Since you claim to be familiar with the scriptures which is what being a christian would make you know then it should also change your inclination and turn you straight.

Someone asked a question above,in page 3 I think. He asked "can u be a serial killer and still be a christian? "Can u be a serial rapist and still be a christian? So therefore you cannot be gay and also be a christian".I think its too convenient of that poster to compare gays with serial killers and rapists. What about being an adulterer and still a christian? A fornicator and still a christian? A lier and still a christian?
We all have our own ways of offending God through sin.Homosexuality may be a sin but so also is adultery,fornication,lieing,stealing,envy etc. Yet a fornicator can call himself a christian and ask that a homosexual doesn't? Remove the log in your eye first before judging someone else.
Its just not easy to be a real christian and keep all God's commandments,its the willingness to keep trying that matters. We all need God's grace to act right.

I've never seen a religion being dominated by homosexuals like the Christain faith does. Christianity is evolving into a religion where homosexuality will be praised and won't be criticized rather it will be celebrated. The population of ladies that practice lesbianism in our country is on the rise and so mind boggling, not to talk about men that sleeps with themselves! In the next Five to Ten years to come, homosexuality will be glamorized in our country and be part of our culture. The indicies are too glaring!

No. U cnt serve two masters at a tym. Homosexuality is one of d devices of d devil to decieve man. Bt we r nt ignorant of d devices of d devil. Resist d devil nd he wil flee 4rm u. Pls dnt use d bible 2 justify sin. Homosexuality is a way dat seemeth right in d eyes of man bt d end thereof is destruction in hell.

masonkz: My journey of questioning Christianity as a gay person started a while back. Nowadays I don't really use being gay as a reason for not being a a "true Christian". Just too many inconsistencies I see in Christianity.

I'm better off being the best I can be in this world, putting a smile on people's faces I see each day and trying as much as possible to be a good person, to myself, family, friends and people I meet.
why Not look into the life of prophet muhammed if there are lots of inconsistencies in christiandiom....

The sacred text of Christianity contains texts that are explicitly against homo$€xuality so, it makes little sense and it is contradictory to be gay and Christian, though some people do pull it off.

'Love d sinner bt hate d sin'. This doesnt mean sinners should b allowed 2 continue in sin. It means we should try and bring d sinner out of that sin so his soul will b save from hell. Being a gay doesnt mean u cant come out of it cos have heard alot of testimonies on dat. Bt u choose 2 remain in it nd u r calling urself a christian. U cnt decieve God, devil nd urself, Even if u r using this thread 2 decieve men. Dnt follow other gays who have made up their mind to go to hell nd telling u cn b a gay nd christian at d same time. They jst wnt 2 decieve u. Pls ask God 4 help nd He will help u. It might nt b easy but u will surely come out of it.

"Once saved, forever save". This is a lie from the pit of hell. U have 2 work out your salvation wit fear and trembling or u wil lose it. So u cant tell me u are a gay and a christian at the same time. Once u are save, u dont go back 2 ur old lifestyle. D bible says wen u are a new creature, old tins are pass away, all tnz are new. Wen lot wife turn backd 2 her old self, pleasures of dis world, she was turnd 2 a pillar of salt. D fear of the Lord is the begining of wisdom.

i totally agree with you. Religion has always been nothing more than a tool for rulership, i have no use for it.

@Hez dis is just an advice, d bible said if ur right hand will cause u to sin, cut it off better to enter into d kingdom of God with a hand than to perish in hell with both hands; so if u hv convinced urself that u re gay(cos i dont blieve anyone ws really born gay), d best thing for u to do is to become celibate; if u cant do it wit d opposite sex(who is ur wife) dont engage in sex at all, as for callin urself a true xtian n decided of ur own accord to live in sin n b unrepentant abt it. U re jst fooling urself cos God can never b mocked. If u say u re strugglin wit d sin of homosexuality as a christian den dts fyn, most xtians re actually strugglin wit fornication bt they dont begin to claim is right, sitting down on ur ass n justifyin ur sin n being unrepentant abt it is a one way ticket to hell weda u call urself a xtian or not.

Ps: all d bible passages u need to decide for urself hv been qouted in dis thread, deciding to overlook or go arnd them will nt help u

And we are to believe that as u are so "saved", you dont ever go back to your old sins?

NO! Simple as that! The entirety of the Christian doctrine is designed to be anti-gay. I don't know about you, but if I were gay, I wouldn't go to a place that does not want me and whose members actively try to burn me at the stake.

Re: Can You Be A Christian And Still Be Gay? by Reptyle(m): 8:28am On Sep 03, 2013
You cannot choose to continue to be gay just like you cannot choose to continue in any other sin and call yourself a Christian. God causes his grace to abound for us in that while we were yet sinners, he showed us his love by sending his son Jesus the Christ to die for us. But like St Paul averred, we cannot choose to continue in sin just so that his grace will continue to abound.

Having freely received the gift of his salvation, God's Holy Spirit dwells in us both to will and to do according to his good purpose. (Phil 2 vs 12 - 13) if verse 12 urges us to "...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling..." why then do you reckon that you can remain in sin (in this case homosexualism) and call yourself a true Christian?

If you are still of the school of thought that believes that homosexualism is natural and acceptable to God then your struggle is pretty fundamental. in that case I will simply refer you to the same Romans 1 that has been repeatedly cited on this thread. But if your confusion is about whether you can be a true Christian while actively indulging your homosexual tendencies, the simple answer is NO.
Re: Can You Be A Christian And Still Be Gay? by Nobody: 8:29am On Sep 03, 2013
theoctopus:

You dont choose to be gay or straight in that sense. You are born with either a male organ or a female organ. You dont choose that. A male organ does no fit into another male organ. That is not rocket science is it? A male organ fits into a female organ. If the world started with 2 males, you would not be here typing this post. That is why the bible calls it unnatural. Color and gender are natural phenomenon. Homosexuality is not. So when something is not natural, it is a choice. You dont choose to be "straight". You are born straight. I actually dont like the term straight because it is funny and deliberate coinage created to suggest there is another state, which is really not a state but a choice.

What makes a man a male is not his feelings but his physical nature.
