As parents hate the bad things that their children do, they still love their children. Parents may be angry, but do forgive. God treats us the same. He has set rules for our behavior, etc; and when we break these rules, we lose fellowship with him. BUT, we need only ask for his forgiveness, and turn away from the behavior, and he quickly forgives us. Isn't this easy to understand ?

Exactly, its called unconditional love... God's agape style of love. Many don't see nor understand God's love for His creation. Humans think in the labeling of sin... from worse to bad to its ok. Sin is sin to the Father, He does NOT label sin as man labels sin. Many Christians look upon homosexuality as the "worse" sin of all. But, if that be so, why then does the Bible only mention this 12 times where men lay with men, four times where their women turn to other women? How many times do we read about the heterosexuals sin of adultery? At least 33 times we read about adultery from Genesis through Revelation. So, which is really the worse of the two? They both are abomination ... they both are sin. How about lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, gossiping, and war mongers, God haters, and slanderers to name a few, all are a representation of abomination.
A true believer who says they are not a sinner deceive them self and the truth is not in them... 1 John 1:8 tells us this. In 1 John he is talking to believers not non believers. We all fall short of the glory of God. Not one of us is any better than the next person. WE are saved by grace.. but we don't have a free ticket to go and sin. The human in us is what sins... its up to each individual to allow their spirit inside to over power their flesh.
And yes, upon asking forgiveness of our sins, they are washed clean. We all sin daily, even those sins we don't even know about. God loves the sinner but not the sin. Why can't humans do the same?

completely elementary to understand. yet what in case you: a million) don't be counted on God. 2) do not have self assurance in the Christian God. 3) don't be counted on particular viewpoints of the Christian faith. 4) do not have self assurance that God's will replaced into to sentence homosexuality; that replaced into the spin placed onto His be conscious because it replaced into placed to paper. 5) only do not have self assurance homosexuality is undesirable in any respect. Then what? to boot to, why are you making use of Yahoo! solutions once you do not ask a actual question?

Yes you are crystal clear, and could not be any more gracious.
The thing is I believe: Sin wants to be in power. The homosexual agenda is running at warp speed, being pushed as never before. Hollywood is going to make us Christians accept gays or else dismiss us as one of your answerer's; label us as "close minded bigots" Homosexuality is just the sin of the day. I don't know which one will be next but it will be a little more perverse. "evildoers will grow worse and worse" We want everyone to love us as we want to love everyone. You are very gracious and loving. Sometimes we just have to not cast our pearls before swine. It's difficult, and His mercy covers multitudes of sins. God Bless

Good point Sis. We are covered by Jesus blood when we sin. The danger of loosing fellowship with the Father comes when we cleave to sin or continue to practice that which we know is wrong.

Spoken like a true, believing Christian !!
Always happy to see positive things about God
without all the God-bashing non-believers think of.

So are you advocating homosexuality or denouncing it? You don't specify in your question.
All you asked was if we understand that God forgives.
Yes I understand God forgives.

Hmmm, well the difference is, any parent worth a darn would accept their gay child and not make them feel bad about themselves. It will be a funny day when you die and find there is nothing, or better yet. I am wrong, there is a god, and he shuns you for being a closed minded bigot.
