Will god destroy gays and lesbians?

Answer 1

If you believe in God, you have to believe that She made them that way on purpose. So She doesn't hate them. GOD is not a she. People are not born gay and yes GOD hates gay people. Read the bible. Its called revalations

Answer 2

It's pretty risky to try to speak for God, but I'd say "No." The scientific evidence strongly suggests that gay and lesbian and bisexual people were made that way, just like straight people were made straight. So if you're a believer, you have to accept the fact that God loves all Creation.

Somewhat conservative answer:

According to Christianity, God loves those whom He has a personal relationship with. The relationship is the issue, not sexual orientation. Those with this view tend to see sexual orientation as a consequence of the curse of sin, thus making it a symptom more so than a sin. Christians with this view tend to see that as a matter between whatever individual and God.

God hates only sin, not individuals. Some argue that homosexual conduct is sinful. Whether it actually is sinful or not is beyond the scope of this question. Sinful individuals tend to do what they can to call their sinful behavior anything but sinful. An alcoholic will likely quote verses like the passages on judging and the passage where Paul told Timothy that it was okay to use alcohol for medicinal purposes. Being born with particular leanings does not mean one has a free pass to practice their sin of choice. About 70% of alcoholics are said to be born with that leaning, but nobody is arguing that they get a free pass to drive while intoxicated. Of course, this is not a perfect metaphor since drunk driving and alcoholic homes harm other people. While some may argue that gay sexuality harms the participants, one has to keep in mind that we are discussing consenting adults. Obviously rape and underage sex are wrong regardless of the genders of those involved.

It is hard to say whether any of this applies to LGBT people, but one thing for certain is that God does not condone hatred or hateful actions against anyone, gay, straight, lesbian, trans or otherwise.

No. If there is a god, then he created everyone, including gays and lesbians. He will not destroy anything he has created, because he looked at his creation and saw that it was good.
