I have a problem with g@ys

My point is that im getting really tired of people who rip on homosexuals just because its a sin. why are they not ripping on everyone since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God? what is with the double-standard?verparanoidpers

If I might play Devil's Advocate (translation: don't start bashing me as a homophobe), homosexuality is picked on more than other "sins" because it's one where you're encouraged to openly embrace it.

....just like I have a problem with people who have lied, cheated, hated someone, have said the Lords name in vain, lusted after someone, looked at pornographic images, have been unfaithful to their spouse, have been an unwise steward with what god has given them, have made anything in their lives more important than God etc etc

Well... what about people who don't believe in god, waht would you say then? It doesn't seem you like you have much of that there, or hardly at all, unless you include the "have made anything in their lives more important than God", because if it were me to either save my family from certain death or believe that god is better than everyone else and would save my family for me, I would rather sacrifice myself.

Fall short the glory of god? That makes me dislike the possibility of liking more than I do right now. And when I say him what I mean is his ideals, his word and all that. It just doesn't seem right....

If they're truly Christian, they'd follow Jesus's example and turn the other cheek and welcome homosexuals. ;)

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

That lesson should apply to those who do not believe in God also. If you haven't done anything wrong in your life, feel free to hate homosexuals.

Considering the dirty things I do to myself while watching porn, I really can't judge a gay person for being gay.

I actually agree with this. As Christians, we know they're in the wrong, but let them make their choice. They'll find out when they die what their judgement is.

This reminds me of a conversation at work today. These christian women didn't know where to stand. A song was on the radio, they were bashing the lead singer (Michael something) of being gay how wrong it is, and they all faced conflict cause they said he looks real good :PDarkKar

Good point. They do that a lot with Elton John also.

What does that verse have anything to do with Christians bashing homosexuals?

Maybe from all of the teenagers these days throwing gay around as if it's the most derogatory term ever created.

Bingo. All sin is bad, and according to God, no sin is better or worse than another.
