LGTB in Christianity

[jessicadazzler97]

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

 What about other religions/faiths/beliefs?

Religion has nothing to do with   homosexuality

And endorses the life long Union

Of a man and wife. 

I did not write the Bible

But I do know what it says and

At no time does it endorse

Homosexuality

You can pretend this is incorrect

All you like but what does it matter

If you are not religious

well I'd better let you in on something that we discovered. my OH recently worked for a Catholic Org. and I can tell you that a few people's sexuality there is not what it seems, ( if you get my drift)

[debra9275]

so where they stand in the Judgement Day thing I have no idea. I wonder if it worries them?

Predators position themselves in places where their

Prey is easy to access

Has nothing to do with religion

[debra9275]

no nothing to do with predators I'm sorry, you are so on the wrong track

How many people do you think are 

Hiding under the guise of Christianity

For whatever reason maybe because

It's easier to live your life pretending

To be what you are not than to face the

World as what you are

And as far as religion goes no true believer

Would defile their religion in clear sight

Of God

[debra9275]

I'm not saying any more about it because it is their business not mine but I do know that things are quite different to what you seem to think

that's all

Funny how some peoples minds work..

[opmania]

Yes it is funny how people's minds work

How people just want what other people

Have just because they can't have it

And when you are given something that is very

Special you can't treat it with some kind of

Respect

According to my children who attend a christian school (we are not christian) you only need to believe in god to be a christian.

So the real question is are churches or other Christians accepting of homosexuality. I guess the answer could only be that some are and some aren't. I read on a ssm page that 53% of Christians want same sex marriage and probably many of those who don't like the idea of homosexuals marrying aren't necessarily homophobic or bigoted, they just have strong ideas of what marriage is according to their faith.

I think there are some other religions that have much stronger anti homosexual views and there are still several countries where homosexual activity is punishable by death under sharia law.
