Here's a good quality, civil, substantive debate/discussion about this very topic!
Side A & B Gay Christians debate sexuality - Brandan Robertson & David Bennett
Brandan Roberston is a progressive pastor of an LGBT affirming church who believes there is no barrier to Christians being in loving same-sex relationships.
David Bennett was an anti-Christian gay activist who experienced a dramatic conversion and now believes that his commitment to Christ requires a path of celibacy.
Do you really think God wants you to threaten people? Is that what being a Christian is? Using a book to beat people over the head with fear of God's rejection? How sick is that. And these are the straight ones who simply believe in acceptance of others. I'd hate to see you two on an LGBTQ person.
The utter ecstasy and delight you demonstrate in your salivation over the idea of the rejection by God of others will be something you have to answer for. Stop pointing your fingers and look to your own souls.
MQ, I would refer you to Christ, why did he make all those so-called threats in scripture.? You know, He did it quite often when warning of the judgement to come.
When He gave the Great Commission, He told us to go "teaching and preaching all the things I have told you,"
That would be what He has taught the Apostles and they have taught us.

This thread is for discussing the relationship of Christians and Christianity with the LGBTQ community. It is simply a continuation of the thread started here:
If you want to set off most conservative Christians get on the topic of homosexuality or gay rights. The anger most of them have regarding this issue is unfathomable. Get on the topic and most conservative Christians will take on an anger and a zeal that you don't see when talking about any other issue except maybe abortion. Whenever LGBT-advocates have a political or cultural victory, Facebook fills up with right-wingers venting their anger and hatred towards these individuals. The same people come to the defense of people like Josh Duggar. Why is this? It seems to be getting a lot worse as many of the beliefs once confined to extremist groups like Westboro are now gaining traction among mainstream evangelicals.
Why is it that a man can cheat on his wife and molest his sister, and have Mike Huckabee call for forgiveness but as soon as somebody comes out as gay, you have Huckabee and his ilk calling on God to wipe America off the face of the planet for simply allowing them to exist?
You ask most people this question and they will say its because the Bible says homosexuality is an abomination. Want to know what also is an abomination? A lying tongue, (see Proverbs 12:22), yet religious right politicians have no qualms with spinning the truth when it suits their agenda. Most people who cry and scream about homosexuality probably aren't even aware of what else the Bible calls an abomination

In your Christian beliefs, it refers to being condemned by God to suffer eternal punishment in hell.
If you object, then have a change of heart, and a renewing of your mind - it's way overdue, Mate!
For the Lord Jesus has redeemed me through His shed blood.
well you should be afraid because you will reap what you sow.
