No true christian hates anybody but many people - christians and non-christians - are instinctively uncomfortable with homosexuality. Safe to say that it is conventional, going by the majority, human behaviour to dislike homosexuality. But God is Love and rightly so is the message of Jesus Christ. But before Love there was the Law and in it were commandments. Where there is Law, there is always Judgement and Jesus Christ is the Judge (John 5:22, Acts 17:31) and God is Just (Col 3:35, Ecc 3:17). The Law is defined in the commandments and Jesus Christ came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it (Matt 5:17).

Now, God is Holy and Righteous and hates sin and sin is defined as lawlessness (1 John 3:4), ie. living in discordance with the law. Homosexuality is sin (Gen 19; Lev 18:22; 20:13; Rom 1:26-27) and the bible tells us that those who indulge in it will NOT inherit the kingdom of God (1 Cor 6:9). But does God hate homosexuals (sinners)? No, He doesn't. Here's what the bible says: “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”(Rom 5: and “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” (Is 1:18)

Christians love and follow Jesus Christ, but here's what Jesus says about that "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me" (John 14:21) He goes on to say "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him" (John 14:23) What this means is that believers of Jesus Christ have His Spirit in them and should express His Love towards people and dislikes towards sin.

So, do christians hate homosexuals? No. But out of love for their souls not to perish from the wrath of God in judgement. We pray and tell them to repent and turn to God.

Are they born that way? If yes, why did God create them?

The same applies for those born blind, deformed, dumb or lame. The answer is we don't know. I think the why's aren't so important, what is is how we make use of our life here on earth. We serve a God of miracles that is able change any situation. Besides, the christian life is about daily dying to the flesh from its lusts and passions (Gal 5:24; Matt 16:24) and it can only be done by the Spirit of God in believers.

I guess those other animals seen engaging in homosexuality "became that" too?

aminusanti:
No one born to be homosexual, the first people committed this crime were Lot's people and they were destroyed

If homosexuality is a natural thing, GOD wouldn't punish them such punishment:

The purpose of life is to worship GOD and work our way to Paradise, which He created us for. But Paradise is not cheap - however the harder the struggle the more beautiful the rewards. GOD has given each of us something to struggle with, and in His Mercy He chose that struggle that we were most capable of. No matter how hard it might be, remember that "GOD does not burden a soul with more than it can bear".

Everyone's struggle is unique. It could be in the form of kleptomania, physical or mental handicaps, obsessive compulsive disorder, being born in an extremely impoverished environment, being trapped in a war-stricken place like in Palestine or Myanmar or Afghanistan with your parents and siblings wounded and raped in front of your eyes and bombs exploding around you at all times, or being homosexual, or being straight but never getting a chance to marry the person you love, or being straight but just so obsessed with lust and desire that controlling oneself from adultery feels impossible, or straight but so physically handicapped that one can never have a relationship with anyone anyway. Everyone in all of these situations could ask "If I am bound to sin or be miserable in this situation, why did GOD put me in it in the first place?" but the reality is that we can deal with it, and this is our test. GOD alone knows that He chose this test for us over others, because maybe we wouldn't be able to deal with other tests. For example, one of the reasons GOD makes some people born in poverty is because He knows that had He given them riches, they may have abused their wealth. Or maybe He wanted to put them in that situation to develop the skills or patience to deal with other important things that they will be facing in life. The purpose of life is to see the beauty in everything despite all the odds, i.e. to worship GOD and attain Heaven.

Lennycool:
One of Jesus's core message is love, but most of the Christians I've encountered are the most homophobic ones, The question is if God created homosexual's and even made all mankind in his own image why do the religious hate homosexuals. Homosexuality is not a choice as research will tell you, its inborn just like being heterosexual. So did God make a mistake?

lordnicklaus:


Well, God never created them like that. He had already finished His creation work as the Bible states that He rested. He created Adam and Eve but just gave them the ability to multiply. Over the years scientific and genetical factor crept in and that resulted to mutation and change in genetic instructions.

Lennycool:

Atleast someone is attempting to use logic, you're are saying God never created anyone after Adam and eve, now let us examine that, so just two humans are responsible for what we see today have you ever asked your self with whom their children would reproduce with, haven't thought about that now have you, it would be each other, yes incest, so God says homosexuality is a sin but not incest. Your foundation was shaky from the start (as most of the thongs in the bible are), as genetics will tell you all of humanity cannot be traced back to two humans, it is simply impossible for that to account for all the diversity in the human gene today.

lordnicklaus:


True, the diversity of races today makes it quite impossible to have been originated from a duet. The only explanation I have is that the writers of the Bible were silent on some issues. Or it is possible that Adam and Eve had simple DNA and as they multiplied, it became far complex and that accounts for the junk code in the DNA. Ps: God only made laws against people who practiced "intentional homosexuality".

alolatee:


just to butress your point, God hates the sin and including homosexuality but loves the sinner...infact in the earthly ministry of Christ, Jesus was called the friend of sinners by the Pharisees because he ate with them and went into their homes.But Christ hates sin and preaches against it.He however will not point sin at people but points God to them.

Do you know many animals have been seen engaging in homosexual acts?

I guess from your post that those animals ancestry caused it too

There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that homosexuals are born that way . Please stop reading crappy atheist websites

Lennycool:

So your answer is that it's a test they need to overcome, and God gave them this test because he knows they'll overcome it. But some are not overcoming it, people born blind on the streets haven't overcomed it, there are people who lived and died in stark poverty they did not overcome it, children die in war torn places and didn't even get a chance to overcome this test set forth by their loving creator. please break the illusion thatbis religion www.godisimaginary.com

Is it natural or not?

NB: I'm not homosexual

I guess that same "devil" created other animals that have been caught engaging in homosexual acts

KingEbukasBlog:


Animals eat their young ones during famine . Do you think they know what they are doing ? As a human if you kill your young one you will you end in jail .

Some animals also eat their droppings and mate with their parents and siblings , what do you think causes that ? Don't you think humans should consider that too ?
