Thanks for joining us in the fight against LGBT bigotry, hatred and prejudice!
Yes, you are right, people who claim to be "christian" and then spew such hatred really are hypocrites.
Of course I agree that God makes people LGBT or straight, and both are just variations of sexual orientation, neither being more "right" or "moral" than the other. Yes, we are agreed that sexual orientation does not change over time, is not a "choice," and does not need to be "cured."
Which PFLAG chapter do you belong to?

Well, a lot of LGBT feel that Biblical judgment of the homosexual lifestyle affects their day-to-day lives, in that they do not share the same rights as straight couples and cannot marry because their love isn't morally recognized as legitimate. So, until this isn't the case and religion doesn't affect their rights, they are going to take offense.

I agree that the bible says homosexuality is unnatural abuse of the body and a sin. However, I stop short of saying anyone is going to go to hell for it. Only God can determine that. ALL sin is a stench in his nostrils. There are no greater or lessor sins.
Paul lived with a thorn in his side, spiritually. Who knows what it was. I'm not even remotely suggesting that his "thorn" was homosexuality. However, he said that God's grace is sufficient, and that if we confess our sins he (Jesus) is faithful and just to forgive.
I would that all homosexuals cease that sin. However, I am not God. He will have mercy on whom he will have mercy and I have no problem with that. If homosexuals will be gathered around the throne of God, then amen.
I, saved, but a sinner will be there too and it will not take away from my joy or God's glory!
In the meantime, just tell the word or God. It is sharper than a two edged sword. You aren't hatefilled for pointing out that the bible says that homosexuality is an abomination to God. Just remember that all sin is so and pray for those who are confused.
The peace of God be with you.

Doesn't the Bible say that you shouldn't judge or try to determine who is worthy and who is not? Doesn't the Bible also say that God will be the judge of all souls?
Yet, for some mysterious reason, you seem to be under the impression that God, who is perfect if you can remember, needs your help judging.

Well, the way Bible believers see it, take this analogy:
"You stand in the middle of the road and there's a truck coming to hit you, a person (the Christian) shouts at you from the side of the road that a truck is coming to hit you, and you shout back that you don't believe in trucks, it does not mean the truck is NOT going to hit you, does it?" Its out of a concerned heart that you (assuming we are talking about you) are being told that you are sinning.

If you are not judging then who decides homosexuality is a sin? i dont think the bible says that a man and man or woman and woman can not be together in a relation ship. You are interpreting the bible the way you would want to and using god's name
