Is God Anti-Gay?

[@mzg1237]

Although it was one of the last things said, I felt it was the most important. When Todd said "If you walk into a church where they say 'God hates fags,' then that isn't God's church." I think its really important for both believers and non believers that we all know how loving God is and that anyone who uses the scriptures to discriminate or even oppress is not being wise and not acting in a manner that is acceptable.

@Tracy Tymm god's law ...lol...It's man law cuse man wrote the bible

[@doctorwebman]

@Tracy Tymm "Since God is sovereign over all of creation, He is not restricted in what or whom He can use to accomplish His holy purposes." He is, if he is to be moral. An omnipotent God has no use for punishment, as he can simply create beings who, like him, are not tempted by evil, or could cure someone of any evil desires with the snap of a finger. "The real question is, “Will you respond to God's warnings with faith and obedience, or will you reject His counsel and be rejected by Him?”" I have never heard your god warn me. The only warnings I'm getting are from humans who can't back up their threats with evidence.

@@AitanZacchaeus ...I need to respond to your comment. Just for those who read the scripture you quoted, as they may not have the knowledge or understanding about the book you quoted from. The book of Ecclesiasticus is a book found in Apocrypha of the Old Testament. A collection of Jewish writings not included in the Hebrew Bible. To Christians, it is not accepted as inspired by God. Ecclesiastes, on the other hand, is inspired by God. This book Ecclesiasticus gives insights into how to live a good life according to Jewish law and tradition. However, Jesus gives eternal life by trusting in Him alone.

You said that sin is what causes homosexuality. But what if I have a gay friend who says they were born that way? Was it their own sin in their very young age that caused them to be gay? Or could it be another's sin that raised them/influenced them while they were growing up?

[@aaehguf]

some people are affected by the sinful way of this world in different ways and at different levels than others, people dont all have the same struggle, some struggle with homosexuality, some with lying, some with addiction, or a combination, or a multitude of others. it isnt your friends fault, or anybodys. theyre still loved by God just as much as He loves you or I. I dont know why theres so much hatred from some people and so called christians toward people who arent straight, maybe its a culture thing, sure God declared it as an abomination, but He never declared to hate, only love and reach others.

[@lizicadumitru9683]

Homosexual orientation can't be pinpointed with any kind of exactness. Other than to say that everyone is born in this world tainted with sin and it can manifest in hundreds of different ways. Whether they feel like they were born that way or somehow influenced by the myriad of things from without, the Lord is asking all who follow him to deny self and take up their cross.

[@722blitz]

When they say they were born that way, they mean they were born that way. Why would someone choose to be gay? Many gay people lose their friends, families, and homes, especially in more conservative countries. No one would "choose" that if that was a choice. If gay people became gay because of how they were rasied, then gay people would not potentially come from houses of homophobic christian upbringings.

[@technoloverish]

@@ChildofYAH Let me guess: you would like to say gay people put in jail for having sexual relations with each other.

[@722blitz]

@God_Laughs _At_Atheists Ah yes, let's compare two adults being in a consensual, loving relationship with murder and domestic abuse. Funnily enough, people who accept LGBT people are much more loving than any gay-hating fundamentalist christians I've met. Also, a gay gene doesn't exist because it's combination of multiple genes. There have been study results that use siblings to show that it could be linked to genetics. Try to research better.

Yet people like you surrender yourselves to this book and judge and dicreed people who's gay or have a troubled past. How contradicting can you become?

@@juggernaut4898 There are additional bible references but two verses are 2 Timothy 3:16: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (KJV) and 2 Peter 1:20-21: "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (KJV)". Also, God's Word does not support He is anti-gay but rather He is anti-sin. As per Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (KJV). Each person needs to repent their sins and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour by His death, burial and resurrection.

@@sambates288 After someone excepts Jesus then what? What's in it for me?

[@sambates288]

@@juggernaut4898 When one accepts Jesus died, was buried and rose again then your sins are covered by His saving blood. You become a new person (born again) wanting to live doing His will. Then everything is different because your worldview is now biblically orientated. As 1 Thessalonians 5:18 states "In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." You really will want to thank God for every activity. May sound too simple but that is why "saved by grace through faith" allows you to enjoy His creation everyday for the rest of your life! Then you will realize how blessed you truly are and you will want to share that truth with others.

And such were some of you [before you believed]. But you were washed [by the atoning sacrifice of Christ], you were sanctified [set apart for God, and made holy], you were justified [declared free of guilt] in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the [Holy] Spirit of our God [the source of the believer’s new life and changed behavior]. 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9‭-‬11 AMP

With all due respect, one thing that is off, is when people say “God NEVER says...” we don’t know God. God can say things we would never think He would. Now when he says “God never says no to something without saying a bigger yes to something else” is not a really good thing to say... that would create a expectation inside people towards God, and begin to establish and build their faith and belief on top of that and when God does not say yes to something else or give you something in exchange for saying no, we will get upset, discouraged, confused... when God says NO, He is still good and just. He doesn’t owe us anything, He doesn’t have to make it up to us in any other way. If God comes to us with HARSH words He is holy, we deserve harsher things, but we thank Him for His mercies. Let’s continue to stay before God that He May find us worthy to know God’s heart for we will not be able to do so by reading scriptures or someone else’s books unless God has instructed that man to share certain aspects of it. God bless.

No Sam. Everyone is not on a level playing field; everyone is not in the same boat! Conservatives trot out a tool/pawn like Sam to make this warped illogical argument all the time, and Sam obliges without regard to the negative impact that he is having on other gay people. This argument that everyone is treated equally concerning this issue is just dishonest on its face and lays the predicate for religious conservatives to justify bigotry and the ostracism of an entire segment of people. Simply, straight people and gay people are not on a level set when it comes to the church’s teachings on this issue since straight people can get married in the eyes of the church; gays can not. If straight religious conservatives wish to compare their experience, take a vow of celibacy. I really don’t see how such illogical arguments can be genuinely made.

Who cares that you (e.g., presumably a straight person who can get married with the church’s blessing, despite any struggle with porn) are nice to your gay friend. That misses the point; the point concerns this inequitable ethical standard by Christian conservatives as a community (and Sam’s part in justifying it), not your personal interactions with gay people.
