Homosexuality is a sin that separates the sinner from God. By no means should we not love homosexuals. They are still in desperate need of God's love, just like we are. Do you best to show him Christ and don't ignore the opportunity God has provided you to witness to him. Good luck, it will not be easy!

There is only one way to reach any person, whether he is a homosexual, an adulterer, a fornicator, idolater, drunkard, etc, and that is to teach him the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Read 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 -- look at the sins those Christians had formerly committed and lived in. It's some pretty bad stuff (some worse than others in our eyes), but all were changed by the message of the cross of Jesus Christ (1 Cor 1:17-30).

The preachers in the book of Acts pointed their audience to Jesus Christ. This is true of:

Peter -- Acts 2:22-36; 3:11-26; 4:1-4; 4:5-12; 5:25-32; 10:34-43
Stephen -- Acts 6:8; Acts 7:51-53
Philip -- Acts 8:5; Acts 8:35
Paul -- Acts 9:1-22; Acts 13:14-39

Like the early preachers, we must first show forth the attributes of Jesus in our own lives. People need to see that we have "been with Jesus" so to speak (Acts 4:13). Only then can we teach them the saving message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

When one genuinely considers the life, sacrifice, and authority of Jesus (Luke 6:46; Matthew 7:21-27; Matthew 28:18-20), they will be willing to forsake any sin standing between them and the Lord.

everyone u will meet in heaven is ur neighbor. no one is sure they will be in heaven. Love in its purest form is given only by Jesus.

therefore u as a un-perfect lover have to survive and look at the situation. Its better to survive till ur old, then to rush with some foolish action thinking u justified some pure idea.
