You guys keep talking about rights. You say that it's OK to respect someone's rights but not their way of life. This is where a lot of Christians are mixed up (not opinion). In Christ, we have no rights outside of GOD's Will. We belong to him. Any Christian who wouldn't freely give up his "rights" for the Will of GOD does not know what it truly means to be a Christian. We are supposed to be separate from the world. Different. A Royal Priesthood. A peculiar people. If the "system" says we have the right to something, that doesn't necessarily hold water with GOD. We don't have the freedom to exercise our "worldly" rights according to GOD's standards but only those rights given by HIM. The world system is irrelevant and should NEVER be the rod we use to measure ourselves. Jesus loves everyone but HATES lifestyles that are outside of His Will. Regarding children and those who would cause them to stumble read Matthew 18:6

I never said homosexuality was not a sin. I do think that gay people are capable of loveing others and i don t mean just other gay people.
Do you know any gay people ? you might even work with a gay person and not even know it.
And surprise !! Jesus died for All people and that means gays. yes they have to repent and come to Him for salvation but so did you. So don t start this holier then thou crap . I bet you have some nasty little secrets inn your life you don t want anyone to know about just like the rest of us.
How come everyone keeps saying that??Originally posted by MyJhongFist
You too??????
How come everyone keeps saying that?
Is it that much of a stretch to imagine NOT approving of someone's lifestyle but still supporting their rights in society?
Just because someone supports their rights, automatically the homophobia kicks in and people are running around saying: "THEY SUPPORT THE GAY LIFESTYLE, THEY SUPPORT THE GAY LIFESTYLE!!!!!!"
There is a difference, you know.
---------------------
For instance, say there is a heterosexual, non-Christian, married couple. Good people for the most part: caring, non-abusive, etc. But say they are devout atheists.
Do we have the right, as a society, to tell those people "Hey, you are good people and all, but you are not allowed to have children. Because you will warp their minds and bring them up atheist"
I know what the Bible says. But I am talking about the LAW right now. Our government has way too much control over our lives as it is, and they should not be able to tell people if they can have children or not.
Let's not go down that scary road.
-------------------
Love the sinner hate the sin. But it seems that many people's attitude is: "Love the sinner, Hate the sin. Hate the sin so much that you ostracize the sinner and take away the rights that everyone else has, so that they may see the error of their ways. That will teach those dirty sinners!!!!"

Let me say this one more time.
Just because you support someone's rights, does not mean you approve of their lifestyle !

Do you get it yet?
Climb down off the high horse and listen.
God says they are perverts. Why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? He destroyed that place because they were all sexual perverts. No child should ever be put into a place like that. I'm sure there are well meaning gay people out there, but their lifestyle greatly offends God. If God would Destroy a whole city because of their immorality what makes you think something like that would be in the best interests of a child?? We cannot change God's laws or ideals to serve our own purposes. I honestly pray amie that you find what you are looking for. Just make sure that you rely on God's word not man's.Originally posted by amie
what makes you think homosexuals would be bad parents?
Just one thing amie, it's not my opinion.Originally posted by amie
Tyler,
I think I am finding what I am looking for and I stand by my opinion that I believe homosexuals are fully capable of being loving, caring parents. I do not believe for one second that a persons homosexuality makes them a bad parent. I know you think otherwise and so I respect your opinion. God Bless you too Tyler.

I'm with you rollinTHUNDER.Originally posted by rollinTHUNDER
I am officially dropping out of this. I had my two cents in the pot. No good came from this post. Some think homos should be parents/ and God thinks the homos should be killed. GEE - I know who's side I'm taken.
50/50 - you pick it.
