Question
QUESTION: Well, I don't know if I'm gay or not.  Just to tell you I'm a woman.
But, does God truly hate you for loving a woman?
Is it any worse to have sex before marriage with a woman then with a man?
What if you did everything right, but you were married to a woman would you go to HELL?
What if you loved a women, but didn't do anything with them like kiss them would you go to Heaven?
If you had feelings for a woman, but never did anything would God be truly HAPPY?
Where in the Holy Bible does it talk about gays and life styles?
Please if you have answers please tell me.


ANSWER: Thankyou for your question Karen

 I will attempt to answer your questions to the best of my ability.  First God does not hate anybody, God hates sin.  It is sin that will separate us from God and never anything to do with sex, race, or genetics.  Now homosexuality is a sin and you can not inherit the Kingdom of God with that kind of lifestyle (I Corinthians 6:9).  According to Genesis God made man for woman and woman for man but when people go their own way to love or lust after those things that are not ordained by God they must repent and turn back to God.  Read Romans 1:18-32, it talks about how man turns from God to do their own thing, and how God game them over to it, or allowed it to happen, it includes homosexuality.  But their is a penalty to live in sin and that sin is death (Romans 6:23). The kind of death that will separated you from God eternally.  The main point is if you are I want to get to heaven, we must obey God.  There will be no shortcuts. So to get your questions of doing everthing right but being married to a woman if you are a women you can't get to heaven because you disobeyed God here on earth.  And if you loved a woman even if you did not do anything with them it is still a sin because Jesus instructed us that if you even have those kind of thoughts it is still akin to committing the actual act.  God loves us all but He has His Word and me must obey and if we live any lifestyle (homosexual, liers, cheater, racist, sexist, elitist etc..)that opposite of God wants us to live (especially if we are believers of His word) then me must repent and turn back to God, because he forgives all and gives humanity time to repent and turn.

QUESTION: Din't God make us why did he make us wrong or gay?

Answer
Yes it is true that God made all of us, but he did not make us wrong or gay.  We as human being are wrong when we violate God's will as He reveals it in his word.  IF you are a believer in that word you will repent and turn back to God when you do wrong.  People who live in sin and expect God to take it easy on them have got the wrong idea about God.  God loves those who have chosen a homosexual lifestyle, but THEY have chosen that lifestyle, God did not "make" people like that or "make" that lifestyle for people to live.  It is a direct violation against God to live in any sinful lifestyle (gay, cheater, adulterer, lier, covetous....the list could go on).  So, any sinful lifestyle must be turned around and lived the way God would want us to, because He would want all to be saved, but we all must be saved in the way He has chosen and not just live any way we want and expect God to overlook a sinful lifestyle.
