Did Christian homophobia come from a mistranslation of the Bible?

He has run repeatedly for office. He ran in five Democratic primaries in Kansas, including gubernatorial, U.S. Senate and mayoral races, but never won. He and his church supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic presidential primary but later picketed the 1997 inaugural ball because Gore had changed his views on gay rights. He has demonstrated against the funerals of Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan and William Rehnquist.

The founder of the Westboro Baptist church is a democrat.

He is an example of how Christians are trying to hurt LGBTQ people.

He also tried to hurt the families of US Soldiers who were killed and hurt in war.

He hates Catholics, Jewish people, American Military personnel, the Pope, etc.

Is he your example of Christians in America? He represents Christianity?

What is your denomination, are you a Christian? why do you keep repeating that without any explanation?

Do sins vary by denomination?

Not if the church or denomination is Biblically based. Some denominations make their own rules. They disregard the Bible.

Is disregarding the Bible a sin to the Bible based denominations?

The Westboro Baptist Church was allowed by the Supreme Court to picket and protest the funerals of American Soldiers killed in action.

Some of you (at least one) has zero comprehension of the freedoms and rights guaranteed under the constitution and the laws of our country.

You seem to think your opinion about glbtq people supersedes and overrides everything else and everyone else. Really you need help.

And the vast, vast majority of Christians do not hate or harm gay people.

Christianity says sexual immorality by both gay and straight people is considered sinful.

Ok. So don’t cheat on your spouse.

Gay sex isn’t immoral.

According to the Bible it is.

Ask them. I don’t know everything about all religions. The people here who think Fred Phelps represents the average American Christian probably know. They are the experts on the subject of Christianity. Except when it’s about Fred Phelps being a democrat.

You aren’t a Christian, but you are an expert on what the Bible says.

How did that happen? You must have earned a degree in theology, and learned many ancient languages to do your own translations of Biblical texts. I am interested in how many years of study you have under your belt as a Biblical scholar?

No one said that.

He’s an example of the anti-LGBTQ Christian bigots. Similar to those posting on this thread.

Believe what you want. That’s your right. But our society doesn’t share your beliefs. Society rejects your immoral homosexual acts.
Do what you want in the privacy of your bedroom, nobody cares. But don’t force society to condone your immoral acts. They will always be viewed negatively.

Which “society” is that?

The Christian American society.

If calling homosexuality a sin is hurting lgbtq people, I’m sorry that’s your problem. Christians will call a sin a sin.
Stop playing the victim.

I wonder how many people who aren’t Christians are posting in this thread trying to tell Christians how to practice their religious beliefs?

Nothing says tolerance like being intolerant. GLBTQ people can be bullies just like any other people.

Both gay and straight people can sin by being sexually immoral.

Even if someone tells you you’re not sinning, when you are sinning, God still is going to judge you. If you want to pretend you aren’t sinning don’t force others to co-sign your sin. Nobody wants to go down with you because you can’t recognize your own sin, or want people to affirm your sin so it seems ok with God.

Christians have been doing much more to hurt gay people than calling it a sin. Which it's not.
