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.

Bottom line, they do a great disservice to young people with sames sex attraction in telling them the lies they espouse as opposed to the truth....that the abnormal feelings they are experiencing can, and should, be overcome.... not succumbed to as the homosexuals have brainwashed society into believing. As Christ said..... they will be responsible, and punished, for harming these little ones with their lies.

the homosexuals are pushing "god is ONLY love" nothing else.

Thus for the fat person who loves to eat, god is food.

for the drug addict who loves to get high, god is drugs.


the god is only love is for the illiterate who have never read a bible or classical literature.

You are free to believe whatever you want to. As am I. I happen to believe that God is Love. You don't. So what?

I also believe that people are responsble for their actions. And I believe that it is desirable to be honest, honorable, trustworthy, to have character and integrity, to do good works, to help others, to have courage, to be kind, to have a sense of humor.

All those things are part of what Love is, imo. and , of course, much more. Love is beyond what we can understand or define as humans. We can seek to be more loving, though, and to love God more and love one another more.
