Yes God loves them as He love all, but just like anyone else living in a lifestyle of sin unless they repent, and remiss of their sins, they will go to Hell. However that goes for all sinners not just homosexuals.

God loves everybody. We are supposed to love everybody, even if they are homosexual. But we are not supposed to love the sin.

Hate the sin, love the sinner. Should we accept the lifestyle? No. Should we accept the person? yes. Does God love them? yes, no doubt about it.

I don't approve of homosexuality either, however, that's not more or less of a sin than any other sin out there. We're all the same in God's sight. We have all fallen short of the honor and glory of the Lord. That doesn't justify their choice of lifestyle, however, it does explain things. Accept them as is, pray for them, love them as a person, don't tell them ''you're going to hell'' JUST because they're homosexual, cause that's by no means the ONLY reason.

We need to look upon them with compassion, remember they're blinded by the world and by satan. We have ALL been there, different circumstances yes, but still we were just like them, lost. In need of a Savior. Bottom line. Show the the love of Christ, draw them into His word, don't push them away from Him or His word.

love them no more and no less than anyone else. Loves them enough to make them responsible and send Jesus to die but not enough to where God will compromise His own holliness and just overlook sin.

It's easy. God loves everyone. He loves homosexuals just as much as he loves theives, liars, adulterers, murderers, and other sinners. I don't know why we put homosexuality up on such a pedestal, it's just a sin like all the others. If you have homosexual urges, you can ignore them, just like when you feel like lying and you don't, when you feel like stealing and you don't, when you feel like cheating on your spouse, but you don't. It's not a special sin, and I'm not sure why we focus on it so much. Maybe because we've been brain-washed over and over to believe that somehow, homosexuals are so different from "the rest of us". Nope, they are just sinning, like all of us do, only they like to say they were "born that way". God loves all of us, and homosexuals are included in the "all of us". It doesn't mean he's happy to see them sin, or even to hear, God made me this way so it must be okay, but he loves them all the same.

"For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.: Romans 3:23

Yes, God loves all of His creation, even when we sin against Him. Jesus died once for all, including those who commit homosexual sin. I believe that their sin is no different than my sin. Both my sin and theirs nailed Jesus to the cross.

I DO NOT believe that people are born gay or straight. We are created in the image of God. He created man for woman, and woman for man. Homosexual behavior is highlighted in the Bible as an abomination before the Lord. It is a lie from the father of lies, Satan, that causes this unnatural attraction.

I have friends who are gay. I love them, and hope they love me as well when I am not perfect (about 100% of the time!). However, if they ask me right out, I would tell them their behavior and lifestyle is a sin. They know my beliefs, and I don't label them or discard them because of what they do. I would set limits on friendships in that I don't allow gay "dates" in my house or ever before my children. I don't believe in letting gay people act as a couple in a church setting. Is this "tolerant" behavior in the eyes of the world? No, but I don't think it is loving to let someone continue in a sinful behavior, running straight to hell, without explaining why Jesus died and what God expects from us.

I don't know if a person can be saved and be a practicing homosexual. I personally think that you cannot accept Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, but deny the Bible. It would be like saying that I can believe in Jesus for the things He said that I like and suit my lifestlye, but to heck with whatever I don't find "fun", such as sex outside of marriage, stealing, etc. I think it is a package deal. Can a person have homosexual thoughts and be a Christian? I do believe that is possible. We all have sinful thoughts at times, but if a person recognizes that it is sinful, seeks forgiveness through repentance, and does not act on the thought, then it is forgiven the same as any sin.

Woe to the churchs that are allowing false doctrine and the acceptance of homosexuality into their service, and are teaching others that this is acceptable to God. They are leading others astray, and you know what the Bible says about that!

Yup. Sin = Sin. We all sin every single last one of us. If at any point in time we forget this or choose to pretend otherwise, we seek to undue the power and the purpose of Christ's sacrifice.

Like it or not, the bible does not give us license to justify our own prejudices with the word of God. Yes, homosexuality is wrong. So is lying. According to Christ, thinking lustfully of a woman as a man is adultry. Adultry is wrong. Therefore dwelling upon lustful thoughts is wrong. It is sin. God loves homosexuals, adulerers, tax collectors, prostitutes, etc. Lets not forget CHrists words concerning healthy humans, they don't need doctors. The spiritually broken is who Christ came for. If anyone is spiritually broken it is the homosexual, the drunkard, the liar, the theif, the adulterer, the reveler, et.

Last time I checked it was All have sinned...

And to shutup anyone who says I'm condoning it.... I'm not. ALL sin is unacceptable to God. This includes homosexuality.

Love one another. (even the gay people)

Thta is fine and I respect that, but do you accept you uncle who drinks to much, you someone with a filthy mouth cursing all the time, or your heterosexual friends who are sleeping together before marriage? Homosexuals are no more lost than any of those other people.

I think the problem lies in that although a sin like the rest, homosexuality is quite different in that you don't see people running around saying it's okay to be a thief, liar, adulterer and murderer. They are not saying, "It's okay to be a murderer because I was just born that way/that's just the way God made me." Now I need to clarify that I don't say this with anger in my heart toward the homosexual, but with anger in my heart toward Satan and his lies. Unfortunately, that lie is being spread by the help of people, including those that may label themselves as "Christians" and being passed on to our children into schools. I despise any lie that keeps people away from knowing the truth about God and from God himself. It's just the same old deception as told to Eve from the beginning...."Hey, you don't have to listen to Him. Just do what you wanna do. Do what feels right." That may not be Satan worship but is the worship of self which is what Satan desires for everyone, because those that do will fall under the same fate as the devil himself. Satan doesn't care who you worship, how nice you are,the label you put upon yourself...as long as you are not worshipping/following the one true God.

That took longer than I thought. Note that I did not say nor imply that. I called it what it is. It is sin. The church absolutely needs to keep calling it what it is but we do need to make sure that we are calling all sin sin, not just sin that happens to offend us more than another.THe other problem is we won't be able to call it sin much longer in america. Soon, legislation will make it a hate crime.
