I can. I don't care if you "gay is a choice" morons believe it or not, but I just hit puberty and found myself attracted to men. I accept it that there are idiots out there who will never understand this. I have accepted losing jobs because of my sexuality, I have accepted the fact that people will assault me, hate me judge me and criticize me, and I accept that if there is a hell, I am going. However I do know my bible, and a sin is a sin in thought word and deed, correct? The bible says that being gay is a sin, but it also says that "whatsoever you do to the least of (Christ's) brothers that you have done unto him." Judging is a sin, be it in thought word or deed. When you judge you place your own judgements above God's. Thou shalt have no other gods, especially not yourselves. Repentence is not a simple "I'm sorry God!", it's a solemn oath never to commit the same sin again, but when you commit these sins in thought word and deed, you aren't even sorry--you don't think you have done

anything wrong. You can lie to yourself and your fellows as much as you like, but you don't control who god condemns. I can accept it that I am going to hell, can you? I will see you there, and I won't be surprised

ummmm.... sweetheart!... the bible is full of lies written by humans to control humans.... don't you get it?
why would God create you and then proclaim that it's a sin that you are gay?...
God never inspired the bible!!
live your life carefree.... life is too short to worry about crap like this.... you are young, so have fun!!

Actually, I am a Christian and I don't judge any one. I have friends who are gay. I still love them. I don't feel it's my place to judge. The only one without sin shall cast the first stone. And that's definitely not me. It's also no one else in the world. The only one who can judge is God himself. I'm sorry if people who claim to be Christian are treating you this way. To be honest, I think someone who is gay but asks God's forgiveness and really tries to abstain from the life can still go to Heaven. I had a cousin who was so good to my brother and I when we were little who was gay and died from aids. I truly hope he is in Heaven. I won't know the answers to many of my questions till I get there myself.

My friend, God has made you the way you are. It is only the Christian way of thinking and the pratices of socity that says it is wrong. There was a time when attraction to one of the same sex was considered natural. It is only the judo-christian-muslim world that rules that says it is wrong. There are more ways to live on in the after life than just what the bible says.
There are churches out there that preach that love know not gender. Look up the Unitarian Universalist. http://www.uua.org/aboutuu/
If you want to accpet what the fundies say then expect to go to hell.. If you want to celebrat a closeness to god with the one you love without fear of reprisial, hate, and discrimination, look into more liberal chruches or beleif systems.

not to be rude or anything but i really understand you and i do feel bad for you. i think that yes the bible does say that but we really truly dont know if that is 100 percent true. dont say "i know in my heart im going to hell" you will always have a time to repent and to be forgivin. if you think about it, the people that taunt you and humiliate you are the ones who are going to hell. you have a much better chance of going to meet god. the bible also says that people should not judge others. dont keep this picture in your mind that you are going to hell. live your life to the fullest beacuse you only have one. whatever happens in the end will happen. i hope i have givin you some hope on your subject. god bless you!

Either everyone is going to be accepted into Heaven, or everyone is going to hell. Even the most religious person has sinned...It would be foolish to think someone in this world has not sinned. You are at your most innocent as a young child, and I'm sure now everyone is probably going to hell. There is no in between, and you are right there are idiots out there who will undoubtedly criticize you and whatever, just forget them as I'm sure they are very "perfect" people.

"Can you accept it that you're going to hell?" - I'd have to - being that I am dead and GOD has spoken.
While I am alive I live to be the best I can, but after I die - there's nothing I can do but accept what is written in the book about my life.

The soul has no sex. One is born many lifetimes, sometimes as man, sometimes as woman. We are all bi-sexual, most don't have the integrity to admit it.
Celebrate life dear, and never mind what they say.
It's nobody's business what goes on in your bedroom unless you invite them in there!

i,m straight and even i hate that saying, because people don,t think of how other people become gay, so they don,t know any thing to judge someone, there,s other ways of getting aids, like some one donating blood, or some one using a needle to rob a bank.

words from an old billy Joel song comes to mind...I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saint's. sinners are much more fun and only the good die young
