Seeing how God decimated two cities because of rampant homosexuality. I find it hard to believe that the God who doesn't change will all of a sudden becomne accepting.

Yes, and I have performed marriages for several Gay and Lesbian couples. I have no problem. Since God has given us, Free Will.
And, question what is more of a sin homosexuality or divorce? And, it is divorce, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife. Why I rather perform marriages for Gays and Lesbians then straights.
Since, Gays and Lesbians are more faithful and are totally devoted to God.

No there is no such thing as a homosexual Christian just as there is no such thing as an alcoholic Christian, gun-smuggling Christian or a drug trafficking Christian.
A Christian is someone who is living by faith in Christ. Christ is his best friend, the theme of his most joyful emotion and the center of his affections. Therefore, whatever displeases Christ displeases the Christian. Sin is the one thing that made Christ's death necessary and the one thing that displeases Him today.
The Bible indicates that homosexuality is a sin.
Christians are not just forgiven. Christians receive power from God, which is called grace, to resist and overcome sin.
Therefore, a Christian is not controlled by sin but has the power of God to reject sinful desires, purposes and motives.
No, God does not change. However He does accept the homosexual but He does not nor should we accept any sin including homosexuality.
We accept and even love our friends or family members even if we disagree with their lifestyle or principles. That does not mean we have to embrace behavior or conduct that grieves Christ our best Friend and Savior.
Some of the greatest misunderstandings today stem from misconceptions about what it means to be a Christian.
A Christian is not controlled by the flesh. He is not perfect and may makes mistakes or even stumble but he is not following the promptings of the flesh. He is experiencing victory in Christ.
Romans 8:1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
A Christian does not live by the old standards of sin and selfishiness. He is a new person receiving new desires, new motives and new purposes from God.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

My grandson is a gay and a Christian, he's open about it and likewise is an modify server at his Episcopal Parish. Being gay does no longer recommend you may't be Christian interior the further tolerant denominations. We actually have a Bishop who's brazenly gay. Denominations like Southern Baptists and many different evangelicals do no longer tolerate homosexuality, yet there is not any longer a lot they tolerate. Their version of the religion has little resemblance ot some thing Jesus taught. Homosexuality develop into under no circumstances addressed through Christ and countless the disciples would were gay. Homosexuality isn't a sin.

The story God decimating two cities is a story. God is a forgiving god and allows for his children to make mistakes. Homosexuality is not a mistake its not a choice its who they are. People of Earth are given something very special. FREE WILL. Everyone is free of judgement until death and at which time each individual will be judged on how you lived your life.
Homosexuals are in every faith and every walk of life. They should be respected at the same level as yourself. You are not the judge.

God never changes and the act of homosexuality still offends His justice,of course there are homosexual Christians,it does not depend on your faith but your hormones,having said this, there are many homosexual people who have accepted Christ and are living celebate lives and they are to be applauded as this is no walk in the park.

Yes there is such a thing - I am one, and I know several others.
Some of my gay friends can't understand my faith, and some of my so-called Christian friends dropped me like a hot potato when I came out. My true Christian friends (and family) simply know that it's a part of me in the same way as is the colour of my eyes. Judge me on my actions, not my genes.

Yes, there are gay Christians. Christianity is a very big umbrella, my friend. Why would God not be accepting if his children who are as he made them? Why would you want to believe that he would do that to his children? If my son behaves in a manner I don't like, would I kill him and his classmates? Some loving God you're talking about. If being gay were a choice, no-one would be.

Are there christian prostitutes? Are their Christian murders? Of course, God can save anyone, but it would be expected by God and by the church that when someone became a Christian they would come out of that sin. Jesus forgave the woman taken in adultery, but said,"Go and sin no more."

I find it funny how god,s portrayal is used as a convenience and as an excuse. Acceptance or persecution is so easy when we throw god behind it.Whatever happened to simple human compassion without groups deciding that one is better than
the other.

Yes, true Christians by definiton are admitted sinners. So even if homosexuality was a sin in the NT, being a homosexual Christian is just like being any other Christian. I.E.- one who is repentent of their immorality.
