No one said Jesus doesn't love a sinner.Last time I looked the Word says...while we were yet sinners.But Jesus said "repent" and so did his disciples.Repent and be baptized,that was the message.When people say we don't want to mention sin,dont offend,you dont have to repent,well I dont know what gospel they're preaching but it aint the Bible!

You sure it was God?
Rules that apply are always the Forum rules, not your own.
EVERY sin is a sensitive issue, not just homosexuality.
Btw: 'let's take about gay people?' Well, if you really have such compassion for them, you shouldn't talk ABOUT them, but WITH Them. Objectivizing the gays only makes them the topic of yet another thread on homosexuality.

Are you sure it wasn't?
Lots of people set guidelines for the threads they start, and a good forum neighbor will keep them. It's called staying on topic, which this thread has a problem doing.
Yeah but unfortunately this particular sin has been blown out of proportion lately, and a lot of homosexuals get touchy about it. It should be discussed.
Someone was looking for advice on how to witness to them, not just talk about the current social problem. Do you have any advice on how to witness to homosexuals or do you just want to pick a thread apart and find fault?

yet he said that the things they do in secret are too shameful that they ought not to even be talked about by believers.
yet while he said prostitutes and thieves will get to heaven before priests and pastors, he said they don't any one make it if
they
don't renounce their sin and turn to god and go toward god instead of toward sin.
no matter what their political or financial or color or nationality, god has broken down the separating wall in christ jesus.
for those few who turn to him, to live his way. (i.e. not to continue in sin, thinking they've somehow 'got in' while still doing what they want to do)
read through the OT and the NT. god never treated sin and wretchedness as a 'sensitive' issue- plain out he dealt with it in the open, and plainly said how to deal with it as well. (not in secret, not in a closet, but in the open, out in the light).
how can a homosexual deviant be helped ? obviously only in christ jesus. there's very few 'places' they can find help to heal.
one that has been successful published a long time ago without fanfare, the book "the transformation of the inner man" which deals with problems a lot of people are facing, not just those who are sexually perverted, but also 'routine' moms and dads and children / families. it's no guarantee , but it's in line with scripture as far as i know, and may be the way someone can be healed(saved) (?? forgiven ??) ... or at least helped along the way....
actually, it is a 'sensitive' approach, and still without compromising god's word or his righteousness.
it takes time. (and not everyone has time. for some tens of thousands today is their last day..... don't wait)

..... it is written "there is none good but yahweh" by recognizing him and him and him alone as creator and judge, by faith in yahshua(yahweh's salvation),
and all mankind as wicked, wretched, deceitful, selfish, perverted, and abominable,
a lot of little troubles are avoided. (like eternal death and eternal suffering and eternal separation from him)

A lot of threads in the Bible room have good intentions. But the same ones turn into a lets see who can sling the most mud and verbal insults thread. As far as calling the OP names, if you go all the way back you can see her heart has been in the right place. Stuff like that is why people have a problem with Christians.
I just want to point out that that first sentence may look mean, but actually brings up a good point. Though God would want you to help homosexuals seek Christ with love, the enemy /will/ try to make you believe God is so cruel that He creates them then damns them for eternity. So yes, be vigilant, and definitely be judgmental of the spiritual guidance you are given, we are warned that often times it is NOT of God.
And homosexuality is in reality just another of many sins, but it has become a powerful weapon to lead people into death. I would love to learn of positive ways of dealing with another Christian who deals with these issues, and not become angry. Someone just posted a comment that really spoke to me, the person may not be rejecting the message, but the messenger.
