No I do not except everything my friends do I am also a Christian and the word says love the sinner hate the sin. We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. that is why we need Jesus as our Savior. I know of and love some homosexual people but i do not agree with the lifestyle they live, they know it we just do not talk about it as they know what I think. I still love them I know that God will deal with the sin that is not up to me.

Define "accept".
If you think it's a sin and you tell him/her and stop at that, then you are no bigot.
If you cut your friend off or are mean to them, you might be a bigot. We all sin. So, homosexuals are just committing another sin. If you treat your friend like any other sinner, then the people who call you bigot are the true bigots. They hate Christians.

Well, you can't agree with everything that everyone else does - even if they are your friends. But equally, you can't necessarily actively disagree with an aspect of their lifestyle that is so huge as being homosexual. I can understand that this might cause conflict between you and your friend. I'm not saying you're wrong to feel the way you do, but it's not fair to enforce your feelings on your friend. If you have simply stated a preference then you can't be accused of being a bigot!

You are a christian,and you say you have a gay friend ,is he accepting of you being a christian and accepting of you not being gay.I would call you a hypocrite for coming on a public web and saying such a thing about about a "friend" and if that is your idea of friendship and Christianity I would say to you leave him to his own and stop being so judgemental .A friend deserves more respect and honesty than what this poor unknowing that you are going behind his back person is getting. You need to get new friends or accept the ones you have.I just hope that they don't discover how deceitful and dishonest you really are.

Of course you don't have to accept what they do!!
That doesn't make you a bigot or a mean person in any way. Just make sure that you always accept the PERSON..and I know you do.
God bless you! You have a very good heart, I could see.

If I believed in something so strongly and then met a person who went against my beliefs. (like say someone was a druggie and I was not)... then I think it would be more difficult to have a solid friendship with them. However, I think being a great friend and an even bigger person means you love and accept everyone. And know its OK to disagree with them, but still have the ut most respect for them as a human.

You are no friend to these people you call friends. Acceptance of a person, means acceptance of that person, all-inclusive. Many of my friends have personality traits and/or lifestyles that I wouldn't choose for myself, but I still love them dearly, and would never hold our differences against them. In fact, it's our differences that make them more interesting and enjoyable to be around. I think I'd be bored stiff if all my friends were carbon copies of me.
So I would say that you are a bigot with no true friends, because you have to BE a friend in order to HAVE a friend.
Good luck.

I accept homosexuals like I accept lawyers. What every they do, is between them and God. What they do in their beds in none of my business. There are only people. I smoke, so my sin is just a sinful as homosexuality. Who am I to judge. What ever one is willing to do, let them accept the consequence (good or bad) with dignity!

We should accept our friends when they hurt us not. I don't mean phisical hurt,i mean when they make you think badly or change your beliefs, or make u arrogant or introduce u to drugs and so, or homesexuality. In such a case we should break up with them. Bu if we don't agree in some few things , that would be different point of views, we have to accept. Friends r a blessing.
Good Luck!!

I accept all of my friends 100%, and sometimes disagree with some things that they do.
I can't imagine not accepting someone's homosexuality. To me, it would be like not accepting their brown eyes.
