How should the Christian Church treat homosexuals?

That's not what I meant: what I'm asking is: I brought up the point that most (if not all) people who suffer from homophobia are covert homosexuals themselves. You didn't argue with that so I took that as agreement (or a confession if we're going to call it a "sin").





So what I'm asking is: if God has a problem with homosexuals, and you already admitted my theory was valid, how can God be OK with you?

Ah, so you're saying God forgives "homosexual tendencies". I see. So by that theory being a closet homosexual is OK with Him, that is: you can be gay and still be a "good" Christian.

Just trying to understand where you're coming from.

no what I have clearly said is....you must repent from your sin, stop doing the sin, if you are gay or a murderer or theif before you accept Jesus you must want to change from your old ways....

if you have no intention of changing you are fooling yourself not God...:)

because it is true, any sinner who will not repent, turn away from their sins is not saved, it does not matter what the sin is but you must repent, stop doing that sin...

a murderer cannot accept Jesus and continue murderering...:)

Yes, but according to your religion, a murderer can kill, get saved and is forgiven. Where's the justice in that?

I was talking about you though. The dilemma I see here is: you've already said that's it's OK for you to be gay, as long as you keep it to yourself.

I'm just wondering, doesn't that make you feel conflicted? I mean it's like you're choosing one sin (lying) over another sin. I thought all sins were the same? :shrug:
