What's Love Got To Do With It?

Excerpt:

Also, an earlier post:

The Homosexual Agenda

What do you think about the idea that heterosexuals are to blame for the breakdown of marriage and relationships? Essentially, he's saying that the same emotions or lusts that lead a homosexual couple to want to marry because they "love one another" would lead a married couple to divorce because they "fall out of love." In both cases, emotional decisions lead to sin.

This is why, for the most part, I try and stay out of the whole, "Should homosexuals have the right to marry?" debate. Most of these so called religious people and "christians" seem to be seriously blinded and hypocritical when they talk about this subject. At least that's the conclusion I come to from talking to people, and from reading etc.,

The argument that I usually hear, is that homosexuality is a sin, and an abomination before God, but when they're confronted with other issues in the bible, that are clearly laid out as sin, they excuse it away. Which just makes it seems like they just pick and choose what they want to obey, and they really have hatred towards the sinner (homosexuality) and use the bible to hide behind, or to justify their hatred.

When two couples are living together in fornication, not married, and have a child together, what do they say? "Oh, at least the father is in the child's life"

When they get an abortion? "She was too young to have a child, and it was a mistake."

When they commit adultery, and "steal" away someone's spouse? "That other man she was married to was no good for her anyway, and she didn't love him anymore, this one is much better for her."

When they lie? "Oh it's only a small lie, that won't hurt anybody."

Why is it, that some (most) feel that they can just explain away the bible and it's commandments, I'm constantly told over and over again, that we can't overcome sin, that we have to sin, we're human, that God put us on this earth to live life, and we have a right to life, yada yada, but when it comes to homosexuals, they are to forsake that sin, and leave it alone, to fight it, to overcome, and change?

Seems pretty hypocritical to me. No wonder that a lot of those who are gay, simply ignore a lot of what they say, and take it as "christian" ranting.

I hardly ever hear people talking about overcoming all sin, denying oneself, living a life for God, fighting carnality and sin, living a life of love and obedience, but I hear a plenty of homosexual bashing.

There's so much things in the bible that are to be preached, for and against, but the only thing they mainly focus on is how wrong being gay is. Because that sin don't hurt the majority of people, and you'll get a plenty of amens, but preach something that actually hurt people's flesh and you probably won't get too many new members...

Homosexuality is wrong, and is a sin, but so are a lot of other things in the bible.
