WHY DO SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT GOD HAT GAYS?
People who believe that God hat gays are ually basg on a verse the Hebrew Bible/Old Ttament, (Levic 18:22), which says that is an "abomatn" for a man to lie wh another man. From this, some relig people have cid that God spis all gay people. There are a number of fundamentalist relig groups who hold this terpretatn. (Fundamentalists are people who e a leral terpretatn of scriptur --they clu some Evangelil Christians, some Orthodox Jews, and some nservative Mlims). The people believe beg gay is a s and that gay people should eher stop beg gay or will receive eternal punishment. You n hear a number of nservative preachers who exprs this all people of fah are nservative, and not all of them believe gay people are gog to hell; but many do believe is a s to be gay. Of urse, there are also morate and liberal Christians, Jews, and Mlims who do not believe beg gay is a choice; they accept the view of science that a person is born gay, and they believe God lov people as they are, as long as those people live a life of passn and goodns. But the ma reason some people of fah oppose of (rather than hate) beg gay is that they fd vers of disapproval both the Hebrew Bible and New Ttament; and for believers, God has spoken and they accept what he has 2People say God hat gays bee they are ignorant of what the Bible teach.

Not all people who nsir themselv gay actively practice homosexualy. So if a man choosg to lie wh another man is abomable, then what do God have agast those who have such leangs but who choose to obey God and rea? There are people who twist the Bible to jtify their own hatred. The real issue here is salvatn. If you've asked Christ to e to your heart and take over your life, then God don't hate you. You will have a new nature, and you will be able to obey is no evince the Bible that God actively created anyone to be gay. Some people still believe that most gayns is due to environmental factors after one is born, though the ocsnal hormone imbalance the womb occurs. But jt bee certa leangs are ma easier, don't make them right. The Bible nmns alholism, and up to 70% of alholism is said to be born. People AA regnize that some may be born as alholics, but they still promote total abstence om alhol. * god hates gay *
