the above words were taken from oiseworld's post in the thread "what did pope francis really say". i'll like to know how true the above is, the arguements to support it and contrary opinions.

i dont think so gays like every other erring child can stil repent while they have the chance on earth

the only sin that cannot be foegiven is the sin or BLASPHEMY against the HOLYSPIRIT, it is sin unto death

People will say anything, no matter how crazy, just to attack the Church.

Jesus died and resurrected for thieves, the greedy, fornicators, liars, gays, psycopaths, adulterers...etc. Their are 'gays' who are children of God: They do not call God a liar by justifying or rationalizing their 'gayness' ; they live their lives depending on the grace of God to overcome their gay tendencies. Some are now married with children and are doing well for God and society.

Though I do not agree with the RCC as an institution, I find it incredible the way the Pope's comment is been misundertood.

Going by prophesy, the gay movement will eventually have its way worldwide; but we have a sacred responsibility to tell the truth and expose falsehood without fear- till the end.

You can read the interview of an ex-gay here: narth.com/docs/opp.html

I do not know why there is so much noise about this really. The church and the Pope continue to see any sexual acts outside the marriage institution as a sin for those who believe in her teachings, whether you are gay or straight.

You are gay when you feel sexually attracted to same sex, you are straight when you feel sexually attracted to opposite sex. These in itself are not sinful, the earlier is only termed to be a disorder while the later is in order.

I wonder why the pope will judge a person who sees himself as gay;but seeks the lord and does not have sexual acts outside marriage...which of course the church will not grant him.

Though being straight is in order, it is still considered a grave sin to have sexual acts outside marriage, as recognized by the church. This is called fornication and adultery.

I'M WAITING FOR OISEWORLD,HE IS D REASON FOR THE THREAD, IF ANYONE CAN FIND HIM PLS INVITE HIM HERE. I'LL WANT TO KNOW HOW HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT GAYS CAN'T BE BORN AGAIN
