God is also Just, he must Judge sin, he can't just turn a blind eye and let it go...:)

sin is sin and God's love for us gave a way for that sin to be forgiven completely and forever and that way is to repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour...:)

Our God is a loving and forgiving God. Say it. I want to see you say it, just once.

Ha! If your source were the word of God, you would be able to tell the difference between what Jesus said and what Paul said.

As it is, you're rewritten your own bible to suit your interests, which happen to contradict what is actually written.

Homosexuality is not a choice. It is what they do about it that is a choice.

It is also worth noting that homosexuality itself is never condemned in scripture. In Leviticus, the act was condemned with regard to temple ceremonies. Paul also condemns the act along with a whole list of other things.

God is a righteous Judge, he must judge righteously, he cannot set sin aside because of love.

he has made away for that sin in your life to be blotted out, it is by the blood of Jesus, all you have to do is turn away from your sin and accept Jesus and just as the prodigal son God will throw his arms round you accept and love you...:)

Also worth noting that lesbianism is never condemned.

EDIT: Nope wait, Paul got 'em.

You're preaching to the choir now. And yet, we still disagree. How do you explain that?

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 2 Tim. 4:3-4

I never claimed that Jesus said something that he didn't say - I know that doesn't bother you *obviously* - but it's fabulous hypocrisy on your part.

you have some form of bias, most probably homosexuality, either personally or family or friends...:)

And you don't have a bias?

My "bias" is for all God's people to accept one another for what they are, and not for what they do. I couldn't care less if someone is gay or not. It's between that person and God, and nobody else. There is not another Christian on earth that has to meet with my approval. And, like it or not, they don't have to meet with yours, either. And it that Christian is gay...so what? Not my business. Also not your business.

As I've said before, Christians need to concern themselves a little more about sharing the good news with others, and a little less about spouting doom and gloom over which two people are sharing a milkshake. Worry a little more about making your own life pleasing to God, and a little less about sticking your nose into everyone else's business. You are a sinner. A sinner judging other sinners for sinning. What could be more hypocritical than that?
