God hates is a strange expression to me also and a wrong one.
The whole homo***ual ranting is so very tiresome to me.  It's as though 
folks have chosen that as their favorite sin, and by God quoting Scripture

that are absolutely _right_ about it!
Christians are told: "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for

it is God is at work in both to will and to work for his good pleasure." 
Philippians 2:12.  Who can be so sure that they have the absolute last
word 
on another's salvation?  Other than God, that is.  And the issue sidelines

every other extremely pressing issue:  The poor, downtrodden.  The real
evil 
of the issue is that going on and on about it makes people angry, and mean

and it polarizes Christians.  Paul wrote in the context of his life and 
times.  I truly believe that.  I have to or as a woman I'd have to keep my

mouth shut in church, or not be welcome there either.

Charity in all things.
Blessings,
Ann
