I know a few gay people, I have no problem with them, but it aint right. No amount of rationalizing it will change what the bible says about it, try as you may. Not saying all gays are going to hell or anything, just that it is a sin, just like any other, don't try to tell me it aint. You can tell yourself whatever you want, but don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining.

That's all I have to say bout that

The bible says that the Holy Spirit of God convicts us when we do wrong. It's that feeling you get when you know you are doing something that goes against the will of God. I'm not here to preach to you, I'm just giving you the facts. Don't come to me proclaiming the name of the Lord and in the same breath tell me you are homosexual. If you do not remove yourself from the sin then you are rejecting or blaspheming the Holy Spirit of God that is convicting you of that sin. There is only one unpardonable sin. If you are homosexual and you ask for forgiveness for that sin but continue to boldly proclaim your homosexuality then what does that mean? There is no scientific or biblical proof of anyone being born with homosexual desires. Those desires are of Satan himself and they must be rejected. I wasn't born to desire chugging a case of beer, or born with the desire to lay with every good looking woman I see, those are temptations that the devil puts on us. The Holy Spirit tells us to rethink it.....sometimes we listen and sometimes we don't. If you guys think someone is born homosexual then all I can do is pray for you. There is no factual basis for your reasoning so I can't reason with you.

you aren't going to change the boy no matter what you believe. I've almost come to the conclusion that i don't care what other grown folks do as long as it doesn't effect my life.

I don't mean to hijack the post, but for grins and giggles, how about we make a list of sins we are familiar with to see what all the Good Book says thou shalt do and thous shall not do.

and for each one, include the scripture (book and verse) which deems the action or omission as a sin.

We just have to remember that Grace is what saved us. No what we do, or don't do, but His grace. We need to show that same grace to others. Without it, we are all lost

Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

Prayers for this family, I have no idea how I would react

I wonder if being gay is worse than looking at porn? In God's eyes it is not,I don't think.

I think the answer here is addressing a person that struggles with either, acknowledging the struggle is real and telling them, "hey, you get enjoyment from this lifestyle...let me show you something that is even better."

This is when you show them God through scripture via the Gospel. Let the Holy Spirit work from there and pray for them.

I don't think you convince a person struggling with any sexual sin that it's not enjoyable simply by pointing out it's wrong. You have to show them something better and trust God to handle it from there.

So, what if their spouse dies, and they re-marry???.....they are still "re-married", and some churches won't allow a re-married man to be either a pastor or a deacon, regardless of the reason they re-married.
