First of all terms 'Homophobic' and 'Homophobia' are usually improper used to begin with.

phobic [ˈfōbik] ADJECTIVE
having or involving an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something."she's phobic about spiders"

NOUN
a person with an extreme or irrational fear of or aversion to something."a snake phobic"

The terms should be anti gay prejudice, as in 'pre-judgement' or gay paranoid would be more appropriate. The terms Homophobic or Homophobia is not in the DSM 4 or 5. I will admit that I feared gays because I used to think of them as antisocial, militant, A.I.D.S. carriers. Jealous of and out to destroy normal straight people and society. Now that was phobic and I feared them. I have come to realize for the most part, I was wrong and my fears were unfounded. I don't think we should oppose homosexuality any more or less than common adulterers, fornicators, drunkards, liars or a very long list of other sinners. Let's not forget what we used to be.
Let's just thank the Lord that we were saved from all of those sins. Let's just spread the word that 'Jesus saves!'

I agree Homosexuality is sin, in need of repentance, just as all the sin you mentioned?

The dangerous reality is, society wants to push homosexuality as normal and accepted, (Wrong)

Sad to see those flying the rainbow flag, standing behind pulpits, proclaiming they are spokespersons for Jesus Christ

2 Peter 2:6KJV
6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

I agree and it is a sign of a society in decline. A 60's & 70's motto was "if it feels good, do it." Gained acceptance. Just like it did in ancient Greece and Rome not so long ago.

I'll try and find the right Bible verses, but just for the record, I confirm my allegiance to Christ as a Christian man of God, who is and always has been, and always will be, attracted to only women. I further agree with the statement of the United Methodist Church, even though my home church is the Orthodox Church, as a born-again Christian, that homosexuality is incompatible with Christianity. I have never been attracted to males and rejoice in being homophobic, and just because I lack resources, or even coffee money to go out on a date to find a girlfriend, does not mean I am not looking for her.

And just because I turned down a ladies offer to go to her room recently to play cards, does not count because even though I needed the money, I'm a devoted Christian, and want to build a relationship with a lady, over 45-ish, based on a loving attraction that could lead to marriage.

It's vital to obey the Lord in healthy relationships, without judging or hurting others. And to honor social boundaries (social distance/invitation) according to the Bible, socially acceptable norms (God given sacred social/geographic/spiritual parameters) parameters = not being in the presence of near the points of contact established by the social circles of others, or trespassing through media, phone texting, or other means of visible signs of being there. Except the occasional riding up on a horse at someone's wedding as a last ditch Hollywood stunt to give a lady an open window, which usually doesn't work, and isn't always safe, especially if the dude is rich and has lots of security guards.

Homosexuality goes against the natural purpose of God's creation. It promotes free thinking. It promotes disease. It breaks down family unit. It breaks down society. It divides nation's.
It opens the door to more vile practices that entertain the lust of the flesh.
It redefines the meaning of love.
The motto of it is love is love accept it. In short nothing is good about it.

God's word is very clear about this. Nation's are judged because of it.
But the judgement of God starts with his people . Judgement begins in the house of the Lord.
We as christians are watchmen for such things we are called to be salt and light to this world.
Seeking God's righteousness above all else.
The word of the Lord is a double edged sword. It can bring life...it can bring death.
For one may call upon the lord to be saved while another may reject the truth into a seared conscience and become reprobate.
These matters call for much prayer and fasting.
We should never water down the word of God yet if we approach such issues without love and concern we are at fault.
We are to deliver a message of hope and not judgement
"He who has a ear let him listen what the spirit has to say"

Oh my! Glad I missed that one. I don't know why people join sites, especially Christian ones and do something like that. Thanks for letting me know.

I agree that the words are inappropriate to begin with since they’re talking about abominable forms of fornication. As such, it’s better to avoid and not think about in the first place. Also, the word “gay” is already taken, and I only use it for its true meaning as found in old books from the 1800’s.

Jesus saves! Amen!

Guess I'm a Jesus worshiping Hindu then :rolleyes:
But what I don't understand is why are people so laser focused on just one thing that is stirred up by the flesh, there's a million other things stirred by the flesh and yet people don't go around and preach about it. Why the inconsistency? People need then to equally go around talking about stealing, cheating, lying, hatred, gossip... etc. Otherwise they're not preaching the full word of God just cherry picking only talking about stuff they personally don't do.

You know why? Cause people already AGREE stealing is wrong, but most people in Europe dont believe being gay is wrong. Thats why!

Thank you duskey for opening the door to this side of the equation.

If you are pro life and believe that a child is God given then what shall we do with the child?

Train up a child in the way he should go,
[a]And when he is old he will not depart from it.
