Gay Christians only exist if they are very misinformed.
My intent is not to sound harsh, but in all matters to do with theological beliefs, it doesn't matter how you feel. It only matters what God says about the matter because what we feel as Christians should stem from what God would have us feel based on the world-view that He gave us based in His Spirit of Truth (John 16:13).
Refer to statement above. Here are the verses that have nothing to do with rape and clearly outline the depravity of homosexuality along with some other sins.
Romans 1:24-27
24Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Timothy 1:7-11But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, 11according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
That is called a lie. And Satan is the father of all lies. Although there are references to rape in the Bible there are also these verses that say that it is forbidden with no mention of rape involved. Here they are: Leviticus 18:22 'You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.
Leviticus 20:13
13'If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.
Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is desperately sick: who can know it?" Meaning that their hearts deceive themselves into thinking something unholy is something holy. This is only fueled by the evil messages from the world telling them it's alright. They are comforting themselves through what the world says. How does anyone know if it's alright? Only through the Word of God. That's how societies and the world gets it's standards. Think about a tribe away from civilization. They act immoral and have no one to tell them what is right and wrong to do. They only have there built in conscious, which tends to be much weaker without the influence of the written Word of the Christian Holy Bible.
Also I would question if someone is really a Christian who goes around saying that. True repentance means turning from the old life to a new life of wholesome goodness with Christ. Not everyone who says they're a Christian actually follow Christ. Christian means Christ follower... as it should.

Jesus Christ is the Light of the World
Why would your belief be any stronger than someone else’s unless it has some base to stand on? The book of Judges says that the people did what was right in their own eyes. That is instead of going by the Holy Book. How? Again, the answer is the Good Book. The Word of God told you that. It stands as the authority over simply your opinion. Right on the money!!!
Consider these verses. Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him, then it lists six and a seventh. So no, not all sins are equal. Logically speaking stealing to live is a lesser crime than stealing for revenge to kill someone. True. Here is Good Book support. Romans 6:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” This verse says nothing about what the sinner believes when he commits an irreversible sin against God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Read all of the book of Romans. That will answer your questions about your faith. If not, message me any questions you have. If you’re a true Christ follower than your life should have changed. If your life hasn’t changed, as in you’re doing good things, then you might need to grow or you might not be a Christian. Fear God; and be serious about this, because God has plans for you. Find out what they are with Him. Yes, He gives grace to the humble, yet He is also a God of justice that does not overlook justice. To accept Christ you must believe that He lived a sinless life, died and rose again on the third day, confess that you are in need of salvation from your filthy deeds AND turn from your wicked ways. We won’t be able to do that fully until God comes back for us, but if you are saved than your life should show that through the fruits of the Spirit. Here they are: Goodness, Love, Gentleness, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Meekness, Patience, Self-Control, Faithfulness, Kindness

It is comments on threads like these that always make me question now whether I am going to heaven or not. I thought that if you tried to follow jesus even TRIED then you were going to heaven

No, this is completely wrong. You don't get to say who is and who is not a Christian.
Definition of effeminate
–adjective | (of a man or boy) having traits, tastes, habits, etc., traditionally considered feminine, as softness or delicacy.
So are you saying that men who have soft or delicate traits cannot be Christians? See how ridiculous this is? People can be Christians regardless of whatever sins you believe they've committed. The only requirement to be a Christian is in Jesus, no one is disqualified. Please start showing the love and acceptance of Jesus instead of telling people they cannot be a Christian for whatever reason.

No we don't get to say who comes into the Kingdom, but we can, for the most part tell if people are headed there by there words and actions. Not only can we, but we are expected to to protect the Church from intruders (Matthew 5:17).
You are a very narrow minded bigoted individual I have to say, to compare Homosexuals to Peadophiles is a very misguided opinion you have you do know a lot of people who consider to be hetrosexuals do disgusting things to children I think you need to realise there is a clear difference between the two. I am no Gay myself but I don't see it as offensice or wrong it's the individuals life and they choose to live it the way they want just like some people choose the muslim faith or other people are Catholics and by the way not all Catholic people are Peadophiles either this is just a gross generalisation you have made and an ignorant one at that.

all it comes down too is that the Bible is the Bible and it says that God hates homosexuality. Our lives are not ours to live once we accept yeshua as LORD and saviour and therefore we should be constantly striving to please Him and keep holy which we cant do while sinning. And actively pursuing and staying in homosexuality is a sin.

Yes, because I wanted to know if you as an atheist have an Objectively Moral reason to object to doing so. Also, when you reject Objective morals, you also reject epistemic duties.
What would be Objectively wrong about doing so? (Objective Ontologically, not scientifically)
Adultery is just as bad. In fact, I would say sodomy is a form of Adultery if we understand adultery as being a violation of the Marriage Covenent, which would also by implication make Fornication and Lust Adultery as well... In fact, Christ already said that Lust was adultery of the heart.
EDIT:
As far as not mentioning adultery, that is because so far the two threads you and I have been cooresponding in have been threads on homosexuality.

It's not as bad, have you listened to yourself, Adultry and Peadophilia are the same to you? You don't make any logical sense honestly you don't. In your mind if you and your wife were separated and she decided to sleep with somebody else then that would be just as bad as some strange man molesting your dayghter/son? You live in a very strange and scary world you really do.

Says who? You?
Well, no. This is a text-based forum.
This is where you equivocate. (this is a fallacy)
I stated that they were the same in that they are both sins. I then when on to say that they are both the same in that they are violations of the Marriage Covenant. I did not say the were the same crimes. Otherwise, I would not give them two different names.
Bad analogy. If she slept with someone else, that would be a man who likely was a stranger to me, and in a way the actions would be similar to a molestation, except that she would be a willing participant.
The point I think you seek to make is based on your equivocation, as I pointed out above.
It's not as strange when I can account for the existance of Logical Truths, science, or for that matter Moral truths. It is scary in the manner that there's 7 billion fallable sinful humans.

Unanswered questions is the foundation of Christianity isn't it? do you really think I'm going to have any supporters on here. I admit i obviously don't know as much as yourself about the bible but you talk like a bigot that lives in the past it's the 21st century and these days atheists and agnostics are growing rapidly and I think one day it will surpass Christianity. What is your take on other faiths for example i.e Muslims?
