Yes there are many close minded Christians..Like several have already stated, being "okay with gays" isn't being Christ-like.Being Christ-like is loving everyone and treating them how you would want to be treated.Being a Christian is spreading His word and being a light for Him..Which is very crucial since I believe we are in the end times and I want to see the lost, found!!saying you would be better off buddhist or athiest isn't very Christ-like at all.Read your Bible everyday and mediate on it..it tells you all this in there.God Bless.

Meganne, friend... I ask myself the same thing too. I always thought that all Christians were unconditionally nice, but after interacting further with some folks from my church and from the Christian sector of my school, I have learned that even they have their limits.
All this talk about gayness is death for me. You know I accept homosexuality, but some people just don't stay quiet about it! I feel like breaking under the pressure sometimes. Some people don't know when to quit.
And through all this, I feel like a bad Christian myself. I don't know if I'll ever be happy with myself no matter how good I am...

Sorry Meg. I was supposed to give you answers but I just turned it into a self-propelled rant.
I hope you do find the answers you seek one day, but you won't find them here; you will only acquire more questions. God bless.

I have not been christain for too long.

A month. Maybe.

And all I have seen are hurtful, bitter, hateful, judgemental people.

Show me that there are christains out there who are open minded.

Who are Okayye with gayys.

Who love everyone.

Who aren't so **** conservative. Show me people who are truely christlike.

I'm looking for people who's hearts are full of love.

Not people who jugde others.

Maybe I'm better off as an aethiest/buddhist again.

Sigh. <3.

Hi
I had a similar experience to you when I first became a Christian...I thought the people who were in the church were meant to be acting like Jesus except they didn't! Even the pastor condemned me from the pulpit because I left an abusive husband (on his advice!). My friends were either gay, gamblers or on drugs, in a mild form. My gay friend thought I would turn against her when I became a Christian which shocked me because to me she was just the same person. That saddened me, but helped me (over the years) to accept people as they are and to be less judgmental. It's not our place to judge,but to tell people they are loved by God, and to help them into a relationship with Jesus; then whatever is happening in their life is between them and God.
Stick with Jesus and try listening to him.

Hi
I'm sorry you feel under the pressure you do. Homosexuality is taken out of all proportion, if you ask me. I wish more christians would actually act like Jesus, showing unconditional love and acceptance. I'm sending you a big sisterly hug, cos you're not the only one who feelslike ambad christian. x

I have gay friends, and they are lovely. I disapprove when they actually DO gay stuff, but i dont preach to them about it. I will love them for ever, because this is what Jesus taught, and I accept who they are. Actually, out of the gay and straight people I have met, the gay ones are nicer. This doesn't necessarily mean i approve of what they do, but they are nice people and i will continue to be their friend and support them for as long as they need me, and maybe one day they will see Jesus like I do.

Hey so I am sorry that you haven't seen much love since you became a Christian I am a fairly new Christian myself and praise God I am in a church where we love each other and support each other. Have you tried switching churches? I went to a church when I was a child where love was not taught it was government there was the pastor and the elders and the rest were beneath them, and we did not care for each other because each of us tried to claw our way to the top, it turned me away from Christ. Maybe if you church is like that you should look for a loving church. If you want any help I know a lot of people that know a lot of pastors down in the states and such so just message me if you'd like help!

And about homosexuality it's like lying for me, I know it's wrong, and God doesn't want me to do it but sometimes I still lie, but then I repent and God continues to work in me, and slowly I have started to tell the truth. I believe the same is with homosexuality it does say in the bible it's wrong, and so we work with God let him change us, because even though we may not always understand why God changes us it is meant for good.

Ok God loves you first off and God did not come to bring peace you must understand that Matthew 10:34 he came to bring a sword. Second God is not ok with Gays he is clear in that. Thrid i do agree most christians dont show enough love we are supposed to be known by our love. We all need to show Gods love more.

Im friends with a large number of homosexuals because the school i go to is about 1 in 7 homosexuals. It does not bother me at all. God did give us free will. If that is they life they choose, then thats fine with me. I'm not going love them any less. And some og the more fingerpointing christians can be bad and hateful i agree. I have people come up to me and say im going to hell for being a smoker. so you know, some people just need someone to look down on.

Hi!! Well I&#8217;m sorry you had bad experiences with &#8220;Christians&#8221; a true Christian that is seeking after God would not act like that&#8230;. There are Christians that are trying to be like God and CC has a bunch of them! God is love and he says that he loves you and wants you to follow him cuz he will never let you go! The bible say for GOD so LOVED the world that he gave his only son to whosoever believes in me shell not perish but have ever lasting life&#8230; he died for becuz he loves you its not the ppl that you need the love from (though it would be nice ) keep close to God and pray ask him to lead you to some Christians true Christians!

Ok so you say that Christians must accept gays?? Well I do not and will not ever accept being gay as ok! I accept the person that is &#8220;gay&#8221; I do not agrea with them will never say to them its ok cuz its not. I will love and pray for them&#8230;not accept there desistion at all but pray that they will get over it&#8230;.

My best friend is gay. He comes to Church with me occasionally. He's not exactly a Christian, but everyone at my Church & my Youth Group knows that he is gay, But we all accept him. He's our brother at the end of the day. Jesus is prepared to forgive EVERYONE. And it's not our place to judge anyway. God is our only judge. All we can do is try too love as God does :).
I've made many mistakes in my life. I've been of the path, and been there for a long time before I turned to God. Being gay is a sin, but there is no sin worse than another. In the Bible it says that a simple lie is on the same level as murder. So when we all sit here saying "We don't agree with it" blah blah blah, You can't judge, for we ALL sin. As regards to my friend, I don't tell him he's wrong, I tell him what the Bible teaches in regards to what he's doing. Also, I aknoledge the fact the Bible says we must LOVE our neighbours, the gays included!

Meganne, I'll be praying for you, Keep going, Keep walking the path, God is with you & he has amazing plans for you! :)
