So what we really needed today is yet another thread regarding the sin of homosexuality that coincides with the dozens of other homosexual sin threads. Cool. Just want to stay in the loop.

Oh boy! Another thread of conviction and division!
No not really, just another thread by a another person who claims he is a deliverance minister, set apart on his own to deliver us all from evil. Funny thing is, he does not know the Bible well enough to know that the rainbow was a covenant between God and all living things in the earth, including homosexuals.

I'm no fan of gay political activism, but I live and let live. It would be interesting to see a homosexual thread started by someone who states they feel called to sincerely pray for homosexuals, thus making it a thread based on God's love.

Us Christians need to do what God said do.
Here's one that Christians need to do.

†. Lev 19:11 . .You shall not deal falsely, nor lie to one another.

†. Col 3:9 . . Lie not one to another

You may not be LGBT; but are you 100% truthful? Well; I think if you
were honest about it; you'd admit not; viz: you have failed to do what
God said do.

Curiously, people allow themselves a measure of dishonesty, while refusing
to allow LGBT a measure of companionship; when God allows a measure of
neither.

Yes that covenant is with sinners. The covenant rainbow is not with the sin of homosexuality though.
Only on the BDF can people post a topic that we can all agree on but the OP decides to twist the agreement into a disagreement. Congratulations. You have accomplished just that.

Referring to homosexuality as LGBT is taking away from Gods word and adding to it. God did not differentiate neither should we. All homosexual sin is homosexuality. That includes sins of thought as well. If your mind delves into the thoughts and does not fight the battle against it but lives in it it is still sin
So, instead of coming out (no pun intended) and saying there's a problem. And then continuing to post and say there's a problem but in different wording. How about you actually post what the church can do to help try and fix this problem. Can you try doing that? Cause 3 pages and we haven't gotten anywhere.

I was kidding.

We are so quick to judge and point out others sin is what l meant.
Homosexuality is a sin. We get it. How does that change its problem.
We can talk about it all we want.......God changes the hearts and minds at the end of the day.
Sin is sin.

Just want to add.......why does everyone continue to sin!?!?!? I need to show you what YOU are doing wrong!!!!.......in a bit,.... if you excuse me, there's a Sons of Anarchy marathon l want to catch.

We are all hypocrites sometimes, as threads like this prove.

I have a cousin that is in a homosexual relationship with another woman. I saw her for the first time in fifteen years last year at our grandpa's Memorial service. All I do know what happened is she was assaulted by her boyfriend during her teenage years that she could not trust a male. I do not agree with the "homosexual" lifestyle and believe it is a choice to be that way and to be completely honest it makes me sick to my stomach that our government is allowing "marriages." I do not mean that in a judgmental way because God calls us to love one another in the Lord and it doesn't matter whether they have accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. Just as Christ, he "hates" the sin, but "loves" the sinner.

It is legalized here in Canada, too. Personally it appalls me. But, to each their own I 'spose.

There is a problem here. We know the Lord condemns homosexuality as sin, the act of sexual activity between people of the same sex. The problem is it appears a certain number of members of society feel this attraction very strongly, whatever the source or cause. Some can show in their lives it is a developmental stage, others it could be triggered by abuse and others it appears innate to who they are.

It is easy to say from ones own perspective, what it means to oneself, but that does not bring light on anothers experience.
Some would argue this orientation is permanent, but this cannot be demonstrated, only many suffer massive emotional trauma because they find themselves caught by how they feel with little options.

Some gay christians are starting to argue the issue is not about orientation but faithfulness, ie love shared between two individuals out weighs inappropriate orientation. Unfortunately for me, I understand the love expressed between two people is a beautiful and precious thing and is truly significant. The problem though goes deeper. Sexuality can be expressed and twisted to be focused on objects, children, violence, being abused etc. but this does not legitimize its position.

The line for me is simple, sex is about families and children, and in that context has only one formula.
Intimacy can be shared between any two individuals, but is not sexual, rather it is about caring and bonding between individuals. Unfortunately for many the two are so closely linked, one is assumed to mean the other, which is simply not true. Many many marriages never achieve intimacy, so it is often wrong to assume even a functioning relationship works properly.

My experience of homosexuals is a problem of heightened activity with few boundaries, because the normal biological issues are not in play between female and male roles, so things easily race away. Their militancy becomes any boundaries are wrong, and total carnal behaviour is freedom rather than bondage. I have seen people have sexual change operations, only to find it was their personal identity that was the problem, not their gender. People get lost in anatonomy only to realise love matters more, to be cared for, and reached out to.

As christians we are commanded to reach out and share what Jesus has done in our lives. Accepting where people are and not condemning them but working with them is more important, as every situation is different and there are no pat simple resolutions.
There is no such thing as a gay Christian. Period!
Homosexuals are by choice living in sin.
I agree that we should witness to them, try to lead them to repent and turn from their wickness but to call them Christian is to corrupt the word Christian.

I will ad that the same is true of those who live together out of wedlock, or any other sin that is openly practiced as if it is not sin.

Ok, nevermind, I think I get it now. lol You are called to sincerely pray for homosexuals. Correct?
Yes,that is one of the things that God has called me to do. (And I too have struggled with some of the same things.) The thing is so many within the church want to throw us an anchor and not point to the one that CAN SET US FREE. Many would rather that we are barbequed in hell,there are churches where the pastors preach that the parents are to beat the gay out,churches where gay teenagers were beaten in the parking lot by the members of the church after the service.

The sad part is that so many of them when you listen to them have had shattered lives. Many were so severely abused as kids that this is the direction they went. The number of horror stories that make MY LIFE look a Sunday walk in the park (My life was far from a Sunday walk in the park) is mind boggling and the God who loved me so much that He sent His Son into the world to RESCUE ME is the same that wants to rescue them from this bondage. (That is not to say all went through that at all,for others it's something else and I can't address that) They don't need an anchor they need a lifeline to the one who can make them whole and set them free.


And how often do churches do this to others struggling with other sins?
