How perfect and "sin free" are your lives?

(Longish post, I beg your indulgence)
To be completely frank:
- No, I don't agree with your lifestyle (which makes me fortunate to be born heterosexual)
- But I recognize it isn't a choice for you (I'm sure you wouldn't have chosen to be ostracized / ridiculed / rejected / etc)
- We all sin (you are not special in this) and I have to deal with the beam in my eye before I can worry about the speck in yours.
- And you aren't hurting anybody else. There are much greater sins. If your conscience is clear then good for you.
- So I'm going to sit here and mind my own business (I only say something now because you asked). You're not hurting or insulting me (okay, you're a little upset with my ilk, but I don't really blame you) so I'm not gonna try to make you feel like crap or shove my views down your throat until you vomit.
-I also think the government has no business telling people who they can/can't marry. I'm a libertarian and against legislating morality
There's my $0.02

I'm a Christian and let me tell you........Not sin free or perfect at all and I'm sorry Christians judge you. They really shouldn't because God sees all sin the same. God really hates divorce and how many Christians do you see getting one? Tons I can name a few myself. God still loves them though. He forgives. My point is only God can Judge you. Everyone else just doesn't matter or have validity. Take care and don't let it burden you.

I consider myself a Christian; but I do have to disagree with the church. The church judges way too much what goes on the outside, instead of worrying about the people inside. There are so many people in churches who are hollow and lonely. People need to open their eyes to what Jesus taught us...Love your neighbor more than you love yourself. And in truth, if someone is free of sin, let them throw the first stone. And don't worry what other people think about you as long as you love yourself, that is all it matters. Christians are not going to make your life better only you have the power to decide what goes on in your life. Plus, all of our opinions should not matter, in the end God is the one with last word. Take care!

I've heard men and women name them girly however in no way homosexual. Anyway to reply the query: Its mainly considering cocktails are traditionally so diluted with juices or some thing that you'll be able to slightly style the alcohol in them hence they're very convenient to drink. They nonetheless get you under the influence of alcohol of path, however its the convenient approach out. Not to be sexist however females are traditionally viewed weaker than guys...simply pronouncing. Men drink powerful beverages like whiskey at the rocks to exhibit they are "TOUGH" and will manage a drink that places hair on their chest. Men can not believe intimidated consuming a cocktail despite the fact that, a minimum of they are consuming alcohol.

Christians like to judge everyone for everything. The funny part is that they are NOT supposed to judge yet they do. It's the whole double standard thing. Christians are so judgmental and they are hypocrites. I'd like to take a bible and hit them in the head with it.
White T. Hayden is NOT asking inflammatory questions. The questions he asks are valid.

Tell me who is more loving - the man who sees his friend in great danger and says nothing out of fear of "being judgmental" or is it the man who warns him of the trouble ahead, eventhough his friend may not want to hear the warning?
Hayden, if Christianity is true, ANYONE who prefers to live their life their way over God's way is in danger of losing their soul for all eternity -this is for the homosexual, the liar, the gossip, the hypocrite, the swindler, the prideful, etc. Jesus never said,"Clean up your lives first, then follow Me." He hung out with prostitutes, tax collectors and other "sinners." It's just that He didn't want them to stay in lives of prostitution, cheating or whatever. He said He came to seek and save the lost. I am a sinner in need of a Savior, just like everyone else on this planet.
Just like you...
I'm sorry if you feel that's judging; I think that's stating the obvious. Not because you're gay, but because you are a human being.

The answer is that my life is NOT perfect....I commit sin just like everyone else. The only difference is that I've asked God's forgiveness for my sin. I'm not saved because I am good....I'm saved because God is good.
What you choose to do with your life is between you and God. People in all walks of life....Christians and everyone else....are going to judge you for everything from your lifestyle to your hairstyle. That's human nature, to judge others with respect to ourselves. That doesn't make it right, that's just the way people are. The only way you're ever going to be at peace is if you're secure enough in your own beliefs that the judgement of others does not matter.
It is God's right to judge you, just as it is His right to judge me. God has love and compassion for people...He does not judge the man, He judges the sin. All of us have sinned and come short of the grace of God. What's important is that we recognize our faults and ask forgiveness.

How you were born matters not to me.
You are as you are.
What surprises me is the number of veiled, and not so veiled homophobic comments from the self styled devotees of the Apocalyptic Cult of "love".
These are the Christians that drive the average person away from their faith, and then take the tone of a martyr because no one will play with them.
Cruel little people.
I am sorry they think it is sport to taunt you.
I do not.
You are just another person to me.
No better, no worse.
Live well.

Christians are just as sinful as gay people. A gay is just as capable of going to heaven as a straight person. Only GOD is the judge. Just accept Christ into your heart and you have a ticket to heaven. :)

your right hayden nobody is without sin .and no one person is better than anyone else. The only one born of woman that didn't sin was Christ, and he is an equal opportunity savior. Try hard not to sin and sleep well hayden. we are all in the same boat.
