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... |

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... on the 5th page... so i'm not sure if u got the answer you wanted but when u think of it some people may say no because many hard-core followers don't want to promote homosexuality to up coming generations. but as you said the bible says that sexual impurity is wrong...but...iunno, it's a line... its just a line and people interpret the bible in many different ways, i can view the saying that god wants you to love all as a way to become openly gay, it may not mean that he wants you to love some one of the same sex as you would with someone of the opposite sex but again people interpret the bible in may different ways. I suppose that if people follow God with their heart and soul then becoming gay isn't going to happen, but when it does then what? and many people have that dilemma day in and day out... i honestly have no idea how to answer such a question in a way to help those with the problem. i question God in many ways yet i can't seem to devote my life for him, i believe he is real for i was raised that way and being BI sexual leaves me where i am now. I never was a hard-core church go-er and i may not be for the next 20 years |

on the 5th page... so i'm not sure if u got the answer you wanted but when u think of it some people may say no because many hard-core followers don't want to promote homosexuality to up coming generations. but as you said the bible says that sexual impurity is wrong...but...iunno, it's a line... its just a line and people interpret the bible in many different ways, i can view the saying that god wants you to love all as a way to become openly gay, it may not mean that he wants you to love some one of the same sex as you would with someone of the opposite sex but again people interpret the bible in may different ways.

I never was a hard-core church go-er and i may not be for the next 20 years !!! yay! you are the absolute closest to what makes the most sense!!! my goodness......you are right, i suppose that if you follow God with all your heart those feelings wont come, but they do, which is what makes it all so painful for that person...and i dont have a good answer to why they come and what happens when they do...and you dont have to be a hard-core church-goer to be a christian...some people sadly have bad experiences with church...but i stick firmly by the belief i have adopted that "The local Church is the Hope of the World" from Bill Hybles.... i think that my real point is...since God says that all sins are equal, which in theory would include homosexuality, does that mean that you can live in that sin, just like you could any other, and come out on the other end of death forgiven and in heaven like you would with any other sin? and i kinda feel bad for all the hateful arguments that happened in this thread...i suppose i knew it would happen, but...iunno, i guess i hoped it could be different...but, um, yeah...that it... |
