My Testimony...
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A Mormon. I believe that Homosexuality is wrong on all levels. Most Lesbians/Gays have no intention of ever getting married. Love's ultimate goal is in Marriage and to share what God has entrusted us with to bring his beloved children to earth by having a child. To use our emotions in ways to turn Gods will in another direction is wrong and a mockery to something sacred. YOU WILL NOT FIND WHAT YOU SEEK. Any other expression of this deepest feeling of love is wrong and I will not accept it and I will not tolerate it! It is wicked and corrupt! I know that wickedness never was happiness. Member of my church or not I know for a FACT that this is wrong.
If Gay is not wrong, Can you see Jesus being gay and accept it to be alright?!?!?!
I don't care how stupid I sound! I don't care how different I am! I don't care if I'm the last on earth to believe in God AND believe that Homosexuality is wrong! I make this into a big deal because it IS a big deal! I am sickened and offended when God is pushed away and that the REAL right is something other than what is it. THERE IS NO GREY! The line between Right and Wrong is THERE! and it is deffinate in every way. You can not believe in god and follow temptation. "You can not serve two masters"
Do I sound like a preacher? lol!! Preacher or not these words come from my heart! and I will not take them back.

Quote: Most Lesbians/Gays have no intention of ever getting married. And you know many who say this, do you? Actually, most of the same-sex partnerships I know are indeed deeply committed and would be married if the laws where they lived allowed it. Listen, I entirely sympathize with you. I too believe that God created men and women for good reasons and that homosexual unions go against His plan. However, we need to be careful how we speak of people who are homosexual. They are still our brothers and sisters and they are dealing with something we can't even imagine. Most of them are not trying to do wrong; they are simply led by mis-directed instincts and the doctrines of men. Railing against them and their "wickedness" will not make them feel God's love; it will only make them feel that church is not the place for them. 1 Corinthians 13: 1 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal." We need to perfect the language to gently tell people where we stand and to stand up for our beliefs while making sure they feel our love-- and, more importantly, God's love.

I don't think she meant it as an attack on anybody, but more like she saw this as a good place to vent when the whole world seems to be saying you're a judgmental ignorant self-righteous jerkwad for believing that homosexuality isn't part of God's plan.
And not based on how you treat those struggling with homosexuality, but simply because you believe it's wrong. If that's the case here, I can empathize.

i agree with you, about the man and woman made to be together stuff. but i also love gay/bi/les people and the ones are typically together for a long time and it takes a really big thing to dislodge them from their love of each other. i understand your opinion, but you could've come on in a less "attacking-like" style.

I completely understand the need to vent. People can be so frustrating. I respectfully asked someone to change something in their sig that bothered me (they were taking the Lord's name in vain) and got a load of sarcasm and condescension that they would never dream of directing at a gay person or someone from one of the other "protected" groups. Sometimes it seems like Christians are the last people left that it's "okay" to be prejudiced against.

I agree with everyone. Homosexuality is wrong and not part of God's plan but we should accept people for who they are. And yes, people are extremely dumb sometimes and can be REALLY rude. But I guess we should just turn the other cheek, and say, "This is the way I am. You are the way you are. And we can be different because it's okay." And I'd agree with the attacking people is a bad thing. It may make people feel like the Mormons don't want them which is definitely not true and I'm sure many would agree. But pineapple was just trying to vent her feelings. I know because she's one of my best friends! 3nodding

pineapplepony10, I completely agree with you. I think homosexuality is disgusting and wrong. I also think it is interesting how homosexual people rail against anyone who voices their Christian oppinion on the matter, then tell us that it's wrong for us to bash them about their oppinions. There is also the matter of Soddom and Gomorra (I know I spelled it WAY wrong) which gives yet another reason to be angry about Homos.
Note: I'm not bashing any one particular person, but simply the lifestyle.

I think it's important to point out that we can't judge anyone for their life choices.
Yes, I believe acting on homosexuality is wrong.
But I also believe that no one can really know the hearts of the individual people who make that choice, no one can judge them ,-except for the Lord.
It's really hard to remember sometimes that we are all sinners. We may see the sins of another and be disgusted or horrified, and we justify being judgmental of that person by saying things like
"I would never do something like that." But we can't know what that person has been through, and what brought them to that state. We all have our trials, and we all goof them up royally at some point or another, and we all suffer because of our actions.
We, as people, are too complex, too dynamic, and too lost to have any right to judge one other.
All we can do is improve ourselves daily based on the knowledge we've been given, and continue to learn to love each other when we're all so human.

That is a very good way to put it. Thanks for voicing what I couldn't figure out how to say.

I think it's a bit repetitive now but I also would have to agree upon everything already mentioned.
