LGTB in Christianity

[jessicadazzler97]

 Do you think it's possible to be LGTB and a Christian?

 What about other religions/faiths/beliefs?

 Note: Please don't be nasty! Whatever your personal beliefs, I didn't start this thread so you could offend each other. Please be nice and try to be understanding. This is a public forum, anyone can read what is written here. Thanks!

And when all is said & done.

Perhaps the question should have been :

Is it possible to be a Christian - no matter what.

The answer to your question

Is it okay for lgtb to be

Christian is no. 

 Christianity has a very

Rigid and specific guide to 

Life and all things including

  Homosexuals

There is very specific

Instructions on dealing with

Homosexuals in the Bible which

Is the basis for  Christianity

Christianity does not lend

Itself to enterprise bargaining

Rules are rules and are meant

To be adhered to 

You cannot just pick and choose

What part of  Christianity you

Wish to adhere to and delete

The rest

It just doesn't work that way

I think it does work that way for many Christian churches, who have moved from the dark ages,  it's the Catholic churches I believe who are not supposed to welcome homosexuals though even some of them do   (thank goodness)

Sorry - given - this is 2015.

Are we done now?????

So who is the final adjudicator on what the rules are for being a  Christian? Can you be a Christian if you are divorced (the bible has some fairly specific things to say about marriage) Can you be a Christian if youallow women to preach in your church? Can you be a Christian if you don't believe in Adam and Eve  or you don't believe in the virgin birth? Can you be a Christian if you are a Jehovah's witness, or a Christadelphian, or a member of the Plymouth Brethren?

No to all your questions

You can feign Christianity

But when it is time for your

Judgement day God will

Know exactly who and

What you are and what your

Life is worth and deal with you

Accordingly

Right.... Ok........  So nobody actually knows exactly what the rules are, we are all winging it according to our (or our church's) interpretation of the bible, and after we die God will tell us whether we got it right or wrong?

I'm not a religous person, but I thought Judgement Day was more about the type of person you are... a goodie or baddie. never realized it had anything to do with sexuality

Some conversations are worth the effort.

This one, no less than any other, has made interesting reading and given me much to think on.
