I'm not a homosexual or anything, but there are topics on the life issues section of Gaia that are..confusing me. To put it best.
I am a Christian, and I know homosexuality is wrong, but there are some people that think its ok to be a christian and be gay. I feel that this isn't right..I dont' know how to address the problem that someone posted about how they think they're gay but they want to be a Christian.
Someone replied saying that they were lesbian and a Christian, how they had fought the urge to like girls for year. Finnally accepted that they were gay, and are happy.
Thoughts? Not sure if this is in the right place.

Yes it is wrong
but technically they can still be a Christian if you think about it
if you accept jesus as lord and savior all your sins are forgiven from the past and the future but does that mean it's ok to sin because you know you'll be forgiven anyway
It's best to work on your sins instead of just accepting them as a part of who you are I know it's difficult to keep fighting but You just have to keep at it

well, technically a person can't be homosexual and christian at the same time. Well, I'm sure they can accept Christ and love him - but they're not going to heaven. It says so in 1 Corinthians 6:9
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be misled: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor perverts, nor homosexuals . . ."

AKA - they won't go to heaven unless they ask for forgiveness and stop.

But we're not arguing, or debating, we're giving advice. And you're not a Christian, so of course the bible is not valid to you. But we are discussing CHRISTIANS, to whom the Bible IS a valid source. That's all I was saying. Nothing more. Not arguing, not trying to start an argument over whether you think it's credible or not. We are discussing Christians here, so. Just calm down, because to us the Bible says so is a perfectly valid reason not to be gay. So. Advice, no more arguing.

First of all, I was baptized Catholic and there was a time when I did think the Bible was a valid source. Me being a Christian or not holds no weight in the advice I give. Giving good advice will get a person to start thinking. Good dialogue can be very helpful and I am hurt you would even try to shut that down.

I agree with you and I apologize if I gave off the wrong impression. I wasn not trying to stop you giving advice in any way - merely to stop an argument on whether or not the Bible was a valid source, as it didn't have much to do with the advice giving. You may use whatever source you believe is vaild, and give what ever advice you believe is necessary - I enjoy hearing other people's thoughts. I just thought where the argument was going was a tad ridiculous and didn't wish for it to continue. ad I didn't know you were Catholic - I'll keep that in mind in the future. again, I'm sorry.

I've been removed from a several churches (first time was something about being Jewish) Anyways, no worries. Sometimes arguments can be constructive. I would be curious as to what Merlin Stone would say on the subject

I've been removed from other places for different things. One time I was asked to leave a youth group for arguing a view outside the Bible. Another time for not participation in prayer (not that I was being disruptive, they didn't even notice untill they finished) Merlin Stone wrote "When God was a woman" I have yet to read any of her work but my ASO is looking to ask her to come speak for woman’s history month at our College
