Then I have no problem with you(g). I have a problem with those who are only interested in homosexual *sin* or *abomination*. I have strong people in my life, too - who tell me the truth and let me know when I am off course. Unfortunately I am not always as gracious as you when being told - but I'm getting better at it(g).
You are free to believe whatever you want, but what you believe and what scripture teaches do not jive in the least... if you believe "God is Love" is the nutshell of Christian theology then you are indeed blatantly ignorant of Judeao-Christian theology.
Indeed and you are free to believe whatever you want to, too. And yes, I believe that God is Love. I am sorry that you don't.
I am sorry too... that you are so unapologetically ignorant of the text the Lord has given us.
There is no doubt God loves us, but to try to distill Judeo Christian Theology and all that in entails into "God is Love" is flatly and patently ignorant and wrong. Practicing faith is not saying... "Oh, God is Love.. I am free to do whatever, he made me this way and he loves me so I'll do whatever I wish."... Faith is saying, "I love God, and I love him so much that I will do my best to live in the manner in which he has put forth for me."
None of us have ever pulled it off without failing, but that doesn't mean one gets a free pass not to bother even trying. God will forgive the truly repentent.. but those that echo the "God is Love" line always seem to forget that with his forgiveness is require repentance and also to "Go and Sin No More".
Homosexuality is clearly immorral according to the teachings of the bible, scientific studies on the topic show it to be a largely self destructive mental disorder.. so whether it be Theological "sin" or purely pragmatic "secular humanism" there is no justification for Homosexuality as anything more than A BEHAVIOR. And its a behavior that has hugely negative consequences for those who embrace it.. and sadly many that embrace it also fall further into the immorallity pit in all sorts of ways.
Its no fluke that 90% of boys who are molested are molested by unrelated men... Once you absolve oneself of responsibility for ones actions regarding ones sexual urges and actions, its only a matter of time until the next evil urge crops up, and is yeilded to.
And lets not even get into the fact that most who voluntarily engage in this lifestyle, not molested as children, but upon become sexually mature decide to become active with other men generally became drunk or stoned in order to be able to do the deed... does not bode for a behavior that is inate.
There is no reason to beat a dead horse any further. To try to drive by theology as "God is Love" is just patent ignorance... Get into a good bible study program, in a church that actually teaches the Bible... not selective passages. You'll find out quite quickly "God is Love" is nothing more than drivel of the ignorant mind.
