I want to apologize to all homosexuals in here who have been mistreated by the Christian community for far too long. I also want to dispel the myth that every Christian hates gays. It is unbiblical for me to not love my neighbor as myself. With that being said...do you ever think the church can shake itself of all the harm it has done to the gay community?

Christians don't hate homosexuals (well some do but I'm not sure they are real Christians). Christians should not judge anyone because everyone is a sinner. But Christians also know that homosexuality is a sin and that you can't enter heaven with your sins.
When Jesus said whoever is without sin cast the first stone, he also said to the prostitute, "go and sin NO MORE".
While I love homosexuals, I have no problem saying that they can't be saved unless they repent. The same thing goes for heterosexuals, they can't be saved unless they repent of their sins.

Just because people stand up for what the Bible says is right does not mean that gay people are hated by Christians. Jesus Himself put people straight, whatever sin they committed.
We should be like Jesus, hate the sin but love the sinner.

I don't hate gay people. They too are children of God. I don't like their choice or agree with it, but I don't hate them. I think that they should not be discriminated against on most things- home ownership, jobs, those sort of things. Basically any rights that a non married hetrosexual couple have, should be afforded to gay people as well. Hatred is a terrible thing.
I resent being called hateful just because I don't agree with somebody's choices.

Yep, Jesus loves the sinner but not the sin. Trust me God shall be vindicated. The church has in some cases done more harm than what the devil has done. Well the devil is working behind the scenes but that makes it worse for the church to do stuff claiming it in the name of the Lord.

I think its a very wrong to hate homosexuals. Its wrong to hate anyone. We are taught as Christians to love our neighbor as our brother. We are also taught to hate the sin not the sinner. Just because we are taught that something is a sin, does NOT give us the right to judge or condemn that's God's job.
Also, God loves everyone unconditionally.

As a believer we are not to judge an unbeliever. If that person becomes a believer and claims to be a brother in Christ and does not turn from his sexual orientation. God's position on this topic is clear in Romans 1:26 &27. If a person continues to sin we are to then cast them out of our midst with the intent that they will know their ways are not God's ways and come to repentance then we accept them back in. This is clear in the bible and is a tough issue. I personally hate no one. I want all to come to salvation in the true God not what everyone else wants him to be just to justify himself.

The only reason I hate gay people now is not my culture, or religion or beliefs.. but it's because the only one I met was trying to......and he knew I am not a gay. I wonder if all of them are sex crazed and do not respect others.

Well done. A true Christian. Didn't think there was alot of you around. You encourage me to rethink my view of Christians. God will surely smile on you. God helps those that help themselves. Go for it.

of course Jesus loves everybody, but in the Bible it clearly states that the lifestyle gay people chose is totally forbidden, you can love the person, but not their deeds or sin
