What should our views be on LGBT

Hey all,

I seem to never be on the same page with other Christians when it comes to LGBT issues. I see it as a disgusting sin that brings judgment upon the nations that accept its practice.

I'm always get accused of being judgemental, they say hate the sin not the sinner. However, I want no part of it, I cannot stand to know anyone who is LGBT. When in contact with them and despite becoming purely disgusted and very uncomfortable, I do treat them with respect just like any other person.

They see it as it's just like other sins, agreed, sin is still sin. But, this sin is praised and accepted throughout nations, practiced in communities, and accepted in churches. Would you praise a drunkard? Fight for rapist rights? Fly a flag supporting pedophiles? everyone sins, but no one should glorify it and it is against God's word.

I wonder if God were to group together your sins and expose them to the world how you would feel. How would you expect to be treated? How would you want to be thought of? Your attitude reeks of religious stink. I won't say i've known a lot of people in this community, but i once worked a job where i not only worked with numerous, but they were also my boss. Did i care? Nope. Did i approve of what they did? Not at all.
But, really, what you are doing is judging the PERSON. In order to judge another you must first raise yourself above them.

This sin is praised and accepted throughout the nations? Aren't all sins? Some may be less commonly celebrated than others, but ultimately every sin is celebrated. And really the biggest sin supported, if i had to guess, would be sex in general. Do you rally against those horrible sinners as strongly as you do against LGBT sins? Why don't you rally against pedophiles and rapists and drunks the same way?

You're trying to be 'politically correct' in your expression, but the truth of what you really feel shows much more than you realize. You better hope your sins aren't publicized and that strangers aren't judging YOU for YOUR sins, the way you do others. You may not be happy with the results.
And i'd love to see verifiable evidence of all this judgment against nations for accepting this sin. Not just random claims from someone trying to support their position, but something clearly defined.

Sounds like you already are "sure" about where you stand on this subject,and you already have been given "decent advice" according to what you've shared,what are you hoping for here?
Would you like ask us to add more advice?
Would you like us to give scriptures regarding this subject?
Your question is rather "vague" concerning what you hope to "learn" from this thread if at all...

I'm not putting myself above anyone or judging them, I'm simply asking why are Christians accepting that its apart of normal life. I will be the first to admit my shortcoming, only thing is I do not fly a flag and march for rights to do it. I am not perfect, that's why I need Christ like we all do.You want proof of judgment on nations? Look what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah, the main sin was homosexuality.

there will always be "popular" sins that are ok with culture, LGBT and fornication are pretty much the tops, plus greed and pride, also gossip, then a myriad of others lol

but it is not our job to point them out, its the HS.

i'll give you a personal example. my father is gay, he came out when i was 8. now this is how the church reacted, the leader told my father he was hell bound for sin, told my mother she had to get an annulment to particapat in church, and that her children (me and sibs) were bastards. none the less this pushed all of us away from God, and me and my mom are the only ones who regularly attend a church.

now im going to speak to you personally, if you when in contact "becoming purely disgusted and very uncomfortable" you are seeing them for their sin. not through the eyes of Christ.

i'm gonna tell you this i know the depths of sin, and the suffering it is. when i see someone in it i am overcome with compassion. i tell them sin doesn't matter to be only the cross of Christ and the greatness of His love. if they don't know that, thats the only thing i am concerned about.

being over-come with compassion is a wonderful thing,
but 'sin' always matters, it's our bound duty over-come-forsake our 'old-man',
the 'old' ways that God detests and to grow into the person 'after conversion',
that He longs for us to become, while in our fleshly walk upon this earth...
His Sacrifice/Cross is our strength/desire to do so on a daily basis...
