If anyone doesn't know what homophobia is, I recommend for them to look it up in their dictionary--or in two or three dictionaries...! Homophobia is not a nice word in our society these days. Some Christians may say they don't care what society thinks and they only want to consider that God says the practise of homosexuality is a sin....
In my opinion, it's fine to have a religious view about homosexuality. But then Christians are obliged to understand and practise the whole Bible concept of sin.... God is not a harsh judge but He's kind, forgiving, and merciful [until the final Judgment Day].... There's two sides to the story...!
If a Christian doesn't want to be homophobic, he/she shouldn't make derogatory remarks about gays or about their sexual behaviour.... It's not necessary to comment and pass judgment....
It's not my intention to debate gay marriage in this post but I've heard some very skeptical comments from some people. Not all gays want to get married, but some people can't imagine that some gays have an emotional capacity and a desire to commit to one partner and share a home together.... Some Christians have been so hateful and resentful that they didn't want to allow gays to have their ambitions. I believe we need to accept people--even gays--where they're at and we don't need to scoff at them...especially when it must be better for gays to have one partner than to run around with many partners....
"Live and let live." We can have our views in the church--with kindness and intelligence. And the Bible says we shouldn't judge others.--We certainly don't need to make nasty comments and negative put-downs....
