But, as Christians, we're supposed to hold the words of Christ over all of the other parts of the Bible, since He is our Lord and Savior. And Christ never said anything about homosexuality, so I honestly don't see why so many people on here seem to think that Christians have to be anti-gay.

What would be so wrong about just letting people believe whatever they want? After all, it's not like you can prove that the Bible is "the truth." Frankly, I think the world would be a lot more peaceful if people weren't constantly trying to convert others to their religion.

I know what you mean about it being fast-moving. I left my computer to go get lunch & I was only away for about half an hour, and when I got back, the thread had grown by 5 pages. I was shocked, lol! ^_^

LittleTigress, is there a reason why you seem to be ignoring all of the posts I've made to you thus far?

I personally don't see anything wrong with inappropriate content at all, so long as it doesn't turn into an obsession, and so long as a person's partner is okay with them looking at it (if they have a partner, that is). But that's a whole other issue altogether. Seriously, though, why let it bother you that...

No, you misunderstand me. I was basically asking what exactly is so wrong about homosexuality, since all homosexuality is, is love.

My view of the Bible is that I try my hardest to follow the words of Christ (since I personally agree with His philosophies, and I do see Him as being my Lord and Savior), but I don't see the point in trying to follow the rest of the Bible, especially when we don't even know if it's accurate at...

But what exactly is so wrong about simply loving another person, regardless of that person's gender? After all, that's all homosexuality is, is love.

What makes you think that God doesn't want people to be homosexual, though, especially when the Bible isn't necessarily an accurate transcription of God's own thoughts and opinions?

Thunder Peel, I'm still waiting for a response.

How can you profess to be a Christian and then say that the Inquisition (which killed thousands of innocent human beings) was perfectly okay? Have you even ever read the Ten Commandments?

So you think that Christ would be completely okay with the fact that you don't support all of your brothers and sisters in Him? You think that shunning certain types of Christians is what He would do?

What do you mean, "the data stands against it"?

One last post before I go: The Bible never says to "hate the sin and love the sinner" (Gandhi actually came up with that phrase), so why do you think it's Biblical to do that? In fact, Christ himself never said anything about hatred being okay in any cases, so why not go by His word, instead of...

I think I'm going to bow out of this thread for now. My stomach is growling, so I'm going to head out and get myself some lunch. I do apologize for being hostile at all. Like I said, this is just an issue that I hold really close to my heart, and therefore, it's hard for me not to get really...

Yeah, I am trying to watch how I word things. It's odd, because right here and now, I'm as calm as could be (I'm actually a bit sleepy, to be honest), yet somehow I'm coming off as being argumentative and angry.

Sorry if I'm coming off as being combative. I just like to ask questions, is all. Honestly, I'm quite calm, sitting here at my computer. I apologize if I'm not doing a good job at conveying that, and I apologize if I've offended you at all. Like I said, though, judging another person's...

You know, I don't understand how it's loving at all to think of people as being "wicked" simply because the Bible says they are.

Who are you to say whether or not a person's faith is in the right place? Last time I checked, it's God's place to make that judgment, not yours.

So basically, you do think that your opinion is somehow more correct than mine is. It's that sort of arrogant mindset (I'm not calling you arrogant, BTW, just your mindset) that is pushing people away from Christianity by the droves these days.
