Some Christians just feel that they are right and you are wrong and there can't be any middle ground because in their minds you are a sinner.I would never pass such judgements as I know it is not my place to condemn anyone to anything.Only God shall judge.But they, those who make the most anti gay speech, seem to think they know what God is thinking and what God wants.They forget that even Jesus was recorded as saying, ';Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.';What does that mean?It means that Jesus was telling those people who would judge someone that they should look at themselves and judge first.
Many people just can't get past the whole ';gay sex'; thing.They spend all their time thinking about gay sex and call it ';un-natural'; or so forth.I often wonder why they do that.I am not gay and could care less what gays do in their bed.If gays are happy then that is all that matters and I would never judge them for only God may do that.And I would not dare to presume to know how God would judge them for perhaps love is blind in God's eyes and God may see only that two people love each other.And love is a beautiful thing.
As to what 'pathfinder' said about the Catholic Church, I have found that the church's official stance has been to reject gays and reject human rights and equal rights for gays at every turn.I even knew a guy, who was gay, and his local church, a Catholic church, rejected to hold his funeral because he was gay.Love the sinner but not the sin?More like hate the person for reasons that you have judged.Why is it so hard for fellow Christians to veiw homosexual relationships as loving and commited?
i'll bet that many feel, how ever much they may be misguided, a sincere urge to resue the ';perishing.';
Personally, I believe they're using their faith and the bible as fig leaves to cover up their own insanity with the matter.
Simply put, bible writers reveal NOTHING about homosexuality.
I have been working with a lot of homosexuals and I have a friend who is gay, so I know, that some of them are in a loving, committed relationship.
Does that make homosexuality OK before God? Does it change what the Bible says about it? No.
It is said that the first 3years of our lives determine what our sexual orientation will be later on in life.
If that is true, then it becomes obvious, why most homosexuals think they were born that way.
The question for me, is not so much whether you were born with it or not, but rather whether it can be changed or not.
We all know that homosexuals can not change themselves and contrary to what all Christians are saying, it's not a choice for most of them!
I believe however, that God can change us, even our sexuality. He is our maker after all and He wouldn't ask us to be something, some of us couldn't possibly be.
I think most homosexuals believe that they have to become straight first, in order for God to accept them. That is not true.
All God is asking you to do, is to give your life to Him, so that He can change you and so you can become the person He created you to be.
That is not an easy decision to make, because it does mean that you have to be willing to let God transform you and it takes commitment as well!
That is true for all of us though, not just for homosexuals!
closed minded bigotry and hate
We as Catholic accept the homosexuals as brothers and sisters, but we also must admonish their action, because it goes against God's teachings and commandments.We love the sinner, but abhor the sin.
The 'loving and committed' relationship part of your question is totally acceptable. However, the sexual act between two men is equally totally unacceptable. I find it disgusting. Absence of sex in any type of relationship is not taboo so why can't homosexual men have the relationship without sex..............
IT NOT THAT WE DON'T VIEW IT AS A LOVING %26amp; COMMITED RELATIONSHIP, IT IS JUST WRONG.
GAYS GO AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT HOLDS THIS WORLD TOGETHER.
NOT RELIGON HERE, BUT LOGIC.
MEN AND WOMEN WERE MENT TO BE TOGETHER, TO PROCREATE AND POPULATE, JUST LIKE AND SPECIES ON THE EARTH.
GAYS CAN NOT NATURALLY HAVE KIDS, THERE FOR IT IS UNNATURAL TO BE GAY.
I ADMIRE THE COMMITMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP, IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO MAKE A HETEROSEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WORK, AND GAYS HAVE IT EVEN HARDER BECAUSWE OF EVERYTHING BEING AGAINST THEM.
IT'S THEIR CHOICE AND THEY WILL SUFFER THE CONCEQUENCES FOR IT.
For those who quote the bible when condeming it go here: http://www.godmademegay.com/Letter.htm
dont feel bad they think people in the bd/sm lifestyle are all devil worshippers...when i was in fact raised catholic..my hubby was raised baptist..we are what we are..guess what i love my Master and he loves his sub...that which binds us sets us free..enjoy bible beaters!!
you KNOW that it's not right that a man lies with a man. you KNOW it.
Its easier to see flaws, or perhaps percieved flaws, in others rather than concentrating on our own issues.
When Jesus said that he who is without sin may cast the first stone, I think that he was speaking to this phenomena.
I believe that any kind of love is good love and if we concentrate on improving ourselves instead of trying to point the finger at others, the world will be a nicer, happier place.
Because it's true! It IS immoral, it says so in the Bible. And homosexuality is about lust. You can try to talk around it all you want, but you know you will be punished by God - and you know it specifically known in the Bible that it IS immoral. It's unnatural. God didn't intend to have us going to the same sex sexually. You know it, and why do homosexuals and lesbians try to force it down our throats to accept it? All of a sudden, if we DON'T accept it, WE are considered weird. What's up with that?
They're ignorant and they need to open their eyes more.
These people don't understand because they've never been in the shoes of homosexuals. They don't realize how hard it is to be the scapegoats of society. Until they become homosexual (which is impossible), educated, or have a homosexual child, then they wouldn't ever understand.
It's like the old saying ';people fear what they don't understand';.
