NOT FOR ARGUMENTS! CAN I LOVE God and the same sex? What kind of love are you talking about? The Five Greek Words for Love (from Love Life by Dr. Ed Wheat) 1. epithumia = negatively "lust" or positively "desire" 2. eros = romantic, sensual, passionate love 3. storge = the love of belonging; generally shared between family members 4. phileo = the love shared between friends; tender affection 5. agape = a God-like, self-sacrificing, unconditional love

NOT FOR ARGUMENTS! CAN I LOVE God and the same sex? I don't see why you can't, others do.

I still want to know what kind of love is being referred to in the OP?

He probably does know himself, except that he has many strong and mixed emotions that trouble him.

Since the title of this thread has the word "Christian" in it, I wonder why this thread wasn't started in the "Christian Singles" forum.

Is it hostility to point out what the Qu'ran says about a certain subject?

Is it hostility to point out what the Qu'ran says about a certain subject? Not necessarily. By the way, unless the author of the OP is reading the replies on this thread, I see no reason why this thread should remain active.

According to the bible God said homosexual acts are an abomination and punishable by death. You have christians that say "well eating shellfish was an abomination and Jesus cleansed them and it's no longer an abomination." Ok but did Jesus say "i cleanse homosexual acts and it's ok to have them"?No. In other words if you're a christian and support homosexualality you're opposing your own God or messiah. That's why i'm an atheist i can choose what i want to accept and not let desert dwellers of ancient text interfere.

my respect,Christ died for us for 3 reas0n: TO JUSTIFY, To clean 0ur sin b0th past and future. lastly,to save and give us life f0r th0se wh0 believe in Him and accept Him t0 be his savi0r. Being gay is a sin,but God cleand u anym0re when he died and resurrected. but it d0esnt mean u have t0 c0ntinue sinning. You have t0 accept Jesus t0 be ur Savi0r that he will save u fr0m being gay,and he will change u t0 a new life.. .u must n0t neglect ur faith t0 0ur l0ving God-c0ntinue praying,being gay isnt ur pr0blem-HOPE it helps u.
