Great thread and great responses.. blew me away ( also that bit from Les Miserables )

Yes, and I've already stated that God knew that the city of Sodom was already wicked-- which is why I make it a point that to exclusively identify homosexuality as the sin is something which you choose to interpret, not something which is explicitly condemning same-sex sex. If it is abundantly...

yes it is my view, however-- again I am not avoiding the issue. The idea that Lot would offer his daughters simply because he did not want the men of sodom to have homosexual sex doesn't seem to flow.. i mean, as i said before, you can take what you will from that passage, but what I believe was...

You're incredibly young for having to go through something so traumatic. I'm very sorry for your brother, and what happened.. the world is evidently, incredibly imperfect-- and even with our very best intentions we get caught by the jaws of some horrific things, ill-intentioned people, and...

I might agree with the going around in circles bit, but I am addressing the point. What i said was that the scriptures that you posted did not reference homosexuality. I explained the Sin of Sodom as I understood it, as it makes sense that way. Again, the logic of Lot offering his daughters...

Just showed up for my own life by Sara groves i really recommend her if you haven't heard her music before.. she's really one of my favorites.. right next to bethany dillon.

At the moment, "When it was over" by Sara Groves.. it really is an awesome song, it touches on so many things.. the second block of text in my sig atm is an excerpt from it.

I love this show :) My mother's a professional groomer so i watch it with her sometimes when I'm home. My favorite? Jorge. He's hilarious. And sweet. Though I like most of the people on the show..

God having created woman for man for the purpose of procreation does not explain that homosexuality is a sin. Plus, you make the erroneous, damaging, prejudiced and faulty analogy of comparing a homosexual to a pedophile. A pedophile acts upon sexual fantasies of children. This is obviously...

yes, but how this is relevant to children who are homeless and have an ample opportunity to be raised in a healthy environment by human beings who happen to be homosexual fails to connect to me but this depends on whether God considers homosexuality a sin, yes? The commandments are there to...

How do you know what God's purpose is, for each and unique individual? If this were a picture-perfect world where every child could have a roof over their heads, a mom and dad, lots of money, and the guarantee of a stable life there would be no problem. However, that isn't it. These children do...

i think this situation is a matter of wording; God doesn't base his "decisions" on the choices of humans.. instead he gave us Free Will, and that's the ability to decide for ourselves, using the body, spirit, mind he has given us .. instead of spoon feeding us what we "ought" to do and "ought...

um... nay.

oh, you're seconded on orthodoxy, some great insights also, of course.. the Chronicles of Narnia series.. very inspired allegorical stories.. C.S. Lewis rocks

Actually, it was an attempted rape of two angels, as you can read in this passage here, theres not really much debate about it : Genesis 19 The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down...
