The Bible says that God is the judge.

Get a concordance. The word "judge" as you are referring means to not "condemn to hell". With that understood, you need to understand that God loves the individual, however, their behavior and life choice will lead them into bondage that will harden their hearts to God's eternal salvation. Because Homosexuality involves so much emotional investment, it is almost impossible to tell the them the truth without being labeled with very harsh epithets.

Remember, the sin of homosexuality is no blacker than my sin. And if the Christian truly hated homosexuals, they would keep the message of salvation to themselves, not try to change them, and let them go on their merry way to destruction. But because we care, we take the slings and arrows of 90% of the media and public to speak the truth.

The Bible states that homosexuality is behavioral, for Paul states that many of the new believers had been delivered from homosexuality in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11,

Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites... will inherit the kingdom of God. And SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

If it were a genetic thing, then the Bible would not have shown that some were delivered. Your argument is with the Bible. If you do not believe the Bible, then your concern is moot. If you believe the Bible is the Word of God, then it states that you can be born again, transformed by the renewing of your mind, washed and cleansed.

You know, I think people take that "don't judge other people" out of context.
We judge people every day based on appearances and attitude. I mean, what made you choose your friends? You judged whether or not those people were good enough to hang around.
When the Bible says not to judge, it's saying you can't act like God - we can't say that certain people won't make it to some sort of after-life or condemn their eternal life - because those are judgments we don't have the right to make. When the Bible said not to judge others, because you might be judged in the same way - it was saying don't try to act like God because you have no right....

Alot of people are quick to judge homosexuals but then again we are all quick to judge each other on their sins to the point where we begin to over look our own sins.

It was about a year ago our citizenship class was asked what we think of homosexuality and I brought up I do not agree with it and stand by why I don't accept it. The entire class was quick to start claiming I was prejudice against them...they were being prejudice to me from the point they said that, so they were hypocrits.
I try not to say I hate homosexuals but I always say it disgusts me what they do, if a homosexual were to try to be a friend of mine then I wouldn't mind but if they began bringing up the subject on homosexuality I would have to draw the line to let them know that I hate what they do but not them.

We Christians are not perfect, we are still sinful and will always have to ask for Gods forgiveness. I just think we need to be reminded to "hate the sin not the sinner".
It is clearly written that God sees homosexuality as an abomination, there are MANY Christians now saying "Jesus loves us all as we are" I do not like them saying that because they are bending words out of their mouth. Jesus loves us all and that is why he sacrificed himself so we may have a chance to be reunited with God so they are partially right. However God still has made it clear there are certain things we must never do and two for example are to never Curse the Holy Spirit*if you say good is evil then you are in trouble*and not to practise homosexuality because God created us as man and woman.
I have fallen out with alot of people over this matter because they do not listen carefully to what I am saying...I ain't perfect myself and that's why I try not to point the finger at others when I have my own problems to attend to.
They can however ask for forgiveness and ask God to help them not practise it, that is the type of love God has for us, that he will keep forgiving us.

We can judge what God has already judged. He has judged homosexuality to be an abomination,

Leviticus 18:22

22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.


In numerous places in the Old Testament sodomites were removed from the land because of their abominations. For example;

I Kings 14:24

24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.


I Kings 15:11-12

11 And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.


If God has judged homosexual activity to be an abomination, and commands that we not be like them, can we not judge such activities to be abominations also?

And why do you blame Christians for this, when God is the One who has judged this in the first place?

We are to love the sinner, but not the sin. And by condemning the gay lifestyle and warning them of God's wrath against such activity, we are actually doing them a favor for by doing nothing we are actually condemning them to Hell without mercy.

Besides, God commands us all to warn the wicked of their wickedness;

Ezekiel 3:19-19

18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

Which is really judging? Warning the wicked concerning their wickedness so they may come to repentance, or saying nothing and by doing so judging them to be worthy of Hell?

Think very carefully about it.

It means not that we shouldn't judge right and wrong behavior, but that we should not offer a sentence of condemnation. The final state of a person's salvation will be judged by God.

I don;t know why gay/lesbians or even bisexuals get judged so harshly. You're right that Christians are taught not to judge yet I've noticed that they can be some of the most judgemental people.

human beings decide homosexuality with the aid of fact religious Activists control the advice to make it look as though homosexuality is above the different sin. They p.c.. and decide what they want to believe from the bible and than venture it onto others. 0.5 the human beings who say they hate gays probable have not even study the bible in complete element in any different case they might understand that it additionally states that no sin is larger than yet another...

By your logic child predators and rapists should not be judged. We judge the actions not the person. Peace

The Bible does say that Christians are not allowed to judge others. However, Christians like to follow that rule only when it suits their agenda.
