Does God love Homosexuals Too?

[Mom2Many]

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.

Oh no, no, no. Homosexuality is a sin! I said that in my previous post.

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.

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.

Of course child sex of any form is wrong. I am not in error when I talk about male homosexuality and paedophilia lines becoming blurred, because the fact of the matter is IT DOES become blurred.

There are MANY cases where male homosexuals have made a CHOICE to refrain from that kind of behaviour.

I wonder what kind of thoughts were going through the adult mens minds when they would look at my son before he became a teenager(very good looking boy.)? I'm pretty sure the thoughts were of sexual interest. This makes it paedophile in nature.

And what about straight men who molest young girls? Are they not as equally deserving of condemnation?

The line between homosexuality and paedophilia is no more blurred than the line between heterosexuality and paedophilia. They are completely different things.

There are MANY cases where male homosexuals have made a CHOICE to refrain from that kind of behaviour.

And I'm sure there have been many cases where male heterosexuals have chosen to refrain from molesting young children (both male and female). Is there a point to all this?

The point I see in this is it's a CHOICE, not something beyond our control like many would like us to believe.

One can choose to molest children or not to, which we have established. One cannot choose to be homosexual. The two are not related.

Okay. I suppose I'm going to have to be a little tactless and just say it: do you believe, based on what you have said, that homosexuality is a choice?

You do know that animals can be homosexual as well. Is that the result of The Fall? Is Satan trying to send critters to animal hell???

Trust me, you don't want to go down the whole argument from nature road.

No Homosexuality is a sin and God specifically calls it an abomination, something He detests.

Yes it is a choice. God calls us to repent from sin and He lists homosexuality as a sin. There is a choice involved in every sin.

Common sense would suggest otherwise.

Why would anyone choose to be homosexual, considering the persecution that has come with it throughout history.

[Guest shiloh357]

God didn't make man homosexual. That is a perversion of sexuality that was brought about by the Fall through sin.

Then we are left with the question of how it originated.

It's a twist(perversion) of what God made for man/woman.(natural sex). The "twist" originates with satan himself. That is how he operates.

You do know that animals can be homosexual as well. Is that the result of The Fall? Is Satan trying to send critters to animal hell???

That is patently absurd. Animals do not engage in homosexual sex. Most animal behavior specialists explain what we see as an act of declaring domination, not sex. Please....

Bad consequences do not stop people from putting their lives at risk in a variety of ways. The threat of bad consequences does not stop people from stealing, murdering committing adultery, participating in child pornography, and other lewd things.

The fact is man chooses sin because man is sinful. It is his nature to sin and do irrational things things that endanger his life and well-being.
