The Bible makes it clear what God thinks of homosexuality as a life style – God despises all sins, including homosexuality. Yet the Bible also makes it abundantly clear what God thinks of sinners. Though God despises sin, He loves sinners… as His children. Though God despises homosexuality as a life style, God loves homosexuals… as His children.
Look, I’m a sinner. I happen not to be homosexual, but I have plenty of other sins that I seem to daily re-visit. These sins are just part of who I am as a person. But my sinful personal nature does not affect God’s love for me. Even in the midst of my sinning, God loves me just as I am.
Are you homosexual? God loves you just as you are. The pain comes from too many of us focusing all our attention on the sin, and forgetting about the love. Let’s all hold onto God’s love, a love that heals all pain.

Hi CJ, I remember this post from earlier so I won’t post again on it, but I just saw on another blogger’s site that I follow a really solid collection of info that I thought you might be interested in checking out or may be useful for others visiting your blog. :)

God loves sinners that accept in faith what he has done for them. Sin is sin, but until we acknowledge our sin and ask him for forgiveness, we will never see the joy of heaven. As Jesus said to the sinner that repented, “Go and sin no more.” Like the father of the prodigal son, he will receive us with open arms and rejoice with all the angels that the sinner returned. I’m a sinner too, but I have to go to God daily for forgiveness and then pray for help in overcoming my sin. May God be with you.
