God love gay people
Should a Christian have gay friends?
Answer
In considering whether a Christian should have gay friends, we demand to ask ourselves whether Jesus would have gay friends. The New Testament nowhere identifies any specific individuals as homosexuals. So, there are no records of Jesus interacting with a homosexual. We know from the gospels, however, that Jesus loved everyone He encountered. He did not consider one group of people less deserving of the gospel than any other. In reality, He went out of His way to deliver a demon-possessed man (Mark –20) and transport hope to an immoral noun from a despised ethnic background (John 4). He healed lepers (Luke –19), pardoned an adulteress (John –11), and ate with tax collectors (Mark )—all of whom were considered unfit for the company of righteous people. We can assume Jesus would have spent time with homosexuals as well.
Homosexuality was a sin in Jesus’ day, and it is a sin now. God’s standards of human sexuality include not changed. However, Jesus came to seek and to store the lost (Luke ). We learn from the gentle way H
How To Show God&#;s Love To The Gay Community
How does the love of God, as demonstrated in the gospel, inform how we share Christ to those in the gay community around us? In this video, speaker, author, and Bible professor, Dr. Christopher Yuan, seeks to reply that question and how Christians can better love their gay brothers and sisters.

How does the love of God, as demonstrated in the gospel, inform how we share Christ to those in the gay community around us?
I think at first, we need to recognize how the world right now is emphasizing love. You’ve probably heard the phrase, &#;God is love&#;. And that is so important, yes, God is love, but that&#;s not all God is.
We also need to recognize, is there a difference between maybe a secular understanding of love? In other words, just kind of be and let be. And is that different from God&#;s understanding of love that says, &#;For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son&#; (John ). That adoration also means Romans 5, that He loved us, not
God doesn’t whisper on sexual sin. His love for sinners keeps him from doing that. He doesn’t whisper on sexual sin—because he doesn’t whisper on his love for sinners.
God isn’t ashamed of the gospel. He isn’t embarrassed by his word. He isn’t anxious about telling people good things that might offend them. God isn’t afraid to tell the truth about sexual sin.
God isn’t tempted to lean about pornography, fornication, adultery—and especially, homosexuality and transgenderism.
He loves sinners too much for that. God isn’t tempted to hide his love, mercy, and grace from homosexual and transgender people. God isn’t like you and me. God loves LGBTQ people more than we do. So we should act like it.
This month is, of course, Pride month. Our culture celebrates homosexuality and transgenderism. Our neighbours celebrate and parade evil as nice and good as evil. Therefore many Christians are increasingly tempted to become sympathetic or supportive of homosexuality and transgenderism.
A scant days ago, a person sent me a message asking:
“On the topic of sin and homosexuality I wanted yo “God is love.” This is one of those things everybody’s heard. Sometimes you sense like it’s the most profound thing in the world; sometimes you feel like it’s a stale marshmallow, sweet at first but then dissolving on your tongue into bland nothingness. But as I’ve gotten to recognize LGBT people who were raised in Christian families, I’ve started to see how this incredibly common sentiment can damage people’s hearts and lives — because they were taught that the God of love couldn’t thank them. If you’re an LGBT person who was raised Christian, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ve never heard a leader in your church welcome LGBT people, trusting that people love you were in the pews and encouraging their faith. You’ve had to try to comprehend both your sexuality and your faith in the midst of misinformation and deadly silence. I’m coming to all this as a lesbian convert to Catholicism. I didn’t grow up in the Church; I was introduced to God and to faith by people who genuinely did not act as though my sexual orientation separ
