Is it normal that the church says not to hate, but they hate homos?

Generally Christians don't believe God "hates" homosexuals, they believe God punishes sinners who do not repent. They generally view homosexuality as a sin, and homosexuals as heterosexuals choosing to deviate from what God deems righteous.

So, many Christians think of homosexuals as people God loves who are choosing to sin and go against God's teachings, which God (with an aching heart) will punish them for. But if they genuinely repent and ask for forgiveness, they will be allowed into Heaven.

That's the distinction. He doesn't hate the sinner, He hates the sin.

I'm not a religious person by the way, it's just good to know about the world. Also, many Christians are more liberal in their interpretation and application of The Bible and accept homosexuals.

Christianity is a religion of contradictions.

churchy religion is dead. seek spirituality not religion. (just my opinion)

It's Christianity, it's full of hypocrisy, OF COURSE IT'S NORMAL FOR THEM!

I don't get why some people act as if God wrote the Bible, and like it's some sort of manual on how to get into heaven or something. It's undeniable that the Bible is full of contradictions, so people will naturally have different interpretations. A certain type of person will gravitate towards the hateful aspects of the Bible, with other types of people leaning towards the more tolerant and forgiving side of the Bible.

A lot of these people would probably be full of hate or love regardless of religion, and I believe that a lot of people just use religion as a kind of outlet for their hate. Kinda like justifying their behaviour.

There is a lot of hypocrisy in Christianity. However, you should keep in mind that not everyone is a strict interpreter of the Bible and there are quiet a lot of Christians who accept homosexuality.

Religion is based off lies

The church is my left tit.

Being gay isn't a sin, having gay sex is. So people who hate gays are ignorant, not only for the obvious reason of just being mean and nasty, but how do they know the gay person is committing gay acts? They could be virgins, or abstinent, whatever...

Also, these gay haters are committing more sins themselves, equal to homosexual acts, so they have no leg to stand on. It's just so stupid. I think it's just an easy way to deflect attention from their own misdeeds.

bible were written by men doest say anything on homosexuality its the church religion made to hate everything its man made the church done worse things to humanity look at history the crusaders killed so many indigeneous in north south americas canada australia more than 30 million in the name of the cross so were justice and lots of things happening within the churches

To Christians, God finds homosexuality an abomination. He destroyed a town back in the day biblical because of it. So as a Christian if your God doesn't approve of it, then why should you?

Im a Christian. { I guess} and gay people doesn't northern me if that's the way they choose to live their life thalen so be it. I feel like Christians come off wrong when they outright judge them or make them feel low to who they are. The most you can is still accept them and go from there judging and outright telling someone they're wrong for living that way is wrong in my opinion..

Fun fact. Christ once said "to hate is to commit murder of the heart." that being said. They're all going to Hell for being petty.

Christianity is the only religion in which homesexuality is considered a sin. Homosexuality is a very natural thing. All over the animal kingdom there are creatures taking part. Dogs dolphins monkeys etc. It only came to be looked down upon when christianity came about. Before that everybody was having sex with everybody for fun. There was no judgement just pleasure

Those of you who do not know the Bible are lead astray by self righteous Christians misrepresenting the truth of God's Word. God says that He hates the sin but loves the sinner, a homosexual act is no more or less a sin as adultery. Only because one is gay that does not mean that they are excluded from God's love and His Kingdom of Heaven. Ask one of these assholes to show you where it says that all gays are bound for hell. Jesus died for every sin but unbelief. There are Christians that are grounded in the Word for they know it but there are those as Catholics who ignore the truth about their church and this truth has never been hidden just ignored by them. Where gays make enemies with Christians is their attempt to change a same sex union which has all the legal rights of a marriage to a marriage in order to bring homosexuality closer to being accepted as normal which it is not. God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. What would He have told Adam and Steve?

There is a lot of hypocrisy in any kind of organized belief system. Christianity often does the "love the sinner, hate the sin" thing. Just remember that a lot of Christians fully accept homosexuality.

I think you should keep believing in yourself.

Nooo, the church says not to hate people it likes. You're allowed to hate homosexuals, people who have sex before marriage, people of other faiths, people with no faith, and people who are too lazy to build arks.

I'm kidding.

No, really. I actually am.

Churchies will discriminate if your not a christian and god hates fags yes he does and hes gonna BBQ your balls in a deep fryer in heaven
