Now like I said in the rules no put downs we are all God's children. He makes everything Glorious and we are His so what does that makes us GLOURIOUS!!!!!!!!!!

Well the thing is most people believe that if you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender that God does not love you and you can not be religious, but that's not true. I'm a lesbian and very proud of it. I know of a few people in the guild that are my friends in real life and know that I go to church every week and I go to my Youth Group every week. They also know that I'm a lesbian and yet God has personaly called on me to spread His word. I'm even about to recieve the sacrament of the Holy Spirit through Conformation. My Youth Direcotr even knows and is totally okay with it. So please feel free to discuss.

the bible states that who ever believes that Jesus is the savior will go to heaven, so if you accepted Jesus then you can trust that God doesn't care about your sexuality. we all sin and we can't help it

yes but the wages of sin is death you saying that we sin and cant do anything about it is like you giving into sin. you have the choice to be bi les or gay if you choose to keep being like that then you are not truely saved. because you know that it is a sin yet you still are bi les or gay.

Okay I have also been taught being bi les or gay is not a sin. God made me that way and that is what I believe. Yes, I do show that I have accepted God into my life and Jesus as my savoir. You will often find me reading the bible at lunch and preaching God's word to everyone who passes and to anyone who stops and listens.

Where in the Bible does it say that it is not a sin?
PostPosted: Sun Mar 01, 2009 7:28 pm


i konw of one area that clearly states its a sin.. and in one area of the bible it also states "If you love me you will follow my comandments" i am not one who is against bi,lez, or gay.. im just lettingyou know from what i know.. it is said to accept them at all costs, if you are gay i will accept you, if you are a murderer i will accept you, but, you must repent for these things and follow in God's teachings.. i have heard this once b4 "Hell is for good people." being good isnt the only thing needed to enter heaven, you need to follow what it says in the bible too.

Romans 1:26-27 Okay let me get this out there: Being gay or Lez or Bi is just a big of a sin as Lying or hating or cussing and who here hasn't done that? I know I lie all the time and I'm pretty good at it and I'm proud of my talent. But God doesn't like it. He Hates It! (Proverbs 6:16-17)So, although I've been washed clean from head to toe, I need to wash my feet daily. Are you struggling with a sin that you love to do? or even just think about? Well, we live in a world where cussing is acceptable in PG movies, but all sin is sin in God's eye's whether it's acceptable in society or not. So if you have a problem with Gay People just remember that YOU are just as guilty, I am just as guilty as in God's eyes, No Man (or Woman) on earth is better(more holy) than another, but because of the Great Gift of Grace by Our Lord Jesus Christ we can come before the Lord clean, however there is a catch Jesus says, "Go and SIN NO MORE." That being said, I have some Gay friends, I have friends who lie and friends that cuss and fornicate. I like them, I just don't like what they do, but that's between them and God just as my sin is between me and HIM. The end. I'm shutting up now. . . .

1 Corinthians 6: 18-20, "Shun fornication! Every sin that a person commits is outside the body; but the fornicator sins against the body itself. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body."

Ephesians 4: 22-24, "You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness."

Ephesians 5: 3-7, "But fornication and impurity of any kind, or greed, must not even be mentioned among you, as is proper among saints. Entirely out of place is obscene, silly, and vulgar talk; but instead, let there be thanksgiving. Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure person, or one who is greedy (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be associated with them."

John 3: 3, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born anew."

Matthew 18: 3, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

"Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death....
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain."
-James 1:13-15..25-26


"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
-Leviticus 20:13

Well the thing is most people believe that if you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender that God does not love you and you can not be religious, but that's not true. I'm bisexual and very proud of it. I know of a few people in the guild that are my friends in real life and know that I go to church every week and I go to my Youth Group every week. They also know that I'm bisexual and yet God has personaly called on me to spread His word. I'm even about to recieve the sacrament of the Holy Spirit through Conformation. My Youth Pastor even knows and is totally okay with it. So please feel free to discuss.


You need to seriously get away from your youth pastor he is teaching you that sin is ok. No where does God tell us its ok. Why do you want to hurt Jesus by doing these sinful things. A believer in Christ would not want to do these things anymore and would try and flee away from them. Jesus tells us to repent of our sins so that they will be blotted out through His blood on the cross. Repent means to change, you can not sin and go ask for forgiveness and continue in that sin.

"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
-Matthew 5:19

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
-Matthew 7:21-23

What the Roman Catholic church teaches bothers me very much. The Pope is the mouthpiece of God? Isnt the Bible the mouthpiece of God? The Pope seems to be teaching people things that will make them happy and remain Catholic. I recommend you find your answers from the Bible not from some man who is your youth pastor or the pope. Jesus should be your guide. Amen

Also we do not receive the Holy Spirit through conformation, Gods spirit enters into each person He chooses.

Because your youth pastor is teaching you that being a lesbian is ok he is a false teacher. You will know them by their fruits. He is teaching that Jesus is lie by saying its ok to be a lez or bisexual. I am here because I love you and care for you. There is a difference from love and lust. Being a lesbian is lust because it means you sexually are involved with the same sex. God says we are not to be involved sexually with the same sex. We are to be male and female, one flesh, you choose one person of the opposite sex, and you remain with them for your days in this world. Actually God says its better to not have a marriage because are focus is on our wife or husband over Christ. But if we can not control ourselves it is better to marry than to burn. You read that in
1 Corinthians chapter 7.

I dearly care for you, we all do and that is why we are all here hoping you will turn from that sin.
