It's no surprise to either of us that I don't often agree with you on much, but on this issue, I think we are in 100% agreement.
A 400 lb. hateful glutton who gossips about everyone, backstabs his 'friends', lies on his tax form, and still won't forgive his sister for some disagreement they had way back in High School, (all of which the Bible finds 'wrong') has no problem feeling he has a "right" to condemn, to Hell, someone who experiences the protective sweetness of warmth and love for someone of their own gender. That just doesn't sound like trying to emulate Jesus to me.

Condoning is always wrong but never have I heard such hateful talk to a gossiper or a glutton or one with outbursts of anger or people living together or divorcing without a good cause.
I once had a conversation about it on another American christian forum. One guy thought I was lesbian. Wow. The utter hate. No wonder they get mad and want their rights. Why are they never that hateful against christians in Holland?

I think we should start a thread condemning PRIDE. That's just as wrong... it's an abomination to God, as well.
"Well, I may not be perfect, but at least I'm not a HOMOSEXUAL..... THOSE people are on an express train to HELL, I tell ya!"
We shouldn't condone ANY sin, anymore than we should select a sin (that WE are not guilty of) and castigate those that are.
How about we SHOW them God's truth, instead of shoving it in their face?

And this is where most Christians have it twisted. I don't have to approve or condone someone's lifestyle to still have compassion for them. I will love them and show them kindness as I am biblically instructed to do. I'm not going to go all Westboro Baptist on them as this will only push them further away
I think that for the most part Christians having not committed the sin of homeosexuality is the reason it is picked on and so vehemently condemned. I have broached this subject before, how much noise Christendom makes compared to how little (nothing actually) Jesus said about it while He walked this world. The way I was treated by other so-called Christians for simply mentioning this fact in one thread was disgusting, as they lined up and fell all over themselves vilifying me. A few of them continued to slander and gossip about me long after I stopped participating in the thread. It is apparent they love their sin more than they love the Truth.
I agree with you .
God tells us to examine ourselves to see that we are IN THE FAITH. Sometimes it doesnt look like it.
...Its not just pride but haughtiness. Proverbs 21:4
It is not so difficult to fall into that trap of being guilty of those two sins and God detests it.
We all(yes probably all) need to repent and ask God to teach us how to love as he does.

I wonder how many of us , in real honesty, know how to do that?
Unless I either just flat-out lie about it, or try to fool myself by posting a bunch of great-sounding Bible verses, I'm truly not all that sure I know how.
For instance, could you spend a few days around the Westboro Baptist mob, while they are spewing their hateful rhetoric at veteran's funerals, and really show them "love." I couldn't. (I've been there and done that with groups nowhere as nasty as them, and I came away maybe feeling sorry for them... but also disgust. Certainly not "love.")
