In the midnight hour, I woke to a thought that I came to this thread being a person undergoing a renewed life in Christ, expecting to "convert" people based on logical truth, and I have been reported because of my blantant attacks upon those who have the God given right to choose their path. In India, once a year people can marry a god and for one day the transgendered are free, they can do whatever they please while parading the streets with a man made god erected to stand high above the people. But being human, we have no right to "wound" you with our words, yet understand there will always be contention between christians and "LGBT'S" Though I will never agree, I would love my child if she was ever to choose this lifestyle, and I will continue to answer questions, but I felt that I should make a "public act of repentance" You have the right to live, to choose and to love under the grace God has given us, and yes Christ loves you as well as loving the rest of the worlds people.

Yes, I will forgive you, and if you ask and repent, our Heavenly Father will forgive you. We are commanded to forgive, and I mean truly forgive, not just saying the words. We are also to forgive if we want forgiveness from God.
If I may, without offense, comment on "expecting to convert people based on logical truth." No one can "convert" without the power of the Holy Ghost. They may understand our viewpoint, but to understand and know only comes from the Holy Ghost.
As Christian, we want to share the Good News. We should act when prompted by the Spirit. Attempting to convert everyone is wrong. If people do not want to listen, you are wasting your time and people are feeling your attack. A majority of the contention between Christians and others, including other Christians, is the pushiness and judgmental attitude we have.
Share the message with those who want to know. Share your viewpoints without condemning. I wish you the best!

Of course yes!!
Every christian does forgive and must forgive, not for the sake of the offender only, but simply because God commands it. It is a christian duty to live a life of forgiveness.
God loves you and may he bless you for that.

There is nothing so great that Jesus cannot forgive.
