No. He loves homosexuals, gays, lesbians. But in the bible it says that male and female should be together and reproduce.

Also, in Genesis it says that God breathed life into the man, not the animals. So that means they don't have a soul nor spirit. They live by God's guidelines called instincts. They can be loyal, but that's not love. But that's my thought, you don't have to except it or like it.

Yeah, but by that same token isn't any non-intercourse sexual acts between heterosexuals wrong since it won't end in procreation. That would also make any priory of birth control including condoms wrong in some level. And sex between two people and one or both happen to be infertile would also be wrong too. I doubt this.
Report as
Yeah, but by that same standard, then any heterosexual, non-intercourse sexual acts are wrong. So too is sex between two heterosexuals(straight people) wherein one or both are infertile. Also, that'd make heterosexuals using any form of birth control(including condoms wrong). And any heterosexual relationships that aren't sexual are also wrong. None of those things would usually end in having a baby, so they must be seen as a sin too according to your reasoning.
Report as
Then by your reasoning all of the following are also a sin...
1. Heterosexuals using any for of birth control at all. Pills, condoms, attempting the pull out method, etc.
2. Any non-intercourse sexual act between heterosexuals
3. Any heterosexual intercourse in which one or both people are infertile.

If I were God I 'd be more worried about polygamy/poly amouris. Now that's gross. People are souls right? Your soul is supposed to go to heaven, so who cares if those two souls (who are hopefully faithful to and in love with each other) have the same genitals. Love is love and if there's a God I think he/she/they/it would be open minded and loving, not judgmental.

I, for one, are sure glad you're not God, ha!ha! But God is judgmental and judging all of us is part of what He's going to do! If God didn't care what kind of sins we commit, He would not have inspired the Bible to be written to show us the way and detail in that Bible what is sin and what is not. We are supposed to also judge others in that we do not associate ourselves with sinners. We are judged by people by the company we keep. Birds of a feather flock together.
Report as
Also; all souls will not go to Heaven some will go to a place of punishment instead.and the love you speak of is only an emotion which can be controlled and directed at the right sources. Loving one of the same sex in a lustful manner is not a good emotion to allow yourself. Your same sex should be loved as a brother or a sister, not a lover!

But he should. Polygamy is disgusting and a joke to the word love. I can't believe there are so many people who are opposed to homosexual marriage between TWO loving souls/people when there's people in polygamist realationships teaching THAT as a way of life to their billion kids. It's sad. That's way worse in my opinion. Real love is between souls. If I marry someone it'll be because I love them, the body is nice but it's not what defines a person. Our physical selves are part of the attraction, but ultimately do you love who you love because of who they are or what's between their legs? I'm not a believer in the bible. I'm agnostic if anything. I believe there's something and/or someone and if they made people I think they love them for who they are, including homosexuals. I see 100% nothing wrong with it or them being allowed to marry. But we're not going to change each others opinions or logic, so whatever.

God loves you for who you are but he may not always like what you are doing. For example: in the old testament of the bible, God destroyed Soddam and Gomorra because guys were having sex with other guys and doing other evil things. If you claim and practice being gay or lesbian, God still loves you but he does not agree with your lifestyle. I am a firm believer that a man and a woman should be with each other but if I see a man and a man together or a woman and a woman together, that just makes me want to pray for that couple to turn away from their sins. I cannot and will not tell people what to do when it comes to their sex life, but I can only hope that they will turn from their ways.

What really get me is when a guy says he was born gay or when a woman says she was born a lesbian. God does not make you born gay or lesbian. People choose to be gay or lesbian because of the free power to choose.

You see God as a god of love and peace and harmony. But that thought process is incomplete with a lil factor you forgot: Jehovah God is also the god of wrath. He can get angry, do angry that He would destroy a whole culture and group of people.
Btw, Sodom and Gomorrah is just an example set forth to warn people what will happen if you do this. It's also a great proof that God hates homosexuality and all kinds of immorality.

God loves everyone but he hates sin and cant tolerate it. Sin is the abscence of God. you cannot be a homosexual and be on the same page as God. Just because society promotes homosexuality doesnt mean its right. its wrong. but that doesnt mean we cannot be friends with or love that person. God created man and woman to be together. its a symbol of christ and the church. if that bond between man and woman is broken then its denying christ and the church. christians shouldnt shove their bibles down homosexuals throats. instead be their friend. be like christ.

Biblically speaking, sex between men is strictly forbidden as an unwholesome act. The most anyone can move on this position and remain Biblically based is to say that God permits it but still finds it appalling, just as he does with divorce. The Bible doesn't really speak clearly on the issue of sex between women or marriage between partners who do not have sex. This is an issue that should only be addressed within the Church, and in the civil arena same-sex unions should be allowed as God allowed them in the book of Romans for those outside the Church.

I know people who were gay but they came to Christ and were dramatically changed. I can't imagine how much shame one would feel when standing in God's courts while God reviews their life. I can't....

All of us have weaknesses (being gay is not one of mine, by the way). God gave us all weaknesses and imperfections so that we would be humble. There are some people who's brains were wired wrong and has made them attracted to the same gender as themselves. During the millenium, I am sure people will no longer be gay, and I am sure that those who come unto God can have their physical imperfections removed, but that does not mean that simply being attracted to another person of the same gender is a sin.
Report as
But how do you know that? What makes you sure? I agree that they are thinking wrong and got morals twisted, but wired wrong? God wires people. So it couldn't be that. I think of it as an addiction; you try ones and you keep going cuz you feel it's normal or perhaps pleasant.
And is it a sin or not? Let's find out... A sin is something that has fallen short of the glory of God, right? So when Paul wrote that homosexuals and bandits won't inherit the Kingdom of God, that makes it a sin. I think you are mixing two different ideas, one coming from atheists and one from Christians. Black and white don't coexist....

God purposely gave us imperfections though. He does that so we don't become prideful. I know I already said that, but I feel I need to say it again. I think we might be confused on each other's views.

Here, I'll explain my psition as plain as I can: I believe that God gives all of us weaknesses so that we are not perfect, so we will not be prideful. I believe that one of these imperfections is being attracted to a person who is the same gender as yourself, which is gay. I believe that his imperfection is caused by the brain not developing correctly before birth, and the hormones are messed up, causing them to naturally be attracted to another person of their gender. That is my position. Your turn! :D
Report as
Alright... I believe one is not born with this problem cuz, like I said before, I know a few people who were gay and changed when they found God. C'mon, a baby can't be born gay. That's ridiculous! Lol. I know we are born not perfect. Do you think a thief was born a thief? Or Hitler was born as a psycho and murderer? Of course not. I believe it's the same here... One is born straight, but with exposure to the idea of homosexuality as an "ok" thing, they slowly become ok with it and later Satan tricks them into thinking that they are attracted to the same gender. They become ok with it and live their lives like that. Plus they are lied to again by Satan as if they were born like that. That's my revelation on this subject :)

When Satan is in control of ones heart, then what happens when you follow that heart?

Do you think it could be both? Because it would be pretty easy to be born with a brain defect.

Sin isn't a brain defect. It's a disease of the heart, soul, and mind. Not a physical defect though...
We are born to sin, not born sinning. A little baby doesn't sin when it's still an infant. But when it understands, it starts to go its own way and that's when our sinful nature goes into play.

I believe Satan isn't powerful enough to take over a loving heart.

Absolutely not. Marriage and the family are the bedrock institutions of our society. The strength of a culture can be measured in accordance with the strength of its families. While homosexuals may desire to "marry" as a way to gain social acceptance and legal recognition, allowing them to do would hurt our society and its future. Think about it: If suddenly there are two real alternatives to choose from, and both appear equally acceptable in the eyes of the government, then the common institution of the family as we know God created it - growing from the love of one man and one women - would soon become one of the many options. This would wreak havoc on society because God's way is the best way. Going against His plans hurts not only those homosexuals attempting to marry, but the entire culture in which they live. This is not only a political issue, it is religious as well. God is above politics. (My answer continues in the comments)

God has written into our sexuality a two-fold purpose: it is 2) unitive and 2) procreative. By "unitive," the Church means that sex should be a "person-uniting" action. By "procreative," the Church teaches that God desires for sex between couples to be "person-creating" (or open to doing so). Sexual acts that respect this two-fold purpose are moral and good; those that do not are immoral and evil. Homosexual acts, regardless of the intention of those who engage in them, cannot be truly unitive or procreative, so they cannot be moral and good in themselves. That they cannot be procreative is obvious; that they cannot be unitive becomes clear when we reflect on the matter a bit. Homosexual acts cannot "unite" people in the true meaning of the word. No matter what homosexual persons may CLAIM they mean by their actions, they cannot fully give themselves to each other in their acts as married people do. This is simply because the very acts they engage in are contrary to the natural law, which is God's eternal law manifested in His creation. For one thong, they cannot give a very important part of themselves to each other - their power to bring into existence with one's spouse a new life made in God's image.

Marriage is only possible between two spouses of opposite sexes. Based on the physical design of man and woman, it is obvious that men and women were made to be together. Strictly speaking then, "same-sex marriage" is an IMPOSSIBILITY; the very words themselves have no meaning. Though some Western countries - including Canada - have legalized so called "same-sex unions" and several U.S. states are considering such legislation, we must work to make sure that such unions do not become widespread. Marriage as a legal and social institution is intended to protect the family, especially to provide children with a stable, truly human environment in which to be conceived, nurtured, and educated. Homosexual couples are incapable of procreating naturally, and they don't provide a suitable environment for raising children because they lack the complementary nature of male and female love. Two moms do not equal a mom and dad, nor do two dads.

Absolutely not! Marriage was first invented by God in Genesis 2 to be between one man and one woman. Anything outside of this is a sin. This is demonstrated EVERYWHERE in the Bible if you want to look in Leviticus, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Romans 1:26-28 says "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" Gay marriage is unacceptable in God's eyes. The Bible is undeniably clear that marriage was meant to be between a man and a woman. (See Comments)

But I did see one answer that asked "If it wasn't, why did God create homosexuals?" God didn't create homosexuals, the homosexuals created themselves. You can trace it back to Genesis 3 when Adam ate the forbidden fruit. Since then, we as people have been futile in our thoughts. We are all sinners. There was a chapter in a book I read called "Every Young Man's Battle" by Fred Stoeker. The chapter was called "When Your Feelings are for Other Guys" or something like that. Fred explained, usually, why someone becomes a homosexual. It's usually, because of an absent parent. It has a lot to do with psychology. You might want to do a little research on that to get more details.

Hope this helps - Zack

Exi17, thank you for your answer. I do not believe that God hates gays. Or anyone else. I do believe He disapproves of their lifestyle. God doesn't give people diseases like Aids. But He might not prevent them from becoming afflicted with it. And He certainly does exist, wouldn't our lives be rather pointless if He didn't?

God gave us those people for a reason. If he didn't want it to happen, he wouldn't have ever made that possibility. Therefor, yes, I believe it is totally fine in his view. People who can't deal with same-sex couples need to think about that a bit more thoroughly. But, hey, what do I know... I'm only 15 and have a few friends that are dating people of the same sex. Wow... that sounds kinda... mean.... Sorry about that. I just hate when people say it's a bad thing. I, myself, am straight..... but I respect my friends and only wish that one day people will be able to look at those types of people as normal. I see a lot of bad things happen, and hear a lot of bad things being said about homosexuals... and it just isn't right.

GlassesGirl, thank you for answering the question. Wow, you have friends your age that are same sex dating!!??!
Didn't know they started so young! Anyway, you may not be very well versed on the Holy Bible, for in it, God expresses His displeasure of same sex dating and calls it "abhorrent" which is pretty strong language. God doesn't mince words about it and it's right up there with "worst sins", so you are going to hear bad things about it, because God say's it is bad! But it is up to God to judge all of us and that day may come sooner than later! Good luck to you.

God loves everyone. I know 3 little kids who were adopted by homosexual parents. They might get ridiculed as they get older. If anyone gets in trouble with God it should be the ones who hurt the feelings of the innocent kids and are making them doubt Wether they will go somewhere good or somewhere evil for the so-called 'mistakes' their parents made.

Same sex marriage is not ok in God's eyes. Do that mean that God hates people who are gay, no not at all. God loves everyone. There is no way to put this to sound nice but being gay is a sin. God created man and woman to be one flesh. That is my view and what I have gathered from the Bible. God calls us to love everyone also so this does not mean that I hate gays. Just means that I don't agree with their life style.

No, it is not. Leviticus 18:22 " ' You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.' " and right over in Leviticus 20:13 " 'If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them shall but put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.' "

Ladybug95, thank you for answering the question and I give you green for that. However, please note that Leviticus is a book of the Old Testiment- (OT) God came to earth as Jesus and the OT was put away and used for reference only. The Bible followed by Christians today is the New Testiment. (NT) That is the Book Jesus left for instruction and guidance for mankind. Saying now that people should be "put to death" for their sins sounds just like the Muslims whose Koran states that Infidels should be put to death- which is horrible! For God will be our judge, this is not mankinds responsibility. The NT tells us that homosexuality is a sin, it is abhorrent to God, it is wrong but God will be the One to judge our sins. (Putting sinners to death) Meantime we are not to associate ourselves with
those we know for a fact are committing such sins. For birds of a feather flock together. ~~~

Nope, it isn't. But it's convenient for christians to just say: "Oh, just ignore The Old Testament" just because they don't like the part where God says that homosexuals should die (Leviticus 20:13). Because there are lots of dark stuff in the Bible, especially in The Old Testament. But please people, read a little up on this stuff first. These things are also present in The New Testament. As an example; God destroys families (Matthew 10:34-37 and Luke 12:51-53).
