It is time that Christians started taking a stand against homsexuality and those who try to force it on everyone?

Question

Gays literally want to force everyone to accept homosexuality or face prison for supporting traditional marriage. Isn't it time that Christians stood up to them for once?

Answer 1

The Bible does not condemn homosexuality alone. As a matter of fact Jehovah condemns quite a lot of things that is being done today. Greed and injurious thought, fornication and killing. Jesus said that in the last days we should expect alternative way of living. As Christians we do not need to panic, and we cannot even stop it because it has been prophesied. And with this, we can tell the signs of end of the system of things. The battle is not yours, but Jehovah's battle. no amount of prayers or actions can stop all these signs from taken place because of what is written in Isaiah 55:11. And if you wonder what the Bible tells true Christians about these things that we are experiencing today you can look it up 2 Timothy 3:1-7; also 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. So the Bible does not only condemn homosexual acts but also fornication and over-drinking. The question is, do you do any of these? if you do then read this Matthew 7:3. Jehovah's servants do not single out a particular sin, but we try to keep ALL the laws that have been written down in the Bible.It might be hard but, the Bible has a message for everyone and it is recorded in Philippians 2:12-15. Luke 17:26-27.

Answer 2

It is time that Christians started taking a stand against homsexuality and those who try to force it on everyone?



No, they do NOT want to 'force it on everyone'. You literally have it backwards. If you want to support 'traditional marriage' that's fine. You have that right. But you can't seriously expect to deny these people the same rights and services you give to every other couple, and expect not to be sued.



It's like a business trying to deny service to black people. That business would have the ever loving **** sued out of it by anyone who could think up a good legal case, which isn't hard to do with racism and bigotry.



Nobody is forcing you to be homosexual. We ARE forcing you to treat them the same as you would straight people however. If that goes against your 'deeply moral religious code' than you seriously need to re-examine that code, because it's not moral. It's bigoted. You don't have to like homosexuality, you don't have to enjoy it, you can even make faces of disgust at two dudes kissing in public. You can find it gross, I know I do. I'm just not attracted to guys. I can't even tell which guys are considered attractive with any accuracy. You can do all these things, because this is a free country. When you start 'taking a stand' against giving these people the same rights and opportunities YOU have, you're breaking the law, and going against the principles your country stands for. If you don't like these principles, I suggest moving to Iran. They love bashing homosexuals over there. Christians would fit right in.

Answer 3

Good luck with that. The trendline for Christianity is downwards, and the trendline for LBGT rights is upwards. Christian affiliation dropped from 86% in 1990 to 76% in 2008. The Bible, and Koran, find homosexuality abhorrent but biblical values are not persuasive anymore and the law is. The 0bama administration has advantaged the LBGT agenda in every way possible. Gay soldiers get married and live in government housing and get taxpayer funded medical treatment for their AIDS on Fort Bragg right now, today. There are at least two homosexual Special Forces A Team leaders in 3rd Group right now. Meanwhile, new recruits get LGBT training and chaplains who oppose LGBT get fired.



Secular progressives own the development of values in America. They own academia and media, so all day long your kids go to public education leftist indoctrination and get brainwashed, then they come home and watch TV or Youtube and get more brainwashed. It is not accidental or inadvertent, but intentional and designed per Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals tactics. The Left demonizes then marginalizes opposition. Once upon a time, homosexuality was popularly perceived as a depraved perversion. Then came designed shows like Modern Family which positively depict gay couples as quirky but clean and funny and attentive parents while the Left demonizes opposition. If you oppose gays, you are bigoted and a homophobe, and the opinions of bigots should be ignored. See how that works? Now homosexuality is widely accepted and Christian heterosexuals are villains, even Hillary’s “basket of deplorables”.



What did you think 0bama meant when he talked about fundamentally transforming America society?



Christians have waning venues for persuasion and little message coordination. If they want to reverse these trend lines they need an amazing strategic communications campaign. Why is homosexuality a depraved and perverse choice, not genetic predisposition, what are its negative consequences, and why should it be avoided, and then apply your resources within the most effective communication venues.

Answer 4

No. That is a waste of time as well as physical, mental and emotional energy. True Christians need to be following Jesus command and keep focused on the Kingdom. That kingdom is God's and he has promised that it will come. Psalm 2: 1-12. It will come into being under the rule of his Son, Christ Jesus and it will bring an end to all other kingdoms and governments and all those human laws that are in opposition to God's law.

Daniel 2:44.



The Kingdom is the only answer to mankind's problems of any type or dimension. The truth of the matter is that whether one wants to believe it or reject it, there is One God and he has the right to rule over His creation. His law stands above human law and will dominate.



So, the issue is not about taking a stand for or against a social issue. The issue is whether or not one will take their stand for the Sovereign of the Universe, Jehovah God and remain obedient and loyal to his command under the direction of Jesus Christ. This is an individual choice and it means our Life.

Answer 5

Let's see. The bible does indeed say that homosexuality is a sin. The bible also says that many, many other things are sins. Lying, stealing, adultery, etc. A sin is an action we know to be wrong, which distances us from God. Now, why is the focus on sexual sins of ANY variety considered so much worse than non-sexual sins? I can't believe God will make that distinction. Now, in Acts, Paul, after his conversion, eventually says (grossly paraphrased) "I know that I'm sinning; I want to stop, but I keep on sinning." The bible tells us we are to fight the sin in our lives. Perhaps you should tend to your own sins, before attacking others for theirs, based on your own misguided biases. Further, a Christian should realize that, while the goal is to witness to the non-believers, there is no official church stance in the US (separation of church and state, you know), and, under the law of the land (which Jesus said is separate from the church (give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's)) a homosexual person has the same rights as a heterosexual one. It's not trying to force anything on anyone when you're just trying to use the rights afforded to you by your country.

Answer 6

It is time that Christians started taking a stand against homsexuality and those who try to force it on everyone?



- Fundies are the only psychopaths who want it forced onto them.



- And a 70 year old youtube is the absolute in evidence.

Answer 7

This is a tricky one, only because Christians already have a bad rep. for "judging", also people tend to turn away from faith because people get the feeling that Christians believe they are better than everyone else, which isn't true. So when being asked to except, or being hated for personally not excepting or agreeing with homosexuality, the way I look at it is it doesn't matter what mine nor anyone else's opinion is about it because in the eyes of the Lord who the hell am I to give an opinion because at the end of the day, we're all sinners anyways! It's up to God, not us to decide.

Answer 8

No you got hat wrong, we as a people do not judge, our desire is to live a life that is approved by God! 1 Corinthians 6:11 says “that is what some of you were” it’s talking about what is written at the two proceeding verses, 9&10. In verse 9 it says the word Effeminate (malakos) Its meaning) soft, soft to the touch, metaph. in a bad sense effeminate, of a boy kept for homosexual relations with a man. of a male who submits his body to unnatural lewdness or that of a male prostitute. The American Standard renders the 9th verses; Or know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, The last part of this verse “nor abusers of themselves with men” (är-se-no-koi'-tās) its meaning is; one who lies with a male as with a female, sodomite, homosexual Why Bible translators hide this from its readers one can only guess, my guess is that the first time the Bible cannon( a complete Bible translation-the King James 1611) was translated is was overseen by the Roman Catholic clergy, not because the Catholic clergy wanted all to be able to have a copy of the Bible, it was forced upon them by the King! The Catholic clergy had previously burned John Witcliff and William Tyndale for trying to make the Bible available to the common man that worked in the field plowing! With all the news we have had about the pedophiles among the Catholic clergy one could reason that’s why they tried to cover it up even back then! What is our role when it comes those that ignore what the scriptures say, we are not like the Islam’s that believe they are doing God’s(Allah’s) will by killing Christians who they view just as Christians view homosexuals, look at what (1 Corinthians 5:9-11) 9 In my letter I wrote you to stop keeping company with sexually immoral people, 10 not meaning entirely with the sexually immoral people of this world or the greedy people or extortioners or idolaters. Otherwise, you would actually have to get out of the world. 11 But now I am writing you to stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. . . All Christians should read (Romans 2:1, 2) Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are, if you judge; for when you judge another, you condemn yourself, because you who judge practice the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment is in harmony with truth, against those who practice such things

When we judge we condemn ourselves in God’s eyes, stop worrying about what others are doing, we all stand and fall before our King and Judge Jesus Christ and his Heavenly Father Jehovah!.

Answer 9

Honestly, questions and even the answers to these are part of the reason why Christianity is dying in America. I'm a Roman Catholic myself but I have an atheist sister and she's a pretty awesome person, a lot better than stupid anonymous trolls like yourself and the ones answering this question.



It's truly ridiculous that you think that, in not being allowed to impose Biblical rule through the government to ban people civil human rights, Christians are being persecuted. I'm a Christian myself and it is downright INSULTING to suggest that we are being persecuted when there are cases that exist in the Middle East of it being so. America is not and has never been a Christian nation to impose its rule on people and, for all the talk of "small government" coming from "Christian" politicians, there sure is a hell of a lot of large government involved in how people live their lives in this country. You need to get over yourself and stop being an embarrassment to our brothers and sisters in Christ in the Middle East.

Answer 10

Gayness is wrong! How do you know what is right or wrong? YOU LEARN FROM GOD!



Your society could've been wrong like nazi germany when they killed 6 million jews. Their society said it was okay to kill inferiors. If they took over the entire world then the whole world would have been taught their evil teachings and everyone will think the evil teachings are right.



Getting morals from society and culture is called relativism. Relativism is a bad thing because your society could be wrong.



An example of different cultures is polygamy which is the acceptance that men can be married to multiple women or vice versa. Countries accept polygamy and they wouldn't get mad if a man is having sex/having a relationship with another woman and more because their society says its okay. Now compare this to America where people get mad they get cheated on.



now apply this concept to being gay. Lesson learned is Get your morals from God.

Answer 11

Many Repub's act like christians, but then they do NOT practice it themselves but yet they FORCE those belieffs upon others. And guess who might just be the most annoyed by that kind of hypocracy and over-reach: Yup you guess it> GOD!! Let the fags do what they want! But dont force a preacherman to marry them and to have to lie and say "God put them together"! Let some one else marry them. Like a devil worshipper or someone. Only way to get right with God is to do so by your own free will and your true inner determination, anything brought about by force has NO meaning at all. Fags have a right to exist and live their lives. But so do christians. But ONCE, either side tries using force opon the other, it is time to be fed to the crockadiles. LET EACH OTHER EXIST AND LIVE. Or you ALL go to hell. With love, Phil

Answer 12

Yes, it is time to stand up and say that we don't have to condone homosexuality. We have to stand for the Lord, and never compromise no matter what Satan throws at us.

It is obvious to know that besides getting accepted by society, the homosexuality agenda also involves eliminating all opposition to it.

You have examples like the Christian bakery getting shut down after they got fined for refusing to make a cake for a gay couple (In all honesty, it should be common sense that Christian bakeries would probably refuse baking a cake for a gay couple. Why not go to a non-christian bakery?).

Also getting labeled a bigot, a homophobe, and all that. You don't see Christians labeling anti-christians as "Cristophobes" do you?



Now, let me clarify this, when I say take a stand, I in no way am saying that we have to strike back at them. We should not persecute them the same way they would persecute us. We should just never compromise our beliefs. We should fear God, and not man.

Another thing, when Jesus talked about judging, he was not saying that it is wrong. What he was saying is wrong is that if one speaks out against sin (judgeing) but harbors that same sin in his own heart (hypocrisy). Sin is sin. It should be spoken out against, but not in a hypocritical manner.

Answer 13

The only stand a Christian would take is although not condoning homosexuality is teach what the Bible teach is they choose to listen. People has their right to do as they please but they have to suffer the consequences for their actionssS1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9 Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom?+ Do not be misled.* Those who are sexually immoral,*+ idolaters,+ adulterers,+ men who submit to homosexual acts,+ men who practice homosexuality,*+ 10 thieves, greedy people,+ drunkards,+ revilers,* and extortioners will not inherit God’s Kingdom.+ 11 And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean;+ you have been sanctified;+ you have been declared righteous+ in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God.s

Answer 14

No one is forcing you to marry a person of the same gender or attend a pride parade. Not being allowed to use your faith to justify hate and inequality isn't forcing anything on you.

Christians have been allowed to play by their own rules for so long, they think it's their right to dictate how everyone else lives.

Answer 15

That would be difficult to do considering that most people profess to be Christians in the church as well as other religion openly practice homosexuality adultery sexual immorality greediness and other things mentioned in the Bible



The Bible says that the man who practices righteousness is acceptable to God what does that mean?



It means that we must live by God's standards when it comes to All Things practice what is right in our daily life anyway I can have God's approval however God does not condemn or hate people including homosexuals as well as any other person



But it is clear that he hates the practicing of any type of cell and that his righteousness will have to take care or remove all persons who do not chose

to live by the Bible standards



I hope this helps

Answer 16

Well, God is the judge of all men. We know the Bible says at 1 Corinthians 6:9 says...homosexuals will not inherit God's Kingdom along with other things of the flesh people practice that goes against God.



With that being said we still love people but we condemn those acts that God hates. We don't associate with individuals that practice those sins.

Answer 17

"We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers." Besides, it's too late. 2017 is the start of the Great Tribulation spoken of in Daniel 9. Jesus returns in 2024 (read Psalms 125). "When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord raises up a standard against him." (Isaiah 59: 19). God has determined it is time to take mankind to the woodshed for a good spanking. We Christians will be in Heaven celebrating a wedding.

Answer 18

Yes, it is reasonable. Homosexualists are bigots, defined as "a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.



Let's break that down.



1. Obstinately devoted to prejudice, i.e., to irrational views about other people, not based on evidence and opposed to fact. For example, a claim that all Muslims are terrorists is bigoted, but the claim that nearly all terrorists are Muslims is fact.



2. Intolerant, i.e., not willing to extend the same freedoms to others that one expects for himself. That's more or less the opposite of the Golden Rule.



An obstinate devotion to irrationality is the hallmark of modern liberalism. The baby growing in his mother is not a living human individual. A homosexual commitment is a marriage. A man can become a woman, or vice versa, by changing his mind. These are the opinions of the insane asylum, gone mainstream.



Intolerance, too, is central to liberalism. Liberals demand that Christians pay for prenatal homicide. They have financially ruined wedding businesses that refuse to participate in homosexual commitments. Now they are forcing girls to accept boys in their showers and changing areas.



These are acts of bigotry, pure and simple.

Answer 19

Homosexuals, Bisexuals,and Transgender people don't want to force their feelings on someone. "Christianity taking a stand against homosexuality" I myself am offended by this just because people are different doesn't mean Christians have to go all Hitler Protestant on them. That's like saying gay people are child molesters or demons and that isn't true.

Answer 20

Homosexually as always been practised, making it illegal is not going to put a stop to it, the prevailing thought of many is what consenting Adults do behind closed doors is up to them, but personally I think it's where it should stay, try ramming it down everyones throat that its normal is wrong, because it isn't,

Answer 21

Why single out homosexuality? It is a sin just like any other sin. Why should Christians be against anything. Shouldn't they just be taking a stand in favor of righteous living?

Answer 22

As one Christian to another you yourself cannot take a stand against homosexuality. It is an abomination unto the eyes of God yes, but we are all given free will. We are asked to love the sinner just as Jesus did, we are to hate sin. If it is not your sin who are you to condemn instead pray for them and let God do the changing or opening of eyes. In the end God has the final say one sin is no different than the other. Except denying the father.

Answer 23

Because you say so REALLY ? they say the same thing about the bible also .. If you switched the "IT" and the "IS" as in IS IT Time it would be a QUESTION with the "IT" " IS" makes it a STATEMENT .. giving you a heads up putting a question mark at the end of a statement does not make it a question . you could add do you agree .?.



final answer NO You do Know there are Christian denominations called the LBGT -Christian affirmation churches International I knew churches would come around they want to keep those adherents and 50 other like churches

Answer 24

The Catholic church is one of the finest proponents of homosexuality on planet earth, it has always had a problem with homosexuality from root to branch and by linking sex outside of married status as evil and stupid it has made free sex, more, not less tempting. Before Christians make a stand they ought to look at deep down at their own sins sexual and otherwise before condeming others. Homosexuality is an act of nature, always will be as long as there is life on our earth. As for Christians making a stand against those who force forbidden lust against everyone; forget it, it is rare for gay people to force themselves on straight people. Far more common is hetrosexuals forcing sex on others.

Answer 25

It really is quite sad that you are incapable of presenting the truth and asking a rational question. A person's sexuality is innate, it is not chosen; therefore, gay people do not try to force homosexuality on anybody. You cannot force a person to have a particular sexuality. That kind of psychological abuse is popular with Christians but not rational people.



What we gay people seek is what all humans are fully entitled to: human rights. Christians, of course, do not believe in human rights. They only support the rights of the particular sect of Christianity to which they belong.



Putting the adjective 'traditional' in front of marriage fools nobody but you. Marriage is a human right. All humans, including those who are gay, have the right to marry. Your attempt to abuse human rights will fail and is, in fact, failing.



Thankfully, that appalling video is out of date and spurious. In order for boys to avoid being sexually abused by an adult male their best chance is to stay away from all religions. Clergy, community elders, members of religious orders, ministers of religion, priests, teachers in faith schools and other authority figures in all religions have serially abused children.

Answer 26

and of course the same can be said about heterosexuals right? I mean what have they done for the earth lately? Invented better ways to die, brought ungrateful children into the world, made life a living hell for anyone different from them, used God as a hate tool, oh I could go on. You need to get a grip and realise that your God made us all. He made me gay. And as for forcing it on everyone, I have yet to find one gay person forcing anything on anyone as far as sexuality goes. Now lets talk about Christians, and how they try and force whatever they believe that day on everyone. Go crawl back where you came from you bigoted, stupid, blind poor excuse for a human being.

Answer 27

I am not forced to do anything. I do not have to have a gay girlfriend and get married or order her a cake and flowers. I can do all that for the one I love- but not everyone gets to do that.

Next people will be allowing people to disagree without killing the enemy. It has to STOP!

Only people I like can be free to live out their lives alongside me and my kids. Anyone who likes Republicans, or who drives a big ol' pickup, or has a gun or compound bow, or likes football? OUT they go!

No gay person I have ever met thinks hetero marriage is a sin or should be illegal. They think it is unfair that they can't marry a person they love, also.

How does it hurt you for someone YOU DON"T KNOW to get married? 11th Commandment: Mind your own stinkin' business!

Christians also are guilty of wanting everyone to accept what they believe - see prayer in school - not Buddhist prayer.

See great schools but only in the NICE areas.

See equality - as long as they don't scare me.

See freedom of speech - unless they say something I think is icky or obnoxious.

It is long past time for homos to have equal right with all of us. It is long past time for women to rule in government and higher management. It is time for a woman to be a fantastic president.

It is time to allow people freedom FROM religion , too, without being suspected of crimes or assumed to be immoral. All you Chris-pies can hang out together and me and my atheist buddies will leave you alone..

Answer 28

No....but it is time for Christians to work on their own hearts so they can actually hear what God is telling them. If your motive for change is anything but love, you will only make things worse. Know God and who you are in Christ before embarking on a mission of hate disguised as righteousness. If you block someone simple because you don't agree, you're being nothing like Jesus. Open your eyes. His "kindness" leads us to repentance.

Answer 29

Fear and lack of knowledge on the subject added to a proclivity to preach hatred for homosexuality is not something I recognize in the good and devout Christians that I know. The other type I don't care to know, but then again, I think that they are part of a minority, who even if they stood up to fight on this stupid cause would be laughed at for their ignorance.

Answer 30

I am not with homosexuality at all but I do not disrespect or cut ties with someone just because they are homosexual .

on the other hand forcing people to accept something they are not convinced with, is stupid and insensitive.



I think each one of us has a mind to think ,each has his/her own believes , and that there is no need to force anything on anyone.



For me homosexuality is a sin , but I am in no position to condemn anyone who is, after all , their biggest sin might be being homosexual ,while many who are not homosexual commits sins that are much more horrible than this one

Answer 31

You have to be careful of that, because the whole concept of the gospel is of reconciling man to God and even if Christians disagree with homosexuality, homosexuals need a route to redemption, we must leave that path open, at the same time the concept of "sexual orientation" NOT A DEFINITIVELY PROVEN concept even thou the LGBT try to make it that way has deceived homosexuals that they are living a life they were intended to live without Jesus Christ. Thus their homosexuality has replaced Jesus Christ and their sexuality is their salvation. IF we attack their homosexuality were closing their path to the true love at that is Jesus Christ. It's a tough one for Christians who believe the lifestyle is against the will of God. We live in a decadent society, but our goal to the best of our ability is to restore and reconcile a lost generation to Jesus Christ, that should be our focus.

Answer 32

I don't think we need to make a "stand" against them. I don't personally agree with homosexuality I think it's a mental illness, a sexual perversion and I'm entitled to have that opinion. I'm not entitled to be abusive or voice that opinion publicly as it may cause offence, and I'm ok with that. It's no different to me thinking in my head "look at that great big fat pig walking down the street, they really should eat less" I'm entitled to have that opinion but I'm not entitled to shout it out loud, as it's rude and would likely cause hurt and offence. We live in a civilised society if everyone walked down the street mouthing off at everything they disagree with there would be chaos. You have your beliefs, I have mine, I respect your right to be free, you respect mine...it's called civilisation. We do not need to have the same beliefs to be civilised to each other!

Answer 33

The best thing for christains to do is stand firm on their beliefs. We don't need to go on the offense, but we do need to stand and say we will not go there. It goes against our beliefs. We can speak truth in love and show them there is a better way. . Beyond that we will only make matters worse.

Answer 34

I believe the law should be upheld for the small business owners that they have the right to refuse business to anyone. Sole proprietors are not like big corporations that are publicly owned by stock holders. The Christian baker being sued by homosexuals because she refused to baker their cake. These homosexuals knew she was a Christian and they could sue her and put her out of business, whether they won the case or not.



In my younger days, I was a faithful juror and picked many times on both criminal and civil cases. What our secular progressive government and atheist liberals are pushing into law will cause more legal cases than our courts can handle and they will find it hard to find jurors. I am a Christian and in these latter days lawlessness will abound and justice will fall in the streets. We have Supreme Court Justices making laws from the bench instead of withholding the Constitution of the United States. This holds true for homosexual judges pushing the agenda for same sex marriage knowing that Christian County Clerks must resign before issuing marriage licenses to homosexuals. God forbid. Christians are being legally pushed out of the courts and it has been Christians who were willing and able jurors. The Bible does say "shattering the power of the holy people." This is what the "god of this world is doing" and the god of this world is Satan, wickedness in high places.



Have you ever asked your congregation at church how many Christians have witnessed for Christ to their neighbors and on the job? Or do they never mention the name of Jesus Christ or the Lord God to anyone?



I will tell you how I know a born again Christian, they cannot help but speak the name of Jesus in casual conversation to anyone. Christ Jesus is Lord of their life and everyone who knows them knows that He is.

I have seen so-called Christians embarassed to speak out concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. They won't speak out against false doctrine and Islam/Koran is false doctrine as well as Mormons and JWs. Does not anyone remember that Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep my commandments." Jesus didn't say, "If you love Me, keep all your sexual immorality such as homosexuality, fornication, adultery, pornograhy, bigamy and divorce. We are to be holy because He is Holy.



When they take a stand against homosexuality, also mention fornication, adultery, pornography, etc. Scripture says that "the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who believe not." The god of this world is Satan and if homosexuals believe the Lord approves their marriage, then their minds are blinded with false doctrine and by the god of this world who is the father of false doctrine and lies.



Yes, all Christians should have been standing on the Word of God a long time ago and maybe our nation would not be where it is today. Evolution and Abortion are the products of Satan and these have caused a lot of falling away from the Word of God, the Holy Bible.



We are in spiritual warfare with "wickedness in high places."

Answer 35

I'm gay, and no, I do not want to force you to accept it. I would, of course, love if you did, but if you don't agree with it, that's okay too. And no, I don't want to send you to prison because you support heterosexuality. All I really want is for you to just accept, that I am as human as you are, and deserve the same rights. You can call me names and discriminate me, but wouldn't that be sinning? Nobody's perfect, you may sin for being rude to other humans, I may sin for being gay. In the end God loves us and forgives our sins because we're his children. Yes, I am a gay Christian, living happily because I know God loves me no matter what.

Answer 36

Yes. I am fortunate enough to have had pastors who have preached the truth and were not afraid to say it is sinful. We certainly need to reach out to these people and let them know the love of Christ but when they invade our churches, then that is taking it a step too far. Some have become so perverse that they try to attack people who don't agree with them. Yes! Reach out to the lost. Yes.... do not allow them to spread their filth in our churches as well.

Answer 37

This is bullshit. Gays do not try to force homosexuality on anyone! Christians should not take a stand against it just because their supposed God is a homophobe!

Answer 38

In a pluralistic society the issue is keeping a distinction between tolerating other s freedoms and being forced to endorse their lifestyle.



I think American society has turned a corner and is now forcing Christians to endorse the homosexual lifestyle, which conflicts with the Christian s freedom to practice their religious beliefs.



That s the way I see it.

Answer 39

The Pope when asked about Homosexuality replied, using the same words that Jesus did - "Who am I to judge?"



No one is forcing 'Homosexualiy' on anyone.



Me thinks you are a closet queen - a male pretending to be Heterosexual but who harbors secret desires and lusts.



Real men do not bother about Homosexuality since they do not see it as any kind of threat.

Answer 40

Seriously don't you think God has better things to do than be worried about the sex life of others and is it really that important if some out of loneliness choose to be gay and if we need to repopulate then it is not a good idea and perhaps we need different rules for different reasons

Answer 41

I just don't understand gay people. As a straight Christian man, I strongly believe that no gay man shall go to heaven or live the afterlife in peace. If you want to be gay get out of Christianity because it's not for you.

Answer 42

Then you must also make a stand against divorce and remarriage. It is mentioned negatively more often than homosexuality in the bible. I think both are wrong- but don't HATE on people to cover up your own sin!

Answer 43

Homosexuality is an arrested state of development.

It is not something that can be encouraged or promoted.

What is encouraged is respect for the human being.

Christian marriage is for the protection of families.

It was instituted by the church to defend widows & orphans.

Civil unions are a legal response for protection of individuals.

Answer 44

Did Jesus make a stand against the centurion sent to arrest him? No



Did Peter and John make a stand against the Romans who were in charge of killing hundreds of thousands of early christians? No, apostle Paul even came from that side, he was the one commanding the killings of christians before he changed.



Who in the christian forefathers, and in the christian doctrine is saying its ok to strike back against the injustices in the world? Not a single one.





Jesus constantly told people to bless those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and say all things against you for the sake of Jesus' name.

and that "vengeance is mine saith the Lord, i will recompense".



I will willingly be imprisoned if it means to stand up for Jesus. Just like the early church apostles.

Homophobic is a GOOD thing. dont believe what the media tells you.

Being a homophobic bigot is right and pure and holy. if you are in the correct spirit. and act accordingly.

Answer 45

God’s view of homosexuality cannot be watered down. At 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10, the Bible clearly states that “men who lie with men” are included in those who “will not inherit God’s kingdom.” But verse 11 adds the comforting thought: “And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean, but you have been sanctified, but you have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God.”

Clearly, those who sincerely desired to worship God on his terms were warmly welcomed into the early Christian congregation. The same is true today for all honesthearted ones who seek God’s approval—not by reinterpreting the Bible—but by bringing their lives into harmony with it.

Answer 46

Oh Dear, Don't worry about it, no one is forcing anything on anyone.

How about a more Christian attitude, "let him without sin, cast the first stone".

Or do Christian's no longer accept what Christ taught?

Answer 47

No, but it is time we all took a stand against religion and their promoters who have been forcing it on everybody since their 'gods' were invented.

Answer 48

You're right we should force them all to accept Christianity, rather than the law, which is seperated from Christianity for a reason.

Answer 49

To enforce the law, a bias/prejudice verdict emerges, by those people who profess according to their religion. Get over this, Christians, you're too political to grant mercy. Let's put the horse before the cart.

Answer 50

Stand on the Constitution's guaranteed protection for freedom of religious faith and expression. Rights of free speech and free press are also at issue. But this is to protect the rights of everyone, such that neither "side" in such socially dividing issues as religious rights versus gay rights can be brought into subjection to the other side's views and demands. There has to be a point where rights are rights, and publicly accepted as such. Right now we are in a sorting out period.



Thomas Jefferson’s famous quote is being misunderstood today to the point false “political correctness” leans toward the exclusion of religious principle from being voiced in creating laws, determining government policy, etc., but such rights belong equally to the religious and irreligious, no matter the issue. In his letter to the Danbury Baptists, Jefferson was reassuring them of their right to practice their religion as they saw fit:



“Believing that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their Legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church and State".



Thomas Jefferson’s quote on separation of church and state did not mean the religious have to give up their rights to full participation as citizens in the workings of government; he emphasized the separation to be for the safety of the Church from government interference. That is the point needing to be defended in the ongoing challenges, of any nature, in our society. Constitutional rights are to be recognized and protected for everyone, not only those whom the changing social and political winds alternately favor. These rights should extend to individuals of conscience, not just to organized bodies, religious or otherwise.

Answer 51

You claim that "Gays literally want to force everyone to accept homosexuality or face prison for supporting traditional marriage." No they don't. Where did you get a kooky idea like that?

Answer 52

This is actually becoming a serious problem for real. I just heard in the news yesterday that a man was fined 1000s of dollars for not approving two lesbians to marry in his own barn. Since when do you have to be fined for not allowing something on your own property? This country is so stupid and evil to the core. Homosexuals are becoming the most annoying people. Its insane, its very sad to hear something like this. I feel like punching these brain dead idiots anytime they force their crap on people.

Answer 53

Genesis 1:27

27 And God went on to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.(Galatians 5:22,23)



Mark 10:6

6 However, from the beginning of creation, ‘He made them male and female.



1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9 Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom?+ Do not be misled.* Those who are sexually immoral,*+ idolaters,+ adulterers,+ men who submit to homosexual acts,+ men who practice homosexuality,*+ 10 thieves, greedy people,+ drunkards,+ revilers,* and extortioners will not inherit God’s Kingdom.+ 11 And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean;+ you have been sanctified;+ you have been declared righteous+ in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God.



The Bible does not comment on the biology of homosexuality, although it acknowledges that some human traits are deeply ingrained. Still, the Bible says that certain conduct—including homosexual acts—must be shunned if we are to please God.—2 Corinthians 10:4, 5.



Some would say that the Bible’s position is cruel. But their claim is based on the premise that we must act on our impulses or that sexual impulses in particular are so important that they should not—even cannot—be controlled. However, the Bible dignifies humans by stating that they can resist their urges. Unlike animals, they can choose not to act on their impulses.—Colossians 3:5. [5]



Consider a comparison: Some experts say that certain behavioral traits, such as aggression, may have a biological cause. The Bible does not specifically comment on the biology of aggression, but it does acknowledge that some people are “prone to anger” and “disposed to rage.” (Proverbs 22:24; 29:22) Yet, the Bible also says: “Let go of anger and abandon rage.”—Psalm 37:8; Ephesians 4:31.



Few people would disagree with that advice or say that it is cruel to those who have aggressive tendencies. In fact, even those experts who believe that anger is rooted in a person’s genetic makeup work hard to help people control such tendencies.



Jehovah’s Witnesses take a similar position toward any conduct that conflicts with Bible standards, including sexual acts between two people of the opposite sex who are not married to each other. In all such cases, the Bible counsel applies: “Each one of you should know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not with greedy, uncontrolled sexual passion.”—1 Thessalonians 4:4,



While Jehovah’s Witnesses uphold the moral code set forth in the Bible, they do not force their views on others. Nor do they try to reverse laws that protect the human rights of those whose lifestyle differs from theirs. The message that Jehovah’s Witnesses bear is a positive one, and they eagerly share it with all who will listen.—Acts 20:20.

I am a Christian but don't understand hate Christians, we all sin and shouldn't attack others on sin but instead deal with ourselves and love people no matter what, Jesus loved people but attacked the Pharisees who acted like the hate Christians of today.

Answer 55

When I was a young man, America was a great place to live.

People honored God.

Every child called every adult "sir" or "ma'am".

Pastors weren't forced to do gay marriages.

Cake bakers could refuse service to blacks and Jews.

This country has gone to hell in a bucket.

Answer 56

By "forcing" you mean granting equal rights to everyone is a threat to faith heads. If there's any forcing going on, it's bible thumping delusionals trying to legislate their beliefs onto everyone else.

Answer 57

No one's trying to force it on anyone, dear. If you don't want to have sex with a member of your own sex, you don't have to. You also don't have to marry a member of your own sex. The relationships and marriages of gay people have absolutely no effect on you. They don't harm you in any way.

Homophobes

Answer 60

You're already doing a great job of convincing people that the Good News of Jesus was "Gays can't get married". Is that really the saving message? He died a tortured criminal's death on a cross for this petty feud of yours?

Answer 61

Is it time for Christians to stand up to them?

You people have stood up to them for centuries - beating them and killing them. They are finally standing up for themselves and you despise that because Christians want power and authority. You have been used to being a first class citizen that now the people you saw in contempt are finally on the same platform as you. You don't respect them you respect congenial people. They don't want your support; they don't want your acceptance. They want respect.

Answer 62

Matthew 7:3-5. "...remove rafter from your own eye" then you can execute judgment. I'm a Christian and the Bible says God is judge. Hebrews 13:4 "...God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers." As for the innocent people that have to live with the immoral acts we don't have to accept them. We learn from the Bible that Satan is behind badness and unrighteousness (2 Corinthians 4:4). James 4:7 "...subject yourselves to God, but oppose the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you...". We don't have to change our lives but object the influence of evil.

Answer 63

Nobody is trying to make you gay...or black...or Hindu. Can't stand this persecution complex some christians seem to have.

Answer 64

As a Christian I have enough enemies as it is. I don't need the gay community as an enemy too. In other words, I have had enough of trying to tell other people how to be. It is easier to just let them be as they are. Let God deal with it.

Answer 65

Answer 68

Yes.



If you assist in a murder, you are an accessory to the crime.



So why do the LGBTs get to force someone to be an accessory to something that person views as a sin?



Should a hog farmer be allowed to force Jews to buy hog products?

Answer 69

What about taking a stand about promiscuity? Adultery? Blasphemy ? And a myriad of other things that occur in our society. The bible tells us that adulterers, blasphemers etc will have their place in the Lake of Fire, why just limit it to the homosexuals.

Answer 70

It's time that Christians started minding their own business. Better yet if they grow brains. Then they'll stop being Christians.

Answer 71

IF you are going to make a stand against, would mean you are not a true Christian at all, a true Christian is about peace, not judgment.

Answer 72

What your cult defines to be "traditional marriage" isn't traditional.



Marriage, just like Christmas, Easter, etc- is originally Pagan and there was no restriction on gender.

Answer 73

interestingly enough is the idea that the homosexual is the child of the heterosexual. when a consistent 10% of the population is gay, then the straight people are the carriers of the gay-genes. the more children one has, the more likely that one of them is gay.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/04/160412132621.htm



all that you have to do to deny scientific validity, is to deny science. once your understanding becomes narrow enough, then almost anything you wish to think will appear to be true within your own definitions.

however, the problem is that many people do not even suppose to be confined to denying reality to accept your beliefs as true.

Answer 74

Yes. Actually it is past time. Things are going too far and getting out of control.



A message for Christians: Take a stand for righteousness. The world may hate you for it. People will get angry because they don't want to hear the truth. You will face persecution. Don't fear man who can kill the body. But fear God who can destroy both body and soul in Hell.



The only people who are going to Heaven are those who do the will of God. Friendship with the world is enmity toward God. Also, what is highly esteemed by man is an abomination in the sight of God. It is better to please God than it is to please man.



You can't please everybody. No matter what you do or what you say, there is always going to be someone who is not going to like it.

Answer 75

You don't have the right to judge anyone and Christians have taken a stand as is their right...where have you been? Let other live in peace.

Answer 76

LGBT people only want people to accept them. They don't force this upon anyone, or want people to go to prison for "traditional marriage" This is 2016 not 1920.

Answer 77

That's absolute nonsense! Gays are fine with heterosexual marriage. Many gays have heterosexual, married parents, siblings, aunts, uncles friends, colleagues and so on. Many Christian churches are faced with extremely low attendance, so of course they will welcome gays.



What a silly video! When hitchhiking, girls sometimes get raped by men. The movie is about pedophiles, not about gays.

Answer 78

If you feel threatened by homosexuality you should see a sex therapist about your own sexuality. Having your mind besieged by thoughts about other people's sexuality is not healthy.

It's true. It's not enough that we tolerate their disgusting behavior choices. They DEMAND that we APPROVE of it. Not only that, but we have CHEER for it. We have to CELEBRATE it like it's the most beautiful thing in the world.

Answer 84

As a Christian you are denying Jesus Christ for whom you are called. When you believe that homosexuality is a sin and you off that person from connection to believers, Jesus says to love the sinner but not the sin! Are you following Jesus or Judaism?

Answer 85

God had created us all free! So do NOT try to take it away from anyone.
