Idiotic sophistry. Only those blinded by their faith can speak such words and then be surprised when told they are anti-gay.
If you hate someone's sexuality, only in your own mind are you not actually casting down the very being of the person invovled.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but such beliefs ARE anti-gay. That is not a misquote. You simply delude yourselves in not seeing it. It is anti-gay, it is prejudiced, it is bigoted and it is completly immoral.
And it is one of the areas that Christianity distances itself from what is good in this world.

I am just overjoyed that somene else understood my heart as well as God's heart on the subject of homosexuality.
I quote the Bible because I am absolutely, positively, unequivocally, convinced and sold out on the fact that it--the Bible--is God's Word. Notice something folks. I have several hundred posts to my credit since becoming a member of this forum and not once have I called anyone any names. I have addressed you all by your forum names, used with all due respect frequently in some of my replies, and just done my best to remain civil. I have been accused of being stupid, cussed out on this forum repeatedly and called everything but by forum name on several occasions. I have been repeatedly criticized, demeaned, and ganged up on. Some of you have remained mature and treated me with respect. Just because I am solid in my faith does not mean that I do not respect anyone. I do respect all of you but I will not change what I believe.
Jesus Christ is the True God and eternal life, was crucified for the world's sins, buried, and raised from the dead. No other Person has been more maligned, hated, and blasphemed more than God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), or God the Holy Spirit. People use God in conjuction with profanity, "God_______." They use the Name of Jesus Christ like it is an interjection (e.g. Jesus Christ!). The say the Holy Spirit's Name in contempt as well (e.g., Holy______ or Holy that or Holy this). No other religious leaders names even come up in those kinds of contexts (i.e., curse words, interjections, and other blasphemous contexts). I have never heard anyone say, "Mohammed this! or Buddah that!" in any profane way. I have never heard anyone say the devil's name in a disrespectful way either. This ought to at least hint to the fact that Jesus must be the one, true, God after all. Just think about it. We say B.C. (i.e. before Christ, not B.S., before satan, or B.M., before Mohammed, or B.J.S., before Joseph Smith, or B.B, before Buddah). Why not? Again just more clues that perhaps Jesus is the true God. Anyhoo just thought that I'd share that with you all.
Let get myself ready for the backlash.

I actually heard about this lady but, didn't know the whole story of why exactly she was doing this. I personally find her and her supporters to be distasteful and hateful. I can't even imagine the stomach sickening, vile feelings of ignorance and hate these people have inside them.

Dude, i understand ur logic, and i understand that you are being as truthful as possible, but let me explain to you why your point of view is flawed:
You define a homosexual but what they DO, and not by what they ARE, correct? Or alteast you claim to do so, ergo your entire "hate the sin, love the sinner" argument.
However, this is what you do not understand. Being gay does not simply mean you have sex with people of the same gender. It simply means you are ATTRACTED to the person of your same gender. You do not control your attractions, and if you have gay attractions, then being gay is WHO YOU ARE, not "what you do".
There ARE Gay VIRGINS u know.....
Therefore if you hate what a homosexual does, then you also hate WHO THEY ARE....because homosexuality is not a choice. Homosexuality is same sex attraction by definition, and you do not CHOOSE who you are attracted to.
Please try to understand that. If you hate a person by what defines them, then you hate the person as well, whether you realize it or not.
First of: 😆 i don't know who disgusts me more...the Phelps family or FOX news.
Its so wierd that that whole church is one family. Proof that religion is installed and not truth imo.

You should reread your book. Leviticus clearly states that homosexual sex is a sin, but never directly mentions homosexuality. The bible is against all sex anyway. One could take the position that it doesn't descriminate.
Therfore anyone who is making anti-gay statements is not agreeing with god and is simply a worthless bigot 😄

Homosexuality is a choice and people are not born that way.

Apparently it has not occured to those who say "homosexuality is bad because the bible says so" that the bible does NOT in fact dictate how the world should be run and such?
Personally I hate the stance of "hate the sin love the sinner". It's an easy cop-out way of discriminating against people for no real reason at all.
