Question: "How can you CHRISTIAN sit around being lukewarm on gay behaviour ? read PAULS sermons much ?"
"I agree, but remember to love them, hate their actions. Christians we must stand up for what we know to be right...how else will we be able to face God when we pass on?"
How many of you want to be a Christian like these two?

You call correcting "love the sinner and hate the sin"? That is agreeing with the bigotry!

I'd rather go to hell... if there was one. Loving other people has nothing to do with what gender their partner is. Either you are accepting, or you've choosen not to be.
Your ability to love humanity is a choice... not a checklist.

I guess I gotta go to hell with the rest of the atheists. I'll have nothing to do with this gay bashing.

I have found that it is better to work from the positive side then to focus on the negative. I do not need to stress ONE sin over all of the others. All I need to do is to show that we have come short of what God tells us we need to do to get to heaven on our own...perfection. I do contend it is wrong to focus on one sin and forget the others. One can only think of us as homophobic if that is all we talk about. Is it OK to have sexual relations outside of marriage as long as it is with the opposite sex?
We are not told to tell people what they are doing wrong...we are told that if we lift Jesus up...HE will draw people to Him.
The focus is on Jesus ....not what others are doing wrong.
If you were going through a garbage can to find something to eat and found a half eaten moldy sandwich, and I brought you a full course home cooked hot meal, would I need to tell you all about how bad that half a sandwich is for you to want the meal? I doubt it. Present Jesus my friend..HE will do the rest.

I didn't answer that question, but when I read the answers most of the Christians were correcting the questioner for his harsh manner and tone. Or didn't you read that part?

God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to REPENTANCE. God won't give up on them, and neither would I, but that doesn't make what they do right with God.

It's terrifying, really. Really, really, terrifying. I never want to be like that. I don't need the hatred.

And they threaten us with Hell. Hell looks like a reward when you see things like this.

You should love them, not condemn them
How can you win them to Christ?
Christ came not to condemn the world but to save the world
