Well, I'm a 27 year old Christian guy, determined to get out of it. Not to "turn straight", but not be active with men.

I've never thought of it that way. I'm in between religious beliefs at the moment, but yours has given me an entirely new perspective on Christianity. Thanks for putting it out there!

I used to think I was a Christian until I understood that they believe Jesus is God.\n\nI believe Jesus is a man, and God made him both Lord and Christ. I am a follower of Jesus of Nazereth.\n\nI believe we are ALL sinners and fallen short of the glory of God and need forgiveness.\n\nI believe that homosexuality, not homosexuals, is evil and leads to a life of confusion and pain. It is the result of the fall of man, as are all other diseases, birth defects, death and sufferings in this world.\n\nAny homosexual who repents and makes Jesus his Lord will inherit eternal life. Any who do not, like any other sinner, will face judgement from God.\n\nGod is a righteous judge, and they will recieve whatever God says is just.

The fact is that one's sexual orientation has no bearing on how willing a person is to stake their entire worldview on mythology and superstition.\n\nMy question to you is: Are you the final arbiter of what constitutes a "Christian?" I had always been led to believe that one of the tenets of Christianity is "judge not, lest ye be judged."

You go girl. I'm a Christian too, and nobody will ever change that. Being a christian is the greatest thing that can happen to a person.

I hate to say this but No.  I'm sorry myself to all homosexuals but so is the will of GOD that the homosexuals are damned and not a part of his kingdom.  If it were up to me... But it's not.

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with being gay.I have a couple close friends who just happen to prefer the same gender, and I wouldn't change them for the world! I think it's a huge compliment for a woman to tell me she'd like to sleep with me,even though I'm straight.The bible says homosexuality is an abomination in the Old Testament.I'll get back to you on the specific verses.

Of course I believe in God, silly boy. I just don't choose to be Christian. I'm a Non Denominational Happy Pagan Person. God and I keep organized religion out of our relationship. It simplifies matters greatly.

Right on, brother! I'm with you all the way. That's the last thing Jesus would do, especially knowing that he purposely created that problem on earth for both gay and non-gay people to deal with. No pain, no gain. If you can be gay and make it through life following the good rather than evil in your heart, congratulations! In my opinion you've made it to heaven. The same holds true for non-gays when it comes to following the good in their hearts.\n\nPS,  I believe there is at least some genetic (gene) component that predisposes most gays to their attraction to the same sex. If so, who but God gave it to them?

Yes, I am a Christian. I go to 2 Churches. Bethany Baptist and Saints Memorial. I go because I know that God Loves me and I know what he went through for me. He died on the Cross. He got nails in his arms and legs and wore thorns on his head. He even got whipped! So that is why I go. And if you're a Christian, you wouldn't have to ask why!

It is totally possible to hold Christian beliefs and be gay. It's just not possible to believe that God accept's your lifestyle. The Bible makes it clear that same sexes coming together is an abomination. either give up the penis or Prepare to swim in the lake of fire dude.

I am a Christian, and bi-sexual.  And perfectly happy being so.\n\nInteresting facts:\n\nIn Ancient Hebrew, there was a word for something that was a sin in and of itself, as opposed to a "legal" sin -- something that was declared a sin to differentiate the Hebrew people from the surrounding hedonistic cultures.  The book of Leviticus, where the first of the two mentions of homosexuality in the Old Testament is found, uses it in reference to child sacrifice.  But it is never used in reference to homosexuality.\n\nThe New Testament was written in Koine (spelling?) Greek.  This language had six different words referring to homosexual behavior (they did not understand it as an orientation, as we do).  Not one of those six words is ever used in the New Testament.  There are two words that are often (mis)translated as referring to homosexuality.  However, literally translated, the first means "one of loose morals" and the second "a compulsive seducer of boys" -- that is, a pedophile.\n\nOh, and as for Sodom and Gemorrah?  Read a bit more carefully, and you'll find that they were destroyed for their inhospitality (the very sin most Christians choose to perpetrate against Gays/Bi's/etc.), not homosexuality.

Ok guys (and girls).   You all know that the reason you don't like Christianity is simple:  It goes against you.  If you were to become Christian, you wouldn't be able to do the sinful things you enjoy doing.  As a Christian, I am called to like a life according to the Bible.  Sure, I mess up, but I'm sorry for what I did, and ask forgivness from the person I offended and from God.  The whole thing of it is this:  Christianity convicts you.  If you accepted it, you would have admit you were wrong.  At least admit this:  You wouldn't want to say "I was wrong, forgive me"  would you?  No.  It would hurt your pride.  Pride is the thing that keeps us from heaven as sinful humans.  Jesus didn't come for the people who think they are perfect, He came for the sinners.  Who do you think would be more thankful, the one who was forgiven much?  Or the one who was forgiven little?

It is the only thing that feels true. When I said that I was a Christian I felt like I was living a lie and I do not want to say that I totally rule out the possibility of a god (Atheism). I have always been a big one for the middle ground. OK that is not exactly the middle ground but it works for me.

Absolutely! God made you and he loves you very much!   Don't doubt that for a second.\nI have a problem with the "christians" who are so against gays. Who are they to judge? In the bible it says to judge not or you shall be judged. \nGod gave us the freedom of choice to determine our own course of life and be it wrong or right, that is a personal choice and if god isn't standing there telling you "Not to do this and not do do that" how can someone stand there and tell you what is wrong or right "in god's name"???
