gay and christian, can it happen? Options

[Juris Khan]

can someone be christian, really christian, follow christ and everything, and be gay? can you be a gay person (and i am targeting specifically guys in this thread) and still follow christ with all your heart, mind, and soul? Because the bible says that sexual impurity is wrong...but...iunno, it's a line...but i know so many people who are christians and follow christ with all they are, but struggle so hard with their homosexual feelings....

let's hear it...

Oh. Mis-read. Went off on a unnecessary tangent. xD

To answer the question at hand, yes, I do think that is possible. Being Christian is about the belief in Jesus and exemplifying our faith in the way we live our lives. However, as humans, we are bound to make mistakes. These mistakes are called sins. Being gay is obviously a sin. So then, if you put this into the context of your question, you are asking, "can someone be christian, really christian, follow christ and everything, and be sinning? can you be a sinful person and still follow christ with all your heart, mind, and soul?" Yes, you could. See, the point of this is to put "being gay" on an equal table. They do not hold more or less value than another. All sins are equal in God's eye, except for the unforgivable sin of blasphemy. I don't know what it is, but people tend to look at being gay differently than let's say, if you lied. Sins are sins, people. Simple as that.


Maybe that didn't help or make any sense at all. It made sense in my mind at 3am. If not, just ignore this post....

i think this is the direction i kinda wanted to go...but now, like i said in my other thread about christians on createblog, when you accept christ, it really is supposed to bring about a change...ie, you would be driven to sin less, and become more christlike and therefore you...iunno...this is going to come out wrong, but you wouldnt be gay...? i hope that came out better that i think it did.

I don't know, you would be living in sin. If you believed in the bible and followed the bible you would always feel like crap about yourself... consistently feeling guilty about the life that you are leading. I mean, I guess being gay is just like any other sin. It's forgivable, but it's something that you are consistently doing. It's strange.

Isn't everybody constantly living in sin? Think about it. How many times do you sin daily? Sometimes, you sin without even knowing it. Because "being gay" is such a big deal, people tend to think that gay people sin more due to a sexuality preference? What the fcuk? Once again, All sins are equal in God's eye. Being gay doesn't have a higher value of sin than disobeying your parents.

Tell me, how do you constantly "be gay"? It's not like gay people are thinking of banging people of the same sex all the time. Because, really, that's the controversial issue with being gay, right? Sex and attraction with/to the same gender. There are other things that are usually associated with being gay, like a higher voice or an increased awareness of one's appearance... but that would mean girls are gay and sinning, which is ridiculous.

Yes, it's suppose to, but whoever said that when you accepted Christ, you would suddenly change your sexual preference? Maybe the change occured in a different aspect of your life. And a lot of people think that being gay is a choice. You can choose to wake up one day and say, "I'm into the opposite sex now!" But think about it. Have you ever tried to bury your feelings about a certain somebody, like maybe after a break-up? Or if you really like somebody right now, try to tell yourself to not like that person anymore. It's not that easy eh? Harder than it sounds. Isn't that what being gay is? Liking people of the same sex? I dare you to tell the gay community that sexuality is a choice. Can you really decide who you like and don't?
