When is a Christian "homophobic" and when are they NOT "homophobic"??

Ok, so the colleges love to draw in the crowds and gain a lot of supporters through aggressive teachings on eliminating "homophobia."  Even some colleges which claim to be Christian colleges may cater to this agenda.  The unfortunate thing is that they are NOT explaining that people who practice "sexual impurity," or that which is against God's laws, can also show forth symptoms of violence!  They may also commit acts of antisemitism (another form of breaking God's laws....Nero was a law-breaker).  King David is a good example of this effect.  He -lusted-.  He -committed adultery-  Then he used violent force against another man to commit the act of -murder-.  Psalm 51 exemplifies this heart feeling in his act.  So in essence, he was a "law breaker."  People who practice sodomy are ALSO "law breakers."

So in essence, does being a "law breaker" prevent you from committing other sins?  No, it only enhances and encourages the act.

Does David, being "a Jewish man," prevent him from committing sin?  No.

Here is the thing to consider, King David was a Moabite.  The Moabites came from the people of Lot.  Lot lived in Sodom and Gomorrah.  His heart was affected by the conditions of the city, well into the point of having children with his own biological daughters!  His children continued to have children.  The Moabites continued to create havoc and committed acts of antisemitism against Israel repeatedly.  Moab is mentioned 151 times in the scripture, with Moabites mentioned 18 times.  Balak was a prominent and frequently mentioned king from Moab, he was mentioned 40 times in the scripture. Balaam who worked in agreement with Balak was mentioned 63 times!  So the conditions of Moab are mentioned quite frequently in the scripture as well as the prominent leaders and influencers: Balaam and Balak.

Considering that Jewish people were led by the "king of the Jews", the son of David, and David himself came from Moab through Ruth and Boaz, there IS evidence that it is WRONG to commit a complete act of homophobia, but to consider the after shock of being frequently around people who aggressively practice "sexual impurity."  Because Lot was around the conditions of "sexual impurity" it took MANY generations to remove the influences of that.  Ruth, the Moabite, NEEDED a redeemer to get away from the influences.

So when is a Christian "homophobic"? (Note: that some Christian bible believers have only the bare-minimum knowledge of their faith, and may not consider multiple factors)  It could be any, or more than one of the following: 1. When they are fearful of brotherly love.  2. When they are attacking a boy/girl in the age of development and changes in the voice.  3. When they aggressively murder, insult or harass a person who is practicing sexual impurity (law-less acts), unless their life is physically in danger.  4. When they are attacking a person who was brought up in a sexual impurity environment or experienced some sort of sexual impurity in their lifetime. Molestation, sex trafficking, sexting, Child-abuse etc. 5. When they insult a man or woman who is doing things opposite the nature and culture of their gender, so long as it is not enticing sexual impurity.  (Like a woman studies math and science at a college) 6. When they call someone a homosexual for simply not wanting to "date" or get physically closer to a certain individual at a certain time of their life.  7. When they deny that someone like "Ruth" who was a descendant of Lot, needed a redeemer etc etc.  .... I do believe that Franklin Grahm is being "homophobic" when he assumes that JEsus would say things, when the reality of the conditions are not there in this article.

When is a person NOT "homophobic"?  It could be any, or more than one of the following: 1. When they are sharing bible verses that forbid the practice of sexual-impurity  2. When they show KJV or "strict sounding" bible verses condemning the practice of homosexuality or any other manner of sexual impurity  3. When they are "loving God's laws" and ways.  4. When they approve of God's acts of eliminating the evil people in Sodom and Gomorrah.  5. When they are telling people to quit "lusting" (Jesus said when a man looks at a woman with lust, he is an adulterer).  6. When they are not interested in going to a "same sex wedding" or any other celebration they consider to have issues relating to "sexual impurity."  7. When they are not interested in watching, reading, or learning about certain people who practice homosexuality.  8. When they are condemning people who frequently use the word "homophobic" for being a Conservative bible believer 9. When they don't agree with the relationship conditions for people in tribal groups who practice polygyny, polyamoury, swinging, or open marriage, especially if there is infidelity or child abandonment.  10. When they do not approve of the general "Sodom and Gomorah" lifestyle.  11. When they are in favor of Jesus' words when he said Capernea was worse than "Sodom and Gomorah" 12. When they are living in, living among, speaking to people who are either Muslim or in Muslim majority countries or other countries that forbid the practice of homosexuality 13. If they are speaking against "sexual violence" practiced among those who are practicing sexual impurity in any way like sex-trafficking etc etc.

A person is and still can be a conservative bible believer (yet not in favor of the conditions of Sodom and Gomorrah)  if they are around any of these conditions when they are 1. expected to care for the sick in an employment situation 2. Serving in any place of employment and the employer wants them to do something that is ok with sexual impurity lifestyle, like bake a cake (for example: Wal-mart).  3. They work at a place of employment with people who use the services and they practice sexual impurity (like a bank, library, bookstore, hair salon etc.) 4. When they work at a school and the school itself teaches in favor of sexual impurity lifestyle (the individual who is employed may NOT teach in favor if they are Christian, however, or it goes against scripture truth).  5. When they watch a "health care teaching" video that teaches things about how to take care of a man or women in child-bearing, conception or sexuality practices in general.  (for example a man with prostate cancer needs to know how to fix his condition) 6. Around a couple that gives a same-sex kiss, hug or loving gesture (Christians can actually practice the "holy kiss") 7. If they need to learn a basic skill or gain knowledge about something in general or neutral terms (music lessons, cooking skills, employment skills etc).  The teacher seems, identifies or supports sexual impurity practices.  8.  If they purchase items from a store and the owner supports or practices such lifestyles......

Keep in mind sexual-impurity is an "abomination" and it is against nature, so it is NOT a thing that God favors as better than other conditions (brotherly and sisterly love is the favored condition).  People are NOT "born that way" because sexuality practices are based on "choice".....but LOVE is eternal.  People who cannot "practice their sexuality," like disabled people are STILL in need of LOVE!  If a person HATES those who warn others, then the person who HATES has the problem.  God doesn't want people to live in favor of SIN, but simply in favor of his son who died for SIN, what ever way a person looks at it.
