This is a statement I heard a number of years ago from a co-worker of mine who worked for the FAA and was Baptist! This statement was made because of me being gay and you love a gay person but hate the sin of gay sex!
Jehovah's Witnesses have recently accepted the same standing on this subject. They still because of ignorance associate being gay to being an alcoholic, a born evil person with a desire to kill etc. Never mind that science proves otherwise they insist the Bible says so!
So lets quickly review the Bible without prejudice! Lot slept with his daughters supposedly because they though they were the last human survivors to procreate. Solomon had 1000 wife's, I guess to procreate though the main reason was he wanted to! Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed not because of gay people , BUT BECAUSE LOT COULD NOT FIND ONE GOOD HUMAN! Jesus never mentioned anything about not loving gay people and/or the act of homosexuality!
I get the point that man should not lay down with man because they could not procreate (though woman could lay down with woman)! But technology today is what the technology then and today gay men can procreate! I know lots of gay men who have had children from a willing woman , their mother!
Hate the sinner, but not the sin is like "don't ask, don't tell"! It's like when blacks were not allowed in JW's hall's (they don't call them churches)! It's like when they were against organized religion just to become one!
With time they changed and I am happy having a JW family that at least know I can be loved by them. My sexual behavior should be no-ones business as is not if you're a heterosexual, bisexual or no-sexual, as we all become as we age. To use ignorance and thereby keep people from finding love and being happy and supporting heterosexuality with a divorce rate of 60% (gay divorce rate is heading that way) is ignorant.
What they or religion don't talk about is that homosexuality exists in the animal kingdom and even the plant kingdom! It would make sense to stop population growth it would become prevalent in the human kingdom.
Maybe that is why Jesus never mentioned since he knew that was not an issue. Just like embracing a prostitute was not an issue! It's LOVE after all, that he stressed was needed and would show his people to be different!
