God is very clear about how He feels about homosexuality.
Yeah, it's an abomination. As is shellfish, working on Saturday, shaving, and a slew of other things.
Sodom and Gomorrah are a serious warning to us all.
Yes. Inhospitality is a grave sin, as is demanding someone cast their guests out so you can gang rape and kill them. However, offering your daughters up for a similar fate is A-OK. Oh, that's not what you meant, is it?
Can I be friends? No. I cannot look the other way and stay silent while my friend is on the path to hell.
I doubt you could keep silent if your life depended on it, but that's beside the point...
No gay will tolerate a "friend" who tells them they need to repent or burn for eternity.
Precisely. People tend to not like being preached at endlessly. Somehow I think you'd have an aversion to someone trying to convert you endlessly to Islam...same principle applies.
I have gay family members who will not speak to me.
The pride I feel in this line makes me sad and ill.
For gays, the price of friendship is: ACCEPTANCE of their sin.
No, the price of our friendship is minding your own bisiness. You don't have to accept who I am, but I will not tolerate someone sanctimoniously pontificating how vile and hellbound I am.
I can have a working relationship with gays, but not a friendship. If I cared for them at all, I could not stay silent.
It's not out of care. Do not insult me by pretending that it's out of anything resembling benevolence. It's an excuse to beat your bible and show the world how a real Christian deals with homosexuals.
If I spoke and they refused to even acknowledge what I said, I would have to break fellowship with them.
If you spoke half of what I've seen you say, you wouldn't get a chance to break fellowship with me, because I'd be long gone by that point.
I cannot accept gay marriage.
Fine. Don't get one.
I believe gay adoption is child abuse.
I believe leaving those kids in a parentless limbo is a far worse fate than having two dads could ever aspire to be.
Look at that verse again and change the word gay with thief, swindler, fornicator. Could I be friends with one of those? No.
Just like Jesus, eh? He had no time to deal with any damned sinners...
Neither could I be a friend with gays.
Oh darn.
Take the question a step further. Can you accept unrepentant gays in your church, teaching Sunday school?
Of course. Just because they're gay doesn't mean they'd do any better or worse job than a straight person would. Gay does not mean child molester, for the fifteen BILLIONTH time.
Beloved, do NOT let politically correct culture deceive you. The homosexual agenda is a cancer in any society.
A "cancer" that does nothing more than exist. The only reason we cause any problems is because people like you make them up. Our EXISTENCE is problematic to you. So who is the real cancer?
If you love a friend, can you be silent?
If his behavior isn't harmful to himself or others...yes.
