I thought Jesus said we shouldn't be judging others and just be loving everyone. So why are we deciding what is a sin and what is not? That's is God's role, not ours. If someone wants to take pride in being gay, and God doesn't like that, then God will deal with that. We shouldn't be doing anything about it. We should just be loving everyone.[/quote]

You are misinterpreting Jesus’ love as a blank check for sinful acts.

Jesus loved everyone but didn’t condone their sinful acts. He saved the prostitute but that didn’t mean he condoned prostitution.
We can love homosexuals as human beings without condoning homosexuality.

We live in a society and we as a society decide what is right and wrong.
Should we just let criminals run around because it’s not our responsibility to judge them or do something about it?
Stealing and killing are sins. We love criminals as human beings but we asking them to repent and stop their sinful acts.

DP. You're claiming homosexuality is a "sinful act" and at least implicitly you're comparing it to stealing and killing. Stealing and killing, yes, the Bible clearly says they're sinful, starting with the 10 commandments. What many here, including me, have been arguing is that the Bible, at least the New Testament, does not clearly establish homosexuality as sinful.[/quote]
