I'm gay. This is who I am and pretending this is not who I am will not fool me or God, and it would not be right to try to fool God anyway. However since God sees all things and I try in all other respects to be the best Christian and person I can be I have faith that He will see that.
Also if you want to get married in the eyes of the lord you need at least 100 Philistine foreskins. You people and your word of god, LOL!
because the bible is literal and we must believe everything it says to the letter! No metaphors. Ever.
"Holy Bible condemns homosexuality? YES! " also says to kill people for picking up sticks on Sunday, and to hate your mother and father... ect..ect... the buffet is open to people to pick and choose
Still waiting for some examples here on the boards of Conservatives Christians condemning Divorce....still waiting for the thread that points out that Jesus condemns divorce and those that would divorce. Like I said from the beginning- and which you have yet to refute- Conservative Christians here on the boards start thread after thread condemning homosexuality- because it is against God's will.....yet none of you ever start a single thread condemning Divorce. And of Homosexuality and Divorce- which is the one specifically condemned by Jesus himself. Thats right- Divorce.
What's so hard to understand/interpret about this, please explain: 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Garbage talk. It's specifically talking about the natural use of the woman's and man's bodies. the constant reprinting of the Bible they(Publishers) are everso gradually twisting the scriptures to the point that there's a Gay Bible out there. which is utter Blasphemy. they will be destroyed for this. you bet your buns. My advice to you is go grab an OFFICIAL 1611 Holy Bible or an OFFICIAL King James Version and get the straight truth and not read those garbage versions such as the NIV, NRV, etc... Blame the Catholic/Protestant/Baptist churches for this. they are twisting scriptures daily to build up their congregations. it's all about money for them. not keeping scriptures in the correct context.
Start one on Divorce. I'm there. But don't try to derail this topic. this topic is focusing on immoral sexual activity. stay on topic or kick rocks. and like I said. start a topic on Divorce and quit trying to derail this topic dealing ONLY with HOMOSEXUALITY
Obviously I don't, or I wouldn't still be asking. If you would be kind enough to repeat your answer, I'd appreciate it. Whether or not homosexuality is a sin depends on the religion and the sect involved. Your interpretation of the Christian Bible is not the only religion out there. You are free to believe homosexuality is a sin; that's irrelevant to my question. As for the children of gay parents, study after study has shown them to be at least as well-adjusted, on average, than children of straight parents. I'm not pretending there is no New Testament. What I want to know is how you know which Old Testament passages still apply and which don't, point me to the New Testament language explaining that distinction, and show how it includes Leviticus 18 but not Leviticus 19.
Here's why they buck the truth: Romans 1: 28-31 28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
hey you!!!, start a thread on any one of those you want but stop trying to derail this one. we are only talking about homosexuality in this thread!! don't make me report you for trying to thread jack!!!
are you serious? HEY FCUKBREATH START A NEW THREAD ON THAT AND I'LL GLADLY COME AND SCHOOL YOU, BUT STOP TRYING TO THREADJACK THIS ONE OK?!!!!
100% Ignorance. If heterosexual activity is bad, then you should be put to death, because your parents made a boo boo.
Well, I got no dog in this fight. But I must say that there sure are some "better than thou" people on this thread making Jesus and religion and all that, look pretty bad. I would think that's a lot worse than being a queer. I'd rather have a queer living next door to me than them. Speck/plank... all that stuff, ya know. Just sayin'.
It also condemns adultry and eating shellfish and a host of other things even the religious right ignore. So what's your point?
Didn't you get the memo? Unless you are here to bash gays, in the name of God, you need to start your own thread.
