will you help gay people?
edit - Robert K gave the answer that I was looking for - thanks.

I think what most gay people want from you guys is to be left alone. So if you really want to help........just don't.
