i have a christian friend who think being gay is okay, what should i tell him/her?

Thank you young lady for forming this into a God-honoring question.

My answer to your friend would simply be:

Romans 1:26
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:
1:27
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.

Men and women who try to justify their state either

a) know what they are doing is wrong or
b) have no idea what the bible says on the subject.

Either way, their critical issue is their salvation, not their view of things. If they are not a christian, then their views will not be Gods.

Hope this helps,

Jim

thanks

Hi sunny marie,

I believe that you should let your friend know that God loves the homosexual Communities but HE does not love their life style.

Jim is correct in his reply to you.


God is 1million % against same sex ralationships, but not the person, and the reason why I said it this way was because: God had man and woman to be together.

"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Gen. 2:24.

Not to mention other verses that has, "his wife": Gen 3:21 Gen. 11:31. Gen. 12:11. Gen.19:26. Gen. 20:17. Gen. 24:7. Exodus 18:5. Matthew 19:9. Matthew 22:25. Mark 10:11. and last but not least, Eph 5:31.

It is in the old and new testement that a man is to leave his mother and father and shall cleave/ be joined to his wife.
check out the underlined verses.

God made THE way that should be shared with ALL human life.

God knew what He was doing in the begining, He made man, which carries sprim, He made women which carries eggs, when joined together as husband and wife,then came romantically came together, a child conveived and born. Same sex couples can not do this because the fact remains that this proformance is not natural for a same sex couple and they can not reproduce the same way a woman and man /husband and wife can.

God doesn't hate the Homosexual/Lesbian Communities, HE Hates the Sin,{ What ever goes against Him and His Holy Word}, God doesn't attack the homosexual/lesbains in His Holy Word,HE Hates the Sin and he expresses it HIS Way.

On the other fact, If The Bible said that HE hated the homosexual/lesbain communities,and if the bible stated that God had no mercy on them, Don't you{anyone} think that he would have killed them LONG AGO. God IS LONG SUFFERING,and wants the Homosexual/Lesbian Communities to repent and be saved, and what a lot of Christians need to do is STOP making God out to be a Homosexual/Lesbian Hater, by THROUGHING Gods Word in their faces, All Christians have to do is Talk to them and let then know that God Loves them as well as He loves a straight sinner.

sunny marie,
This is something that you can show your friend also.

God Bless,
Grizz..

I see this was back in April..."sunny," how did the talk with your friend go? Was your friend struggling with homosexuality or simply supporting it? Responses to those two different people would look a little different.

I must say, I visit these boards every-once-in-a-while, and in all the times past, I've never went beyond the threads debating Calvinism (since that was something I was dealing with at the time). I never noticed all this other stuff! This is great!

That being said, I just posted something in another thread about homosexuality here...and I found this one...it seems I can help some people, perhaps? I used to struggle with homosexuality, so I offer any advice you might still need. Just ask.

Blessings to you,
Chris

I think one of the problems is that many Christians are more concerned with popularity and being seen to be liberal than they are with the Word of God.

What the church genuinely needs to do is to not get sucked into the semantics of the politically correct crowd. It is not a "lifestyle", it is a sin. Alcoholism is not an "disease", it is a sin. We need to return to the day when sin was called by its name. This does not by any means indicate that we should be mean spirited toward those struggling with one particular sin or another because we are all, apart from Christ, under the curse of the law. With meekness and much prayer we should seek to lift up the fallen and bring sight to the blind.

This is a key statement. Jesus blasted the Pharisees for their self-righteousness. If we approach a brother or sister in a mean spirited way, it will most certainly make things worse than they already are. We should by no means sugar coat the truth and yet be mindful of our own attitude so as not to cause any hindrance to the impact of the truth.
