God accepts gays and lesbians...
He accepts ALL SINNERS if they turn away from their sins and ask for forgiveness.
A gay is a person who has chosen a path of sin.
A lesbian is a person who has chosen a path of sin.
A murderer can come into the kingdom of God if he repents, and asks for forgiveness, and accepts Jesus Christ as their personal savior, and SINS no MORE.
If the person who has chosen a path of sins TURNS fro that path and decided on another path without sin, and does the rest, then they can also enter the kingdom of heaven.
God does not hate the sinners. He hates the SIN.
Committing a homosexual act is in God's eyes an abomination.

GOD can give you strength to NOT act on these sinful temptations.
And yes, it is OK to be attracted to animals A person can be attracted to animals and enter into Gods Kindom. Unless they ACT on these attractions, they have not sinned. Bestialities is an ACTION not a way of life. It IS a sin.
We don't here anymore about NOT giving in to the Devil's Temptations. Why Not?
Don't give in to temptation and you will NOT Sin.
It is the CHOICE of disobedience which is what you get Punished for. If you believed in God, and have chosen to be obedient to God, then you will not choose to give into temptation. Then you will not sin.
The next time you look at a person of the opposite sex lustfully, understand that you HAVE a CHOICE NOT to act on those Feelings.
YES, I am sure Many people have entered into the priesthood because they CHOSE to be celibate. They decided having NO SEX at all was better than risking eternal Damnation because they gave into temptation and had homosexual Sex.
Remember, a Person is Not a Homosexual until they commit the Sin. SO it is OK for a priest to be a priest as long as he does not act on his homosexual tendencies. (we have read that many have given in and that is why the Church is getting sued about so many alter boy situations).
Your sins will be forgiven. Go and Sin no More.
Ala would have the person committing the homosexual act STONED to DEATH With no hesitation.

The Congress shall make no laws restrict the free expression there of.. And they don't, but the liberal judges think they are Higher than the laws and try to legislate from the bench.
A church can WELCOME all gays and lesbians. They also could say that they Welcome ALL sinners. Where do you think CONVERTS come from???
