    Default Is it right to hate the sin of homosexuality?

    Christians should be kind, patient, willing to forgive and gracious.

    This does not mean wholesale acceptance and toleration of any behavior. No one tolerates unconditionally, God especially.

    Even homosexuals themselves show intolerance when they say we shouldn’t be doing what we do.

    Our society is intolerant of rapists, murders, thieves, as well as many other behaviors, and this is a good thing. We all have a moral system that discriminates against behaviors that we believe to be immoral, unjust, and wrong.

    The real question is, is homosexuality right or is it wrong? However one answers this, they must appeal to a moral standard to make a judgment one way or the other (saying homosexuality is OK is making a judgment).

    Our ultimate standard is God the Creator and what we believe to be His written revelation to mankind, the Bible.

    If one rejects this standard then what standard can they appeal to?

    Christians should be what so few are and you, certainly, are not.

    Christian.

    If you feel so inclined a comment would be appreciated.

    Respect a believers right to believe, but they should damn well repect our right to challenge such utterly illogical notions.

    Christians need to fear God, keep His commandments and vote their conscience.

    Christians need to figure out how to be less obnoxious bigots and learn to live and let live.

    That's how leftist assholes need to be. Christians need to fear God, keep His commandments and vote their conscience.

    "Fear God"?

    What a strange concept. I highly doubt a timeless being who is all about love has any desire to be "feared."

    That's because you don't know what "fear" means in that particular context.

    Its always odd for me to see atheists tell me how I should live as a Christian.

    I believe we Christians should live so as to be an example to others. We should teach and lead by example. I would no more try to legislate someone's private life than I would try to legislate their religion. Neither works.

    I firmly believe that homosexuals are born that way. If their sexuality is innate, it is from God. Whether mankind misunderstood or intentionally perverted what we were told or taught. I do not hate anyone (or try not to). I certainly do not hate someone for who they are when it does no harm.

    It works like this, the invisible man in the sky has a list on of ten things and if you do any of them he has designed an entire world full of fire and death and smoke where you will burn forever and ever until the end of time suffering in agony. But he loves you.

    Ya, the rest of us don't get it either.

"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Heb. 10:31.
