What are your thoughts of homosexuals and there place in Religion and Jesus Christ??Are you supposed to still love them anyway??Is it a fact that if you turn away a homosexual from Christ that you dooming them to hell, or are they already doomed?Does Jesus's blood that was shead on Calvary forgive a homosexual??What do you do when one of the leaders in the church are Gay??

hey all~
i'm not going to comment on all of ur questions, but one or two i will.
the Christian Holy Bible teaches that we are to LOVE, uncoditionally. Jesus Christ ALWAYS meet the sinner where they we're. HE didn't make them change before he accepted them. NO HE LOVED them just as they we're. So I think it is wrong to hate someone due to things you may have issues with or what you may or may not think the Bible condems. We should 'love the sinner not hte sin'
The Bible also says that the 'Blood of Christ' covers all of our sin....so yes there is forgivness for everything!

p.s.
I am a Christian, and personally am undecided with my views on homosexuality, Im straight...an i tend to think that homosexuals are at least to some extent mis guided....but thats my 'personal' take....i haven't studied the specific issue in the Bible

Love them anyway...anyway? What is wrong with them? Are they bad people?
I don't believe so. Biblical scholars very much disagree on whether the Bible actually does address homosexuality, and more specifically, what it even says on the topic. I don't believe homosexuality is a sin, and many pastors and priests of various churches feel the same way.
Does God love gay people? Even if it was a sin, God would still love them. God loves all people, and he welcomes all people to the church, to love Him, and to serve Him.
