I've looked at it from both viewpoints and you're right, I'm more than likely looking at it through a straight man's glasses, rather than a gay man's glasses. Good thought SR!

If that's the case, then I'll take God's Word any day and live with the verbal abuse.
The big problem is that among those who have heard that "GOD is Love", many simply do not know GOD in the first place and therefore do not have any ideal what real love is. If they knew GOD, they would not say that homo sex is ok. Love destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah with fire. Love, Who is GOD, has extended His Love to all people but those who refuse to receive Love, to receive GOD, GOD will punish.

GOD is not playing games with the seculars. Their time will expire. It will not be any skin off my back. But it would be good to see them repent before it comes to that.

EXACTLY! The difference between you and I is that I don't think it's a sin for someone to be in a homosexual relationship.

Dude homo-sex is a form of love. Sex in general is a form of love. If you use people for sex as in "lust" then that isn't love and it is "greed" and "lust". Got you there. How are you going to get out of this argument buddy?

that would be contrary to what the bible teaches.

God is love...and he is pure.
To say homosex is 'love' then you're saying it is accepted by God
Same thing applies with sex by fornication or adultery

I didn't hear him say it isn't love or any of God's peoples say it either.

Your own words is sufficient proof that I don't need to get myself out of anything.
