How can Homosexuals be christians and have faith in God if the Bible says God is against it? Aren't they going to hell, I understand God loves everyone.....but he still has rules we must abide by, correct? So how can the be true christians?

Wow, all the Christian bashers showed up for your question, didn't they? There's a thing everyone condemning Christians seems to forget and that's called "growth". We call sin in our own lives sin and strive to rid our lives of it with the Lord's help. My bible tells me in Romans 1:24 -27 that homosexuality is an abomination before God. So if I was homosexual, I would confess it as sin and ask God to forgive and cleans me of it. And thru my faith, He would. It would take alittle time but that is different than saying it isn't sin.

In many way's you are correct, although, I don't condemn an Homosexual, I know God will offer then one more opportunity, and I accept that, what I don't accept is the tendencies of such a deviation to try to recruit more adepts to their non-intelligent cause. Take note that to my knowledge, Homosexuality is the product of many so call intelligent beings, inability to be and become more intelligent because they have never giving up to the nature of their own negativity, as well that for some reasons they have been unable to loose the grip of Satan in their lives. If they repent of what they have done, and they are willing to accept salvation and practice their deviations any more, I agree that they should have another chance to become man's, in a different body, and if not, well I guess to continue their existence, some of then will become more happy in a body of a Woman?.

To respond to your question intelligently, let's first get an honest answer to this question: What is "the" Bible? Surely you cannot imagine there is only one?
The Bhagavad Gita?
The Upanishads?
The Holy Qu'ran?
The Hebrew Torah?
The Tibetan Book of the Dead?
The Book of Mormon?
The Torah plus the Prohpets and Writings?
Those plus the Psalms and New Testament?
The Avesta?
The Egyptian Books of the Dead?
Science and Health?
Dianetics?
etc. etc.
It is a tragedy that so many good and decent people are stuck in the delusion that fundamentalist Protestant ways of looking at the world are somehow the only way or are superior to all others. This prejudice nedlessly constricts their lives and blinds them to the realities of a great big wonderful world out there waiting to be discovered.

The Scriptures are inspired by Jehovah God, and benefit us a great deal when we apply the counsel in our lives. We need to be humble and realize that Jehovah God knows us better than we know ourselves. God is the creator of all life and knows what will make us happy or hurt us. If your Gay pray to Jehovah God for help and HE will help you leave this lifestyle. Men who lie with men will not inherit God's Kingdom. That goes for women with women to. God created them in the beginning male and female and they were commanded to have children, fill the earth. This is God's will. Satan attacks the way God wants the family today.

Perhaps you would be better guided to focus on your own relationship with god and living your life, instead of wondering who else may or not be going to hell.
I don't believe it's any human being's job or concern to judge another person's life. When you die, are you going to be wondering where gay people are going? Christian or not, whatever religion, or no religion at all, living to be the best person you can be is all you can do. Each minute wasted on whether someone else is holy enough is time away from being a better person.

Just as you still struggle with sin and fall under the grace of God. I will not for one minute defend homosexuality, but I too am a sinner who needs all of God's grace to spend enternity with God. It's wrong but don't forget Jesus told the crowd to let the one who is without guilt to throw the first stone. NONE DID

Thank goodness for priests that the Bible does not say anything bad about raping young boys. They got lucky on that one, just that they can not have sex with other men, but the boys are ok.
Back to reality, the Bible also states that you can sell your daughters into slavery, that you are entitled to own slaves, that you can not approach the altar of God if you wear glasses, and that you must kill anyone for working on the sabbath, to name just a few other points in the Bible. So either you take all of the Bible for fact and start selling your daughters and killing your neighbor for mowing his lawn on Sunday, or realize it is all bunk.

would it be better if the homosexuals believe in Apolo?Or Aphrodita?The Christian which is homosexual is still a student in Bible and Christianity. When he/she shall graduate he/she shall no longer be a homosexual..But ..by the way do you happen to know if according to what Jesus asks from us..must we try to convince them give up homosexuality, and teach them what they don't know?
And we all are sinners ...the one who says '' that man is mad'' goes to hell according to Jesus' teachings..

Check out ALL of the prohibitions and rules in the Bible and see if any living Christian abides by all of them.

The same way heterosexuals can be christians and have faith in God: by keeping God's commandments. We all face temptations, and all of us are imperfect. God Himself does not intend to judge us until the end of our days. Why should we presume to do so now?
