Leviticus 20:13 and many other places in the Bible condemn all homosexuality as sickening to God, detestable, and abominable. It is very, very clear any student of the Bible. It is very, very clear to anyone who has the Holy Spirit. It is very, very clear to anyone who is saved. Isn't it to everyone?
I am interested to hear how homosexuals explain this to God.

I see responses from many who are going to hell, but I don't see any explanations of what you will say when you stand before God.
Oh, and to those who like to say that Christians hate homosexuals to make you feel better? We don't hate you, we do hate the homosexual act in any form.

As any thinking and intelligent person can see, homosexuality destorys the family and the very heart of God's kingdom. It is undoubtedly one of the worst deceptions of Satan...

Homosexuals who say they believe in God have invented a god by their own fallen reasoning who accepts them as they are. They don't feel they need to look in the bible which is the final authority on truth and the standard for absolute truth because they have a relative morality and don't believe in absolute right and wrong. Judgment is coming and is already here, in measure, but will be poured out without measure soon.

I am a Christian and you are the most ignorant twit I've come across in a long time. How dare you speak for God? And what Christian actually follows the OT? Didn't they tell you that a new version specifically for Christians came out 2000 years ago? Leviticus was written in old times. It's thousands and thousands of years later. Things change with the times. God expects us to grow and listen without judgment. The word "homosexuality" is never even mentioned in the Bible and those who have bothered to read any of the original scripts would know that. Yes, there's the man lying with another man thing but so too was there stoning of babies, marrying the women you raped, not wearing two blends of fabric, and lots of other Biblical ideas that have evolved with time. God would be happy with this.
My family knows a few gay couples who love Christ just as much as any other Christian. We do not hate them nor do we think their lifestyle is a sin. The 10 Commandments certainly don't mention it. Lust is very different - it is wanting someone solely for sex and nothing more. Homosexuals don't think like that any more than you or I do. This idea that Satan is interfering is ridiculous. Just because there are gay people doesn't mean that people won't reproduce. Not everyone is gay! Also, do you ever act like a REAL Christian and read or do anything about all the poor, hungry, abandoned children who need to be adopted? Why is it so difficult to adopt them? Isn't that very UN-Christian? Adoption should be easier for everyone, gay, straight, or in the middle.
What's an abomination here is you selecting bits and pieces of the Bible you wish to be true, and even utilizing Leviticus as some realistic source. Get it together, man! Evolve! Jesus was kind and loving. You're the one who may be hellbound for treating others so awfully and blaspheming God.

You are one horribly sick person. I live in The Castro district of San Francisco and I personally know several families with two mommies or two daddies. They are loving families, and the children are well adjusted and very well cared for.
The Old Testament is an abomination against humanity. The God of that book has worse morals than you or I do. If you choose to accept that homosexuality is an abomination because Leviticus says so, then why do you not also follow every other law in the Old Testament? Have you put anyone to death for working on the 'sabbath'? Do you condone slavery, including selling your daughters into slavery?
It is because of people like you that I am here. You are probably too far delusional to be persuaded to become a humanist and drop the sick parts of your twisted belief system, but if I can help convince even one person who might have been tempted to side with you to reject your sick views, then I can feel I have helped made the world a better place.

Hmm, I wonder if I have been duped by a troll. Poe's law anyone?

I also recommend everyone who is unclear on whether the Old Testament is immoral to watch the clip here:

I don't believe you, you are just to ignorant and bigoted for words. Would you please explain to me just how homosexuality destroys the family, any family, how does it affect you in any way except in your own bigoted mind.
So of course NOT everyone here believes that crap, some may, but not all. What is it about you people and homosexuality, are you closet gays? Are you afraid that you might be gay? But not to worry,there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with homosexuality, it is totally natural. If you believe that your god is perfect, then why would he condemn people he made in his own image? No one has to explain anything to you or your god, since your god is totally irrelevant. And Satan is a figment if christianity's sick and distorted imagination.

Leviticus condemns a specific ACT, not a state of being. After all, there are also commandments against heterosexual acts, does that mean heterosexuality is 100% wrong and against G-d?
Another place in Leviticus states that it is an abomination to eat shellfish.. do you keep kosher? If not, why not? You cite Leviticus to support your homophobia, are you going to hide behind the "Jesus saved me" screen when you don't want to follow another part of Leviticus?
The only thing that is very, very clear is that you are looking to make G-d hate the same things that you do. Sorry, it doesn't work like that.

Just like lying ,stealing and murder,,they all are all wrong,,to say one is worse than the other would be a lie...Lets show love to everyone and not tell them about thier sins,,I guess when we lived in sin we didn't want it pointed out to us either..The fact is God loves each one of us and He desires to have a relationship with all His children...God Bless...

Well I understand your point. I mean God hates those who eat shellfish. How do shrimp eaters explain their relationship with God? And, I saw someone eating crabs, and I know he is going straight to hell. As you said, look at Leviticus 11:9-12 which states " These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you."
And AGAIN in Deuteronomy 14:9-10 it says:
9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
There is more about shellfish eaters than homos. Do YOU eat shellfish?

I don't think it's the way God intended us to be but then again he didn't intended for us to be sinners of any kind, and even though I don't support the life style I still support the person. It's to big of an issue...i leave it for the homosexual and God to work out.

the bible doesn't define what it classifies as "homosexuality" it sounds like when one of the people involved is of the same sex and UNWILLING.
But really, this is the 21st century, homosexuality should be allowed, we dont have to live by the rules in the 70's. Years ago women couldn't vote, black people didn't have equal rights, all those have been changed.
Plus isn't it true God made us exactly how he wanted us?? So he makes soem of us homosexual and then they're sinning? I just dont understand how they say dont change yourself God loves you, then they say, you have to change or else your sinning.

NO. Sorry. How can people say "I think" and the "Bible says", and start quoting scripture. You didn't think, right there. YOU didn't think. Dictating to the world what is right and just and nevermind how hurtful that is. People, your unbending.
Homosexuals don't have to explain anything to your God. Many homosexuals are Christian. Perhaps tomorrow one will sit next to you and you can work this one out.
Boy, don't you sound charming with all your righteous statements.
