Question to Christians against homosexuality?

Question

Many times I've heard congregations and full Christian meetings talking about how homosexuality is a sin. However, in what method of explaining do you believe will be able to convince a gay person to change or her lifestyle-- fact-to-face?
I want to know how you would try to not insult and to be able to kindly convince him or her. What would you say?

Answer 1

Anthony - I see that no one can actually give you a real answer. It seems that they have to spat out insults or rely on others for information. I guess this proves the point that they are all bark, and no bite.

I commend you for asking this question. Their inability to answer shows that they live by what others tell them to believe and not making up their own minds. That's such a sad thing. But, at least we know they can't practice what they preach.

Gold Star to you, my friend!!!

Answer 2

I am gay and would find it offensive to begin with if someone tried to convince me that homosexuality is a sin. I don't understand it, but why do people think it's a choice? The way I tried to explain it my mom was like this (keep in mind this is my mom, a female): "Do you have a sexual attraction for women? [she said no]. Well neither do I. So how am I supposed to go and have relationship with a female when I know I wouldn't even be turned on by one?" I thikn it's a sin to try and make yourself do things that ultimately make you unhappy- whatever god or gods' are up there, they don't want any humans to live life and hate it. If homosexuality was such a big sin, it never would have been created to begin with. However we were created, this higher power obvsiously had the ability to wipe out gays', but it wasn't. So deal with it and get over it.

Also, people seem to foret that this f&^%!in bible so many of you follow was writen by MALES. Probably well educated, higher class males- and it was writen in a time when women had no rights other than raise the kids and "do what I say or else." Does that not speak anything to you??? If person goes to some gay changing class and says it works, is full of crap. The only thing someone would be doing is denying themselves to a happy life. God or whoever made us for a reason- why deny it? If you really think hard about this topic, it's turning into a political topic. It comes off as "we have the power over you and that being gay is wrong wrong wrong." Sorry to break it to you, but there will always be gay people on this earth- so why not GET OVER IT, move on with your lives, and accept people for who they are. Not for what they could be because you say so.

Thats such bull to say "they were not born that way." Somebody doesn't just wake up one morning and deicde to be gay. You are attracted to what you are attracted to. There is very little evidence to say it's a choice- VERY LITTLE. Other than what some male wrote thousands of years ago- which is absoutely insane to put your complete faith into. Saying gay is a sin and wrong is the basis of hatred- if you want our country to move in that direction go right ahead and do what you like. But I do know thta God or the God's wouldn't want you to hate others- but that is exactly what you do when you say it's wrong. You are being ethnocentric and implying that "your ways" are better- Stupidest thing ever.

One last and final thing. I hope you Christians realize that this was happening long before we were considered to be "homo sapien sapiens." Homosexuality happened when we didn' have normal communication of speaking, writting, or reading etc. But then again, you believe that somebody just bit into an apple and boom here were are. Again, not even possible

Answer 3

I am not Christian but not agnostic. I feel that marriage is a religious ceremony, so there's no reason to force a Christian practice on a non-Christian couple. Be together and celebrate it any way you want.

However, I have problems with so many homes being broken, with no mommy or no daddy. I believe kids deserve both, and regardless of love and intentions I don't see how two same-gendered parents are supposed to raise a child with the extra pressures of being found out and having the child you love ridiculed or hazed because of your "need to parent". I got plenty of hazing for being different without being gay, and that situation would be a scarred child waiting to happen.

Go ahead and love your partner, but it's best to not raise kids for the sake of the kids.

Answer 4

To point out that all sexual immorality is sin. Not only sodomy, but fornication, adultery, etc.

They need to realize they were not born that way rather they are giving in to their lusts and this is an extremely old sin. it is not new.

I won't confront w/o a referral person or website and ph number.

Actually I would be a little concerned about preaching to a gay guy because they have been so emboldened by the few activists, they feel they are in the right. It is wise to see if they are open for counsel first then proceed. if they re hostile they will probably be very mean.

Answer 5

A word of advice-- post this in the Religion and Spirituality section, also found under Society & Culture.

99% of people here are accepting of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people.

Answer 6

They only "preach it", seems like all the catholic's don't actually "practice what they preach" though

Answer 7

I'm a christian.And it is a sin.For one,everyone sins,two,even I have sinned,and last...I am so for gay marriage.

Answer 8

Yes it is a sin. God never said in the bible " Go out with your own sex." he wants us to Be with are own Sex. Read the bible and there is your answer.
