As a spinoff thread to my LGBTQ thread there is something I need to know. Why do a lot of Christians treat members of the LGBTQ community and people who commit suicide as guilty of committing the unforgiveable sin?

Two completely different topics;
1) Regards a preference of Same Gender Sexual Attraction.
2) Regards a Choice to End ones Physical Life.

Your question is ABOUT a Christians TREATMENT (or IOW) How an Individual Christian Understands What:
THE "UNFORGIVABLE" SIN IS.
and Their

Gender- or Gender Attraction has Nothing to DO with "the UNFORGIVABLE" Sin.

Suicide- has nothing to DO with "the UNFORGIVABLE Sin.

•Unforgivable Sin is Rejection to Believe in the Lord God Almighty, before physical Death.

A man's choices reflect positive or negative consequences are "his" to bear.

We bear "consequences" for our "choices".
Good and bad "consequences"...from God.
Good and bad "consequences"...from men.

Gal 6:
[5] For every man shall bear his own burden.

People will disagree with other people....
However...the Highlight is A Relationship "between" ONE Individual and God".... not what other people "think" about "another individual" and Gods Relationship or wondering about the lack thereof a Relationship.

In these days, Zealots, if they are following the Jewish Zealot pattern, they are the extremists who are the suicide bombers, shooting up mosques, attacking the Congress building, looting and burning in the name of the BLM movement. Jesus didn't do any of these things, and He would never have approved of the modern day equivalent.

Of course.
WE are to "do good unto all men, and especially the brethren".

This allows for some harsh correction, but it does not allow for what the Catholic Church does..
They burn people alive, and similar.
For example, Joan of Ark, and Jean Guyon.
NOW, of course.....in the Catholic History books...its lists them among their chosen "Saints"< but before they did this, they burned Joan of Ark to death, and put Jean Guyon in the Bastille in France for 7 yrs. They forced her to stop teaching about the Holy Spirit and PRAYER, until she died, and because she agreed, they let her out of that cave prison they kept her in for 7 yrs.
Now she's one of their "saints' according to their "history of saints".

= Pathetic.

It is interesting that when Pope John Paul II visited the United States, he spoke of unity and tolerance between Catholics and Protestants - that we should find common ground. But when he went to countries in South America where the Roman Catholic church was dominant, he spoke of absolute intolerance toward Protestants in those countries, and his speeches resulted in Protestant churches being burned and many members of those churches attacked, assaulted and killed. So the abuse and murder by Catholics on Protestants is not just historical, it is happening in countries today that are dominated by the Roman Catholic church.

The "holy father" has many Masks.
He chooses the appropriate one to wear, regarding the appropriate audience.

If he is talking to Baptists, in FLORIDA.... he is not going to talk about Mary.
But if he's in south america, he'll find a 30ft statue of the "blessed virgin" to hug and kiss for a Photo OP.

i myself dislike gays and gay stuff it's gross but it was like you are blaming the person for it's appearance he never wanted to be gay or if i rephrase he never wanted to be ugly he was born like that how can you just blame them like they wanted those things to happen it's up to God to be the judge but still we all should remember

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Newsflash! If either of those things was the unforgiveable sin Jesus would have come right out and said that it was but no the only unforgiveable sin is rejecting Christ and having an unrepentant heart until you die so I fail to understand why Christians automatically assume that if you're gay or you commit suicide you're going to Hell

About suicide: hHow could a person who committed suicide, ask for forgiveness? They are already dead..I mean you don't ask for forgiveness before you committ the act. That's like asking for forgiving before killing someone else. That's not godly sorrow. Is not suicide completely the opposite of faith? This person has no hope, they are basically not trusting God with their life, how it turned out or where it is going. THEY DO NOT HAVE FAITH AT ALL. We are saved by Grace through faith. When we believe in Christ and put our faith in Him, aren't we trusting our lives in His care?
Next, homosexuality is not an unforgivable sin. That means that they have an opportunity to stop what they are doing, repent and ask for forgiveness at any time before death - hopefully asap. When they do, God will then help them change, heal and be a new creature.
Romans 1 tells us that after many opportunities given to sinners (including homsexuals), there comes a time when God gives them over to their lusts - HE LET'S THEM GO. And that's It, they are considerd reprobates. Now we have no idea if or when this will happen. So we must assume God hasn't done that yet and continue to pray for them, witness, evangelize until the Holy Spirit tells us to move on and brush the dirt off our sandals.
My half brother, home I was not close with, died of AIDS, because he chose that lifestyle and did not repent - as far as I know. I visitued him in the hospit probably a mknth before he died and he was still asking his mom to play gay porn flicks while dimentia had just about reduced him to a man with a child's mind. I doubt I will see him in heaven. It is possible that before his death, he repented. God could have drawn him in his last moments and given him clarity - I dont know.
At least he admitted that if he never had sex (by choice), He would not have been a homosexual.

Have a look at who can not enter into the Kingdom of God, yes there is a list in fact.
Now ask yourself why is it that the ones on the list can not enter ?
Well they are not worthy of God in fact, so it's impossible for such to enter into the Kingdom of God or even Heaven because they are a blight and a curse to God, because they are of this world. full of deceptions and they are only to glad too work deceptions.

All Gays are Sodom, their path will clearly lead to Sodom and we can see the great influence that they have made on the youth nowadays, Anal sex is right up there in the depravity of this generations young, even the ones who claim they are not Gay are Sodomites in fact, oh the rate of the pox etc has gone up hugely nowadays and the depravity of rubbish like on line so called dating. yep I hear all this nonsense that manly the young peddle, some my age are promoting such as well nowadays.
They feel as tho they are empowered by such derangement, they really do ! and they try to lord it over anyone aggressively exceedingly so, it's just like we seen in the story of Sodom, they demand all to look up to them and will attack in everyway that they can to undermine all they can that's how the deranged and demonic works, you shall know them by their works Bible says, so never back up anything that is demonic.
I have pointed out to them that in my forefathers days such was a death sentence to catch the pox. oh yes nowadays they can help you, but I know of many who have got the pox many a time and they now bed wetters and the Gays well I will not inform you of what happens to them.

Do not go about bagging people who are following Gods ways, regardless of what this depraved society is peddling, they are deserving of Hell, because they are of Satan. they are deranged and only lead a society into depravity and hellfire. I know their works, they love depravity because they are degenerates, there works are based on malice. they work to undermine everything, true Marriage under Christ Jesus for one has been attacked first with the protestants bastardisation attack on Jesus words as to such and then too the nonsense we have now supporting a deranged blasphemy.
Oh yes they are working towards Hellfire that is to come by the Godless, all history proves such will end in the down fall due to such idiots who turn there back on God, The Jews did it every time they turned their backs on God, Jesus came and God Kicked them out of the Land and now all the fools claim the Jews have come back to the Land is Gods doing ? how can that be ! the reason why they got kicked out now has been for given ? by who ! Man :eek::rolleyes: but as to God ? does God play games :rolleyes: C'mon, only Man plays games and deceptions. Jesus never did nor God in the Bible. People claim that the commandments are not to be regarded, that's blasphemy !

Notice: I think that I am leaving this topic as well as I've already stated where I stand with everything and I'm getting bored and tired of having to repeat myself,.. that is unless somebody says something new that interests me.
