Is it right that I am not against people who are homosexual but have no tolerance for the act of homosexuality

WE are taught in scripture that we are to love the sinner and hate the sin.  So you are not wrong to feel the way you do.  And I agree it is destroying the foundations of civilization, as it always has every great civilization in history before they came crumbling down as it became more acceptable.

Go with how you feel. Are heterosexuals that way because of a choice they made, I don't think so. That would be the same for homosexuals, I'm sure, not a choice, but something "inbuilt" from birth.

No.  I believe some people are born with gay tendencies, but they still have a choice whether to act on them on not.  Being gay shouldn't be classified with theives and murderers though.  They aren't harming other people.  One can have their own beliefs without using harsh words or bashing.  It is against God to be gay but we are all under construction and have to find out the hard way on everything on this earth.  God said "Judge not, lest you be judged".  A gay person may be living in sin and won't admit it but they still have feelings and the right to be treated with respect just like everyone else.  How else will they open their ears to the truth?

Personally, whatever a person decide is his/her sexual preference, that is their business. I don't impose my  preferences about anything  on them, and I expect them to respect my preferences. Live and let live.

Sadly, no.  For some reason, people who don't understand homosexuality feel that they are somehow able to generate opinions on the topic.  I don't see why they have such negative opinions on something they don't even understand.

I really don't care one way or another.I'm not interested in\nother people's sex lives. As long as noone gets hurt,homosexuals have every right to express themselves.\nHowever,the fact is we live in a homophobic society so they can expect repercussions.

You will hear from a wide range of Christians on this topic:\n* Those who believe it’s wrong, tell you to stop immediately, don’t understand you, and don’t care to empathize.\n* Those who believe it’s wrong, advise you to stop, yet still patiently empathize with you as an individual and will stick by you. \n* Those who believe it’s okay and will bond with you because of it. \n* Those who believe it’s okay but won’t really care to work through it with you as an individual, since it’s a political issue for them. \n\nI can’t advise you on how to work through your feelings because I don’t know what experiences and events have led you to draw your conclusions.\n\nStill, I fully expect you to get lots of Bible commentary on the topic (Leviticus, Romans 1, and 1 Corinthians I think), so I won’t reinvent the wheel but will offer some other things to think about.\n\nWhat do you think it means to be gay?\n\nAre you considering it to be your personal identity now (“I’m gay,” as you said) or do you perceive it as simply a deeply rooted desire for homosexual relationships (“I have the desire to practice gay behavior”)?\n\nHow you define your feelings really determines what you’ll be willing to do to resolve them. \n\nOnce you define “gay” as your personal identity, anything insinuating the behavior might be wrong will feel like a repudiation of you as a person, not just a disagreement with the behavior… and you’ll feel the urge to avoid anyone or anything that views homosexuality as wrong because it feels like rejection of YOU. \n\nMy other advice is that the issue must be dealt with, not ignored. Suppressing the behavior without dealing with your feelings will simply result in a relapse later. \n\nYou need to find wise people in real life whom you trust (pastors, counselors, etc.) who you know will not reject you or simply try to force you into a box, but are committed to hearing you out and helping you work through things.\n\nYou also need to not be ashamed that you’re having the feelings, and find friends who you know will be faithful to you as a person and who you can share your inner thoughts and pain without fear of rejection. Whatever their opinions of how you should deal with your homosexual feelings, you should feel able to be open and yourself in front of them. \n\nIf you try to hide things or go it alone, you will be miserable and not much will be resolved. You need your brothers and sisters in Christ to work through this.\n\nJust as a side thing (and I'm not sure why I'm bringing it up, except it just came to mind), there was an excellent Christian writer named Henri Nouwen who grappled with pain and sacrifice and loneliness in his writings, who was discovered after his death to have been dealing with homosexual feelings throughout his life. He was not a practicing homosexual, and that struggle only fueled his desire to find God. \n\nPerhaps some of his writings would resonate with you. Like with Henri, God's primary desire is that you want him more than anything else, and that you seek him with your whole heart. The transformation that occurs within us as we really search for God sometimes resolves other issues in our lives, or at least helps us get through them.

Don't change who you are. Your not committing sin for  being Gay so don't worry about it okay.

If, by the word "homophobic", you mean, "one who is afraid of homosexuals", no, of course not. However, I do not approve of homosexuality, because it is runs against what Jehovah God, the universal soverign, approves of as natural. In God word at 1 Corinthians chapter six, verses nine and ten, "men who lie with men" are listed among those who will not inherit God's kingdom. Verse eleven then adds: "And yet that is what some of you were." This also runs counter to the common idea that homosexuals have no choice in their behavior.\n\nI hope that the difference betweeen disapproving of homosexuality and being homophobic are clear.

It is not really a human question.  By whose standards are you living?  People will condemn you for everthing you do that is not the same as them.  If you are poor, fat, gay, stay at home mom, working mom, in private school, in public school...etc.  People are not what 'should' matter.  It is between you, and the person you get involved with.\n\nIf you beleive in God, then that is another matter and it is also completely your own business.  If you DO believe in God though....you'll have to be honest with yourself and take the matter to HIM alone in prayer.\n\nPeople need to mind their business about someone's private life - and if they are 'Chrisitians" they cannot judge you -they can only look at themselves - and improve or make their own changes within.  \n\nLegalization would really depend on the religious influence of the country.  You cannot expect basic bible principles to change for your convenience. No need to be bitter - religion is not necessarily a bad thing, it is just not that convenient - for anybody who devoutly tries to follow it.  \n\nNot just gays. Nobody wants to feel discriminated against. It is not a good thing to have to live with. However gays have gained a lot - perhaps some feel that it has been at 'their' expense.  We all want things we cannot necessarily have.

i think your real problem is the conflict between your sexuality and your religion. i personally think there is nothing wrong with being gay. it would be the best for you to accept yourself the way you are, but that would mean you'd have to alter your religious beliefs to understand that your sexuality does not change your faith.

I say that you should try to treat everyone the same way that you would want to be treated yourself. It should not matter what any ones sexual orientation is. I happen to be gay myself and most people treat me with kindness and respect.

The Bible is clearly against homosexuality.  If you are gay, I recommend not believing in the Bible.

Your question seems to be based on some non-existent condition. Tolerance doesn't require people to support things they don't support.\n\nPeople actively oppose all manner of things, not the least of which is other people's choice of religion or philosophical beliefs.\n\nYour question seems to lack foundation in fact, you are free to oppose anything you want, just as others are free to oppose your opinions & beliefs.

What is your point- Homosexuality is banned for humans, thus the whole male and female concept. You are not an animal, but yet are reducing your standards to being one. Human beings are created with a soul, humans are going to heaven not animals. Who cares what ANIMALS DO< they are animals, that alone should tell you something, so are you saying all gays have the mentality of animals?After all you are comparing gays to animals.

Why is that such a small percentage of the population can cause so much grief. Most of the people in this country still see homosexuality for what it is morally wrong. If they must be together I am not even going to attempt to stop them. Neither will I ever embrace their cause,and this is what really irks me that the homosexual community and their supporters insist that I do so or then I must be a homophobe. The lifestyle in my view is no different than an addiction to drugs or alcohol or any other aberrant behavior. "I often hear live and let live" FINE don't try to force me into accepting what I cannot and will not.
