Christians why do you dislike homosexuals so much?

Because Morals are the undergirding principles concerning right and wrong that help guide a person's beliefs and actions. Therefore, actions are the result of what we believe. If a person considers lying to be morally wrong, he will either not do it or try to avoid doing it. If a person believes lying is okay, then he will be far more prone to deceive people.

Furthermore, we believe morals in sets. No moral is independent of other morals because our morals come in packages that frame our worldview. To change our morals is to change our worldview. To change our worldview is to affect society whether it be families, commerce, business, or anything else moral worldviews affect. Therefore, we have to ask, when a society becomes sexually permissive, doesn't this mean that other areas of sexuality will also be affected? Of course it does.

The moral boundaries have been pushed outward in the past few decades enough so that previous sexual taboos are now promoted in mainstream culture as being normal. A paradigm shift in morality has obviously been occurring for quite some time, and the cluster of sexually related issues and practices has also been affected.

Consider the following information-sample that documents the increase in harmful sexual practices due to the loosening of sexual boundaries that are no longer constrained by the bounds of traditional, heterosexual marriage.

Pedophilia

"Report: Online Pedophilia up 300 Percent. Security vendor Panda Software Thursday announced a 300 percent increase in calls reporting online child pornography over the last three years."1

Pornography

"There are an estimated 4.2 million pornographic websites, 420 million pornographic pages, 68 million pornographic search engine requests daily, 42.7% of internet users view porn, 100,000 sites offering illegal child pornography, average age of first internet exposure to porn is 11 years old, 10% of adults admit to internet sexual addition, 72% of males and 28% females visit porn sites. There were 1300 hard core porn titles released in 1988 and 13,588 released in 2005."2

Cable and Satellite companies routinely provide pornographic options to view and there are entire channels devoted to hard core porn.

"According to pastors, the 8 top sexual issues damaging to their congregation are: 57% pornography addiction, 34% sexually active never-married adults, 30% adultery of married adults, 28% sexually active teenagers, 16% sexual dissatisfaction, 14% unwed pregnancy, 13% sexually active previously married adults, and 9% sexual abuse.

My father is a Baptist pastor, and so I have grown up all of my life being taught a certain way. However I'm a very independent individual and I've formed my own beliefs, but I do have an understanding of their lifestyle. I wouldn't categorize christians as a whole, because there are a big group of more liberal Christians that don't have a problem with homosexuality.

I think the reason more conservative Christians (like my father) have an issue with homosexuality is really due to their own ignorance. Most of them also grew up from a young age learning certain values and beliefs, one of them being that homosexuality is a sin. They don't allow themselves to be open minded or even look into scripture to interpret it any other way. They are stubborn and set in what they were told.

I think one of the major faults of my father's generation is their inability of an open mind. They refuse to change or look at things in a different way. So no matter what I have said to my father, it's like he doesn't truly hear what I am saying. He will never change his views.

I'm thankful that in my generation I have been gifted with thinking for myself, as opposed to just believing what's being told. Although I have been told that homosexuality is wrong my entire life, I look and see in the world that love is love. There is nothing corrupt about two people loving each other, regardless of gender.

So don't lose hope, because I feel that with each generation, true love and acceptance will be more prevalent :)

I've always thought the whole 'hate the sin, love the sinner' to be a steaming heap of nonsense. Seriously, how can you tell someone that you utterly despise an intrinsic and central part of who they are, but still somehow insist that you love them?

Not that it really matters, because 'hate the sin, loathe the sinner' is what tends to be practiced in reality.

My friend my cousin was gay. We did not treat him any different then anybody else. no we did not approve of his life style. And we let him know so but that does not mean we were purposely mean to him. i am never mean to someone who is gay. I believe as i have been taught to love the sinner but as God does hate the sin. Thanks for the question my friend. God bless.

We don't hate homosexuals we disapprove of it but love them as Jesus does.

Firstly, I don't know many real Christians that hate anything or anyone...Sorry that you misunderstand the difference....Secondly, did it ever occur to you that we are hated and ridiculed by others? NO, I'm sure it didn't...For instance, did it ever occur to you that YOU come off like you hate Christians..

Not all homosexuality is Genetics...Much of it stems from repressed abuse that many children had being approached by relatives, family members and friends...This can be all one needs to turn them out....True, some of this is genetically induced but you have to ask yourself firstly, was the father image in the home and was the Father close to the child? We find many Mothers raisings their Sons and without the mature Father image and efforts in the home many many sons are being raised with feminine attributes and mannerisms ....Hence, gay ! You can argue this until you're blue but it's a known factor that haunts many a gay Sons.

Are you referring to all Christians ?

Your words aren't good, OK?

Don't run about blaming others for what you're doing, OK?

You're right, it's not a choice but it's not born with, either.

It's like a set-up. So many reasons: some broken families, some sex abuse

when young, definitely meeting other HS young people when young.

Never think you are made of stone. You are very flexible, adaptable when

young. So, no you don't sit and think 'I want to be an HS'...of course not.

But you are usually seduced, and yes, then it's like a disease

which spreads.

That's not meant to put you down.

I studied the Malaria virus...and it's scary....and it relates spiritually

to people.

(I'll let you think on that one).

It is a heavy addiction, or lust, and it will often ruin people as they age.

Jesus healed many HS people, but the word for it was surpressed,

know why that is?

Well, King James...you know? He was often called Queen James,

so these words suppressed, hidden.

Jesus can heal that, but you gotta want to be healed.

Without your wish for it, then you aren't with that thing.

I am going to step out here...I'm going to say to you that I don't

think this is the right thing for you. I don't say that to all HS.

I have never said it before. But I don't think it's for you.

Think on it.

I as a Christian don't hate gays. Jesus taught people to love one another. I just don't support them because i don't support sin. But I'll leave the judging up to God

Oh homosexuality is not a choice you say? Oh really?So they are being forced to remove their clothes and being forced into homosexual behavior? I don't think so.
