Does god hate gays?

I really dont understand why the bible says that gay people are abominations. If God felt this way he wouldn't have made some people attracted to the same sex. It was not God who wrote the bible, he just gave the message and men wrote it. Humans are natrually evil so these men could have put their own words in the bible as well. Do you think God hates gays?

I. Although homosexuality has in these last days become more and more acceptable to society, it is nonetheless evil and wicked in the sight of God.

I. When God created man and woman He intended that there remain a respect within His people for the distinction He had made between the two sexes.

Deuteronomy 22:5

A. Homosexuality became widely practiced in Old Testament times.

Genesis 19:5-11

Judges 19:22
(The Hebrew word here translated 'know' literally means 'to have intercourse or relations with.' It is the same word used in Genesis 4:1, in which it is recorded that 'Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain ...' It is also used in the same sense in Genesis 24:16; 1 Samuel 1:19b; and Luke 1:34.)

B. It was still common during the time of the first century church.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

C. Scripture even indicates that, in the end times, the homosexual way of life will become openly practiced and generally accepted by society as a whole.

2 Timothy 3:1-5

III. How serious an offense is it?

A. Under the Law, the act was considered 'worthy of death.'

Leviticus 20:13
Romans 1:27, 32

B. Scripture clearly says those guilty of this transgression are unfit to inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:9
1 Timothy 1:10

I've. It is an abomination to God.

A. The sin is self-defiling.

Leviticus 18:22, 24

B. It is unnatural (Romans 1:27, 31; 2 Timothy 3:3), and to accept or encourage this way of life is 'contrary to sound doctrine' (1 Timothy 1:10).

C. God abhors it!

Leviticus 20:13, 23

D. Believers are expected to 'put aside' such evil practices of their former way of life.

1 Corinthians 6:9, 11
('... and such were (p.t.) some of you ...')

E. Because they refused to abandon their wicked ways 'God gave them up.' (They became reprobate.)

Romans 1:24, 26-32
Ephesians 4:17-19

V. It is possible to be set free from the bondage of this offense. The sin is not unforgivable.

1 Corinthians 6:11, 9-10

Do you think there's God?

yes I do believe in God

Once people start thinking in negative mannner they just impose any rules.I believe in bible also.It depwnd on situation.

Oh, well. Then we hit a dead end.

its irrelevant, even if God did hate gays is that a good enough reason for you to do the same?

It is said that god loves all his creatures. It is usually those that fear what is different to themselves that hate. If there truely is a god then he should not be able to hate, he should love all his creatures as preachers like to preach.

well said bjteray

If there is such a supreme being, I doubt it HATES anyone.

According to the Bible, God hates sin - any and all sin - likewise a Christian is to hate the sin but love the person - ANY person who accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, in their lifetime (recieve salvation and turn from their sin) is Heaven-bound !! - every person has that choice...Hope this helps !!

Is it a sin to be born GAY? I don't think people choose to be GAY...so maybe GOD hates itself for making them GAY in the first place!!! I knew a guy in prep school that was sooo gay, but at that age I doubt he woke up one day and decided to be gay, he just was!!! I felt sorry for him because he was ridiculed every day, so does GOD agree with the ridiculers? Should we cast these people out because of how they are? Religion has some double standards. I'm sure if GAYS are GODS children, he loves them no matter how they are.

no ones perfect not even god. he createst everyone how he wants. The only one who hates on 'gays' is stupid people.

To dijitaltrix: I wasnt trying to say that I think gays should be hated. I am a lesbian and I just wanted to know why some christians are jerks.

God shouldn't hate gays.
If a man would rather have a relationship with a man, and is happy, god should also be happy.

I support gays, lesbians and people who are different and happy, it takes a lot of pressure to do something like that and still be happy, to ignore all the taunts and be happy with a soul mate, who may or may not be of the same gender.

god doesn't hate gays I must agree with amblessed saying that god hates sins, and as long as its mentioned in the bible so its a sin,and god doesn't make people attract to the same sex , its their choice,and sure god is so merciful, but how could you do something while knowing that god hates it, for me loving god means doing what pleases him, wish you love and peace.

God doens't hate gays!!!
He hates' that they are sinning. God made Adam&Eve.
Not 2 guys. Not 2 Girls. & God didn't create being gay or whatever.
The world brought it upon itself.. The corruption everything! We brought it upon ourselfs.

Gays don't CHOOSE to be gay, they just are. Like people don't CHOOSE to be retarded, they just are.

legion--

I disagree. Being gay is not like being retarded. Although some people are born with natural feelings for the same sex, they have a choice. Retardation is not something that you can choose to stop.

And in answer to the original question, no, God does not hate gays. There is no person in the world whom God hates. He loves everyone ever born, because we are all his children. Wrong choices we make cause Him deep greef, but He loves everyone the same.

Are you kidding me? You people are morons. Do you think homosexuals just wake up one day and say to themselves, 'well hmm...I think I want to be gay from now on...I want to be discriminated against, outcasted by my parents, told im going to hell, etc' righttt. Im sure thats it. If you're not gay, then you obviosuly dont understand. Ask any homosexual and I highly doubt that they'll tell you they CHOSE to be gay.

And If you think that this is a sin, your even more of a moron. Who do you think you are judging other people? Why not judge yourself once in a while? The last time I checked, people whose choice is to be gay, didnt affect anyone else did it? Get a life. seriously. Its because of people like you that our country is so messed up. And I think we all know who im talking about.

browneyedgrl4123--

Good point, nobody has the right to judge anyone else, because none of us is any better than someone else. Also, it's a fact that some people are born with a natural attraction to the same sex. But, I still think they have a choice.

well you can think what you want...but you arent gay im assuming...which means that your 'thoughts' are only so accurate...or basically...not accurate at all. If you had a choice between being gay or straight, would you REALLY choose to be gay? I didnt think so. So I guess you have nothing to back up your hypothesis. sorry.

oh and your Mormon? I guess I rest my case. Does no one know about the massacre that happened in the 1800's when Mormons killed settlers just passing though. Lets do some research where Joe Smith apparently 'knew nothing' about what happened. Shall I say more? Do I need to embarrass YOUR side of the spectrum a little bit? If you're so worried about sin, I would focus on the sin that takes place in your OWN sector before you try and voice your opinion in other places.

God does not hate anyone, but, he does hate sin, and the bible is clear on this subject, homosexuality is a sin. I do not believe that anyone is born with this tendency, I believe it is inflicted upon them, mostly while they are young, they have been intervened with, causing this tendency, or if it is passed thru the genes, I believe it can still be dealt with. God can deliver us from anything that we turn to him about, that is his business, and it is his law that we live by, the ones that love him, that is, because his kingdom is not of this world. There are multitudes now, in the valley of decision, being drawn into this lifestyle, thru the power of the spirit, and this is not the Holy Spirit that I am speaking of. Satan is real, just as God is real, and he is having a hey day, with a whole generation of young innocent vulnerable young people that think it is cool to be this way, and there are multitudes of cheer leaders, cheering them on, from every side line. Declaring that there is no God, and if there is one then he would have to think the same as they do. This is a lie that Satan is planting in each mind, so that he can control their actions. If you read this please know that God gave the bible as a book of instruction, and it says that this is a sin, and needs to be repented of, turned from , delivered from. So, if you persist in believeing this is ok, then, know for a surety that according to the bible it is not ok. You can be free, you do not have to obey this 'feeling'. God would not have given a command, if it was not possible to follow it.

another one bites the dust

Yeah, oh well...some people just don't want to understand. I'm sure if a gay guy could just choose to like women he would, as there are lots of beautiful loving women out there, but it obviously isn't that easy...otherwise they would. It's not like giving up an addiction like cigarettes I think it's a bit deeper than that. But what would I know, I'm just a straight guy...what I do know is that there have been tests done on gay guys, and there's differences within their brains make-up that causes them to have these emotions...kind of like being a women in a mans body. I guess if they read the bible, that'll fix it.

lol yea right. thank you...at least someone gets it

he love ever 1!!!

I've done it again... posted in the wrong name. The Jasont post was actually done by me, sorry, the computer keeps the last name going that was using it, and he was, I forgot to check before posting, bear with me, maybe I'll get it one day.

Silverwings

Blessings...

Despite what is written by us mere humans in a book some 2000 years old, as long as these people love each other...I think that's all 'GOD' really cares about. Considering all the religious based wars that have occurred in 'GOD'S' name over the last 2000 years...it's the least of 'GOD'S' problems. Religion breeds more hate throughout the world than anything else on the planet...I'm sick to death of all these quotes.

thank you!!! legion...sometimes I feel like you and I are alone in these answers lol

Sexuality is a gift of pleasure and communication between to persons at a deeper level. Some people confuse it with reproduction. God made that reproduction uses the power given by sexuality for making it attractive, otherwise people would not reproduce, but one is not the other.

There is nothing wrong with sexuality and attraction between any gender or in any way, it is not necessary that are opposite sex, it is not for reproduction. Sexuality is just a feeling, an emotion a way of sharing and it can happen between any individuals of any gender.

God makes no differences between genders, all are the same, after all we are made at his image and God has no gender.

browneyedgrl4123--

You argue that I can't place an opinion about gays because I'm not a gay guy. But what makes you more qualified? I am not trying to dis on gays, but I have known people who have been straight for the first few decades of their lives and then become gay/lesbian. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that I know all about it! I'm just placing my opinion based on my limited knowledge, just like you.

I agree with mrickstone, you can't judge other people, it is just not right and it is very cruel.

I ain't hating on gays and 4sure god don't hate gays he loves all he's children,but last I heard was Adam was made for eve he was not made for steve no ifs no buts,no maybes,stix and buts don't make no babies...I repeat I ain't hatin ight I'm just sayin what I heard

who says I have limited knowledge? maybe you should check your funmail for more clarification before you assume things. It would be a SMART thing to do.

and if its wrong and cruel to judge other people then why is it ok to judge homosexuals?...which is exactly whats being done here isnt it?

In my opinion; God of course does not hate gays he loves us all as his children and those of you who chose to ignorantly blasphemize God's name you are foolish indeed. But to answer your Question NO, But being gay is a very disgraceful act as well as an abominable sin, we were not meant to be gay our bodies were not created to be disgraceful and overall plain disgusting its just not natural.

God Bless you all

anddd another one bites the dust

arrogance, ignorance, and spitting in God's face - that is how I would define as 'one who hasn't bit the dust yet, but who most certainly will'.

So gay people are arrogant, ignorant & spitting in God's face? Sounds like you are judgemental, hypocritical & homophobic. These aren't very nice qualities. I'm sure many gay people (including all the gay priests around the world) pray for guidance from their God's. It is a fact that gay people have been 'made' the way they are, believe it or not...and I'm sure if the bible was updated, since it's made from many books from different stages in time as it is, your biased opinions would be corrected. It may be 'the word of god'...BUT!!! It is also as that word was percieved by HUMANS, who unfortunately have a funny way of writings things how they want them. Nothing in that bible was written by a GOD. You need to become more tolerant of your fellow humans, and DO UNTO OTHERS, etc.etc...or maybe you will be standing at the gates of heaven having to apologise for being so narrow minded in your approach to millions of GODS children.

legion - where exactly did I say 'gay' people ? >>> arrogance, ignorance, and spitting in God's face - that is how I would define as 'one who hasn't bit the dust yet, but who most certainly will'. <<<

Let me help you - Nowhere :-)

However, it would apply to ANY sinner, of which we ALL are - just some have had their sins forgiven - never more to be remembered, through Salvation - the price Jesus paid on the cross - totally your choice to accept or reject Him.

I reject the words from a man made, man written book, there are lots of them around, especially when they cast people aside, and label them siners for being born different.

wait wait wait...I give amblessed credit...because although his opinions are obviously shown, I think they are the most validated and open-minded on this site for this particular topic. If we're talking about 'arrogance, ignorance, and spitting in god's face', then people who judge homosexuals and the priests who engage in the same actions are the ones who possess those qualities. No one has the right to judge anyone. And for that, I apologize criticizing other perspectives. However, let's leave the judgements up to god if SHE even exists...shall we? k thanks

Furthermore, the bible I believe, is not to be taken literally. People speak of Adam and Eve as if it is a literal story when really, NO ONE knows if they even existed. So is it true just because some MEN wrote it down? MEN who also wrote that EVE was the one to tempt adam into eating the apple? RIGHT! because that makes sense! Even if it WAS literal, how do we know that ADAM wasnt the one to tempt Eve? WE DONT! It's obviously easier to believe written words from people we havnt even met then actually come up with our OWN perspectives...isnt it. Thats why WOMEN are seen as the inferior type even to this day...because men in that day made it a point to make women the inferior gender. and IM supposed to take the rest of the bible seriously? you couldnt pay me!

the end.

God didn't make people attracted to the same sex.
People are veryyy verryyy messed up.
And that's not because of God...

again... my answer for you... is free will.
God gave us free will...
and some people just tend to make bad choices.

Yay haileybre!!!

I agree with digitaltrix. well said

Everyone has a choice...well I try to imagine if everyone on earth was gay with the exception of a group of heteros that are going against the grain. If I knew God wanted me to be gay but I had feelings for men the way I do...I'd have to do what came naturally b/c I couldn't just change the way I feel just like an old friend of mine who was gay and we grew up in church together couldn't. Everytime he would come down from Atlanta to church the sermon just happened to include homosexuality. Trust me...they(gays) don't choose their preferences...they just are. Just like we are. My church obviously says that this is a sin and I don't disagree but at the same time so are a lot of others things that most of us do everyday. Judging, cursing, white lies, envy, greed..come on now. We all do things. Is one worse than the other? Maybe...maybe not..they're all forgivable. In the same way that most heteros are law abiding tax paying citizens...so are gays. Doctors, lawyers, celebs etc. As Americans while we enjoy all of our freedoms we have to accept along with that that we can do what we want within the rights of the law. Gays aren't violating the law... they're violating some people's religeous beliefs... but there is a clear seperation. And back to the subject...If you notice there is a difference between the old and new testaments and the ferocity of the old testament and the calm forgiving nature of the second. We still have the second test. God who loves us and offers forgiveness no matter what we do. I think in return the least we could do is honor his wishes and treat other 'children of God' the same.

God doesn't hate gays
he hates sin.

NO HE DOES NOT, ITS THE DAMNN CATHOLIC RELIGION AT IS MANIPULATING PEOPLE INTO THINKING THAT GAY IS THIS ALMIGHTY TERRIBLE THING. GOD LOVES EVERYONE WHETHER THEY ARE GAY OR SIN THEY WILL BE FORGIVEN. (SORRY DON'T MIND THE CAPS-- KEYBOARD IS MESSED UP.,...)

Being gay...I sure hope not. I never chose to be gay, so I believe God loves me for the way he created me. The bible in its original Aramaic and Hebrew texts doesn't actually denounce homosexuality as a sin; it denounces men who sleep with men for the requirements of a Pagan ritual. The goals of these versus are to denounce Paganism, not homosexuality. The bible does say we are to love our neighbors...even if they're sinners, because we are all sinners and to God, all sin is the same. So if God hates gay people, then he must also hate liers, adulterers, and those with too much pride (snobs).

God made man in his own image, and women was made out of a man, so God must be part women... does that make him gay?

God loves us all equally. Always believe that!

GAYS DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE YOU IDIOTS
THERE BORN THAT WAY
GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD
