Sunnybrooke states, "I find it hypocritical that divorce is now considered moral, when there are many many more scriptures addressing the condition of human lust and faithfulness in the sanctity of marriage. How many of those who condemn and hate homosexuality are free of sin?." Any Bible believing Christian knows that divorce is sin, as is homosexuality. James 2:10 states, "10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. (NIV)." Faith in Jesus dying in your place on the cross and covering you with His righteous blood is the only way to escape eternal judgement and be saved. God then sends the Holy Spirit to live in us (sanctify us) to overcome our sin (1 Cor 6:11). He does not save us from sin so that we can openly live it (Rom 6:1-2; Rom 8:1-9; Heb 12:1-4). We are saved to pursue righteousness and glorify God as we become daily more like Jesus. Accepting homosexuals (in their sin) does not save them, but condemns them!

Sunnybrook says, "LOVE ONE ANOTHER as Christ commanded us to do." The Bible also clearly states in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, "9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (NIV)" We love one-another by being truthful about eternity. Accepting someone in a lifestyle sin (that the Bible clearly states will insure eternity in hell) is not loving one-another. Explaining 1 Cor 6:11, "And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." will deliver them from hell.

I don't agree with the fact that Christians are angry with homosexuals. We might be angry with the fact that they are forcing churches to accept them for who they are, when if they read their bibles, they would see that homosexuality IS a sin and an abomination before God (Leviticus 20:13). If it was a sin then, it is a sin now.
I can speak from experience that the gay community is NOT as large as they would have people believe and homosexual behavior can be overcome with the love of the Lord and some good christian counseling. I lived that lifestyle for many years and saw firsthand how isolating and lonely it is.
God wants us whole in every way and if we are not to sin, then homosexuals need to realize that God can make them whole IN HIS IMAGE, not the one they have. The Bible says we are to be like Christ in our behavior and follow the teaching of the Bible. Well, my bible says its an abomination. The Word is the same yesterday,today and forever, so that means its a sin... Period.

I am amazed at the anger and hate directed toward homosexuals, as if it were one of the Ten Commandments. It seems that in all that hatred, many Christians are forgetting Christ's greatest commandment "Love One Another" - focusing instead on making a Biblical judgment of others, when the Bible tells us that WE are not to judge. I find it hypocritical that divorce is now considered moral, when there are many many more scriptures addressing the condition of human lust and faithfulness in the sanctity of marriage. How many of those who condemn and hate homosexuality are free of sin? Jesus taught only that we are to love one another, but also that we are not to condemn each other unless we are without sin. ALL have sinned, and life here is a work in progress for our spiritual gathering in Heaven. Time has changed many perceptions of morality in the last century alone - divorce, discrimination against women or based on race - good and bad. LOVE ONE ANOTHER as Christ commanded us to do.
