Does God love Homosexuals Too?

[Eukaryote]

Can you tell me how it came about?- this random mutation.

Considering I'm not a geneticist or a student of biology, no. Though there is also the theory that a lack of hormones (most noteably testorterone) developed in the womb cause it. As far as I know it's not fully understood what causes it. However there has been no reputable study performed to show it is a choice.

And does being a random mutation qualify it for being ok? Do we just get on with it and go with the flow?

Do homosexuals harm anyone? No? Well then I don't see what the problem is.

Do you mean the act? Does it harm anyone? Well obviously some would say yes. I always wonder where homosexuality and paeodophilia merge OR if in fact they do. My point is this. A male who finds other males attractive - do they find "young" males attractive? If some homosexual males DO find pre-teen males attractive, then yes, I think homosexuality does harm people. Paedophilia is taboo in most cultures.

It's all abhorrent behavior. It's a mental and physical delinquency of God's creation.

Wouldn't a truly loving god accept his children the way he made them?

Jesus equals love. Jesus gave us the perfect definition of Love in his Holy Word..and as a Child of God it is something we continue to strive for.... Love is patient....love is kind.... in this definition the following lines stand out from a worldly love.. ...

Love does not delight in evil and Love is not self-seeking... If we are striving to please Jesus...we take no delight in homosexuality because Jesus told us it is unnatural and a abomination. That make it wicked and evil...the world with the influence of Satan is convincing itself that homosexuality is not wicked or evil...and people that believe otherwise are unloving and judgemental...it is so sad how Satan has perversed the Holy Word of Almighty God..and people believe it...

Jesus, the author of life, gave us life...we make ourselves...He gave us the Holy Spirit (Jesus) and the Holy Word to save us from his Wrath because of all the unGodliness. You decide to serve the Son of darkness or the Son of Light. You decide to glorify wickedness or righteousness. You choose eternal damnation or Eternal Life. ..Satan has done a wonderful job convincing people they don't need Jesus or his way or his truth or his life. A few will stand firm to the end.

As far as the animals showing homosexual behavior...Jesus sent some demons into some hogs...so obviously animals can be influenced by the demonic...That is why I annoint and pray over my animals.. I don't want that behavior around my sanctuary (home)

That is what so Great about God...he is so merciful...he doesn't strike sinners dead..he is patient and lets you choose your own destiny...but nobody can say he didn't warn and warn everyone..he even tells you the ending

They don't. The two are not the same or in any way similar. Don't try to conflate them because it's a laughable tactic.

My point is this. A male who finds other males attractive - do they find "young" males attractive? If some homosexual males DO find pre-teen males attractive, then yes, I think homosexuality does harm people. Paedophilia is taboo in most cultures.

Some heterosexual males find pre-teen females attractive. Does that mean heterosexuality harms people too? Some homosexuals =/= homosexuality. What you've described above is pederasty.

That is what so Great about God...he is so merciful...he doesn't strike sinners dead..he is patient and lets you choose your own destiny...but nobody can say he didn't warn and warn everyone..he even tells you the ending

But homosexuality is not a choice. One cannot simply choose to stop being homosexual no more than one can choose to stop being human.

As I've said above, there have been no reliable studies to show homosexuality is a choice. The individuals in question may repress their feelings (which brings with it a host of psychological problems) but we'll never really know how they cope with it as we cannot see into their minds.

this is not true, there are 1000's of stories of people who quit being homosexual, some very famous people included in those.

Very true Gator!

But...choice or not, it's still a sin. Wanna know how I know, because the Bible tells me so

But why would God punish someone for something they have no control over? Doesn't that seem cruel?

Nope, because we do have a choice. We are given the option to continue in our sins of the flesh or repent and seek the ways of the Lord. If we chose the later there are wonderful rewards for us. But too many of us enjoy the sin too much to ever even try to seek the Lord and the Truth. We use excuses like "But it's not my fault!", "I had no control!", "I had no other choice!" But the Truth is, we do have a choice, we do have control and it is our fault, because we chose not to seek the Lord's way.

Forgive me if I've picked you up wrong but do you take a similar stance to the Catholic Church? Where homosexuality in and of itself is not condemned but the act is.
