christians: and so, whats your point of view regarding homosexuality?

Question

Think people should not do it? So then try to change your heterosexuality, and then we talk.

I think all you who go and tell homosexuals not to be homosexual anymore, mind your own business.

Answer 1

I think homosexuality is a choice, I think in most cases it's brought on by a circumstance or a series of events in a persons life that causes them to question and then they move into more. I think it is probably one of the most difficult things in the world to try to change (actually I know) but I think it is possible. I think that according to scripture it's a sin mainly because it goes against the way God created humankind, but I don't think it is an easy cycle to break free from.

Answer 2

There are 3 concepts on the priority... a million) Many "christians" will say that God condemns any sort of homosexuality -- acts, concepts, identity. 2) some Christians have self assurance that's no longer a sin to "be gay", that's to perceive as gay, and that the concepts/factors of interest are organic... besides the shown fact that, God is against any gay acts. it is the respected Catholic place. 3) some Christians have self assurance homosexuality is a organic version of the human species, and as such isn't condemned out right. what's condemned is male prostitution, and comparable gender sexual relatives alongside with idol worship. Loving, dedicated, monogamous relationships are no longer condemned. basically like different factors of Scripture, no longer each and every faith has the comparable attitude to this concern... the question you ought to ask your self, after learn and prayer, is what do you think?

Answer 3

You have asked a question about what someone else thinks or believes (their point of view) and by the same token, you are telling people what to do based upon their answer? Why do you ask if you will make the conclusions also? Personally, "I" don't have an answer - the Word of God says that the 'act' in itself is an abomination and is considered sin. All sin that is not laid before God through Jesus (who died for all sin) and confessed and turn away and forgiven will lead to death. The Word of God says that God hates the sin, but loves the sinner. We do not have the power to 'fix' people or judge. All we are commanded to do is love each other the way Jesus loves us. That is all. Therefore, I can change no man or woman, I can only love them and see them with Jesus standing in front of them and in front of me - as the mirror - not me.

Answer 4

Do you really want to know my point of view? It doesn't sound like it. You asked, so I'll tell you.
When I was little, my favorite Uncle was homosexual. I didn't even know what that was. I just knew that he was wonderful to me, I loved him very much. After he died, I began to ask questions, about his "difference", everyone kept saying in front of me that his sin killed him. I was 11. I could not believe that people could be so cold and mean about this wonderful man that had been such an inspiration to me. I didn't think his choice of who he wanted to sleep with was a big deal. And I certainly didn't believe his "sin" killed him; AIDS did. It took me a long time, to come to believe what I do. I have friends who are. I have coworkers who are.(Im a hairstylist) I have numerous relatives who are. A few years ago, my younger cousin came to me, and asked me if I think it's wrong to be gay. I knew she was asking me because she is. I'll tell you the same thing I told her; It says in the Bible that it is not right. It doesn't make you any less in my eyes, though. I believe we are all born into the same nature; the nature of the flesh. That makes all of us vunerable to any sins. I dont think God holds it against you, if you dont know it's wrong; he judges our hearts. I can understand how someone can feel they are born that way. We are all born "that way", and that is your vunerablity, mine is different. I cant judge you, it's not my job. I love you, and I believe God loves you. If at some point God instills in your heart, that you should not do that, then it's up to you to listen. We are all vunerable in different areas, and those are the areas that we have to try the hardest to to lean on God to help us in. I dont hate someone just because they are homosexual, that would be ludicrous. The reason why God gave us instructions for how to live, was for our benefit, not His. There are many verses in the Bible pertaining to various different things that we are told to not do. Because it harms us. We are not suppose to be lazy, or overeat, or have sex before marriage. All these things are good advise; and if youve done any of them, you know why. I have, and now I wish I hadn't, because they have consequences. The Bible is a guide for right living. It is the correct arrangement of things. For life more abundant, which is what any good father wants for their child. Im not going to tickle your ears, that's not my job. You may not like my answer, but you asked, so I have been honest with you. I do not shove it down anyones' throat. If someone asks me how I feel I will tell them, if not, you'd never know.

Answer 5

*does a random dance* w00t! My church/fellowship is a place where people of any religion and culture can worship, and no one judges. I learned at an early age that it doesn't matter if you're homosexual, bisexual, or herterosexual. Whenever I try to explain my church to my friends, they give me a weird look. (Unitarian Universalism is a hard religion to explain!) So now, I say it's a "church full of liberals", or that it's a "hippie church". People are really suprised when I say that you can come in with your pajamas on and no one will look twice!

Some witty replies to derogatory terms that people use:
Homo- Reply: Yes, thank you for reminding me that I am a human. (this one usually requires explaining that human=HOMOsapien. But the look on their face is worth it!)
Gay- Reply: (Depends on mood) "Yes, I am very happy right now, thanks for noticing!" or "No, I'm not the happiest right now."
Fa ggot- Reply: "I didn't realize I was a bundle of sticks. I'll make sure to stay away from fire from now on! You're a real lifesaver!"
F ag- Reply: No, I'm not cancer on a stick/cigarette. You might want to get your eyes checked! (In England, f ag is a cigarette as well as a derogatory term for being homosexual.)

Answer 6

Why do you care for an honest answer? Doesn't sound like it. The only reason for a Christian to tell someone not to be homosexual, is because they know what the Bible says about it and they care about you. Living a homosexual lifestyle according to the Bible is an abomination. That's exactly what it says. If you want to argue about, or if you don't believe what it says, then live your life the way you want. You won't know if you were wrong or not until you die and are faced with eternity. Are you willing to risk an eternity of hell because you chose to live the life style you wanted rather than the will of God for your life? The problem is, you won't know until it's too late. Are you willing to risk it?

Answer 7

It is not my place to judge. We must all appear before God on bended knee and be held accountable for what we did or did not do.
However I will say that I believe that God never wanted for men to sleep with men and women to sleep with women because procreation would be impossible. We are created to procreate. If not; why do you carry your seed within you?
What's the need of your sexual organs? They were created for more than your physical pleasure.
Another example; God said He never wanted divorce but when sin (as such) was introduced people committed adultery, fornication, bestiality and the likes. People took the natural use of the body and began to use it for the unnatural use.

Answer 8

I don't think it's anybody's business what sexual orientation you are. The only problem I have with some homosexuals is that they define themselves purely by their orientation. I don't walk around telling everyone how straight I am. You're gay, so what?

Answer 9

I am Christian and think if you are homosexual then it's your problem with God not mine.. we are all sinners.. pick your sin.. but I heard something interesting yesterday.. supposedly there's a new "shot" the mother can take that will ensure her that her child is straight... and this further proves that you are born homo or hetero... if you are born this way, then it cannot be a sin.. it can only be a sin if it is a choice.. I just thought that was interesting.

Answer 10

Bottom line... The single human life can be sacrificed for the collective. They just need a reason, the Bible gives them many.
