you practice divorce by going to a lawyer and practicing all little mean tricks you can to get as much money as possible for your former "significant other"

Divorce is not a sin. Never is it called a sin in the bible.
What is a sin, is most often what happens after a divorce.
One or both of the parties to the marriage, either remarries or commits adultry. That is the sin, divorced or not.
Biblically, divorce is not open season to find another to have sex with. If you divorce, you are to remain celibate until such time as you find your way back to one another, if that is possible. If not, you are to remain celibate, and no sin would be committed.
Homosexuality would be the exact same. Do not commit the act and you have not sinned. Yes, committing the act in your heart is the same as committing the act in the physical sense.
Your heart must be sickened at the thought of committing the sin, and sickened at the knowledge that you have failed to keep Gods will and way in your life.
I never found following God to be easy, but I do find it to be the absolute truth.

According to the Bible, there is only one reason to divorce - and that is infidelity by one's mate. Those that speak about hating divorce may have experienced that very reason - I did, and yes, I hated getting divorced. I think that if we follow our Lord's ways, we will see that divorce can happen, we know that homosexuality happens, but, we do not want to be a promoter of those sins. I guess it's up to God to judge those who speak that way and don't walk the walk, just talk the talk.

I became a Christian after I was married. When I started changing my lifestyle and stopped drinking, stopped watching violent or adult movies, stopped cussing, stopped listening to vulgar music, my husband didnt like new person in Christ I was. I stopped hanging out with my gay best friend, and had new friends. So my husband and some family members pushed me out of their lives so they could continue to live like they wanted. So sometimes, the husband or the wife does not like the changes and doesnt make the commitment at the same time as the spouse and the decision to follow Jesus divides families. I am glad I have endured to follow Jesus. I dont want to be how I was before. God is first. I still pray for him and hopefully he will see that the things he prefers are temporal and lead to destruction in the end. Perhaps he will one day be saved.
I dont hate anyone. I dont think the gay lifestyle is right but those people still need our love and prayer and to know that we dont have to accept their lifestyle in order to love them and pray for them.

Well... I hate divorce and dont ever plan on practicing it. I would say its only fair to assume that the majority of those who hate it, don't practice it and those who do, don't hate it. Sometimes though, even when you hate something you have to do it... like paying taxes, dying, root canals and so forth. Most people dealing with divorce, wish they didnt have to. Wish there was a better sollution. But sometimes there isnt.

Start your own church than. You don't have to go to church to feel like a christian uno. Divorce is sometimes acceptable because of cheating and the hardness of your heart. Maybe some christians, among others, just have a hardened heart against homosexuality as well. Get over it.

what i think they mean is that they hate the concept of divorce. Everyone does, you know. Divorce results in slamming doors, lawyers, child custody, that sort of stuff. but in actuality, when they just can't take the other person anymore, it's ok. and it is quite different from homosexuality. and i am sure there are christians who are homosexuals...just not a lot.

First, I don't know anyone who says they hate divorce but still do it...willingly. Maybe they hate divorce but their spouse doesn't....
So think of your question like this...do some Christians hate homosexuality, but still have to do it because someone else wants to?
That's nonsense...it's not their fault that they went through divorce(unless they were the ones that astarted it...then it's no tthe other persons) so you can't nesscessarily base it on that.

Good question. This does not mean that it is never wrong. Divorce is sometimes necessary, for some persons, as much as I hate to say it. Can't speak for Homosexuals.
By the way, there is
NO
such a person as a
HOMOSEXUAL CHRISTIAN.

Sometimes you don't have a choice. In an abusive marriage, you need to divorce or perhaps be killed. Sometimes, one person just leaves. What are you gonna do?
