If you want to know what God is accepting of and what He isn't...

read your Bible. He reserved "abomination" to describe homosexuality. It is pretty clear that means He is not accepting of the practice. That does not mean He does not love them...God loves all sinners, why else would He sacrifice his son for ALL of us? God hates sin...ALL sin. But He loves sinners. However....He also wants us to understand that sin is wrong and to try to turn from it...and try every day. If we were capable of completely turning from sin on our own, it would not have been necessary that he sacrifice His son. He did that to cover us all...that includes those of us who lie (and who doesn't), those of us who steal, who kill, who commit ANY kind of sin...and yes, those of us who practice homosexuality. I did not call it a sin, God did, and in no uncertain terms. Yes, God created us in His own image...does that mean he made murderers murderers so we should accept that? Thieves thieves so we should accept that? Liars liars so we should accept that? No. Does He love them? Yes. Does He want them to return to Him...yes. As He said...He is not willing that any should perish, not even one. The Bible is clear on that too...there is only one prerequisite. Believe on the name of Jesus and you shall be saved. Not you might be saved, not you could be saved...you shall be saved. God is a liar...or He isn't. I believe He isn't. You believe Him...or you don't. I believe Him. And yes...it IS that simple.
