Not All Christians Are Homo-Haters

[OffensivelyOpenMinded]

Christianity in its pure form is all about respect for each other and helping out the destitute. Wealth has no place in gods eyes.

No it is not all about that. That is a false doctrine called the "Social Gospel".

Well I am glad I have always accepted Jesus. The rest of the world means little without him.

I'm glad you haven't rejected God entirely and retain Him in your knowledge, even if your doctrine is biblically unsound.

That means you still have time to get right. I pray that you do.

A false doctrine is to believe that unregulated capitalism is close to godliness.

I don't believe that. I do believe that less regulations on economic matters is the best system we can hope for. But godliness?

I don't know any church that preaches that false doctrine either, but I know of plenty that preach the false doctrine you follow.

A secular agnostic like me shouldn't have to point out that being a Christian and believing homosexuality is sin doesn't automatically mean you hate people.

Jumps in logic like that shouldn't ever be taken seriously.

ADDENDUM: Conversely, God does not hate homosexuals.

What false about my of my church?

It doesn't automatically mean you hate them, it's not biblically wrong to hate homosexuals either.

It is wrong to hate people.

It is not wrong to believe certain behavior is sinful.

There is a stark difference there.

I've been pointing it out all day now(I can't believe I've been on here this long... This site is addictive!), if you don't get it by now, I can't help you.

You should go and grab you a KJV bible and commit to reading it cover to cover within a year, of course you have to take time to study it. That's better than me telling you. Pray for God to make things clear every time you read it. I hope the best for you.

I was lucky to find a church that teaches the WHOLE bible, in context...that doesn't cherry pick verses and quote them out of context. Here's hoping Nosmo and Init4me find one.

In Jesus's name. Amen.

You didn't "find a church". You found a click, a cabal of narrow minded bigots who seek to twist a beautiful, loving and forgiving faith to serve as a moral aegis behind which you spew hatred against the children of God.

Yours is a shameful, cowardly, bitter, hate filled belief without context, without love and without the forgiveness that is God.

I pity your ignorance.

I can run circles around you in regards to understanding and conveying the scriptures. You're the ignorant one.

Hopefully you leave your apostate church.

Yeah. You're a theological Dynamo. You know nothing about the loving, forgiving and beautiful faith.

You are under the false impression God doesn't hate as well as love, well let me fix that problem for you right now:

1. God loves
   1. (John 3:16) - "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."
   2. (Rom. 5:8) - "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
   3. (1 John 4:7-8,16)- "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love...16God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God... "
2. God hates
   1. (Psalm 5:5) - "The boastful shall not stand before Thine eyes; Thou dost hate all who do iniquity."
   2. (Psalm 11:5) - "The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates."
   3. (Proverbs 6:16-19) - "There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil, 19A false witness who utters lies, and one who spreads strife among brothers."
   4. (Hosea 9:15) - "All their evil is at Gilgal; indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels."

God both loves and hates. His nature is love (1 John 4:8), but He is also righteous (Psalm 7:9) and holy (Isaiah 6:3). The very fact that He does not incinerate all of humanity for its sin against Him is due to his loving kindness. God doesn't owe anyone anything. We are sinners and as such, we have offended Him because we have broken His laws -- and His laws are a reflection of His character. But, God in His great mercy, sent His Son to die for our sins so that we might have eternal life by receiving Christ as Savior (John 1:12; Rom. 10:9-10).

Does God hate? Yes. Does God love? Yes. This is not a contradiction. This is simply the truth."

And when you meet your maker and place on the scales your hatred of your fellow man in service to your god, be aware that the Lord weighs the sins of the warm hearted and the cold blooded in different scales.

Being a billionaire is biblically wrong as well.

No, it is not wrong to hate people biblically, certain people deserve to be hated because they are enemies of God.

And? There's a time to hate, and a time to love...is there not? I would say I'm balanced between them. We are just talking about a controversial topic so I am presenting a side you obviously ignore.

You can't bring someone to god who is already there.

Now I am an abortion advocate. No, I am pro life even part birth. Unlike your ilk, I believe in taxpayer funded help for the child after it is born.

I don't believe you.

Being a billionaire is biblically wrong as well.

Where does it say that in the bible?

And please don't quote the story about Jesus and the wealthy young man out of context again...it condemns greed, not wealth.

Being patriotic cannot coincide with Christianity.

To the informed Bible Believer: God does condone hatred for haters of God and God doesn't condone sin.

Fixed it for you.
