Does God hate you if your gay, lesbian, or bisexual?

Question

Does God hate gay, lesbian, or bisexuals? Will he send them to hell despite if they were good people and had a good lives?

Answer 1

I am a Christian but I tend to have different views than my family and friends on things. For one thing, I believe that you have to take the Bible as a historical document, meaning you have to read it in the context or time period that it was written.

The Bible, for instance, also speaks out against women speaking in the church. During that time non Christians were actually worshipping women and practicing orgies. This doctrine was written to keep confusion out of the church.

I don't believe anyone can answer for God. I believe there is truth in the Bible that is universal for everyone. I don't believe that the focus of Christianity should ever be to decide who goes to heaven or hell. Our concepts of what heaven and hell are are probably antiquated and silly.

Noone understands truly the soul of a human being. It transcends explanation. I see God in people every day. I see God in their spirits and hearts and the way they treat one another. This includes religions and denominations outside of my own. This includes all people.

I know this is not a traditional view. I was raised very conservatively in a very religious home. Life has taught me that organized religion is not always right. I have great respect for Christians. My only criticism is the emphasis they sometimes put on "sinners".

Christ's message was to love one another, to forgive, not to judge. His message was not to judge or to call people sinners. I think in this instance his reminder to the men who were ready to stone a woman for adultery "let ye who have no sin cast the first stone" comes to mind.

Love isn't conditional.

Answer 2

God doesn't hate anyone. Who's hellbound is entirely His decision. I'm not qualified to make the decision for Him. Neither is anyone else on earth. Living in sin seperates us from God. Are gays seperated from God? Well, God doesn't save or condemn groups. He saves or condemns individuals. As I understand the Bible, homosexuality is a sin so this would form a barrier between God and the homosexual. I would want to overcome this to make sure there's NOTHING between me and God. But I'm not gay. I do, however, overeat all the time. This is a sin, too. I'd better get off this blame computer and start working on this.

Answer 3

No g-d does not hate gay, lesbian, or bisexual people.
And we are not separated from g-d in any way. We are part of g-d thus you can not be separate.

And since g-d made people gay, lesbian, and bisexual, it would be ridiculous not to love them as much as everyone else.

People make the assumption that being gay, lesbian, or bisexual is a choice. You can not choose whom you fall in love with. I think promiscuity is a mistake and is unhealthy, but for monogamous couples what difference does it make who loves whom?

We are suppose to be kind to each other. Not spend our time trying to harm each other.

Peace to all

Answer 4

Well it is true that God loves all and has commanded His servants to love. Jesus backed this up when he said at Matthew 22:37 "He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself." However, the love here is agape love. This greek word for love is a principle love for all. This love moves one to want to help others and feel empathy for their situation. However, this love is not philia. This love is a love that makes one want to draw in someone into his person and be a close companion. This would be toward those who also love our heavenly father Jehovah God and follow His commandments. Psalm 97:10: “Hate what is bad.” A person who hates what is bad would consider it wrong to be entertained by things that God abhors. 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 says "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, 10 nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom." Notice that it is not just homosexuality that God hates, but also drunkeness, greed, adultery, and fonication (any sex outside of marriage). So while we are taught to love all, even those who practice these things, we are also taught to hate these practices. Some may say that homosexuality has its a inborn tendency and how could a loving God deny this to someone who feels this way? Well, to illustrate, some have the inborn tendency to rage and anger, but does this give them the right to be violent? No. Also, think of all those who are not able to have sex that homosexuals. Think about those who are not married either because of choice or cannot find a mate. Think about those with spouses with medical conditions that impair them sexually. All these people have to also refrain from fornication. Yet, with a relationship with Jehovah God, and their fellow Christians, they still lead happy lives. Notice what 1 Corinthians 6:11 says " And yet that is what some of YOU were. But YOU have been washed clean, but YOU have been sanctified, but YOU have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God."

God would never condemn good people. But as Jesus said, "No one is good but One, that is, God." and "There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins." Ec 7:20

Those who practice sexual immorality are by definition sinners - not "good" people. As for the sexually immoral it is written, "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 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 1Cor 6:9,10

Answer 8

Christians hate you.

God does not exist.

By the way, all the Christians will now pile in saying they "hate the sin, not the sinner". This is the biggest lie in the world.

Answer 9

God does not "hate" gay people. it is a sin to be gay though. the bible says "God made man and woman to be together and if that shalln't be, sinfullness is around" my bible says that right under the cover under "marage and relationships". good luck finding it!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

If you lead a good life, you will enter heaven through the big doors.
