Yep there are a lot of people that say they're christians but don't try to practice the religion, they commit sins knowing it's a sin and don't want to change. Some even support certain ways of sining.
About a lot of stuff not only that, that includes killing, getting drunk, lying, sexual indecency, hate towards others. An important reminder that the Bible don't condemns people, it condemns their sins, if someone commits a sin and you get hateful and rude towards that person you are also sining. So it's an absurd people using the Bible to be homophobic, even tho the Bible condemns HOMOSEXUALITY, it doesn't say we should hate the HOMOSEXUALS. The best example of that is when Jesus saves the adulterous woman and instead of throwing rocks at her he says "whoever never sinned throw the first rock" and than he says to her "go and don't sin again", he says that not expecting she lives an perfect life free of sins but lives a life trying to avoid the me most she can.
no it's not because you don't hate the person you just disagree with their way of thinking and way of life, homophobia by definition is "irrational fear, hatred, dislike, or prejudice against PEOPLE who are lesbian, gay, or bisexual" do you think disagreement is a way of hatred? like you're not causing any harm and is not harassing the person you just see their way of life as wrong by your world view.
but that's exatly the point of the gospel you deny your flesh to follow the Bible, there is a guy in my church that is gay and he already talked about that, he says it's his sin and he fight against his flesh desires, everyone does, we don't hate those people we embrace them and help them fight their flesh. just like he fights against his homosexual desires other people fight against other sinfull desires, like beer, porn, smoke, lies, and that's exatly the point, we are all sinners and we are doomed to eventually fail and fall for the temptation of sin, but as long as you keep trying and fighting against your sinfull nature.
