So sick of this “Gay is sin” debate.

The Bible also says not to judge others.... whether gays get into heaven is not our call... its God’s call. Secondly, the Bible says to live your life with love and forgiveness. In fact, there are far more references to not judging others, to being a loving person...Jesus tending to the worst of sinners and forgave them.

There are many behaviors that I find to be so much more damaging to our life, culture, faith and freedom....homosexuality isn’t one of them...we are not so divine to fix this issue... I thing this is one we let God sort out.

OK.... flame away!!

Hey, the majority of Americans are just like your 'thinging'. I do not read from your words, you are the least bit concerned with what God said He would or would not do when individuals or a nations takes up the perverts agenda. Cause 'everybody is doing it' right? Well, you just like every other individual gets to make that choice, and each and every individual gets to give account for their choices. So don't wimp out when accounting time comes, take it like a 'man'.

Actually, we are required to tell those who reject God to repent. That means to change their ways. There is nothing biblical about ignoring the sin going on around us, anymore than we are allowed to ignore our own sin. ALL SIN is to be repented of.

There isn’t a debate about homosexual behavior being sin. It is. Take it up with God if you don’t like it. And we are to call all to repent and give their lives over to God.

God has already said that unrepentant sinners, including homosexuals, won’t go to heaven. The question isn’t if you sin, but if you have repented and asked God to change you into the likeness of Jesus...

Saying that something someone does that is wrong is not judging them, but their actions. Judging them would be to condem them and their actions and be able to carry out the sentence, which only God will do.

I am sad that someone would choose this dangerous life style, one that shortens ones life by 20 years (avg) and continues to lead the nation in HIV and STD rates(CDC). This life style is damaging to those caught in its web, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

God has already stated His position on this issue, He has called it an abomination, and has condemed it. All the smoke and mirrors and quoting scripture out of context will not change His mind.

Believers, on the other hand should show Jesus forgivness and the ability to transform any life given to Him. We as believers should call it sin, and it is, but we also need to extend forgivness and grace just as we were given, freely.

Homosexuality is damaging to life, (disease and illness) culture (undermines the family, and marraige-the oldest institution on the planet between one man and one woman), faith (churches/comapnies/individuals already being sued for not giving in to the LGBT agenda)and freedom (not being able to speak ones view about this w/o being threatened with “sensitivity training” or outright fired, and yes it is happening)

God has already sorted this out. (see Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities of the plain, Gen 14)
