Pray for the Homosexuals

Could care less really. I am not a fan of Islam, I believe it is a terrorist religion. But it doesnt make any sense as to why they would put a prayer station in the public square or a foot washing station for that matter. But if people want to preach in the public square, go for it.

How do you feel about a Muslim prayer room in the public square? Or a Muslim foot-washing station?

I'd prefer to pray for the idiots who think it is okay to kill people because we don't force women to wear Burkhas and let them drive. Or we can pray for the people who judge others, Jesus says they'll be judged in kind.

What is so special about this particular sin that it needs special prayers?

Just because someone is a homosexual does not mean that we cannot love him (or her) or pray for him (her).

Homosexuality is a sin and like any other sin it needs to be dealt with in the only way possible. It needs to be laid at the cross and forsaken. Homosexuality is not a special practice that is exempt from God's righteous judgment simply because they claim they are born that way, or just want to be free to love, or say that it is normal. People are born with a tendency to lie.

Does that make it okay? People want to love each other, but since when is "love" the determiner of what is right and wrong? If homosexuality is normal, then why is it practiced by so few? The great majority of people are heterosexual. Are they "more" normal?

Please understand that I don't hate homosexuals. I wouldn't care if my neighbor is gay. I've had homosexual friends and have loved them the same as I would anyone else.

But, the Bible says homosexuality is a sin and the solution to the problem of sin (the breaking of God's Law, 1 John 3:4) is found only in Jesus. He is the Lord, the Savior, the risen King. Jesus is God in flesh (John 1:1,14) and he died to save sinners. We are all sinners and we need salvation (Eph. 2:8-9) that is found in receiving Christ (John 1:12-13).

We Christians should pray for the salvation of the homosexual the same as we would for any other person trapped in any other sin. This is not an issue of arrogance or judgmentalism. We don't want anyone to be lost due to their sin and that includes gays, lesbians, and transgenders.

The homosexual is still made in the image of God -- even though he (or she) is in rebellion.

Therefore, we Christians should show homosexuals the same dignity as anyone else with whom we come in contact.

Don't injure them.

Don't hate them.

Don't judge them.

Inform them that freedom and forgiveness are found in Jesus. Let them know that God loves us and died for us so that we might be delivered from the consequences of our sin.

But, this does not mean that you are to approve of what they do. Don't compromise your witness for a socially acceptable opinion that is void of rationality, godliness, and biblical truth. Instead, stand firm in the word that God has revealed and patiently love him/her biblically, and pray for their salvation. Be kind to them. Be loving. And, when appropriate, tell them the gospel.

Finally, if you are a homosexual, please understand that I do not hate you nor do I judge you. Sin is sin and the forgiveness of our sins is found in Christ.

It may be a sin for you, but not for us.
If God hates gays, why would he even create him? Don't you think Jesus would want you to promote peace, and to love your neighbors? He created us all equally, not that I am a believer.

Nobody ever said God hates gays. That is the false meme the queers throw out trying to guilt people into acquiescing. God gave us free will. God created Jeffrey Dahmer. God created Adolf Hitler. God created Joseph Stalin. And God created queers. Queers have a choice. They choose an immoral and deviant lifestyle. It is up to them to change. It is not up to me to accept their deviancy and I never will.

I can however, still love them as human beings and I shall. But, that makes them no less deviant and immoral.

Why do you hate gays?

oh I agree. My point is our culture seems to have no bounds when it comes to morals.

Our culture is actually still quite Puritan compared to some European and Asian cultures. Our MTV style media and our advertising may not reflect that...but that's not how most of us live our lives. Most of us live MAINLY monomgamous, traditional lifestyles.

I for one, can count my sexual partners on one hand....and I married two out of the five....and the first one, I was in a long term relationship with. So, I had two partners that I really had no interest in pursuing long term. I am 48, I love my wife dearly, and would never think of cheating on her.

I'm just not all that into meaningless, one night stand type sex. I happen to believe that there are more people like me than there are hyper promiscuous folk out there.

The Bible, as God's Word, reveals God's moral character and it shapes the morality of the Christian.

The Bible has much to say about homosexuality:


  • Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."
  • Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them."
  • 1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
  • Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."
