Fred, there is a difference between judging and speaking out the truth. The Bible says homosexuality is wrong, I am not making a judgment, that is what the word of God says. Period. I am not judging the homosexual person, but my Bible says that they will not enter the kingdom of Heaven unless they repent. It's not me saying it and making a judgment, it's God. If you don't like it, take it up with him.
I'm sorry, but you're wrong. My sister is gay so I know what you're going through, but God doesn't support those feelings in any way shape or form.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders...
It doesn't get much plainer than that. I have heard all the arguments...
God made me that way
-No he didn't. Why would God intentionally make his child a way that would cause him to be hurt and persecuted his whole life? Why would God give you desires for a man when he makes it clear in his word that behavior of that sort is unacceptable? Doesn't make sense.
I was born this way
-You're right, you were. We are ALL born with a sinful nature. Some of us become thieves, others murderers, others adulterers, others liars, others homosexuals...we're all born with the potential to sin in those sorts of ways...we decide, whether consciously or unconsciously to sin in those ways. There had to be a time when you chose to act on those homosexual desires you had...you chose to have sex with a man. The enemy gave you those desires and you acted on them despite what God said about them. You made a choice. Did you choose to have those desires? No, but did you choose to act on them 100% YES.
It feels right so it must be okay...
-Wrong...the Bible says the human heart is deceitfully wicked and cannot be trusted. A man might cheat on his wife with another woman, he might love the other woman...but does that make it right? Does that change the vows he made to God and his wife? Is it acceptable that his wife's life and his children's life will be damaged because of his choice that he made because it "felt right"...no, it isn't alright.

I personally am not for it for one reason: it's only physical it seems and I don't consider that real love. You can have sex with anyone and there are FAR more preferences then being gay.
Such as pedophilia, incest, beastiality. The point is, you can like anything as long as it feels good. Doesn't make it right though. The only way I'd ever really consider being gay something real (same way with "straight" love too) is if you have morals and don't just f*ck everyone you can.
That's all I ever see of gays is that they like to have sex with other men. That's not love in my opinion. That's basically animal instinct I guess you could say.
And no, I'm not just bashing gays, I'm bashing everyone who thinks it's ok to have as much sex as you can before finding your true love/ soulmate.
Porn's sick.
Most of what's on tv is sick.
Incest is sick.
Pedophilia is sick.
Homosexuality is sick.
Heterosexuality is sick.
Feel free to message me if you wish, I'm not a hater and I'm capable of a more sentient thought than "I hate gays!"

You are not judged or "bashed" because you love a man. There is no shame in love of any kind. Love between all people is whole supported by God. It's clear in the bible that God wants us to love one another, (regardless of what sex they are) ( I John 4:7, Mark 12:31).
What you are judged by is your actions. (Ezekiel 24:14). And God's word is clear that sexual immorality (that is, sleeping with someone outside of marriage) is unacceptable (Roman's 13:13, I Cor 13:20, ) and shameful (Romans 1:26-27). Weather that person you are sleeping with is a man or a woman really doesn't matter. A person that sleeps around is considered sexually immoral (in the eyes of God) regardless of if they sleep with the same sex or the opposite sex or both!
You should not be worrying about what other people think about what you do. They have their own issues that they will be judged for (by God). We ALL do. It's not for us to judge and put ourselves "above" each other. Jesus said that in that famous passage "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". (John 8:7-11).
Your only concern should be what God thinks. Nobody else. What you do, right and wrong in your life is no worse or better than anybody else.
If you feel convicted by what someone else thinks...that's YOUR problem. YOU need to get over it.

I sympathise with your situation, but God does say it's wrong in the following scripture. Mind you, he shows that in the first century there were some gay Christians that changed their ways. So it can be done, no matter how hard you imagine it to be. You've obviously just not met the right woman for you. If you pray, I know God can help you through this.
By the way, not eating shellfish was part of the Law given to Moses, which was done away with.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom. And yet that is what some of YOU were.

There are all sorts of sins, some doubtless very very much worse and not at all apparent. Gay mannerisms are rather obvious to read, so you are unfortunate in that behaviour, biblically declared as aberrant, being rather evident.
God doesn't accept any one of us because we are good from the christian view, but because we are trusting in Christ, who has borne our sin (if we have believed and confessed faith). Every christian I am aware of is sinful in some areas of their life, i.e they are a work in progress. Homosexuality is called a sin though, so if God is in your life He may try to transform your thinking to free you from it. With todays attitudes though your mind may resist that for some time, since people in general believe it is not a sin.

actual the bible does he made a man and a woman and them to be able to reproduce ......if it was meant to be two men or women would be able to reproduce...............y would god make something so gays could get together and then the world end with them....u all cant make babies ...make new life..........and if it wasnt for ppl wrongly dumpin their kids and being ignorant....or medical advances (that by the way god didint make)............then life wouldnt be able to continue...........
anyway though no matter who u r...ur judged its life get over it.......
It's like me y am I judged b/c im white (im automaticvally considered racisit yet i have plenty of black friends..........
I like to wear and proudly display a rebel flag...to show my southern pride but im judged?
ppl r ignorant, they judge what they dont know and dont understand.
Im no condoning what gay ppl do. I think it's ur choice though.
You do as u please, u cant help who u love and care about and even I can understand that. I see no problem with anyone who likes the same gender as long as they dont push their beliefs on me.
Simply look past the ppl who hate u and realize all the ppl that love u! makes for a better life.

I will not judge you but will let the NEW Testament, the law we are living unde today, show you that God does not approve of any sin, including homosexuality.
God, through Paul, makes it clear those who practice homosexuality will not go to heaven. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). The word for "homosexuals" comes from the Greek phrase which means "men having sexual relations." For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due (Romans 1:26,27). Note the words Paul uses in this passage: "vile," "against nature," "shameful," "error." These are not words of approval. In the context, Paul is discussing the unrighteousness of the Gentiles (Romans 1:18). But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine (1 Timothy 1:8-10). In verse 10, Paul mentions the "sodomite." This is the same Greek word that is used in 1 Corinthians 6:9 translated "homosexual."
All of these passages show us the way God views this practice. It is not approved, but condemned.
That is why we must repent (turn away) from our sins and ask for God's forgiveness.

God is the one judging you. And yes, He does say it's wrong. 1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10) nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. NIV

How do you know God doesn't think it is wrong? If all we have to go on is the Bible, then he does have a distaste towards the gay lifestyle. I'd like to know how you came to this conclusion; very curious.
And why do Christians judge gays? Because, they read a fairy tale and for some odd reason, believe in it.

If you can find love, go for it! No one has the right to judge you because of your sexual orientation; however, this is a very homophobic society. Kinsey's research hints that most of us are probably bisexual, but many Americans don't want to acknowledge it. It is amazing how many men are "on the downlow". Maybe one day we will have a society in which a person's race or sexual orientation won't matter. Enjoy your relationship.
