If you are a Christian as you claim, would you be willing to preach the Gospel to the sodomites and encourage them to turn from their evil lifestyle? If you do preach this, wouldn't you be labelled as bigoted, intolerant and hate filled? Ironically these are the same words you used in this thread to malign conservative, Bible-believing Christians.
You have been talking about showing love to the sodomites and not being judgemental of them. Unfortunately you have demonstrated the contrary with your posts addressed to people who oppose the sodomite hatred of God.

First the statement about being against the law is a fact.
The other statements were in regard as to what a rejected homosexual would be thinking about Christians upon encountering someone like yourself who sees them as sub-human and inferior. This is problem, homosexuals are not the only sinners, but they are treated like evil creatures and not humans who need to be loved and cared for.
If you read my posts properly you would have read many times that I said that it would be better if we were nice to homosexuals so we can engage with them and end up sharing the Gospel. Preaching directly against Homosexuals is not going to work, that will just throw up barriers.
We do not need to tell homosexuals they are sinners for being homosexual, that will automatically make them walk out. We instead tell them we love them, Jesus loves them and wants to know them, regardless of their sexual lifestyle. As to if they continue with sexual conduct , thats between them and God to sort out.
I am simply pointing out that the so called Conservative Christians are bigots. I do not like the idea of homosexual marriage, I do not like the idea of homosexuals, but I have learned beating them over the head with "God hates fags" is not going to work, there already is a huge mistrust and resentment, its time to break those barriers down and show homosexuals that God really does love them and wants them saved.
This is not the middle ages anymore where a preacher could recruit people from a fire and brimstone preach and bash.
