Why are you condemning him for his opinion? That's pretty ignorant. Christians don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle; you act as if that's news? |
i know enough christians who do

There is a difference between being accepting and loving people (which is what Jesus taught and what Christians should strive for) and agreeing with it.
|
If you say being a homosexual is a sin, then you're not accepting and loving and therefore it could be argued that you aren't a good Christian. I would also argue that accepting and loving someone is the same as "agreeing" with him. Agreeing doesn't mean you yourself have to do the same things homosexuals do. It just means that you understand that not everyone prefers the same gender as you do.

Do you even understand what a Christian is?
A Christian takes certain stands against certain acts and lifestyles. You can accept and love someone, but still know what they do is sin. If you cannot understand that concept, then I don't think you understand Christianity at all.

There's a huge difference between considering something a sin and expressing your opinion in a way that affects other people. As a Christian I strongly disapprove of people who cheat on their partners and of people who desire other people's wives/husbands/gfs/bfs, but I don't go around calling them sinners, though they do sin. If they were to ask me, I'd tell them that yes, it is a sin, but it's none of my business or place to tell them what to do.
Also, by telling gay people that you don't like their lifestyle is more similar to telling black people that you don't approve of their "blackness" than telling cheaters that they sin when they're cheating, as being gay is not a choice.

I agree with your post except for the bold. It's not comparable to skin color at all. To have the sexual desires of homosexuality is not a choice, correct, but that's not the question here. The question is whether to act upon those desires or not (the "lifestyle") and that's up to a person's choice, no matter how unfair one may think it is.

Oh, I agree with you (bolded). It's really not the same. Not the best example, but I still think it's a quite comparable. Maybe a better example would be if say you were attracted to thin girls, but that was a sin and according to the bible you were only allowed to date, marry and sleep with obese girls. You have literally no attraction to obese girls and the society keeps telling you that slim girls are bad. It just makes no sense in your head, as you're supposed to either spend your entire life alone or marry an obese girl who won't even give you an erection (how are you supposed to have sex or even fall in love of you don't find someone attractive). And then they tell you that it's your choice and that they have no problem with you being into slim girls, but they do consider you dating gilrs sinful.
Btw, no offence to obese people. I'm just trying to give a better example and don't suggest that obese girls are unattractive, just not attractive to certain guys (same with skinny girls I guess).
Does this make more sense?
