my sister is a lesbian so i am all for it, i mean i accept her for who she is and i love her girlfriend like my own sister. i dont see how it matters if a girl/guy loves another girl/guy. i think its their rights as humans to love whoever they want to. and if they want to get married they should be able to. what are your thoughts on the matter?

I am a Christian, and thus I accepted the fact that I'm not in charge of the rules. Thus when G-d says that homosexuality is wrong, I accept it. I'm not G-d. Only G-d is G-d. I don't have a choice in the matter.

i accept the fact that you are christian and have nothing against your religion or think that your religion is wrong in anyway but honestly its the 21st centry, things have changed since the bible was written. if people want to be against it thats their choice however i can not stand when i see the people on the corner holding the signs ridiculing/slandering the lbgtq comunity. doesnt the bible also say that g-d will accept all who want to be accepted or something along those lines?? isnt that sort of hipicritical? my sister may be into girls but she still goes to church and believes very strongly in g-d and all that. its not like she catches on fire when she goes through church doors. its not evil of her, its just her life choice and i just dont see how thats wrong or how g-d would turn her away for that.

That's ok. You asked me what I thought. You asked the question. I answered it. Yes, my body will rot in a hole in the ground, sure. But there is more to us than physical material. We are also spirit, and my spirit will go to the Lord. Ecclesiastes 12:7 "and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it." Further, the suffering, and injustice of this world is temporary. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." Everything that you see as injustice today, will be judged by almighty G-d in eternity. No one will escape the coming wrath. But also no one will escape the coming rewards for those who follow him. But make no mistake, we all going to judgement, whether you believe it or not. Sin is fun in the short term, and no G-d doesn't strike you down for being homosexual in some divine punishment. He's giving all of us time, time to repent and fix our ways. Hebrews 9:27 "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment" Just because G-d has not punished you for sin, today, does not mean you will escape the punishment to come, and that goes for your sister and myself as well. That's the good news, that if we repent: 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." However... honesty id probably throw my middle fingers in the air and tell him to go f**k himself. I have good news for you too. G-d will not force you to believe in him, or obey him. He will not force you to accept forgiveness and change your ways. He has granted you the ability to choose Him, or choose to be without Him. To live without G-d, is to live in Hell. Hell is the place where G-d is not, and you can go there if that's the choice you make. But there is no other option. Like being stranded on a boat in the ocean. When you are stranded, you have two options... in the boat... or in the water. You can't reject the boat, and yet stay dry. Similarly, after this life, on this world, there will only be two places to be. With G-d in Heaven, or without G-d in Hell. He won't force you to be with Him, and live in paradise. So it's up to you to choose Him, or.... Revelation 14:11 “the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever and they have no rest day and night” I'm not angry with you. I'm not mad. I don't wish anything bad to happen to anyone. I'm just saying the message. It's up to you to accept or reject it. I hope you choose wisely. Best to you.
