Can You Be Both Christian and Gay? What the Bible Says

Can You Be Both Christian and Gay? What the Bible Says

Can someone truly follow Christ while living a lifestyle the Bible calls sin? Let’s talk honestly and biblically.
#ChristianIdentity #BiblicalSexuality #christianforums #crosswalkforums #forums #crosswalk #faithcommunity #faithforums

This is one of the most pressing questions facing the Church today: Can someone identify as a practicing homosexual and still be a faithful Christian?

Some believers argue yes—pointing to God’s love, the complexity of human identity, and the reality that all Christians struggle with sin. Some even cite the relationship between David and Jonathan as evidence of a possible same-sex romantic bond that God blessed. Others point out that the Greek words used in traditional clobber passages may not refer to consensual, loving relationships but to exploitation and abuse.

On the other side, many Christians uphold the historical interpretation of texts like 1 Corinthians 6:9–11, Romans 1:26–27, and Leviticus 18:22, arguing that God’s design for sexuality is clearly male-female within marriage. They warn that affirming unrepentant sin—of any kind—undermines the Gospel call to transformation.

Is this a matter of biblical misinterpretation, cultural accommodation, or moral compromise? Or are we seeing a deeper need to walk in both truth and grace?

What do you think: Can a person live a homosexual lifestyle and still be walking faithfully with Christ? Or is repentance non-negotiable for following Him?

“The message of the Bible is not simply about avoiding sin, but being transformed by Christ.”

To answer your question, I’d say yes, but yes in the same way you can be a Christian and a thief, a Christian and a liar, a Christian and one who lusts, a Christian and a gossip, a Christian and contentious, a Christian and a troublemaker, a Christian and a hater, a Christian and disrespectful to authority, a Christian and a deceiver, a Christian and selfish, a Christian and disobedient, a Christian and lazy, … should I continue?

We sanctimonious humans rate “sins” on a scale of unimportant (if I practice them) and worthy of death if I have no such inclination, and of course everything in between. Of course, your sins are always far more heinous than my petty mistakes; your capital offenses are more eternally serious than my secret indulgences. Jesus saved us from the sentence that sin imposed upon us, but clearly, He did not make it impossible for His Followers to miss the mark of holiness, and that more often than any of us care to admit. Every disobedient sinful indulgence testifies to the world that Evil is right and God is blowing things out of proportion. Having been raised from the dead, our vocation is to testify of the truth and to live lives that testify of the holy heart of God.

Paul said it this way:

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Romans 6:1-2

Likewise, you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:11-14

For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. Romans 6:20-22

The living are no longer subject to sin, we are no longer in the dominion of sin. A person following a lifestyle of sexual perversion and also trying to be devoted to following Jesus will have to abandon one to follow the other. That is tough, and unfortunately the decision may be made largely on how other followers of Jesus treat him. You and I can conduct ourselves in such a way that the decision is easier for the one trapped by sin. One way we do that, and maybe our first step as loyal ambassadors of The Kingdom of heaven, is by first acknowledging our own weakness and personal malfeasance, at least to ourselves and to our Father (both will be unsurprised by our confession).

Love always works for a result that is in the best interest of the other.
Much Love in Jesus

Punishment
The Bible not only describes homosexual behavior as detestable, but it also calls for the punishment of those involved (Leviticus 20:13). Their unrepentant attitude caused God to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:24-25).

Just as homosexual conduct has been punished in the past, so it will also be punished by God in the future.

“…Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

Hope
However, there is hope for the homosexual. God forgives and cleanses a person who repents and turns from their sin, including the sin of homosexual behavior (1 Corinthians 6:11). As well as forgiveness, God’s grace brings with it the power to live a life that is pleasing to God (Romans 6:6-7). If repentance and reform are genuine, prior homosexual actions should not be a bar to church membership or ministry, as all Christians are reformed sinners.

‘Liberal’ churches espouse tolerance of homosexual behavior in the name of ‘love’. They plug for the acceptance of homosexual conduct as normal, ‘because they can’t help it’. They are not only wrong about the latter, but they are actually not being at all loving towards homosexuals, because, contrary to the Bible, they reduce the homosexual person to the level of an animal, driven by instinct. In removing moral responsibility from the person, they dehumanize them, whereas the Bible says we are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27), with the power of moral choice.

Furthermore, the gospel proclaims liberation from the bondage of sin, including homosexual sin, whereas the ‘liberals’ tell the homosexual that they cannot help it, and they can’t help them either, so they will accept them as they are! However, many a person has been gloriously rescued from the bondage of homosexual sin (and other sin) by the power of the Holy Spirit, but only Bible-believing Christians can offer such hope.13

Conclusion
As with all moral issues, our beliefs about our origin determine our attitude. If we believe that we arose from slime by a combination of random chance events and the struggle for survival, it is understandable to say that there is no higher authority, and we can make our own rules. However, if there is a loving God who planned us and gave commands for us to follow, then we must do so. God has set forth His standards in the Bible, beginning with the foundational teaching in the book of Genesis.

Here’s the thing–

No, a practicing homosexual cannot walk “faithfully” with Christ while menōn (μένων – abiding, continuing, persisting; cf. 1_John_3:6) in unrepentant sin. The Greek verb peripatein (περιπατεῖν – to walk, conduct oneself; used in Ephesians_5:2 and 1_John_1:6) doesn’t mean one-time failure—it means lifestyle, daily movement, direction. If you’re peripatōn en skotíā (περιπατῶν ἐν σκοτίᾳ – walking in darkness), you’re not just “struggling,” you’re straying.

The verb prassō (πράσσειν – to practice, do repeatedly; cf. Romans_1:32, Galatians_5:21) means habitual action, not isolated lapses.

Paul uses prassontes (πράσσοντες – those practicing) to identify people who live in cycles of sin, not those who are fighting their flesh in repentance.

In 1_Corinthians_6:9, arsenokoitai (ἀρσενοκοῖται – a compound of arsēn “male” and koitē “bed”) and malakoi (μαλακοί – soft, effeminate, passive partners) are present tense participles, describing those actively involved in the acts—not merely tempted or repentant.

Now let’s not forget the Hebrew side of the courtroom. Leviticus_18:22 uses the verb shākav (שָׁכַב – to lie with, sleep with sexually), in the phrase zākār lo’ tishkav (זָכָר לֹא תִשְׁכַּב – “you shall not lie with a male”), and categorizes it as toʿēvāh (תּוֹעֵבָה – abomination, something detestable before God).

This isn’t God frowning in disappointment—it’s divine disgust. He doesn’t “affirm your truth.” He commands holiness.

As for inheritance? Don’t get it twisted. Paul says ou klēronomēsousin (οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν – they will not inherit, future active indicative; 1_Cor_6:10) the kingdom of God.

That’s not a suggestion—it’s a legal exclusion. And the verb metanoēsate (μετανοήσατε – repent, change your mind and turn; Matthew_4:17) is imperative. If you won’t obey the command to repent, you aren’t following Christ—you’re following your cravings.

Peace to all,

To me, Choice is from the Power of Divine Spirit to be able to stand before Him, His Powers in being self-righteous and justified to become again immortally glorified and incorruptibly transfigured becoming again One Divine Family One God in being. We all know we want to always be before Him on Earth as it is in Divinity.

We know not to proselytize, not to preach but only generalize and not to judge but ourselves, to me.

Judging is for only our own soul to become again manifested from the selected “choice” spirit intelligence through the last state of the soul in being becoming again the image of the Creator in One Divine Spirit Family One God in being, to me.

Peace always,
Stephen

Scripture gives no room for confusion—homosexuality, like all unrepentant sin, excludes from the kingdom of God**. This is not about struggle or temptation, but ongoing, practiced rebellion. The Greek and Hebrew texts make that absolutely clear.**

1 Corinthians 6:9–10 begins with Mē planāsthe (Μὴ πλανᾶσθε – “Do not be deceived”; present passive imperative). This is a command not to allow yourself to be misled. Paul then writes ou klēronomēsousin (οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν – “will not inherit”; future active indicative), indicating certain exclusion from the kingdom. Among the listed sins are malakoi (μαλακοί – soft, effeminate, passive male partners) and arsenokoitai (ἀρσενοκοῖται – male-bedders, from ἄρσην “male” + κοίτη “bed”). These are present participles, meaning ongoing lifestyle, not one-time sin or temptation.

Romans 1:26–27 declares paredōken autous ho Theos (παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεός – “God gave them over”; aorist active indicative), showing divine judgment upon persistent sin. The women exēllaxan tēn phusin tēn phusikēn eis tēn para phusin (ἐξήλλαξαν τὴν φυσικὴν χρῆσιν εἰς τὴν παρὰ φύσιν – exchanged natural relations for unnatural), and the men ekaiōthēsan en tē orexei autōn (ἐκαίωθησαν ἐν τῇ ὀρέξει αὐτῶν – burned in their lusts). Again, katergazomenoi tēn aschēmosunēn (κατεργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην – “committing indecency”) is a present middle participle—active ongoing behavior, not an isolated act.

Leviticus 18:22 in Hebrew says ve’et-zākār lo’ tishkav mishkĕvei ishah (וְאֶת־זָכָר לֹא תִשְׁכַּב מִשְׁכְּבֵי אִשָּׁה – “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman”). The verb shākav (שָׁכַב – to lie sexually) in the imperfect indicates a general law prohibiting repeated action. This sin is called toʿēvāh (תּוֹעֵבָה – abomination), a technical term for something that is ritually and morally detestable before YHWH.

Jude 7 reinforces the divine precedent of judgment using sarkos heteras eporeuthēsan (σαρκὸς ἑτέρας ἐπορεύθησαν – “they went after strange flesh”), again a statement of action—not temptation. They serve as a deigma (δεῖγμα – a judicial example), and are dikēn hupechousai aiōniou puros (δίκην ὑπέχουσαι αἰωνίου πυρός – “undergoing punishment of eternal fire”)—God’s verdict, not human rhetoric.

The takeaway: these verbs—prassō, peripateō, menō, arsenokoitai, shākav—are describing ongoing, chosen, persistent patterns of sin. The future indicative ou klēronomēsousin is not symbolic. It is legal, final, and clear: “they will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

God commands: metanoēsate (μετανοήσατε – “repent”; imperative, Matthew 4:17).
He doesn’t invite us to self-identify—He demands that we turn.

No one abiding (menōn) in unrepentant sin is walking (peripatein) in the light.
No one practicing (prassōn) what God has judged as abomination will enter His kingdom.
No appeal to love, culture, or identity overrides the verdict of Scripture.

Repentance is the line. Holiness is the call. Christ is the way.

Johann.

Christianity is about recognising that God IS in control.
That we must submit to him, confessing our sins, accepting his forgiveness, recognising his laws, striving to obey them as we live for him.

This means the drunk, the junkie, the thief, conman, the liar, the sexual immoral, etc etc Must stop doing these things.

The ten commandments does not save us but it shows us what God expects of us in our behaviour.

Yes, a person can be both gay and Christian. All people fall short of perfection, all struggle with vice. Only Christ is sinless. Even if they are sinning on the last day of their lives, but cling to Christ they will be saved. Just like anyone else. All of you (all of us) in your (our) own unique special little ways rebel against rhe Father whether you admit it, see it, or not.

And yet God is patient, kind, and loves each one of us.

God is not a dictator who controls us with an iron grip. He makes room for us to test boundaries and learn for ourselves what is right and wrong. Look at David who loved God with his whole heart and yet conspired to doom a man for that man’s wife.

Dacid accepted punishment knowing the heart of God, which he still pursued. God works all things so that none who are banished remain so.

A greater danger than sexual sin is hard heartedness. Religious hearts that condemn others instead of dealing with their own sins. Lofty hearts that think their knowledge of Scripture wiil save them.

If you have not Love, you are nothing. Even if the person next to you is a bigger sinner than you in your own eyes. Such is the riches of God, who bestows such Grace in order to recieve the Glory. To make jealous all of those who trade His Love for the belief they can save themselves by doing all the right correct things.

God is working something no human mind can comprehend. But it is a long journey to understand God’s Wisdom, and to refrain from judgement until God is done.

And we come to Christ as a child, who God takes into His arms and lifts up. Let no man prevent any of these little ones from reaching God.

Absolutely, emphatically NOT.

Johann.

I will trust in God’s Character over your understanding of the Bible any day. Every day. Over anyone and everyone’s interpretation, really.

And the God that I see in both the Old and New Testaments:

  1. Makes a way where there is no way.
  2. Proves proud men to be fools.
  3. Banishes people with a plan to return them
  4. Lifts up those who are condemned by society,.
  5. He is mindful of the orphan, the widow, the elderly, the foreignor, and the lost.
  6. And He gives good things to those who do not deserve it.

The enemy comes to steal kill and destroy. But my Lord comes to Save. I will never rule out God until what is done is done. And God isn’t done.

And if I am wrong, God Himself can tell me. I am listening.

Let’s speak plainly.

The vast majority today do not come to the Scriptures to be pierced — they come to have their assumptions soothed.
They do not ask, “What saith the Lord?”
They ask, “What will culture tolerate?”

The Word of God has become, for many, a mirror not to expose, but to affirm — a wax-nosed book bent to the fashions of the hour.
What once thundered from Sinai and cut at Pentecost is now trimmed and reshaped to fit the values of a fallen world.
This is not repentance. This is rebellion dressed in robes of affirmation.

If Christ is Lord, then His Word commands.
And if His Word commands, then it must wound before it heals.
But what we see now is a gospel without the cross, love without truth, and identity without holiness.

This is not the faith once delivered.
This is not Christianity.
It is cultural mimicry in sacred dress.

Let God be true, and every man — however sincere — a liar.

Shalom brother.

This line… Amen. Exactly. Every man is a liar. Every one of them will twist scripture towards their own ends, to steal kill and destroy. And history can acclaim to that. People accused of witchraft and murdered so some rich guy could get their hands on a plot of land. One example of many.

Murder is at the heart of the wicked. Looking for a reason to destroy a life. The Jewish people were persecuted since the time of Christ because they were blamed for killing Christ. Because some man claimed authority and twisted the Bible and used it to steal kill and destroy. Out of greed. From lack of Love.

I will listen to no man who points their finger and cries sinner at someone else. I listen to God. I look at the Bible and I look at God. I know who God is. I don’t know who you are.

As for this day and age, the hearts of many have grown cold. Including those in the church. We should pray that truth replace lie and delusion, and the Holy Spirit bring revival. Foster forgiveness and kindness in the hearts of man that has becomr so filled woth malice Rather than a desire for destruction, damnation, and control, a Spirit that fosters Life.

  1. 1 Corinthians 6:9–10
    “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
    nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.”

  2. Romans 1:26–27
    “For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,
    and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another,
    men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.”

  3. Romans 2:5–6
    “But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
    who will render to each person according to his deeds.”

  4. Romans 1:18
    “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.”

  5. Ephesians 5:5–6
    “For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
    Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.”

  6. Colossians 3:5–6
    “Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.
    For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience.”

  7. Galatians 5:19–21
    “Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,
    idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,
    envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you,
    that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

Let these stand without explanation. The Word of God is sharp, clear, and final.

Johann.

Proverbs 11:9-19

9 With words an evil person can destroy a neighbor, but a good person will escape by being smart.

10 When good people succeed, the city is happy. When evil people die, there are shouts of joy.

11 Good people bless and build up their city, but the wicked can destroy it with their words.

12 People without good sense find fault with their neighbors, but those with understanding keep quiet.

13 Gossips can’t keep secrets, but a trustworthy person can.

14 Without leadership a nation falls, but lots of good advice will save it.

15 Whoever guarantees to pay somebody else’s loan will suffer. It is safer to avoid such promises.

16 A kind woman gets respect, but cruel men get only wealth.

17 Kind people do themselves a favor, but cruel people bring trouble on themselves.

18 An evil person really earns nothing, but a good person will surely be rewarded.

19 Those who are truly good will live, but those who chase after evil will die

Jeremiah 8: 7-9
Even the stork in the sky
knows her appointed seasons,
and the dove, the swift and the thrush
observe the time of their migration.
But my people do not know
the requirements of the Lord.

8 “‘How can you say, “We are wise,
for we have the law of the Lord,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes
has handled it falsely?
9 The wise will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed and trapped.
Since they have rejected the word of the Lord,
what kind of wisdom do they have?

Mayhew 23

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

5 “Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.

8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you will be your servant. 12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

Seven Woes on the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees

13 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. [14] [b]

15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

16 “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’ 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22 And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it.

23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.

27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

29 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!

33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.

37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[

Deflection again, brother. You’re evading, not answering. So let’s ask it plainly:

Are you saying a man actively practicing arsenokoitia (ἀρσενοκοίτης – noun from 1 Cor 6:9, formed from ἄρσην “male” and κοίτη “bed”, i.e., a male who lies with males),
and not repenting – Greek: μετανοέω (present active participle, continuing not to turn)
and not being sanctified – ἁγιάζω (present passive participle, not being made holy)
and not putting to death the deeds of the body – θανατοῦτε (Rom 8:13, present active indicative, you are putting to death)
and not walking in newness of life – περιπατήσωμεν (Rom 6:4, aorist active subjunctive, let us walk)
is yet somehow saved and in Christ?

Because Paul said clearly that those who do such things – πράσσοντες (Gal 5:21, present active participle, the ones who are continually doing)
shall not inherit the kingdom of God – βασιλείαν θεοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσουσιν (future active indicative, they will not inherit).

So again, with full apostolic weight:
Is your gospel stronger than Paul’s warning?
Is your hope built on a Christ who contradicts His own Word?

Or are you redefining love by cultural norms while trampling what the Spirit said through Paul?

No more dodging.
Yes or no.

J.

Pure and simply:

  1. What is your motivation here to call someone a sinner? Or rhat they can’t be gay/ a sinner and still be Christian or saved?

  2. What motivates you to go to events with loud speakers to condemn people?

  3. Why do you want another person to be treated like an outcast, disowned by their families, thrown out of their jobs or churches, demonized, to be ignored in hospital beds in the 80s during the AIDS epidemic where families did not even claim the dead because the churches made them feel so ashamed to have a gay kid because the church ran it into the ground that they were sinners, the worst of the worst?

This is the fruit of attacking a whole group of people, like saying a gay person can’t be a Christian, is a sinner (more so than you).

  1. To have protective laws removed from the books that keep them safe from people who hear your characterization of them as Godless and then decides to do something about it becauae you called that person a threat?

Where does this desire spring from in your heart? Do you hunt out your own sinfulness with this much energy?

This here, this hellbhent Destruction focused behavior is Satan, not Christ. Not God.

Christ saves. God looks for a way to save and restore. Only the devil and the children of the devil goes looking to steal kill and destroy. Using God’s Word to do it.

You are still a sinner capable of sin. And no one is pointing out your sins to you. No one railing against your existence. Are they?

And yet who is persecuting who here?

Let me know if you want to stay on topic–Can you be both Christian AND Gay? And what the Bible says.

It would seem you have a problem with Scripture and the messenger, hence the vehement reaction?

J.

I am on topic. I said yes and replied accordingly.
Don’t say I am off topic just because you didn’t like the response.

I will always stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.

And I will always pick up what falls, if I can’t catch it before it lands.

God loves them. Even if you can’t. Sinner or Saint, it all belongs to God. And I will fight for what’s right. Come hell or high water. I will let none of these little ones be lost.

That is what it means to be Christ like. Holy Spirit lead. To pursue the wellbeing of another. Rather than their doom.

A gay person can be saved as much as any sinner. And all men are sinners. But I will not shame them, ridicule them, or tell them they are any less loved. I will not force myself on them and tell them that they need to stop smoking, drinking, gambling, cursing, working on Sunday, lying, cheating, stealing, or having premarital sex, or to stop having sex with the same gender. No one is shaming me for my sins. So why would I demand them to change. The Battle belongs to the Lord. And He can decide where to focus on today

Meanwhile I will focus on my own sins today. And keep the peace.

So let us settle it.
You say yes.
Scripture says no.
Who should I fear
Your opinion or the voice that split Sinai, raised Christ, and will judge the secrets of men by Paul’s gospel
Romans 3 verse 4 says Let God be true though every man be found a liar
So tell me friend
When the scrolls are unsealed and the Lamb opens the books
Whose word will stand?

God bless.

J.

I will wait for an interpretation and motivation guided by God. Not a desire to destroy life.

God Bless.

Brother, I am only trying to help you to see the log that is blocking your clarity. Let someone else deal with their splinter.

And I would rather be dealing with my own splinter, but people are being hurt. So…
