That's like saying God made me a thief,or God made me an liar,

[theatertalk]

Well, I do wonder who made you so profoundly ignorant and filled with hate.

[CheapTrick81]

Though I disagree with the video, I can't believe many of you on here. Especially those who claim God as their god. Calling them the other "f" word and passing judgement. God will judge you for your careless words. Every careless word will be brought before the Lord just as every knee will any and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. To those who are gay you have my sympathy in the way you are treated, but true Christians don't hate you.

The bible does condemn homosexual erotic behavior but it also condemns lying, theft, murder, and not loving your neighbor. The verses about condemnation apply to EVERYONE because we all have sinned. It's ridiculous to me that there are still people out there who have it out for the LGBT community. Why must we hate? Why not love?

@leathertool hater...sorry but it is simple as that...if you know any gay people you KNOW that they are no more thieves and liars than you are...sorry, but you are an ignorant hater...I know nothing about you but that you have no real concept of human sexuality...live in that world, baby...that is fine, but then do NOT make a judgment about gay people...you have no idea...none...

@Gary01839 Christianity isn't determine by gay or straight. And Romans 1:24-32 doesn't tell what god says but what paul says. As holy as the bible is a lot of it is written by man point of veiw. Get educated on the bible and stop quote maybe you will understand it better.

@leathertool You're an idiot. Those are things that are caused by defects and disorders of the brain..... Shut up and go read some books before you open your ignorant mouth.

We All Are Born Into This World As Virgins. It's A Choice To Have Sex!

@leathertool and like saying god made me straight lol bitch god made ever thing

[tabithadee]

@Soulmaka2 It's funny I gonna asume your a non beliver do you evn read your bible cause if you do read the new testiment:) That will help you, and no god doesn't like violence infact no christian is suppose to insult or hurt a gay person, however being gay is a sin I'm sorry to say that. It is says in the bible that women must wear a bonnet and dress to their ankels, but we'er not going hell because we don't do that:)

Perhaps being Gay isnt a choice.After all,who in their right mind would want to do something so terriblly horrific and disgusting unless they were made that way?

I hear that God makes Homosexuals merely to fall,like drones.They exist merely for God to show his power.He will destroy them to prove God is who he says he is.

2:05: If someone works on the Sabbath it is our moral obligation to kill them''.

Wrong. There is nowhere in the Bible that says it like that.

He is referring to Exodus 31:15 (i believe): Where Moses says to the Jews that everybody who will work on Sunday, would be, according to him, be put to death by God.

There is NOWHERE in the Bible that actually calls upon the reader to kill a person when he or she works on Sunday.
