Adara: Are you saying God is a homophobe, because it certainly sounds like that is what you are saying, maybe what you really mean is that you detest homosexuals and you are homophobic.

I don't hate gays. I have gay friends but that doesn't mean I support their sexual lifestyle. I believe that God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Adam or Eve and Eve and he told them to be fruitful and multiply. So that means he meant for there to be a man and woman. The only way gays could do that would be using a third party. God's plan is pretty clear if you follow is teachings.

That's like asking why couldn't Hitler and Jews be friends?
How can Christian heterosexuals accept my differences if they actively believe me to be in league with the devil?
I'm a lesbian agnostic/atheist, and most Christians hate what I am.
In short they hate that I seek:
1. Freedom from their dogma.
2. Acceptance for my gender orientation. I can't change it. And I don't want to remain celibate or deny love.
3. Not to be equated with murderers, rapists, thieves and paedophiles.
I am friends with some Christians, so don't assume all Christians are bigots. Not all Christians burn witches or lock up 'demonic children' anymore. Not all Christians persecute Jews like they did 100 years ago...
But the Bible stayed the same....go figure...

Gays have tried to be friends with Christians but they don't play well with others.

I'm sure Jesus would approve of how much time energy and even money some Christians put into fighting Gay marriage while all that time, energy and money could have done so much good where really needed...like feeding starving children??
And I'm sure that God spends all his/her time worrying about how and with who people have sex.....I mean if he existed which I don't think he does.
The worst Gay-hating Christian fundies are probably gay anyway, why else would take it so personally.

I don't think it's just Christians. I think it's generally straight men and gay men. Christianity is just the last resort attempt to legitimize heterosexism.
To Adara, that's the same type of argument as "I support the troops, but not their cause." Love the sinner but not the sin? See how that goes over with a gay person. It just doesn't work out.
And to the other ridiculous post: More straight people in this country have anal sex than gay people. I don't see you condemning straight people.

the problem is that,in Leviticus chapter 18,the Lord tells Moses to tell the people of Isreal not to have sexual relations with people of the same sex.this is why lots of christians find it hard to accept gay people.
during the time the Isrealites left Egypt there were not as much as they used to be,so it is possible that God wanted them to reproduce and gain their numbers back and obviously,you couldn't do this with people of the same sex.
i am a christian and i do not have problems with gay people.
But let me make this clear,no one is born gay,it is a choice of life.

True Christians may love the one being "gay" but they do not sit down to a meal with such ones. You cannot be a true friend to God befriending what is detestable to Him.
We can love the sinner but not the conduct of that one.
Trust..
EDIT:
This is God's word the Bible, and I would put my trust in him any day than an imperfect, intentionally perverted human. Here, absorb this and God Bless You:
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.

Gays violate God's law and are therefore unsaved. Christians are not to associate with the unsaved. They must simply preach to them that their lifestyle is sinful and hope that God does his work in their hearts to save them.
