I think a lot of people would find it hard to hate someone who is gay, once they became friends with a gay person (i have several gay friends as well)
Report as
uh what?
Report as
I agree completely

good for you indigenous so you know where im coming from right?
Report as
A lot of people who judge people for being gay or just hate them, have not gotten to know someone who is gay, personally. People don't realize that they are the same as us (as you mentioned above)
Report as
thank you. i followed you both anyways.

Hey, could you give me the bible verse which states that it is not ok to be gay?
Report as
hahaha its Adam and eve. not Adam and Steve

The Bible mentions sexual immorality, which is being gay, and says more than once that it is an abomination and a sin.
Report as
Sexual immorality is any sex that is not meant to produce children, and is not done while married. So you've probably done it too, best go repent now.
Report as
ok ok so the bible says that being gay is a sin. but arn't we all a sin at birth? there is even a verse that states that we are all sinners at birth.
Report as
Actually, no, I haven't.
Report as
Because it's considered, like I said, to be an abomination.
Report as
well your one of the few who hasn't then. most people have. I didn't mean to imply anything, just trying to make a point. (point being, the church says sex for pleasure is evil)
Report as
well then i guess thats why they say all teens are evil :)
Report as
All people are sinners, but sinning is still bad, no matter how many people do it.
Report as
yea but also remeber how many sentries that was ago

Report as
Right, but things like that don't change. Everything that was considered a sin is still considered a sin.

Not according to some people, but to me, being gay is just as normal (and should be as accepted) as being straight.

But, it doesn't even matter what I think, if someone is gay, they should not seek approval from anyone, except themselves :)

oh, but I thought God loved everyone, no matter what, and that Christians were taught to love, not hate.. you are being very confusing
Report as
oh well ur wrong again, just like always GOD DOES NOT LOVE GAY PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! can u EVER get it through ur HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Report as
Christians were and are taught to love and not to hate. but unfortunatly many seem to forget that and begin to judge others. Its unfortunate that many of my fellow christians are hippocrites who think everyone else is beneath them. Pride, wrath, and hate are the worst of all sins after all.
Report as
Yep, sadly loving everyone is being confused for loving only those who are your own religion and share your own views
Report as
i would rather be told in a positive way instead of fighting i want to be gay i aprove people who dont want to be gay but you know what learn to research gay is not a proble people want to be gay so what i get your opinion ok but god he is a good person but you cant always believe what you hear please i would rather be said in a manerly way
Report as
No, God loves everyone, but that doesn't mean that He can't be angry at anyone or disapprove of what someone is doing.
Report as
yeah, people tend to try and find ways to hate each other, rather than to get along. It's a shame really
Report as
Real Christians don't hate people. It says in the Bible to hate sin, not to hate sinners. So those who follow the Bible don't hate anyone.

http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c040.html Genesis 1-2 as God created male and female to be companions for one another, not two men or two woman. These chapters also discuss marriage as between a man and woman. Romans 1:26-27 is another popular verse condoning woman lying with woman and men lying with men. Both the old and new testament contain a number of other specific directions against homosexuality
Report as
the bible also tells us to beat our children with the rod. and that rapists should marry the girls that they rape
Report as
Proverbs 13:24 and
Deuteronomy 22:28
Report as
That was exclusively for the Jews at that time.
Report as
22:28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days
Report as
So, can't ANYTHING be exclusively for the Jews at the time?
Report as
No. Deuteronomy was specifically rules for the Jews. Some we can apply to our lives, but some, like what you just said, obviously wouldn't work today. And Proverbs, same thing. It was advice for people at that time, but most of it we can use and apply effectively to our lives.
Report as
Also it must be noted that the bible is very, very old, and has been manipulated greatly for the churches benefit. basically, anything the church frown upon became a sin. it may not be now, but the church used to be one of the most power-hungry institutions in existance, and needed lots of money and obediance.
Report as
Hm.. sounds like an excuse to me, but let's agree to disagree on this one. I just support ga-y men and women is all
Report as
agreed sevas, once again
Report as
this conversation has ended NO MORE TALKING
Report as
Sevas627: You couldn't be more wrong. Do you realize that there are more copies of the Bible than any other ancient text at that time? More copies of it than Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey." And they only have minor variations.
Report as
Over 10,000 Old Testament manuscripts have been found, not including over 600 found in the Dead Sea caves. And over 5,700 manuscripts have been found of the New Testament.
Report as
Compare this to 7 for Plato, 8 for Thucydides, 8 for Herodotus, 10 for Caesar's "Gallic Wars," and 20 for Tacitus. Only hundreds of manuscripts have been found for the works of Demosthenes and Homer.
Report as
So, if you consider those works to be reliable, then you should consider the Bible to be REALLY reliable.
Report as
jesus christ people shes just asking for your opnions. she doesn't need to be told shes an abomination and that her way is the way of the devil. god people.
Report as
Okay, done.
Report as
You twisted my words. I said the SIN is an abomination, not the person committing the sin.
Report as
thank you. and man we get it you dislike gays. theres no need to be telling them that they're going to be damned into hell for loving someone of their own sex. why answer a question about something you dislike.
Report as
Jackie: Sure. No hard feelings?
Report as
all this may be true, but The bible is made up ONLY of what the church approved/edited and many of these where personal accounts or letters not really written to be in a book in the first place. and anything that didn't make the cut (sit right with the church) was burn, destroyed, eliminated. And besides, I only take my morales from the bible, not much else, can't say I take everything in the bible literally, nor do I put 100% faith in a book centuries older than my families bloodlines can even be traced.
Report as
i didn;t twist anything. the way your stating it makes it seem like that was what you intended us to get from what your saying.
Report as
My last post was in responce to "THEDUDE7's" responce 10 minutes ago.
Report as
Leon: I never said I disliked them or that they were damned.

Sevas: the Bible was written long before the church was created. And, actually, the whole reason the Reformation took place was so that the Bible could be taught in its entirety.
Report as
@thedude: yep lol we kinda disagree on religion stuff quite often
Report as
Haha! Yes we do. But I don't ever have any hard feelings. Do you?

Whether or not it's okay, you are what you are. If your gay your gay, if your not your not and if you bi your bi. I'm not personally gay, but I don't believe in judging or looking down on others because they're different.

@waltee--right on! The bible tells us that homosexuality is an abomination which therefore would be a SIN.

Report as
and how would that affect people if they are
Report as
It would mean that they are sinning and need to stop.
Report as
Even if it is a sin (I've yet to find that scripture) all that's needed is to acknowledge Christ and ask forgiveness for our sins. We are not meant to be without sin, Jesus died so that we could be cleansed of our sins, do you mean to tell me you don't trust and acknowledge Christ, some Christian you are.
Report as
Read the comments under the_angry_man's answer, and you'll find the Scripture. And, yes, I agree. The answer is still that it's not okay. No sin is okay.
Report as
No sin is okay, but everyone sins. It's not right to single someone out, just because their sins are different than yours.
Report as
I'm not singling anyone out. The question was about being gay, so I was saying that being gay isn't okay. I think the sins I've committed aren't okay either. I'm not in any way being hypocritical, I'm just staying on topic.
Report as
I'm just quoting what the bible tells us---i said it was a sin--who am I to be judgemental against ppl who are what they are as individuals---just follow your heart&be yourself. I guess I should have elaborated more in detail with my last reply. As long as you don't make it a point to try and convert others to your lifestyle. My former friend of 22yrs was gay...he told my son that Christ was gay& that being gay was kool--he also wanted to take him to a gay bar. My son was 15 at the time&called me to pick him up. I was pissed for awhile, but I forgive him--i just choose not to socialize with him anymore. I don't agree with gay but I don't hate you for it either. Good day to you.
Report as
being gay is being gay but when it comes to telling someone you need to comfort them with a serious answer and explain to them what you think what i get hear is a little bit of both when i mean by that is when people say not is not ok to be gay i think it is ok to be gay or even bisexual and if people arent then who cares like what people said be yourself you are yourslef not others you can suggest them but realise this bible was written how many years ago like plz we need to get over this god yes i believe in him but you cant always believe everything . in theses days today you find over 500,000 gays bisexual and others and if people have problems they should not disrespect them and tell them its not right to be gay of course it is i approve people that are gay they are like the bestess friends in the world but anways confort people instead of giving the not cool answers thxx

after Adam and Eve, Cain and Able where the only people on earth. I wonder how that worked out myself.
Report as
Whoa... I've never even thought of that. Mind blown
Report as
Adam and Eve had more kids than just two. It never says that Cain and Abel were the only kids they had.
Report as
Btw, after Cain kills Abel, he is given a mark by God so that no one from the village nearby will kill him (which shows that there were more people on the Earth).
Report as
It never mentions any others. And even if it did, that's incest, I think that counts as a sin. (and it's also pretty gross)
Report as
Genesis 4:17 mentions his wife. So there were more people on the Earth than just Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel.
