Don't get me wrong,neither am I homosexual nor bisexual. But I get really sick about people calling a human being an "abomination". Who are we to judge?
Wouldn't it be the greater sin to sacrifice a healthy relationship (no matter betwen whom) just the meet the expectations of certain people?
As long as a love is true and faithful I don't see why God should have anything against it.
the bible states living together homosexually as a sin, however, we:

1... can't say anything about the BEING gay anyways (it all depends on what they do, and I do NOT belive that you can make someone ungay, feelings are not that easily controlled)
2 ...have no right to judge anyways
3 ...should treat them just like everyone else; With love and respect

the bible states living together [in] homosexually as a sin.
The bible also tells us that one shouldn't wear clothing made of two blended fabrics. And I remember reading a line somewhere in Deuteronomy that a woman must marry a man if he rapes her.

Some rules just don't fit into modern society and some rules are just plain stupid. The bible was edited and altered so many times in the course of history. And it is the duty of everybody who calles himself a christian to distinguish the important from the unimportant.

I God doesn't want homosexuals, why are there any? Calling one of God's creatures an abomination is the real sin.

well I've never done that, ctually three of my best friends are homosexual

.... and like I said; we all do things the bible sates as sin, much of the bible has to be read in context, you can't just take out whatever phrase that fits without lokking at what surrounds it

Hi my name is vicky i live in ireland,
Well i believe that you should be-freind that person and do not judge for who are we to judge when it is our lord who is worthy of all, If only people just made a good impression on people they would see the light of the lord shine through you and Through the friendship you plant a seed of which the lord will take action apon and therefor it is up to that person wheather or not to accept jesus in to there llives, So do not judge for you could be judged no one is perfect only the lord jesus christ that why he sent his people to go spread the worf to the UN-WORTHY who need it most they need love and words of wisdom gifted by jesus.
Thank you for listening. God bless xxxx

I know many people have already given there opinions on this topic... and I am sorry I didn't ready them all but i did skim threw. Any way... In my second year of college I had a really close friend that just stopped talking to me for no reason (she had a reason I just didn't know it) After a few months I learned that the reason she stopped talking to me was because she was gay and thought that because I am a Christian I wold no longer be her friend. Well it is my belief that to be gay (homosexual) is a sin it is also a sin not show compassion and love to them. If you remember Christ was an outcast for many reason one being that he was around the prostitutes, tax collectors and other that were not worthy in the high priests eyes.

What better way to witness the love of christ but to show kindness and compassion to everyone. This does not mean that you have to agree with the lifestyle they choose to live. But you should treat them as you yourself would like to be treated...

Actually,"just act like yourself. there's nothing to it. Jesus didn't change when he was around ppl so neither should we." (2)

I guess it's a personal choice if the person, between him or her and God, whether or not he or she finds find homosexuality a sin.

But if you get the awesome nagging in your heart that God doesn't want you to pursue homosexuality, then don't. Obedience is a key to loving God, remember. So just follow what God wants you to do. Pray, pray, pray and obey Him, love Him and put your trust in Him.

Treat them as you would treat anyone else.

Remember: God hates sin, not the sinner.


EDIT: Just noticed this was bumped from 2009 by the above post. Whoops.

The barometer for right conduct is not what "I" should do? But Rather "What would Jesus DO"? He is our exemplar!!

This is what passes for "tolerance" amongst "liberal" homosexuals:

[video=youtube_share;HqRDJ-JkBwc]http://youtu.be/HqRDJ-JkBwc?list=UUTamXcimfIHE7tMBzTRiFKw[/video]


"We're going to beat the living (delete) out of you!" said the pro-homosexual advocate before he broke TFP Student Action's video camera during a peaceful rally for natural marriage at Johns Hopkins University on October 23.

After physically pushing and shoving one of our youngest pro-family volunteers and using abusive and violent language, the same-sex "marriage" supporter turned against TFP member Matthew Miller, 20, and started throwing punches at his video camera.

As a result of the attack, the camera was severely damaged and its external microphone completely destroyed. In the video footage, another TFP volunteer can be heard telling the pro-homosexual attacker how the campaign for God's marriage was being conducted peacefully. "We're here totally peacefully," he said, to which the same-sex "marriage" bully retorted, "I'm not."

The incident occurred at 11:06 AM near the intersection of N. Charles Street and E 34th Street. Moments later, police authorities arrived and registered the "destruction of property" in police report 145J10002. Hundreds of dollars in damage were caused by the attacker and photos of the incident were turned over to the police for further investigation. This latest attack reflects a growing trend to stifle free speech that supports the sacred institution of marriage. Other cases are documented by this peaceful pro-family student group."

^ There is nothing tolerant about this "liberal" homosexual.

Just love them as you would your normal friend. God loves them just the same, Just not there practices. Just keep showing God's love to them. In hope one day, that they will want to receive God love and see there practices are forbidden with God.
