Should Gay's go to church

What do you think about Gay's going to church, are they wasting their time?

Y would they be wasteing their time?? Gays are human beings just like straight people..

They have rights. No one should be judging. Crack the Bible open and it will tell you God says not to judge it's left up to him to judge all who come before him. Those who judge and who have hate in their hearts should ask for forgiveness. There is too much hate in the world and where does it get people? They were born this way it's not a choice.

Jesus said to the man "why do you call me good? There is NONE good except the Father"

This from Jesus!!!

It seems today that we have a 'sin de jour' Sin of the Day. Church's pick a sin topic beet it todeath and ignore the countless sins around them The bible teaches us that no one sin is worse than any other sin. Sin is sin. So I ask you this, Is it a worse sin to be in a committed relationship with some one you love or to be shacked up with someone? Is it a worse sin too be in love with someone or to use you tithes to buy that new Iphone you just have to have? Is it a worse sin to hold and be with someone who loves you, or to gossip about the couple two rows down from you who are going through a divorce? We need to look at ourselves and worry more about our own lives before we even think about someone else's sins.

Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV): "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters, nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of Heaven.

I think they are wasting their time!

Oh sweet, we're slinging Bible quotes around. I love this game.

Slaves? Yeah, go ahead. Its cool.
"As for the male and female slaves whom you may have, it is from the nations around you that you may aquire male and female slaves." (Leviticus 25:44, NRSV)

"And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes." (Luke 12:47)

Women? Ohh that's a good one. God can barely stand your kind.
"And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire." (Leviticus 21:9)

"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." (I Corinthians 11:3)

"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35)

Oh, here's three more fun ones.

"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)

"This said the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun." (II Samuel 12:11)

And lastly, something about killing kids.
"How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones Against the rock." (Psalms 137:9, New American Bible)

Yes read what you wrote, "I WILL RAISE UP EVIL AGAINST THEE"
just what do you think that means? Duhhh

You need to read a little further in Leviticus 20:13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Or what about Romans7 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

You can't argue with gays they try to justify what they do, but to god there is no justification, In my opinion they are going the Hell! end of story! There is fun in sin for a season then comes the judgement. I'm glad I'm not the judge! I only read what the bible says, it's clear and simple! They are already suffering with AIDS, this is one of God's punishments.

Should gays go to church? Yes, they should go to a REAL Bible preaching church, get saved and forsake their evil ways. I'd worry more about getting into Heaven than I would a church. NO SIN will enter into Heaven, no matter how many churches you have attended.

If No Sin will enter into Heaven, then No one will enter into Heaven, because all have sinned. Live long enough and you will sin. It is inevitable.

If gays want to go to church, why not? Fornicators go to church, Liars go to church, Gossipers go to church, Gluttons go to church, pretty much sinners of all ilk go to church...

Even Backsliders go to church...

"But when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice and does the same abominations that the wicked person does, shall he live? None of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for the treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die." Ezekiel 18:24

There are many contradictions found from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

You would think the place for any sinner would be church, so that others can pray for them.

Perhaps people should just work on themselves and pray for others.

I'd love for just one person, anywhere, to show me one verse where Jesus spoke on this subject. Just one.

By passing judgements on who is fit to attend a church or not alone is a sin. I hope that at your death beds, at the latest, you TRULY feel sorry for having those thoughts. The Bible tells people to love thy neighbor and to share the word of the Lord with those who walk far from the path.

The Bible also says that God knows your true intentions when you pray and that if you repent just for the sakes of not going to Hell then you might as well have just lied to God.

Do all the Christians feel this is a better alternative? To feel like they are the only right ones here on earth, but to ignore their own text on the proper treatment of ALL God's creatures? This is exactly why Christianity is on the decline in this country--if not for the common sence, then for the constant hypocracies one must live with blindly in order to be a Christian.

Keep ruining it for those that share your religious beliefs, I can't wait for the majority of people to be swayed to the truth then to these beliefs held from the Dark Ages.

there is nothing that says gay's shouldn't go to church, but if they continue to willfully sin god will turn them over to a reprobate mind, which means he want deal with them anymore.
The same goes for any sin, but it does speak about homosexuals.

Of course, they have the right to believe as they wish in anyway. Just because they have sex differently than you doesn't mean they are another species. It's silly to think they are wasting their time because should the aim of a religion be to make one happy and content? Not judged or immortalized a person, to scare them completely away from something that could possible make them happy.

Jeez, it's not like they are strapping on their toys or lubing up in the church, running around 'infecting' people with their 'dirty AIDS filled life' and 'recruiting' to their cause to take over the world and make us all do it in the butt or whatever. I would think people would love gays at church, so nice, friendly, happy for the most part. Till you start judging them, I'd be mad to if I couldn't be myself in America too. I would probably run through a church with strap-ons and sex dolls if you acted this way towards me, be happy they have more respect for you than you do for them.

By the same token, should any sinner go to church? that's what your really saying, you can pick and choose your sin, but sin is sin, do you live with someone you're not married to? then you're living in sin. do you gossip? lie? Do you work and provide for your family? if not, you're a sinner. Do you love your neighbor as yourself? Do you pay your tithes? What was that, that Jesus said? Remove the timber from YOUR eye, before you try to remove a splinter from someone else.

I'm a Christian, but I think if you willfully sin over and over again you are not really a child of God. I try to do done of what you have listed above. We all have our problems. Gay's have the opportunity to change as with anyone else. It's a sin just being in the human body! As our mother's conceived us in sin. I'm glad I've got a savior to ask for forgiveness each day. Gay's need to be in church so they will change their life styles.

I'd like to stick a splinter IN your eye!
