Bishop Gene Robinson: "God called me out of the closet" 

Agreed, but but do you really love him more than those that you think hate him? Hate is to harm. Who is harming and who is loving and trying to actually help? People have chosen to lose understanding of the love and the abilities of Jehovah Rapha and they instead settle for what hurts people more rather than God’s best for them. Is that live? Is that hate? Wouldn’t you think that the person who loves this man is the one who shows him God’s loving solutions and perfect truth? God‘s ways are truly best and he didn’t design us to miss out, agreed? Romans one makes it clear that God‘s truth is revealed to all so man is without excuse, what a blessing, no one but those who choose hell go there, but it also goes on to say some do trade in God’s best for the compromises and God will allow a hardness of heart and Hell to anyone who rejects God’s best in favor of being their own god and the eternity without God and his goodness that comes with that choice. I know many people who know longer live in that lifestyle I, but sadly their testimonies are often taken off the Internet, why can’t we hear about the people who feel better off after leaving that lifestyle? Why is the truth of their testimony slandered and even removed from others being able to hear about the greater joy they now have?

​@@SRose-vp6ewBeing gay isn't a lifestyle. It's inherent. People are born lgbtq.

Beware of false teachers, you will know them by their fruit. Mathew 7:21-23.

God is nothing but love: there is no other energy, emotion or reality to our Creator but love. The picayune fiction of a deity who damns was born of the unknowing or the cruel. Those who judge are standing in a fog of self-deception.

Yes, very good. Gay people love, which is self-sacrificial. The Episcopal Church teaches this love.

What do you mean by that?

faith is a dangerous tool. There is no one more dangerous than someone who believes they have exclusive knowledge of the Truth and the duty to impose it on others.

faith based belief is the single most dangerous obstacle to social advancement and harmony. ..

Faith is free, religion is expensive.

@@Spiritdove64 Well, it's rather lucky the Episcopal Church doesn't believe that, then.

Beware of false teachers & false prophets. Mathew 7:21-23

If you believe in the word of God as inspired then you must know this is intrinsically wrong. Being gay is not, but practicing is. Just as it is wrong for a man and woman to have sex before marriage is wrong. It says in scripture that men did shameful things with men and women gave up natural intercoure and burned with last for one another. Does this sound like something God wants to happen.? You must receive help or remain chaste. Don't listen to Satan's lies, he will lead you to HELL.

Good for you! Don't let the haters rob you of Christian living. Jesus didn't say a thing about sexuality.

Why would you? It’s your relationship with Jesus. His is the only one that counts. Who cares about everybody else. That should not stop you. I’m a devout Roman Catholic and there are gay people that come to church as it should be. Nobody can say who can and cannot worship. That’s only for God to decide.

You are welcome...and wanted, and even needed!

Please... don't let these judgers run you away or out of church. Trust me those people who judge you for sinning "differently" than they do will have a front row seat in hell. God bless you!

its one of many CrueL lusts

Have you read Genesis 1:27? Have you read Galathians 3:28? Ever considered that God, as supreme being, is both male and female, and neither? Ever considered that gay, trans, and all the LGBTQ+ people are a sign that God's love is boundless and limitless? Aren't you aware that judging and condemning others will not get you any points in God's eyes?

Amen @MariaMartinez-researcher.

​@@MariaMartinez-researcher Romans 1: 26-28, sin causes you to question your identity. Bible states God as a father, there is no question about that. Noone is judging, i love all believers but I bring this up out of love not judgment.
