There are gay churches, because gay people are not willing to accept the Truth. They need to repent and stop sinning, just like everyone else.

the reason people are against gays/lesbians are the fact that they do not fit the social norm and they are not hetero like everyone else on this plant or so they think and also they find the sexual acts disqusting mainly religion is a big factor in this because we are taught it is not natural....

because most men on the down low refuse to believe that they are even homosexual. they  just got to have a  REASON  for this  since  they  actually believe it is just an occasional thing and doesn't mean they are gay. such men are so terminally in denial.

no, why would they be punished, if heterosexuals arent punished for their sexuality then neither should homosexuals.

Not at all! I back them up actually. If God wanted to promote homosexuality, then he would allow man-man woman-woman realationships, but he doesn't. He actually destroyed 2 cities (Sodom and Gomorrah) with a rain of fire because they were practising homosexuality.

The Bible is against Homosexuality - it is spoken against more often than any other sexual deviation - probably because God is smart enough to know it would be the most common deviant sexual act.\nHomosexuality is mentioned in the same breath as thieves, drunks, swindlers, and slanderers. ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) and Homosexuals are no worse than any other sinner.\n1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV)\n9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders\n10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.\n\nI think EVERYONE would fall into one of those categories at some point, so it is plain to see that all of us are just as much in need of God's grace and forgiveness as another.\n\nThe great thing is that Jesus conquered Sin, and he Has the power to overcome the sin in our lives as well.\n\nFor LOTS of testimonies from people who have been set free from homosexuality by the power of Jesus (many of whom thought they were "genetically" homosexual) click on the link below.

That's an excellent point.  However, the most commonly cited religious reasons for being anti-gay don't stem from the concept of the soul, but about the corruptibility of the body, which in turn influences the soul.  So, the rules established by the Levite priests and by Paul say that homosexuality is wrong, because it is the temptation of the flesh that leads to the corruption of the soul.\n\nThe Greek philosophers saw a difference between different types of love, Agape, Eros, and Thumos.  Agape was love that elevates us spiritually, that which makes us better people; Eros was the love of the flesh, the craving for sex; and Thumos was the irrational, dangerous obsessive love that drives people to madness, like Medea.  The Christian church fathers latched onto the idea of Agape, and because of the separation of Agape and Eros they could easily rationalize their denigration of the flesh as something bestial and worldly, thus further separating the flesh from the soul.\n\nSo, for instance in the Catholic church, the traditional stance allows for us to love the sinner but hate the sin.  The love for the sinner being Agape love of the soul, and hatred for the sin being the Eros of the flesh.  This has led to all kinds of ridiculous rationalizations like being a celibate homosexual is okay, but being a practicing homosexual is not.  \n\nI firmly believe that someday, not too far off this kind of attitude will go the way of divorce and be gotten rid of.

the difference between gay and straight has not been officially figured out... or else they would offer a "cure" or something-- like for people who think it is a sin or for those who don't want to be gay.

they sure seem to think so, don't they.\n\ni think one of the reasons they do is because it violates some of their own basic, christian tenets not to judge others.  you see:  they enjoy violating their own rules and sinning like crazy.  they don't care!  they're "forgiven" so they sin all they like.  they also, unfortunately, enjoy hating people.  gays are a great target, and this way, they can try to force gays to follow the very same bible-laws that they violate multiple times every day.\n\npretty neat system they've worked out for themselves, isn't it?

they dont want to accept the fact that Jesus was God and dont want to convert or go to mass or do something for God.\nthey just want to be ignorant and live life according to their will. they dont want to acknowledge Jesus as God or else they will have to give up time and worship Him.

Most oppose it because they have firm belief that it is a sin against God.   It was not in Gods plan for a man or women to engage in homosexual acts.  Sex is a gift from God and it is meant to be an act between a man and a woman as shown from the story of Adam and Eve.   Etc....  In my opinion the church only believes homosexuality is a sin because it is a tradition.   It was a rule put in place when they needed their communities to copulate so that they had parishioners to support their community and church.   Homosexual behavior prevents the production of children.  I'm not defending the church but I can understand where it came from and it's in human nature to take things to the extreme when they really strongly believe it is against their God.  Some people will do anything for "their God".

God accepts gays and lesbians...\n\nHe accepts ALL SINNERS if they turn away from their sins and ask for forgiveness.\n\nA gay is a person who has chosen a path of sin.\nA lesbian is a person who has chosen a path of sin.\n\nA murderer can come into the kingdom of God if he repents, and asks for forgiveness, and accepts Jesus Christ as their personal savior, and SINS no MORE.\n\nIf the person who has chosen a path of sins TURNS fro that path and decided on another path without sin, and does the rest, then they can also enter the kingdom of heaven.\n\nGod does not hate the sinners. He hates the SIN.\n\nComitting a homsexual act is in God's eyes an abomination. \n\nA person is not Born a murderer.\nA person is not Born a Homosexual.\n\nA person becomes a murderer when they commit a murderous act. They Chose to comit the sinful act.\n\nA Person becomes a homosexual when they commit a homosexual act. The Chose to commit the Sinful Act.\n\nA person can be born with homcidal tendancies, but they are not a murderer unless they are weak and they ACT on them.\n\nA person can be born with homosexual tendancies, but they are not a homosexual unless they are weak and they ACT on them.\n\nGOD can give you stength to NOT act on these sinful temptations.\n\nAnd yes, it is OK to be attracted to animals A person can be attracted to animals and enter into Gods Kindom. Unless they ACT on these attractions, they have not sinned. Beastiality is an ACTION not a way of life. It IS a sin.\n\nWe don't here anymore about NOT giving in to the Devil's Temptations. Why Not?\nDon't give in to temptation and you will NOT Sin.\n\nIt is the CHOICE of disobedience which is what you get Punished for. If you believed in God, and have chosen to be obedient to God, then you will not choose to give into temptation. Then you will not sin. \nThe next time you look at a person of the opposite sex lustfully, understand that you HAVE a CHOICE NOT to act on those Feelings.\n\nYES, I am sure Many people have entered into the priesthood because they CHOSE to be celibate. They decided having NO SEX at all was better than risking eternal Damnation because they gave into temptation and had homosexual Sex.\n\nRemember, a Person is Not a Homosexual until they commit the Sin. SO it is OK for a priest to be a priest as long as he does not act on his homosexual tendancies. (we have read that many have given in and that is why the Church is geting sued about so many alter boy situations).\n\nYour sins will be forgiven. Go and Sin no More.\n\nP.S. Ala would have the person committing the homosexual act STONED to DEATH With no hesitation.\n\nP.P.S. Christians are always required to DEFEND their Fairth from those who persecute them. Even though the Constitution guaratees freedom OF religion, this freedom is being challenged by those that read it freedom FROM religion. \nThe Congress shall make no laws restrict the free expression there of.. And they don't, but the liberal judges think they are Higher than the laws and try to legislate from the bench.\n\nP.P.P.S. A church can WELCOME all gays and lesbians. They also could say that they Welcome ALL sinners. Where do you think CONVERTS come from???

Everyone wants the possitives that come with Christianity. Jesus said himself that many shall knock to come in but few will actually enter. Of course there are gay people who want to be christians and maintain their lifestyles. Think of mobsters and criminals who kill and steal and sell drugs yet they wear crosses around their neck, or the stripper with a cross tattooed on her back.  \n\nUnless they leave behind all and follow Christ, they are doomed

Some Christians just feel that they are right and you are wrong and there can't be any middle ground because in their minds you are a sinner.I would never pass such judgements as I know it is not my place to condemn anyone to anything.Only God shall judge.But they, those who make the most anti gay speech, seem to think they know what God is thinking and what God wants.They forget that even Jesus was recorded as saying, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."What does that mean?It means that Jesus was telling those people who would judge someone that they should look at themselves and judge first.\n\nMany people just can't get past the whole "gay sex" thing.They spend all their time thinking about gay sex and call it "un-natural" or so forth.I often wonder why they do that.I am not gay and could care less what gays do in their bed.If gays are happy then that is all that matters and I would never judge them for only God may do that.And I would not dare to presume to know how God would judge them for perhaps love is blind in God's eyes and God may see only that two people love each other.And love is a beautiful thing.\n\nAs to what 'pathfinder' said about the Catholic Church, I have found that the church's official stance has been to reject gays and reject human rights and equal rights for gays at every turn.I even knew a guy, who was gay, and his local church, a Catholic church, rejected to hold his funeral because he was gay.Love the sinner but not the sin?More like hate the person for reasons that you have judged.

So therefore I imagine you are not dangerous to homosexuals (you support gay civil marriage for homosexuals), not dangerous to women (supporting their right to choose not to have their bodies enslaved), not dangerous to medical advances (supporting all medically supported stem-cell research) and not dangerous to educational achievement (supporting the teaching of evolution in science classes). If, in fact, you fail to fully support these on religious grounds, your Christianity is dangerous....to me personally, and to society at large.\n\nADDITION:\nYou do not know me. If you say you "love" me without knowing me, you cheapen both the definition of love and the experience of it. And you remain a danger to me because you refuse to allow me to marry, you enslave my sisters, and you promote ignorance over knowledge.\n\nSpare me your love and provide instead the right for people to live without your imposed religious dogmas.
