then you have made your choice if that choice has consequences you accpet them as part of that choice....:)

Consequences by an imperfect god who is too arrogant to admit it :D. Especially as he created it all, including homosexuals. Ever consider that?

Apart from the one I've asked you for several times? I'll say it again. Where does the bible condemn homosexuality. Or at the very least, where does it say we should ignore homosexuals?

Oh, and I want evidence rather than mere assertions.
homosexuality is condemned in the old testament law of moses in a context of capital punishment.

Leviticus 20:13
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
13 If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.

1) Not eternal (not explicitly at least)
2) Only homosexual intercourse, not homosexuals

lol...is this question for real....Godf made people, do you think God made taxi drivers and doctors???

Yes I do. If God made them homosexual then why do you condemn them? Pretty sure the bile says time and time again that God loved THE WORLD!!!! So where's the love for homosexuals??

okay. does that answer your question then, at least?

I already knew that the bible talks about homosexual intercourse. I was asking for
1) Eternal condemnation for homosexuals (especially as Jesus taught salvation for all)
2) A quote that says we should treat homosexuals less than heterosexuals despite Jesus teachings of 'love thy neighbour'

make your mind up, you said you never invited them you just asked your pastor if they would be allowed....:)
i explained this before to you. there are multiple churches. i never invited them to one church because gay couples are restricted from attending. however, i've invited them to other churches. there is more than one church. this isn't too complex. try to keep up.

all those who are not saved will be seperated from God for eternity on death...

homosexuals are not treat any differently anyone who has no intention to repent will not be saved..

Love thy neighbour did not mean Jesus tolerated everything and anything...:)

Again. Where is the benevolence here?

Are you serious? Homosexuals are persecuted by Christians all the time. Probably the most ignorant post I've read all day

Love thy neighbour did not mean Jesus tolerated everything and anything...:)

Also doesn't mean Jesus condemned homosexual behaviour either.

the following text is sometimes interpreted as referring to eternal condemnation for homosexual intercourse, although interpretations of permanence may vary.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

2) A quote that says we should treat homosexuals less than heterosexuals despite Jesus teachings of 'love thy neighbour'
non-existent within the texts.

lol...your the one falling behind with your own lies.....:)
you're calling me a liar for suggesting that i invited my father to church. is that so hard to believe that i would invite my father to church that you're calling me a liar? you must think very low of me to judge me like that. next you'll suggest to me that i will not enter the kingdom of god because i am a liar and liars don't enter into the kindgom of god. simply because i said that i invited my father to one church and not another. my father was married by a church which performs gay marriages. you're just mad that i invited him to a church in the first place.
