Can't we all agree that God doesn't hate gays?

Question

Seriously, come on. It's not their damn choice on what gender they're attracted to. If God really hated them, they wouldn't even exist. :|

Answer 1

Can we all agree that gods doesn't hate gays ?



Well if we all agreed that gods were mans invention it would not be an issue if god hated gays or not



.. the other issue IF the god exited where in the bible did the supposed god do to any described ACTION toward any character in the bible that exhibited being a homosexual ?



Sodom story never describes any homosexuals or any acts of homosexuals One does know the definition of Sodomy ( defined as Anal or ORAL copulation that is not limited to homo or heterosexuals ) the bible just states fornication ( sexual relations between people not married to one another ) and is directly referencing marriage and the act of sex be restricted to those who are married . One could conclude that since gays do marry they are not committing fornication



All the actions against any character which i am unsure if any are actually described would be the actions of Humans to stone them possibly and some bible writer or rabbinical leader proclaiming that is the appropriate action supposedly directed by the deity



.it is .mentioned in the 613 supposed commandments of the god Yahweh listed in the Mitzvot a summary of dictates describe d throughout the Old testament it actually does not say what the punishment is NOR does it say to HATE them only that a deity supposedly forbids a man lying with a man or Beast possibly related to some events witness related to animal husbandry



The question is if one had not been told or read about the god would one be asking this question ? . Would one independently discover a god with out others projecting it or no script as its source ..Is a god self evident ? Perhaps if man agreed that gods were conceptional it would end a lot of problems or issues



thank you for the question

Answer 2

Well Im not sure some people agree, especially ones that don't know God. If you know God, you would also know that He loves everyone no matter the circumstances they went through and the choices they make in life. As we know from the Bible, God hates the sin but loves the sinner. Read Romans chapter 1 and you'll see what it has to say about this topic. I do not agree with gay marriage, but that doesnt mean i don't like people because they agree on something that differs from what I agree. I actually have a friend that is one and I don't dislike him for that. Jesus taught us in the Scriptures to love everyone. Love is the key. God is Love.

Answer 3

Much things exist that God hates. But to be fair, He hates the sin, not the sinner. Homosexuality is listed by Him as an abomination (Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 and Romans 1:18-32) -- and He doesn't say that about much. No, they can't help who they're attracted to, but they do make a conscious decision some point in their lives to listen to the God of the Bible, or to reject what He says about it, and follow their own desires. At that point they are living in sin. And God cannot abide in the presence of sin.

Answer 4

To be a Gay is like an extremist like to choose unnatural way

God don't hate anybody but God destroyed a tribe in which mostly people were gays and God also called them extremists

God doesn't like extremist no matter which they are

Answer 5

God doesn't hate gays but he doesn't agree with it! God love everybody! I'm not trying to start something just trying to answer the question:)

Answer 6

You're right! How dare anyone say God hates someone! Gay people, sin or not are certainly not hated by God, because god doesn't hate anyone! I'm Christian and I support gay rights, it's so sad that so many atheists reject our religion because of this false idea getting spread around. Being gay is fine.

Answer 7

Well, I for one agree with that.



But then again, I'm a theist without a religion or holy book that declares homosexuality to be sinful. As long as millions of theistic believers are interpreting God's nature and will through the lens of holy books and traditions that teach that homosexuality is sinful before God, we won't all agree....

Answer 8

God hates sin and perversion. Adultery, fornication and lust are also things God hates. Sin brings condemnation, repentance brings restoration. The Bible condemns homosexual acts as perverse. We have created an environment where all moral barriers have been taken down. The early 60's culture made a shift and drugs and free love were embraced. Playboy brought in mainstream pornography like a seed that now every child has easy access to free video of XXX and what 50 years ago a kid might find a playboy and see things now the culture knows no restraint. We see poor choices in every sphere think of the vulgar swearing in every movie now when 60 years ago there was none. The direction in all areas is moving toward destructive behavior being accepted. The love of God is one that is beckoning us to turn to God and receive mercy and to turn form our sins. Homosexuality is like any other sin and need be repented of. We do not write the standards but are subject to them.

Answer 9

I don't think God hates anyone. But he does hate the sin of homosexuality. God considers it an abomination unto him. God dislikes it so much that unless people turn & repent from this sin, they will not see the kingdom of God. Read 1 Corinthians 6:9 "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 mankind," 6:10 "Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."



I know you think you were born that way & to some extent, you are correct. Everyone is born that way. Everyone is born with a sin nature. We are all given the gift of choice. Just because you want to do something doesn't mean you are helpless to prevent yourself. It's called self control. You can decide not to act on your sinful urges & ask God to change the desires of your heart. I was a lesbian for 35 yrs. Then I abstained from sexual activity & asked God to make a clean spirit in me. He changed the desires of my heart & I no longer wish to live a sinful life that is displeasing to him. I made a choice & everyone else can too.

Answer 10

Well I agree with you. God doesn't hate gay people because he created them. He created everyone. Being gay or not doesn't define who a person. There is more to a person than being gay or non gay. God loves these people because they are also his children. God loves everyone even though all of us make wrong choices in our lives he still loves us because we are his no matter what. God wants us to accept one another instead of being against one another.

Answer 11

Basically correct.



Truth is, based on the observable evidence, this man made god hates all mankind equally and with a passion so gays are included. I don't see, again based on observable evidence, how anyone could claim god hates gays any more than it hates everyone else (deluded believers or not) meaning you are correct but perhaps not in the way intended.

Answer 12

No We Can't Agree That God Doesn't Hate Gays ......: Rom.1:15-32

God turned gays over to reprobate minds & to vile affections as punishment so that they might realize why they choose their lifestyle: Rom.1:25-28 They changed the truth into a lie - God's message in the stars was changed to astrology & worship the creature more than the creator of the creature.

They can turn away from their punishment or they can keep it & turn away from their creator.

Answer 13

God doesn't hate anyone, however He does hate our unrighteous acts. Unrighteous acts meaning acts which He tells us He does not condone. He doesn't hate you but He does hate what you are doing if it is not in accordance to His Laws. And that's is not just homosexuality, it a vast array of unrighteous acts that are not in accordance to His laws. But, that is the beauty of repentence which is asking for forgiveness of our sins and sincerely seeking a change of heart (mind) and to be obedient to His laws.

Answer 14

No, God does hate the wicked.



Psalm 5:5

"The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers."



Psalm 11:5

"The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence."



Leviticus 20:13

"And you shall not walk in the customs of the nation that I am driving out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I detested them."



The quote from Leviticus is significant because it's only ten verses after the death penalty is decreed for all who practice homosexuality. And in regard to your last sentence, God hates murderers and they exist, so I'm not sure where you were trying to go with that one.

Answer 15

I'm all for gay people but technically it is a choice, in the olden days not so many people were gay people just held back, stayed in the closet other wise they would have been shunned- people think it's to test gay people to see if they really follow God or something

Answer 16

The overwhelming majority of Christianity has already come to that conclusion. The issue isn't with the people, it's with the sin. I'm sure I can't be the first one who's pointed that out.

Answer 17

God doesn't exist [done]

And hypothetically the God many believe in has no good reason to hate "gays" either.

Answer 18

The fact of the matter, God hate's all sin so technically Yes, God hate homosexuals because it is a sin against God, and as it is written, Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Also it is written Romans 9:13 As it is written,, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. God only loves he elect or God chosen, the ones who does the will of God and the will of God is to be obedient to God word the bible only, nothing else. The only way God will not hate them is if God make them a child of God and a child of God is when God Jesus Christ saves you NO exceptions, as it is written in God word the bible only No man comes to the father but through the son Jesus Christ, he did all the work before the foundation of the world that is why he is called the lamb slain before the foundation of the world.

Answer 19

God created humans to engage in sex only within the arrangement of marriage between a male and a female. (Genesis 1:27, 28; Leviticus 18:22; Proverbs 5:18, 19) The Bible condemns sexual activity that is not between a husband and wife, whether it is homosexual or heterosexual conduct. (1 Corinthians 6:18) This includes intercourse, fondling another person’s genitals, and engaging in oral or anal sex.



While the Bible disapproves of homosexual acts, it does not condone hatred of homosexuals or homophobia. Instead, Christians are directed to “respect everyone.”—1 Peter 2:17, Good News Translation.

Answer 20

By that logic god doesn't hate serial rapists and murderers.

Answer 21

There were people who opposed the abolition of slavery, emancipation for women, the banning of discrimination of women, the attempts to eradicate racism and now the need to eradicate homophobia!



Taking one sin to indulge in intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution will never be acceptable in the eyes of God!



Christian leaders from around the world have clearly stated their opposition to the "victimization or diminishment" of gays and lesbians, saying demonizing and persecuting them was "totally against Christian charity and basic principles of pastoral care".



"We say that no one should have to live in fear because of the bigotry of others."



The Mormons poured millions into forcing through prop 8 in CA: to ban gay marriage. In August 2010 the court held that to be unconstitutional. On 15 June 2011 the San Francisco court upheld that decision because it violates the constitutional rights of citizens. On 7 February 2012 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck the California law again finding that the California state constitution banning same-sex marriage violated principles of due process and equal protection under the law.



The court found that the ban violated equality laws to target a minority group and withdraw a right that it possessed, without a legitimate reason for doing so. Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California. The constitution simply does not allow for laws of this sort.



The Supreme Court upheld the early court decision and has now stated that gay marriage is legal in ALL STATES! Thus gay marriage is legal and anyone who shows intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution towards them faces the CRIMINAL LAW and the charges are rated as HATE CRIME with severe sentences!



Sadly Christianity is being destroyed and criminalized by people who use the bible as their excuse for totally unchristian behaviour.



The loving god works in mysterious ways.

Answer 22

It is not a mental illness but it definitely IS a character flaw.They are sexual deviants are it's does not make sense for someone to suddenly "choose" to be ostracized.As far as my knowledge goes neither Pedos nor Gays "Consciously" choose to become what they are.It's mostly subconscious promptings that they get and "choose" to listen to slowly over time.This is why despite therapy,some pedos still become repeat offenders.If we fight against the notion of them "choosing" to be how they are then we are denying the existence of human "freewill".People who support the gay rights movements are simply letting their politically instilled emotions get in the way.Homosexuality is definitely less of a mental illness and more of a personal character flaw though.There is no conclusive evidence that Homosexuality is genetic and even publications claiming that homosexuality is genetic admit to holes in that theory later on.I think they came up with those publications in the first case due to political motives.It's possible that homosexuality used to be simply a choice made by people who've sexually experimented (as do people today)but because of artificial chemicals polluting our environment like xenoestrogens,some people are born with a slight inclination towards being gay.Only recently has homosexuality been seen in the animal world along with other perversions such as inter-species sex,having sex with dead bodies (necrophilia)etc.Such events were never observed in the past.So it may indeed mean that IF homosexuality is not a choice then it is a defect caused by pollution.Homosexuality is against the flow of nature and nothing is more self-degrading than sticking your penis into someone's sh*tter. Anal sex is practiced by straight people as well,which of course does not make it any less wrong.But besides oral sex ,Gay people have no other way to have intimate sexual relationships.Being Gay is NOT about purely love.Anybody can love anybody else without it having to be sexual unless of course you side with people such as pedophiles ! People who support homosexuals and trannies are emotionally driven morons who believe in every fallacious scientific publication purporting to prove homosexuality is normal.All those publications were politically motivated and NOT CONCLUSIVE AT ALL.For example one study that purports that being gay is natural cites the "evidence" that if a person is gay his uncle is also like to be gay.But this is nothing but showing a car for a motorcycle.This is actually proof that homosexuality is only a very very small percentage influenced by genes or other factors else it would appear in immediate relatives instead of more distant ones.Back in the old days there was actual proof of evolution when a part human part ape skull was found and atheists rejoiced over this discovery but after 60 years it was found out to be something fake a scientist cooked up.Scientists have agendas too and i would not be surprised if most of this pro-homo pseudo intellectual nonsense gets thrown away! Even if one cannot control one's gay urges one has the FULL ability to choose whether to do something disharmonious and perverted as homosexual acts.

Answer 23

If you translate the bible passage from the language in which it was written, into modern english, it is not talking the way christians even think.



Google the meaning in hebrew of "let the blood be upon their heads" HINT it has nothing to do with killing, or even condemning them, its about disease.



They had lots of similar phrases blood on your hands was you were indirectly responsible or complicit in the killing of someone or a group.



Blood on your head - you were responsible for or complicit in the spreading of disease



the passage in modern language reads:

If you sleep with a dude, its your own fault if you get ill.



The only other place you see the same phrase used is when being told not to eat pork or the blood be upon his head. ( pork used to make people sick)



But hey if your going to be a bigot, you dont need a bible, just smile, and be a bigot, the rest of us will feel how sad for you.

Answer 24

O.K., God doesn't hate gays, but Satan loves them!



Pedophilia and pederastry are both horns on the same homosexual devil.

Answer 25

Yes, I agree that our Creator does not hate gay people, but then again, our Creator does not hate ANYONE. However, he does hate the act.



Actually, it is due to inheriting imperfection Romans 5:12 Not due to being created like this, otherwise, indeed, our Creator would permit it.

Answer 26

All actions are a choice. Nobody has sex by accident. God commands that sex be ONLY in the marriage bed between a man and his wife and other than that the heart is to remain pure. God has also condemned homosexuality, so you argument is false.

Answer 27

While the Bible disapproves of homosexual acts, it does not condone hatred of homosexuals or homophobia. Instead, Christians are directed to “respect everyone.” 1 Peter 2:17



Even though they do not condone homosexual relations, true Christians show kindness to all people. (Matthew 7:12) God wants us to “honor men of all sorts.”

Therefore, genuine Christians are not homophobic.

Answer 28

The point in history has been made in three citys already! Go right ahead gay out!



When you wake up and the sky is red and liquid fire starts dropping you can have one last romp before your world burns to ash!

Answer 29

I don't care about gay people

Answer 30

God looks at man from the sinning point of view.

if a man is in sin ... whatever that sin may be, s/he is in God s wrath.

if a man is NOT in sin ... s/he is blessed.



so, does God hate gays ? nope

but the gay person is in sin, therefore, such a person is in God s wrath, things go wrong in his life. Perhaps, he will lose his job, etc.

Answer 31

It is fair to let God speaks who He will hate instead of speaking for God because God is the One who has sent His Son.

Answer 32

Definitely agree. God do not distinguish among people. He loves all

Answer 33

I agree 1000 percent!

Answer 34

God is there to love each and every living beings and non living things. Believe it

Answer 35

God hates the sin not the sinner. It is not too late to repent and accept Him as Savior. Murderers, adulterers or any other sin must be repented of and cease to do the sin. Gays and lesbians are no different. They, too, must be forgiven and stop doing the sin.



There are sins that God considers to be worse than others evidenced by the fact that the bible teaches that there will be degrees of punishment in Hell (Luke 12:47-48). Homosexuality is not just another sin amid a plethora of sins increasingly abided by in America. It is a uniquely grievous sin identified in the bible as a barometer of how depraved a society has become. In the book of Romans, Paul identifies it as the sign of a society begging for the wrath of God (Romans 1:18-27).



Jesus Christ is the Son of God. If we have invited Jesus to come and live within us and be the Lord of our lives then our inheritance in the future kingdom is assured.



God's word says in John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me."



In order to invite Jesus to be your Savior and Lord, you must believe in you heart that He is the Son of God, believe that He died upon the cross of Calvary as an atonement for your wrong doings, and believe that He arose from death and the grave. We must confess and repent of our sins and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. If you have never done this then stop right now and pray this prayer.



Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus repenting and asking forgiveness of all my sins. Your Word says, "whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21). I am calling on You. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10. "If thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead thou shalt be saved" I do that now. I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. I am a Christian ..a child of Almighty God! I am saved!



You are now an heir to the Kingdom of God! Your future is assured. I want to encourage you to find a church in your local area to attend. Tell someone that you have just received Jesus as your Lord. Than start digging into God's Word.





"I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day" (2 Timothy 1:12

Answer 36

God hate murders and thieves but they still exist.

Answer 37

LET ME TELL YOU THEY ARE PRECIOUS TO THE LORD OUR GOD AS ALL OF US ARE. NOW IF YOU HAVE IMPURE THOUGHTS OR TEMPTATIONS IT IS NOT A SIN. ITS ACTING ON THEM THAT IS THE SIN. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF ITS OF A MAN OR A WOMEN. ALL LUST IS IMPURE AND GOD HATES THE SIN BUT TRULY LOVES YOU. IF YOU ARE TRYING TO BE GOOD, YOU ARE DELIGHTING GOD VERY MUCH BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT SOMETIMES TO RESIST BUT IF YOU ARE TRYING JESUS(GOD) WILL HELP YOU BACK AND STRENGTHEN YOU BEHIND BELIEF. THIS IS DONE BY RECEIVING HIS BODY AND BLOOD, SOUL AND DIVINITY AT HOLY COMMUNION, AND PRAYING IN SECRET TO HIM, HE SEES YOU IN SECRET AND WILL REWARD YOU AT THE PROPER TIME.

YOU ARE SPECIAL BECAUSE YOU ARE RESISTING DOING EVIL JUST FOR GOD. IF YOU DID NOT HAVE THE TEMPTATIONS THERE WOULD BE NO GREAT STRUGGLE. LET ME TELL YOU HOMOSEXUALS DO NOT GO TO HELL FOR HOMOSEXUAL THOUGHTS JUST LIKE ADULTERERS DONT. IT IS THE FALLING INTO THE LUSTFUL SINS AND NOT ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS BEFORE YOU DIE THAT PUT A PERSON INTO HELL NOT THE TEMPTATIONS. REMEMBER JESUS WHEN CARRYING HIS CROSS FELL THREE TIMES BUT GOT RIGHT BACK UP IN TERRIFIC PAIN AND MOVED FORWARD JUST FOR LOVE OF US AND HE IS LEAVING US AN EXAMPLE THAT WHEN WE FALL GET RIGHT BACK UP JUST FOR LOVE OF HIM AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS WITH A SINCERE HEART AND YOU WILL BE FORGIVEN EACH AND EVERY TIME. DONT YOU THINK OR LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE SINCERE AT REPENTANCE, THE LORD KNOWS AND YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE TRYING OR NOT. IF YOU ARE TRYING THATS ALL GOD ASKS OF YOU, HE WILL WATCH OVER YOU IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY AND IN TIME (ITS NOT DONE OVER NIGHT) YOU WILL BE CURED OF ALL YOUR SEXUAL DESIRES IN HIS NAME. DID YOU KNOW THAT ST AUGUSTINE WAS A SEX ADDICT AND HE TURNED TO GOD FOR STRENGTH AND IS NOW A SAINT. YOU SEE HOW TEMPTATIONS GOT HIM TO BE A SAINT, GOD WATCHED HIM CLOSELY AND KEPT HIM SAFE, BECAUSE GOD KNEW HE WAS TRYING, JUST LIKE HE IS WATCHING OVER YOU.

Answer 38

God does not hate anyone. Gay or pedophiles.

God hates what they do.

Answer 39

Romans 1:22 KJV Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,



23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things



24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:



25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.



26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:



27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.



28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;



29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,



30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,



31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:



32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.



23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

===============================



Luke 13:2 KJV And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?



3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.



4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?



5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
