Due to the misleading man-made traditions of the church, there have become a source to some anti-God sentiments in the GLBT family/community. Instead of teaching the love of Christ, they blatantly push gay people away. I have friends that I cannot even discuss my faith in Jah (the name for God found in Psalms 68 that I choose to use since society has turned "God" into just another word) without them being squimish on the subject and the reason for it is that our supposed "Christian leader's" haveing demonized them. The Bible, the very word of Jah says that no sin is greater than another, which might I add, includes over-eating. There is a gigantic difference in gay love and gay lust. There is a scripture that say's "God IS love". "Is" mean's that God is made up of, made out of love. HE IS LOVE. Therefore, if you are a man in LOVE with another man, and it is true love (not lust) then, whether they acknowledge it, they have Jah! PERIOD. Another scripture say's "love cover's a multitude of sin". Your true love for your partner will cover your, and their sin's, but I would make sure not to take advantage of grace and daily ask for forgivness for anything you might have done, even unknowingly. The Bible is the word of Jah. You cannot pick and choose what parts of it that you want to believe in it nor manipulate it to serve man's purpose. How about bringing back a real church that glorifies Jah versus all these social clubs promoting homophobia. If anyone guilty of persecuting the GLBT community and have asked for forgivness and need prayer, or a GLBT community member who wants the truth and to know just how much Jah really loves you versus what supposed christians have told you & treated you and learn to forgive them, contact me for prayer. My company email is located in my profile. May Jah bless you and your loved ones with blessings abundant and grace and a softer heart,

Hello Roxanne, You seem to be knowledgeable about some of the ideas behind "gay" theology. I have a couple of questions you might be able to answer.

(1)Where is the line between homophobia and acceptable opposition to the practice of homosexuality?

(2)What is your opinion of individuals who have left the homosexual lifestyle and become practicing heterosexuals? In other words, Ex-"gays".

God Bless you!

Thank you for your inquiry and for doing so tastfully. By both question's you have posed, it leads me to believe that you have already assumed that being gay is a decision one can make, and although some of my community members may crucify me for saying so, I believe you are half right. On question number one: True homophobia is a diagnosed mental condition that I wish my community would understand that you just can't "get over it". It is a stigma placed in the mind of the diagnosed person by growing up in a society (or amoung family, peers, ect.) that has been anti-gay to the point of name-calling and protraying it in the same catagories as villians or those who cause harm to others..i.e. something to be feared. These people are prone to acting out violently because they feel a physical sickness from the thought of gay people. These people need to realize that "gay" will be more and more accepted with time and that they need to seek some sort of therapy to help them live in a world were this is happening. Keep in mind that in no way am I saying that they should have to change themselves, but since the world is going that way, to be happy in it, they need a source of peace and to have people around them that sympathize with there illness. An "acceptable opposition" would be those who are not entralled with sharing their neighborhood's with gay people, yet do not "throw stones" by name calling, or acting out in any voilent and anti-proactive ways and I think that if gay people want to be accepted, they should respect those people's beliefs and ideal's. Back to Homophobic's.

In addressing user: Martin_Kaine:

I don't think you truely grasped the true concept of the different types of 'love' that I was reffering to and/or I may have done a poor job of expressing it. I think you are a very open minded person that respects others and I want to thank you for being kind and courteous.

Different people have different perspectives of/on any and everything and instead of disagreeing with difference, I'd rather sit back and be amused by it and that we are actually all unique in the way we view things. Not to be confused with being indifferent. (If the prior statments require being embellished on, I will be happy to).

There are many types of love. We can't just roll them into one. There's the love you have for an uncle/father/mother ect., there's the love/charity for other's, and then there's the love you feel for a husband or wife that we reffer to as being "in love". There are many gay couple's who sleep in the same bed, hug, kiss, yet remain celebate due to their beliefs.
One thing we are never to do is judge others and that's all for this reason: What maybe a sin for you, may not be for me. Let me explain. If you do something and you feel bad about it, that Jah telling you it was wrong of you. If Someone else does the same thing and doesn't feel condemned by it, and it's the FIRST TIME they did 'it', for them, at that moment in time, at that point in their life, it is not a sin.....because it hasn't been revealed to them by Jah (for some lesson they need to know for something later in life....maybe to have the understanding to help someone w

I am not hostile toward the homosexual community but I am supportive of the right to choose change if an individual has unwanted same sex attractions. I also believe the "gay" community should respect the ideals and beliefs of the "exgay" community. There are advocates for the "exgay" community, 'Parents And Friends of Exgays And Gays' being one of them. Their website: http://www.pfox.org/

TTO:VILLHAM: YOUR "GOD" IS AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION AND WORD. YOUR NOT WRONG. USING 'JAH' IS A PERSONAL CHOICE TO BRING BACK HOLINESS TO HIS NAME AND TO REJECT SECULARISM. There are pages of terms that people call God. IN THIS DAY AND TIME "GOD" HAS BEEN ABUSED AND TURNED INTO JUST ANOTHER WORD. TAKEN IN VAIN. FOR SOME PEOPLE, THEY HAVE TURNED TO MATERIAL THINGS AS THEY'RE 'GOD'. 'JAH' IS KNOWN BY NATIONS AS A NAME FOR 'GOD'. I CHOOSE TO USE 'JAH'. DON'T FORGET THE PREFACE TO YOUR FORMENTION SCRIPTURE KEY FROM THE BIBLE (THE NOSTIC VERSION OF THE BOOK OF SHADOWS)"ACCORDING TO YOUR CUSTOMS...." (YOUR BEING SPELLED WITH A LOWERCASE 'Y'). NOT ONLY ARE WE IN A DIFFERENT TIME, BUT ALSO IN THE LATTER DAYS NEW MILLINEUM COVENANT.
F.Y.I.
OVER EATING=GLUTINY
ABONINATION=DISLIKES
SIN=AN ACT OF SUBMITION OR OMITION AGAINST JAH.
IN ANYCASE, WE SHOULD LONG AS WITH A BLEEDING HEART TO SERVE HIM. JAH BLESS U ALL. BLESSED BE.
AS A PROPHET, AS FAR AS USING THE SCRIPTURES FOR MY OWN MEANS, IT IS MY SWORD, MY SHEILD AND RAMPART. GOD LED ME TO THE SCRIPTURE KEY.
PS-I ALSO BELIEVE SOME ARE BORN GAY.
ALL I AM ALLOWED TO DO OR SAY IS WHAT JAH HAS PLANNED. YOU ALWAYS KNOW YOUR ON THE RIGHT PATH WHEN OTHERS THROW STONES.

TO THOMAS7:I AGREE, THE RAINBOW COMMUNITY DOES NEED TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THE EX-GAY.
JAH BLESS U ALL. BLESSED BE.

PS-I THINK FUNDAMENTALLY WE ARE TOGETHER ON THIS. MY REVELATION OF WHO I AM AND MY HOST WILL BE COMING SOON.

NO MATTER IF IT'S ME, YOU PREACHER/PASTOR/PREIST OR ANYONE....REMEMBER THAT WE ARE ALL HUMAN, WE ALL SPEAK, HEAR, AND SEE WITH A CARNAL BODY. SO W

Hi there,Please accept my apoligy for that rude comment last night,I was out of line,Please forgive me?but I do want you to answer a couple of questions for me if you would be so kind.You said in your post and I quote;Your true love for your partner will cover your and their sins,Please explain that to me since the Bible say's that only Jesus and his shed blood can forgive sins,the Bible also say's that he who lay's with man as with woman has commited abomination in the sight of God or Jah as you refer to him.Psalm 68:4 sing to God,sing praises to his name;Extol him who rides on the clouds'by his name Yah or Jah according to which version of the Bible you are reading.The word Yah Or Jah refers to the short term of YAHWEH which is the covenant name for God.Roman 1:27-28 also state that:Likewise also the men,leaving the natural use of woman,burned in their lust for one another,men with men commiting what is shameful,and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.This verse has alway's led me to beleive that it is talking about the aids and std epidemic that is killing people.verse 28 say's that they did not like to retain God in their knowledge so he gave them over to a reprobate mind.

At the heart of the Bible we are commanded to love other's as ourselves and what I was saying is that if you have true love, (as Jah loves us) and if you possess that same love with your partner, according to the word, either Jah breathed or according to the writer's opinion, YOUR LOVE SHALL COVER EACH OTHER'S SIN'S IF LOVED AS CHRIST DID. But I think it's highly important to reiterate that IF YOU POSSES THE SAME LOVE FOR OTHERS (OR YOUR LOVER AS CHRIST....WOULD YOU BE WILL TO DIE AN EARTHLY DEATH FOR THEM OR EVEN A SPIRITUAL ONE?) Also, you are correct in my word for God, the most sacred name for Him, at one point only uddered in a whisper and by a highly favored tribe of Jah. About the STD/HIV situation, I to believe it is from Jah because 'the wages of sin is death' (and it was created to stop the drinking of blood as a self sacrifice or rather a sacrifice to one's self or a girlfriends sacrifice to their boyfriend....I am actually going to be revieling something on this that will prove shocking, for now I'll say that we have a very evil sub-culture growing across the world). What we are talking about is gay LUST (which does exsist greater in the gay male gender as much as it does in the hetero male), a desire to share "oneness" with the person, and love. A love so close that you want to occupy the same space as that person is the true love and just the right ammount of passion to keep it alive. I STRONGLY WANT TO REMIND YOU THOUGH THAT HIV/AIDS RARELY EXSIST'S IN THE GLBT COMMUNITY ANYMORE ( early 1990's+ DUE TO THE 80's SCARE AND GAY PEOPLE EDUCATING THEMSELVES QUIC

I think it is truly amazing how we twist the Bible around to make it mean what we want it to mean. Leviticus 18:22 is very direct when it says "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."

Romans 1:26-28 says, "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done."

Does this mean that God does not love homosexuals? That gay people can't be forgiven? Absolutely not. God loves us, and our sin, whether it be homosexual or otherwise hurts him.

I would suggest that instead of relying on the words of others, you and anyone who may be questioning things, read the Word of God. Man will always twist things to make it work to make our guilt go away. But God knows the truth. God knows what is wrong and right no matter how we twist it. God bless you all.

it does say so in the bible not to lay with one anouther same sex as well as i read in there about soddom and gomorra as god destroyed those people save for lot and his family but remember his wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt this is in the bible as for as gay an sin i believe or rather know jesus said to the prostitute go and sin no more now same for all sin,gambling lieing,stealing,if you don't work as you should that is stealing and a sin but just say not to sin anymore;i will not go into more descriptions of what sins are listed as we have the 10 commandments,but not just those the whole bible so if you as inchurch that is using the king james version (some others may leave out something)and go to a spirit filled church you have no proble with knowing what to say about gay or lesbian issues if not go to a pentacostal church of god or assembly of god to really get the best ideas to deal with anything life has coming your way!god bless

I am an illusionist in the genre street termed "drag", an artist, composer, and owner of my own independant film production company called "Slung Up! Studio's". We cater mostly to the GLBT community. I am obsessed with my relationship with Jah as an adament Spiritualist. My personal platform is to fight against what is known as "excommunication" by religeous organisations who put thier MAN-MADE TRADITIONS before THE WORD OF JAH by not allowing openly GLBT individuals & couple's not to be in ANY HOUSE OF JAH that the person feels lead to go to. I have won many awards for my GLBT accomplishments but I don't want that to overshadow my messages from Jah to his beloved GLBT children. I have spent many hours lobbying congress (in drag) for the rights we deserve as citizen's of this country. Even Jah gives free will, (on our issuse's, so does the constitution), way do his follower's not? I am mostly a speaker and entertainer through my DVD releases. My last DVD release sold 70,159 copies before we pulled it and it recieved a 5 star review from a member of the Associated Press.
