But heaven forbid you actually go out and feed the homeless or visit the sick or read to a child or something. Clearly, you are so productive while posting on a conspiracy forum.

He's such a hypocrite, right? Yet he can not and will not EVER see it. He's too stuck in his ways, all because he fears punishment.

Ignorance blinds people,
i have heard this argument by many, 'Gods Love will help you' 'you need to finds gods love' ' gods love will help you with your sinning homosexual ways'
if he existed, wouldn't his love be accepting? wouldn't his love not make me go through the horrid life i've been through, and know since i'm in my early twenties i have multiple years left? wouldn't his love spread to others to aid in their acceptance? or is his love only to change my 'Homosexuality'

Ahhhh jeeeeezzzzzz
You are still going on and on about this?
Didn't you already say you have never read this guy's book of faith and that you had no clue as to the nature of the material from which his opinions are being derived?
Now you are telling him what his God should or shouldn't be doing for you.
This thread is so incredibly full of ignorant ranting it is a good thing that ignorance is bliss otherwise you may all realize how childish you all come across.
The best part though is that you wont, because you all even admit your willful ignorance of each others' POV.

If you believe what you say why do you attack what I say? I said I believe that I should simply love you and believe that you will find love for yourself. This is what Christ said. How is this against what you believe? Stop accusing me of being Christian, I am a disciple of Christ, I try to live like Paul told me to live. To work with my hands and to love everyone, not causing any to stumble. This is what he heard from Christ, who was and is the Spirit of Love. And who is to come.
What have I said that is against you? What am I asking you to believe? God loves us all and forgives us all for the things that are done against love. This is what I believe. Don't you believe the same? I am not the one who determines what is right and wrong that is up to the father. I don't try to do his job because I don't fully understand his ways.
This too was the message of Jesus Christ, the savior of all men. All men, every last one. Jesus believed in universalism and so do I.
What Paul and myself believe about universalism is it should in itself lead to the evolution of man. If all men accept that we are all universally saved what would be left to fight for? If we came together simply to love one another, the evolution of spirit towards love, would we not find love?
The messianic age, the 1000 year reign of Christ here on earth if we will pursue it together. We are only given the instruction to love, the rest lies in the hands of the one whom created us.
What religion am I spreading? Is to love one another as Christ said a religion? Really do we need someone to tell us that we should love one another?
If you can't say something nice don’t say anything at all?
Sharing is Caring?
We say and teach many of the right things, but when we "grow up", we don't truly exhibit the behavior that we claim is best. If it is best for our children to grow up peaceful when are we going to teach them this by achieving peace ourselves? What generation will be willing to break the cycle?

If that's the case, one wonders why god made them the way they are. To condemn them?
There are over 1,500 animals who exhibit homosexual tendencies, so saying it is a choice isn't really an option.
3NLIGHT,
God makes no one homosexual. The "act" is an intrinsic evil. Homosexuality is a disorder, with the destruction
of the family, there is a failure between many fathers and their children.
You cannot compare humanity to animals. It's lame. God gave every person a soul, which is a part of
God.
Just curious. What is it about homosexuality that makes it worse than the dozen or so sins you commit every day? What if a gay person decided to trade in gambling or something? Let's say that placed his number of daily sins on par with yours? Would that make you as bad as a gay guy in the eyes of your god?

Love has to be Acceptance.
If you cannot even Accept the person for who they are then you do not love them you only love your fantasy of what you want them to be - but not the reality - not who they truly are.

Great way of putting it.
If you can't accept someone for who they are and try to make them change who they are, you do not love them, only what you want them to be.
It's very hypocritical to throw around the word love when they obviously have no understanding of what the word means. If you don't accept someone for who they are and the way they were born, you do not love them. Plain and simple.

Rhetorical questions are not aimed at receiving real answers, they are designed to mock.
Let me attempt to translate the POV of most of these "Bible thumpers" for you. Your parents may love you unconditionally for all your faults. Scratch that let us delineate further. You may love your friends unconditionally and wish to see them succeed and live a healthy life. The issues would arise in the perceived notions of success and health between yourself and your friend.
Let us say your friend has an unhealthy habit per your view but said habit is not unhealthy from your friend's POV. Would you stand by if you thought your friend's habit would lead to a life of suffering? Not likely. Chances are you would make some form of attempt at curbing their unhealthy habit.
Your friend may not appreciate your attempts at "helping" them but it does not mean you love each other any less.
You can view this situation in a very similar light.
All that needs to be done is substitute "hell" with "cancer" and "unhealthy habit" with "smoking."

That is merely a difference of points of view, nothing more and nothing less.
In China having small feet was attractive to the point of women binding their feet and was a common practice. In America today we would view that as sexist and abusive physical mutilation.
You don't seem to be able to accept that other people do not have the same world view as you.
You seem to be obsessed with establishing a consensus that fits your view of the world, as does the other poster, and are absolutely unwilling to settle for anything less.

I read the posts of the individual who you continually claim is calling you an abomination.
They even addressed this issue and yet you refuse to accept their explanation. The have a personal view based on their religious beliefs that engaging in homosexual activity is abominate. They even took the time to explain that it is the action they consider to posses the trait cited above.
You fail to acknowledge that they are not calling you as a person an abomination. They consider your actions to be so. How do you not understand this?
You are confusing a trait and/or action with a person as a whole. It is as simple as that but you refuse to accept that there can be a difference between an action and the person.
In literary terms you are failing to distinguish between a noun and an adjective.
You keep attempting to put words in their mouth through wordplay rather than analyzing what is actually being said.
