Re:Can Gays and God go together?~ 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
okay the thing i was taught that no it can't go together but really it could because god loves u for who u are and the only thing he really hates is when u commit sexual sin with the same sex but if thats what u like to do then so be it.god really can't do anything but condemn u to hell but that really would'nt matter to me

Re:Can Gays and God go together?~ 1 Year ago  
It's called internal cognitive dissonance, I believe.
Those that are raised as Catholics/Christians/Whatever later discover that they are attracted to others of the same gender.

This can not be, it goes against all that they've learnt. Or does it? Perhaps the authors of the Bible misconstrued God's words, or maybe everyone else but me has it wrong. It's the theory that people will change their perception and beliefs in order for them to not feel emotionally chaotic.

Let's say, for a juicy example, that tomorrow scientists definitely find that homosexuality was caused by being neglected of Vitamin B whilst we were in the womb. They tell us this, with confidence, that it was just a difficiency we faced in developement. Many of us would either outright not believe it, some of us would twist their findings to suit ourselves, like the lack of Vitamin B was just being different, not necessarily better or worse. The few that accepted what the evidence was saying would potentially enter mental chaos.

I hope the Pope and leading Church figures never accept homosexuality, but that's because I myself am atheist. I would like to see the Church dig themselves a huge hole on this one, one that I hope they can't climb out.

Cheers

i think the bible is more a set of guidelines on how to live life and not a strict set of rules. so i dont think believing in god means u have to be against being gay.

all sin is equal in gods eyes. and everyone in the world sins. THEREFORE, you being gay is no worse than any other sin committed by anyone else. and god "forgives sins". so yes, gays and god can be toghether. [i am gay by the way and this is my view]]

Re:Can Gays and God go together?~ 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Before I start, I'd like to mention a show called "bare". If you don't know anything about it, go look it up. I think the website is http://www.barethemusical.com
It deals a lot with homosexuality and the church, and is amazing.

Anyway, with that said...
I am a Christian. I come to the conclusion that God loves me. I know that most people in the world (including my mother...) think it's a choice and learned behavior, but I HAVE to believe that God made me the way I am.
The Bible makes it clear that God creates what he creates for a reason. Here are a few Bible verses, for those who are interested...:

Romans 9:20
But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?'

Isaiah 45: 9-12
9 "Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker,
to him who is but a potsherd among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter,
'What are you making?'
Does your work say,
'He has no hands'?
10 Woe to him who says to his father,
'What have you made?'
or to his mother,
'What have you given birth to?'
11 "This is what the LORD says—
the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker:
Concerning things to come,
do you question me about my children,
or give me orders about the work of my hands?
12 It is I who made the earth
and created mankind upon it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;
I marshaled their starry hosts.


Isaiah 29:16
You turn things upside down,
as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!
Shall what is formed say to him who formed it,
"He did not make me"?
Can the pot say of the potter,
"He knows nothing"?


Job Chpt. 10:2-9
2 I will say to God: Do not condemn me,
but tell me what charges you have against me.
3 Does it please you to oppress me,
to spurn the work of your hands,
while you smile on the schemes of the wicked?
4 Do you have eyes of flesh?
Do you see as a mortal sees?
5 Are your days like those of a mortal
or your years like those of a man,
6 that you must search out my faults
and probe after my sin-
7 though you know that I am not guilty
and that no one can rescue me from your hand?
8 "Your hands shaped me and made me.
Will you now turn and destroy me?
9 Remember that you molded me like clay.
Will you now turn me to dust again?


Anyway... I could go on to write a book on the justification of homosexuality with God, but I don't know that anyone would read it. lol.
So, why don't you do your own research?
here's an interesting perspective to get you started:
Go Here: http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_bibc7.htm

Good luck!

Re:Can Gays and God go together?~ 11 Months, 1 Week ago  
I come from a Christian family, attend a Christian school, and you know what is funny, it is their view on homosexuality that leaves me not believing in God. My issue is, my bible teacher sits in class and says that we should not be homophobic, as people attribute that to being problem with Christianity and therefore it looks poorly upon them. He tells us that we need to reach out and help homosexuals as they have lost their way, and need to find themselves again and end their homosexual ways. He, as many others believes its a choice, I'm not out to anybody but my family and here's my issue with that, they say the "lifestyle" is better? Here's my question i plan on asking them the minute i graduate... how could I have made the choice to be homosexual based on better sex and all that nonsense, when im a virgin... whether straight or gay... I've never had an attraction to a girl. Anyways according to him there is some verse in some version of the bible somewhere that says we are in danger of hell fire for our homosexual practices, i cant find the reference and....... i threw out my bible All we need to decide is if we want to believe that our homosexuality keeps us from God, cause interestingly enough there are plenty of things in the bible, given all the different belief systems and all that exist in the world, all groups are doing SOMETHING wrong, so why cant we just simply say that the verse was mis translated? hehe i love that face

God and Gays can go together, and Christians. However I think that being Gay is wrong but BI is okay. As you can still create offspring like Adam + Eve but have some boy fun as well.
