the bible gets misquoted alot.
we selectively practice its teachings.
jesus is very clear on his position of gays.
he does not condemn nor encourage sexual behavior , he is an ascetic as were his followers most dead at a young age.
monastic behavior is the rule, not your modern day self professed christian.
Everyone sins, and all sins are created equal, thus you are no better than those of whom you complain. Why don't you go around complaining about liars? According to the Revelation quote you listed in your post, liars are in the same category as homosexuals. Everyone into the hot lake of fire!
It's obvious you believe certain parts of both the OT and the NT by these quotes, as least as far as homosexuals are concerned.
Do you feel the same way about other parts? Say, like the ones about when people should be stoned?
Why or why not?
God gave that as an instruction to the Israelite's to that one situation if it is the collecting sticks on the Sabbath you are referring to, you dont see anywhere else in the bible of someone being stoned for breaking the Sabbath or an example of a Hebrew stoned for being a homosexual because they knew better.
Its not what I think, it is what God demands that matters, and God punished all nations for breaking his commands, not just gays.

A liar can confess their sin and stop being a liar and follow Jesus. Homosexuals feel have have no need to repent of their sin as God made them that way, so they will continue to go one and shack up and have sex with each other and never repent.
Big difference with repentance and open rebellion to God.

YOU can have your beliefs on the matter, what you can not do is force other American citizens to live by YOUR beliefs.

Jesus did not have to speak on the topic of homosexuality because they all knew it was wrong back then. He came to uphold his fathers laws and enforce them and show how they should be lived, not allow all sorts of sin. Jesus didnt speak agaisnt beastiality either, but that doesnt mean it is okay to go have sex with animals.
They all knew it was sexual immorality and they spoke against sexual immorality all the time, so there is no loopholes in the bible where homosexuality can slip in.

What about the divorced person that remarries. How come christians don't push for a law that makes this illegal?
Well what do you expect is going to happen when you tell people who don't believe the same things as you that their evil and gods going to torturre them for an eternity for some thing they can't control?
The overall negative tone directed at gays is very offensive,
Its why Christianity, Islam, and Judaism will slowly fade away.
Gays deserve equal rights as straight people, and that is another reason they are upset with so called Christians.
A Christian is suppose to build people up not tear them down.
Outside the church, Gays deserve equal rights, but in the church, you are in Gods house and must go by his rules. If he says no to sexual immorailty or homosexuality, you cannot practice that lifestyle. The bible says once you come to knowledge of the truth , you must change.

Indeed.
There's a remarkable lack of "Why is divorce being forced on us poor, victimized, marginalized, oppressed Christians?", isn't there?
