Why not? You're calling out gays. You've made hundreds of posts labeling gays as sinners. Are you so special no one should call you out? You want to lecture the LGBTQ community on sin but you don't want to bring attention to your own.That's par for the course for people with you beliefs. And one more reason people see fundamentalists as hypocrites.
Well, one might think that after all of these threads and hundreds upon hundreds of posts dealing with the subject of homosexuality that someone would have come up by now with a VALID reason as to WHY, 1. God would have a specific ax to grind with homosexuals, 2. homosexuality is seen to be 'a sin' in the first place, 3. Christians insist that the Bible speaks of homosexuality when it doesn't, and 4. so many Christians are obsessed with homosexuality.
Does anyone have answers to these questions? If so, please present them - in concise English - so that we can all go home and concern ourselves with some of the REAL issues in life that might affect us.

Jeff is too busy worrying about the speck of sawdust in gay peoples' eyes, while ignoring the giant evergreen in his own. He's the very type of person Jesus criticized and said, "I do not know you".
Well, we have had at least two anti-gays saying they made the choice to be hetero. Now for me there was no choice in the matter - I'm bloody well hetero! No deciding which way to go or whatever. This is who I was born, who I am. I would imagine it is the same way for gays. One cannot fight your orientation (unless one is bi in which case either way will do I should think). Perhaps a gay person would care to enlighten me? No pressure.
That's like asking why is it not OK to have multiple sex partners? It is not ok to be gay because you are living in rebellion against God. Your spiritual life will never flourish as sin puts up a wall between us and God. And I don't know how you people do it, but somehow you just deny the reality that homosexuals in America are a major contributor to the spread of HIV. It hasn't changed. And that burdens the health care system and tax payer.
Multiple partners like the great patriarchs of the OT had?

When Protestant missionaries first began to work in Africa a few hundred years ago, that's what they ran up against in polygamist cultures. Some Africans embraced Christianity because it dovetailed with their beliefs that included spirits and miracles, but when they pointed out that the patriarchs had multiple wives/concubines as they did, the missionaries had a hard time countering that.
Back in Europe, the matter of polygamy was discussed heartedly, with one leader saying, "it would make honest men of us all".
Deflect and ignore that you are blaming other people for your claim that your god has you focused on homosexuality and is speaking about it through you.
Not deflecting anything. The premise is being overstated. The point is, WHATEVER the subject that gets brought up, He is a liberty to pull out of me that which He has formed in me. Peace
