Through the negative looking glass follow up

I saw this story on Drudge today and it made me want to clarify what the Christian position should be on homosexuals and homosexuality. The portion of the article that caught my eye was this statement:

"But some students are publicly questioning the school's values, Kuder said. Many wore shirts yesterday with "God loves my gay friends" printed on them and are waiting for Johnson to let them know the best response to the university."

The answer to that is "of course He does!! He loves all His children with a surpassing love that a stupid T-shirt does not even begin to approach. There is a misconception that christians believe God hates homosexuals and further that Christians hate them as well. This is the lie that the public is told everytime a Christian person, group or Christian institution opposes homosexuality or homosexual relationships. The immediate cry from the Gay lobby is "Christians hate Gays", and "Christians preach intolerance and hate". This could not be farther from the truth. Let's be clear about something once and for all. We as Christians (true Christians) do not hate homosexual people, period. Nor are we told by scripture to hate them. In addition it is not individuals who are Christian that say being Gay is a sin and an abomination. It is God himself, through Holy scripture who proclaims all kinds of sexual immorality and particularly homosexuality a sin. If we as believers in this word can say that we "hate" anything, it is sin. Consequently, since we believe homosexuality is abhorent to God, it is then by nature abhorent to us as well if His spirit is truly living inside us. Which suits the term thusly, "Love the sinner, hate the sin".

Gay student expelled from Cumberland Baptist University

Now, with regard to this particular situation, a private university has the right to exclude a student, expel a student, or suspend a student for conduct that reflects poorly on it and its charter. It is sad that the student will now have to find a new school 3/4 of the way through the term, but perfectly legal and within the universities rights to expel him.
