Does God hate gays?

Everyone has a choice…well I try to imagine if everyone on earth was gay with the exception of a group of heteros that are going against the grain. If I knew God wanted me to be gay but I had feelings for men the way I do…I’d have to do what came naturally b/c I couldn’t just change the way I feel just like an old friend of mine who was gay and we grew up in church together couldn’t. Everytime he would come down from Atlanta to church the sermon just happened to include homosexuality. Trust me…they(gays) don’t choose their preferences…they just are. Just like we are. My church obviously says that this is a sin and I don’t disagree but at the same time so are a lot of others things that most of us do everyday. Judging, cursing, white lies, envy, greed..come on now. We all do things. Is one worse than the other? Maybe…maybe not..they’re all forgivable. In the same way that most heteros are law abiding tax paying citizens…so are gays. Doctors, lawyers, celebs etc. As Americans while we enjoy all of our freedoms we have to accept along with that that we can do what we want within the rights of the law. Gays aren’t violating the law… they’re violating some people’s religeous beliefs… but there is a clear seperation. And back to the subject…If you notice there is a difference between the old and new testaments and the ferocity of the old testament and the calm forgiving nature of the second. We still have the second test. God who loves us and offers forgiveness no matter what we do. I think in return the least we could do is honor his wishes and treat other “children of God” the same.

God does not hate anyone, but, he does hate sin, and the bible is clear on this subject, homosexuality is a sin. I do not believe that anyone is born with this tendency, I believe it is inflicted upon them, mostly while they are young, they have been intervened with, causing this tendency, or if it is passed thru the genes, I believe it can still be dealt with. God can deliver us from anything that we turn to him about, that is his business, and it is his law that we live by, the ones that love him, that is, because his kingdom is not of this world. There are multitudes now, in the valley of decision, being drawn into this lifestyle, thru the power of the spirit, and this is not the Holy Spirit that I am speaking of. Satan is real, just as God is real, and he is having a hey day, with a whole generation of young innocent vulnerable young people that think it is cool to be this way, and there are multitudes of cheer leaders, cheering them on, from every side line. Declaring that there is no God, and if there is one then he would have to think the same as they do. This is a lie that Satan is planting in each mind, so that he can control their actions. If you read this please know that God gave the bible as a book of instruction, and it says that this is a sin, and needs to be repented of, turned from , delivered from. So, if you persist in believeing this is ok, then, know for a surety that according to the bible it is not ok. You can be free, you do not have to obey this “feeling”. God would not have given a command, if it was not possible to follow it.

the bible is not the word of god. It is the word of people who preach about god. I am a Christian and bisexual. I believe that if god is truly god that he does not hate anybody. The bible was written in a time when many children died at birth from diseases or other causes. Obviously if you are gay you cannot have children. That people that actually wrote the bible were afraid that if the population kept declining that humanity would end. They didn’t want the species to die out. They were simply trying to save the human race (well they thought humanity was comming to an end so in their own eyes what they were doing was justified) It is also the same for masturbation. They didn’t want you wasting your seed when you could be producing children with it. Over time homosexuality and self love were veiwed as sins because of people misinterpreting the bible and not realizing the time period in which it was written. Homosexuality is not a sin. Neither is loving yourself. God loves everyone.

Oh, well. Then we hit a dead end.

well said bjteray

Its also stated that no sin is any worse then another, So how can we as humans judge something and consider it worse then anything THEY have done.

To all the people who honestly think GOD hates us queers my question to you is…

*Have you ever lied? ABOUT ANYTHING?…thats a sin..and according to the good book its no less severe then being gay…Joseph & Potiphar’s wife (Genesis 39:6-13)

*Have you ever looked at a Naked Body? Guess what? Its no less serious to do so according to the Bible then being gay!…Ham & Noah (Genesis 9:20-27)

*Ever cheated on anyone? Shame on you! But according to your source its no worse then being gay…Abraham, Sarah & Hagar (Genesis 16:1-16, Genesis 21:8-21)

*Ever flirted with anyone and used your eyes? (seduction with eyes)..The seductress and her victim (Proverbs 6:24-26 NIV)

*Every been Divorced?

*Ever not forgiven someone?

*Ever been bitter?

*How bout drunk? Have you ever been drunk?

*Ever get mad and swear?

Seriously…to all of you who think we are such an abomination..spend some time looking through all the sins possible and ask yourself if you aren’t as guilty as you are accusing of us…I recommend

wait wait wait…I give amblessed credit…because although his opinions are obviously shown, I think they are the most validated and open-minded on this site for this particular topic. If we’re talking about “arrogance, ignorance, and spitting in god’s face”, then people who judge homosexuals and the priests who engage in the same actions are the ones who possess those qualities. No one has the right to judge anyone. And for that, I apologize criticizing other perspectives. However, let’s leave the judgements up to god if SHE even exists…shall we? k thanks

Furthermore, the bible I believe, is not to be taken literally. People speak of Adam and Eve as if it is a literal story when really, NO ONE knows if they even existed. So is it true just because some MEN wrote it down? MEN who also wrote that EVE was the one to tempt adam into eating the apple? RIGHT! because that makes sense! Even if it WAS literal, how do we know that ADAM wasnt the one to tempt Eve? WE DONT! It’s obviously easier to believe written words from people we havnt even met then actually come up with our OWN perspectives…isnt it. Thats why WOMEN are seen as the inferior type even to this day…because men in that day made it a point to make women the inferior gender. and IM supposed to take the rest of the bible seriously? you couldnt pay me!

the end.

Good point, nobody has the right to judge anyone else, because none of us is any better than someone else. Also, it’s a fact that some people are born with a natural attraction to the same sex. But, I still think they have a choice.

According to the Bible, God hates sin - any and all sin - likewise a Christian is to hate the sin but love the person - ANY person who accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, in their lifetime (recieve salvation and turn from their sin) is Heaven-bound !! - every person has that choice…Hope this helps !!

I’ve done it again… posted in the wrong name. The Jasont post was actually done by me, sorry, the computer keeps the last name going that was using it, and he was, I forgot to check before posting, bear with me, maybe I’ll get it one day.

It is said that god loves all his creatures. It is usually those that fear what is different to themselves that hate. If there truely is a god then he should not be able to hate, he should love all his creatures as preachers like to preach.

well you can think what you want…but you arent gay im assuming…which means that your “thoughts” are only so accurate…or basically…not accurate at all. If you had a choice between being gay or straight, would you REALLY choose to be gay? I didnt think so. So I guess you have nothing to back up your hypothesis. sorry.

what the hell no one cares im Bi and I dont care

it isnt even real how would you even know anyways dont common hating me now everyone I speaking my minde its not real and you know it

something to say? say it to me on my page im not on this one again say it to me on my profile

Chemo Tink xx

God doens’t hate gays!!! He hates’ that they are sinning. God made Adam&Eve. Not 2 guys. Not 2 Girls. & God didn’t create being gay or whatever. The world brought it upon itself.. The corruption everything! We brought it upon ourselfs.

NO HE DOES NOT, ITS THE DAMNN CATHOLIC RELIGION AT IS MANIPULATING PEOPLE INTO THINKING THAT GAY IS THIS ALMIGHTY TERRIBLE THING. GOD LOVES EVERYONE WHETHER THEY ARE GAY OR SIN THEY WILL BE FORGIVEN. (SORRY DON’T MIND THE CAPS– KEYBOARD IS MESSED UP.,…)

GAYS DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE YOU IDIOTS THERE BORN THAT WAY GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD DONT you THINK IF GAYSHAD A CHOICE THEY’D BE STRAIGHT

FOR GOD SAKE

God didn’t make people attracted to the same sex. People are veryyy verryyy messed up. And that’s not because of God…

again… my answer for you… is free will. God gave us free will… and some people just tend to make bad choices.

who says I have limited knowledge? maybe you should check your funmail for more clarification before you assume things. It would be a SMART thing to do.

Sexuality is a gift of pleasure and communication between to persons at a deeper level. Some people confuse it with reproduction. God made that reproduction uses the power given by sexuality for making it attractive, otherwise people would not reproduce, but one is not the other.

There is nothing wrong with sexuality and attraction between any gender or in any way, it is not necessary that are opposite sex, it is not for reproduction. Sexuality is just a feeling, an emotion a way of sharing and it can happen between any individuals of any gender.

God makes no differences between genders, all are the same, after all we are made at his image and God has no gender. :)

legion - where exactly did I say ‘gay’ people ? >>> arrogance, ignorance, and spitting in God’s face - that is how I would define as ‘one who hasn’t bit the dust yet, but who most certainly will’. <<<

Let me help you - Nowhere :-)

However, it would apply to ANY sinner, of which we ALL are - just some have had their sins forgiven - never more to be remembered, through Salvation - the price Jesus paid on the cross - totally your choice to accept or reject Him.

I ain’t hating on gays and 4sure god don’t hate gays he loves all he’s children,but last I heard was Adam was made for eve he was not made for steve no ifs no buts,no maybes,stix and buts don’t make no babies…I repeat I ain’t hatin ight I’m jus sayin what I heard

I agree with digitaltrix. well said

oh and your Mormon? I guess I rest my case. Does no one know about the massacre that happened in the 1800’s when Mormons killed settlers just passing though. Lets do some research where Joe Smith apparently “knew nothing” about what happened. Shall I say more? Do I need to embarrass YOUR side of the spectrum a little bit? If you’re so worried about sin, I would focus on the sin that takes place in your OWN sector before you try and voice your opinion in other places.

In my opinion; God of course does not hate gays he loves us all as his children and those of you who chose to ignorantly blasphemize God’s name you are foolish indeed. But to answer your Question NO, But being gay is a very disgraceful act as well as an abominable sin, we were not meant to be gay our bodies were not created to be disgraceful and overall plain disgusting its just not natural.

God Bless you all

God shouldn’t hate gays. If a man would rather have a relationship with a man, and is happy, god should also be happy.

I support gays, lesbians and people who are different and happy, it takes a lot of pressure to do something like that and still be happy, to ignore all the taunts and be happy with a soul mate, who may or may not be of the same gender.

You argue that I can’t place an opinion about gays because I’m not a gay guy. But what makes you more qualified? I am not trying to dis on gays, but I have known people who have been straight for the first few decades of their lives and then become gay/lesbian. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say that I know all about it! I’m just placing my opinion based on my limited knowledge, just like you.

god doesn’t hate gays I must agree with amblessed saying that god hates sins, and as long as its mentioned in the bible so its a sin,and god doesn’t make people attract to the same sex , its their choice,and sure god is so merciful, but how could you do something while knowing that god hates it, for me loving god means doing what pleases him, wish you love and peace.

legion–

I disagree. Being gay is not like being retarded. Although some people are born with natural feelings for the same sex, they have a choice. Retardation is not something that you can choose to stop.

And in answer to the original question, no, God does not hate gays. There is no person in the world whom God hates. He loves everyone ever born, because we are all his children. Wrong choices we make cause Him deep greef, but He loves everyone the same.

Being gay…I sure hope not. I never chose to be gay, so I believe God loves me for the way he created me. The bible in its original Aramaic and Hebrew texts doesn’t actually denounce homosexuality as a sin; it denounces men who sleep with men for the requirements of a Pagan ritual. The goals of these versus are to denounce Paganism, not homosexuality. The bible does say we are to love our neighbors…even if they’re sinners, because we are all sinners and to God, all sin is the same. So if God hates gay people, then he must also hate liers, adulterers, and those with too much pride (snobs).

arrogance, ignorance, and spitting in God’s face - that is how I would define as ‘one who hasn’t bit the dust yet, but who most certainly will’.

To dijitaltrix: I wasnt trying to say that I think gays should be hated. I am a lesbian and I just wanted to know why some christians are jerks.

and if its wrong and cruel to judge other people then why is it ok to judge homosexuals?…which is exactly whats being done here isnt it?

no ones perfect not even god. he createst everyone how he wants. The only one who hates on “gays” is stupid people.

No, in fact. I think god was gay. How else could he have made it so pretty? lol

I agree with mrickstone, you can’t judge other people, it is just not right and it is very cruel.

Yay haileybre!!!

I would hope not .

lol yea right. thank you…at least someone gets it

God loves us all equally. Always believe that!

Once people start thinking in negative mannner they just impose any rules.I believe in bible also.It depwnd on situation.

its irrelevant, even if God did hate gays is that a good enough reason for you to do the same?

thank you!!! legion…sometimes I feel like you and I are alone in these answers lol

God made man in his own image, and women was made out of a man, so God must be part women… does that make him gay?

another one bites the dust

God doesn’t hate gays he hates sin.

anddd another one bites the dust

Do you think there’s God?

yes I do believe in God

Are you kidding me? You people are morons. Do you think homosexuals just wake up one day and say to themselves, “well hmm…I think I want to be gay from now on…I want to be discriminated against, outcasted by my parents, told im going to hell, etc” righttt. Im sure thats it. If you’re not gay, then you obviosuly dont understand. Ask any homosexual and I highly doubt that they’ll tell you they CHOSE to be gay.

And If you think that this is a sin, your even more of a moron. Who do you think you are judging other people? Why not judge yourself once in a while? The last time I checked, people whose choice is to be gay, didnt affect anyone else did it? Get a life. seriously. Its because of people like you that our country is so messed up. And I think we all know who im talking about.
