i do believe in Jesus, i just don't consider myself a Christian. i'm a Christ Follower. a Christ Follower is not a Christian.

Jesus never said anything negative about two men loving each other.In fact he said love each other as you love me.So, if we want to take that literally, we should love without boundaries.

It's called free will. We can choose to accept God's help in our lives or we can choose to reject Him and do our own thing.
Would you rather have a relationship with someone who feels compelled by an outer force, to love you... or would you rather have a relationship with someone who chooses of their own free will to love you?
We choose God, in all of our brokenness, and when we come to him of our own free will, HE then forgives us ALL our poor choices thus far, and treats us as children as HE enables us to make the choices that are pleasing to him.... very much like any good parent - child relationship.
**EDIT** Actually you are wrong about the term "Christian." Christian was originally a derogatory term given to the first "Christ followers." Nowadays, the term does apply to all who have accepted God's forgiveness through Jesus Christ's atoning death on the cross... Maybe you should say you are a Jesus' teachings follower, instead.

He did. He got rid of all the gays. You never heard of a gay anywhere in Jesus time. Then damn soon as he was crucified they came right back. Well they had been been warned long before Jesus. They had their chance. Now they will have to do their gay best without Jesus. Yea Jesus knows what a pain in the side is. and Jesus says tough do do.

He allows people to do what they will. Like he said to the woman caght in adultery, " Go and sin no more." God doesn't force anyone to do something that they really dan't want to do. He allows people to go and attempt whatever it is that they want to so. That's the way God is.
Now just to let you know, I am a Christian, and I am Bisexual. If you trust him, he will take away the temptation, but you don't have to trust him-- it depends on what it is that you want to do.
I have put HIM before ME, and the places I go to, the things that I do have more to do with him and less to do with my lusty flesh.
Now if I go and have a sexual relationship, I know that when I am done I can always go back to him-- it's the confidence that he has taught me to have in him.
So Gay and Bi is just as bad as any form of unwedded sex, the Fundies of course would disagree, but that's thier problem, isn't it? ( ;

Because he gave people free will. The thing you are missing about him curing the sick and making the blind see is that they had faith in him. There are stories even today where people have been cured of illnesses that the doctors can't explain. That is faith.

being gay is not a sin. Jesus would love gay people just as much as straight he had no reason to rid the world of gay people.

Because life is all about free will and the choices that we make from the message of Jesus, not direct intervention.

Jesus gave us free will. there is still sickness in the world. so it is just a rebellion against God. it is a sin and people have a choice to be straight and to gay. i hope this helps you out.

This world is full of sin, and we in this world are given free will.
We are all givin a choice to sin or not to sin, to accept Christs free gift of salvation or not.

Everyone has trials in this life. Everyone has to overcome something. Being gay is just another thing someone has to deal with in their lives. If there were no trials, life would be too easy.
