I’ve tried to explain we should love all of God’s children, but we need to be honest about sin, and God’s word says a man lying with a man, or a woman lying with a woman, is a sin. Her reply stunned me ~~â€“~~ if God made us all, he made people to have same-sex attraction. Don’t we say that God is perfect? Why would God make people who were attracted to people of the same sex then say they couldn’t act on it? He’s dooming them to a life of loneliness or sin.		* Beth. Buffalo.
