Would Jesus Discriminate? A lot of people believe what they have been told about the Bible. Some take time to look for themselves. Here's a thought or two to help you get started... 
The disciples said to Jesus, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry." Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others have been made eunuchs; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it." (New International Version, Matthew 19:10-12)
Biblical scholars have often pointed to passages about eunuchs and acknowledged that some are born that way--not to have sexual relations with the opposite gender. It is not how they were created; it is not how they were born. Basically, they were born gay. And apparently, Jesus said so. | Ready for more? Check this out...  This passage speaks again about a eunuch, this time from Ethiopia--the man was both a foreigner, a Black man, and a gay man. He was even put in charge of the queen's court! If the eunuch from Ethiopia were a foreigner in today's church, would he have been welcomed? If the eunuch were one who was a eunuch by choice, would he have been placed in the inner sanctum of the queen's court? This is why scholars agree that he was probably gay. And yet when he asked what would prevent him from being baptized, it was time to stop the chariot and find the first available source of water! Whether citizenship, or physical disabilities, or mental challenge, or gender, or sexual orientation, let nothing stand in the way of someone hearing the good news of God's grace and love in Jesus. Jesus died for the whole world...period. No ifs, no ands, no buts. It really is true: Jesus loves you just as you are. | What about Romans 1:21-28?
To understand the passage from Romans, it would help to have a bigger picture of Paul and the point of the entire book. For our purposes here, let's focus on the first chapter. In it Paul condemns idol worshipping and engages the initial readers in condemning those who do all kinds of things, starting with idolatry, worshipping anyone and anything other than God. The list goes on to include gossips, children who disrespect ordisobey their parents, and the arrogant and haughty, as well aslustful behavior that has no love in it. Bottom line in this chapter is that Paul writes of pagans or idolaters, not of believing Christians. Furthermore, he clearly does not speak of gay or lesbian people (or any sexual oriention) that seeks to establish a loving, committed relationship. Ultimately, in Paul's own long-winded rhetorical genius, he is leading his audience to realize their reliance solely on the grace of God in Christ Jesus. He finally arrives at this point in Romans 3:21-24, when he reminds the self-righteous judging people of an essential truth that is true of them as well as of all people: But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus...(New American Standard)
And so, once again we are all equal before God. This is by God's own decree in the marvelous message of Jesus Christ. For More Information May we suggest coming to see us?
