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...

i don't know, you remind me of me before i stepped out of the my religion box. and i wasn't saying what YOU said was off topic, it was what i said. lol. sorry if i didn't make that clear.

also, i didn't say you condemn or bash gays, but a lot of people do. as i said, it was not a response to your qoute. and i'm not sure if gay people go to heaven either. hopefully they do. i mean if we look at all those priests that are pedophiles and molesters, don't they deserve heaven much less than gays who have done nothing but love? :/ that is, if heaven exists.

this reminds me of a postcard from postsecret!




oh haha, this is totally random, but how are you a senior member if i joined before you? *confused

i guess i just read your post wrong. i thought the very first part was towards me and the second part wasnt, so i was under the impression that you pitited me. i know that you did not accuse me of bashing, i was just clarifying for everyone. i myself am all for gay rights because they are humans too, and the whole point of christianity is LOVE. that's what Jesus was. That's what God IS. GOD is LOVE. if i had to describe God in one word, it would be LOVE. i do not condone, but nor do i condemn. i only LOVE. that's what God commands.

"20If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. 21And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother."
-1 John 4:20-21
and

" 34Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:

36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.""
-Matthew 22:34-40

so we see that the second greatest command is to love our neighbor as ourselves, and if we say we love God, but hate our brother/neighbor/etc, we lie. LIE. plain and simple.

and as to answer your question, i have no idea how i am a senior member and you are not in this circumstance...
