Being gay is a choice, being black is not.
...so it's okay to beat up and lynch people if they are different or gay from a white anglox saxon Protestant...you prove the title of this thread very well...

While this IS a subforum intended to specifically address homosexuality I need to shift direction temporarily merely to make a point.
Whatever you have to say above about homosexuality, HHHR, is peanuts at the side of those many thousands that are committing REAL biblical sins while the likes of yourself don't appear to bat an eye. I'm referring to divorcees and remarrieds. In my small local church alone (perhaps 75 members) I'm aware of seven examples of biblical adultery that are going on unnoticed or ignored by the majority. Several of these good people actually hold positions of trust in the church. Multiply that amount by 'however many' throughout the world and we have a situation where adultery within the church setting is of epidemic proportions!
Whatever it might be that upsets you about homosexuals should PALE by comparison to the many, many 'accepted' adulterers that are actually defying the very words of Jesus. Jesus said not a word about homosexualty but He sure had a great deal to say about adultery. It's serious enough to be also included in the Ten Commandments of 'thou shalt nots'. Why do these adulterers not head your list of 'unrepentent sinners'? Please let me know, HHHR, as soon as you're able.
Note: I personally don't have a problem with divorcees and remarrieds just as I don't have a problem with homosexuals. I present the above only to illustrate the blatant hypocrisy of many Christians.

Whenever our gentle belief system is trounced upon by the unrelenting attacks of the gay community, we as humble servants of the most high God must vigorously defend our simple cause: our cause of love, peace, joy and temperance. When, on the other hand, it is observed that there is sin in and among our members; yet by the force of the clear conscience and repentant heart, we must act in the highest accordance of humility and bestow upon our sinning brethren both in prayer and in words of scripture and encouragement to bring him back from death.
And this is the difference: the former is a sworn enemy of God who wields the lie as his weapon of choice; the latter is a long-suffering sinner who's spirit is starving for repentance. As with all savage animals who declare open hostilities on a loving God, we must put the openly hostile gay to an open shame, and with all repentant sinners--back into the faith.
Test the spirits of the gay man. If there is any goodness found; and if the Spirit dictates a possibility of a simple misunderstanding, bring to him the Gospel of truth, being protected by the full Armor of God at all times. If goodness is found, offer words of hope. If only evil is found in a calculating, devious and diabolical spirit, our only recourse is retribution, as we have exhausted all other avenues.
I would agree with what HappyHealthyHolyRoller wrote. Its a Christian forum, its not so much what he you or I think, but what God's purposes are.Um ...that was a noble piece of diatribe that had nothing to do with my post (above) and the question asked of you.

To KCKID,

And you appear to have missed the point also. I asked of HHHR:
I have missed your point on purpose as we dont have lists of unrepentant sinners, as my last post shows we look to what God's purposes are, He is the judge and he will judge how He has said He will judge. Its not what you or I think but what God has said in His word.Why do these adulterers (divorcees and remarrieds) not head your list of 'unrepentent sinners'?
Huh? Hate crims based on race, an immutable characteristic, is NEVER right.
That is very sad isn't it? And to equate beating up people for being gay with Christian values...Forgiven, did you seriously just say he deserved it because he's gay?
I'm done. May God have mercy on you.
...so where did Jesus say it's okay to beat up gays?
It is not okay to beat up gay people. However, wherever the sworn enemy of God is found we must eradicate this pestilence with all speed, lest the world fall into the hands of the wicked.
Who are these sworn enemies? Not all gays, but many of them are. Many are non-believers for the sake of intellectual pride.
Wherever we find them we must do away with them. This is how a just war is fought: respond to the enemy after being attacked, then defeat the enemy.

I am kind of curious if you realize how people will interpret what you are saying. I have read scripture and it tells Christians clearly not to use the weapons of this world to deal with unbelief but instead to use sound reasoning in the hopes of convincing them to follow Jesus the Messiah. I assume that is what you are really trying to say.

That's about the most biased site I've ever seen.

I could just as easily find a site declairing just the opposite. Some schmo who's angry at the world leaves a page of text on the internet and for some reason Christians have to be held accountable.
