Well I'm sure God knew what he was doing either way.
This wasn't a rule God started, it was the old laws in the OT. When Jesus came to earth in the NT, He changed things, and revised, and did away w/the old law (except for the
10 Commandments). Read Romans 7 for further proof, we are not under the OT law.

They were not living with Christ's Spirit in the Old Testament...

Exactly! just as He created 450 other species and some of them are gay. Diversity! just as there are different skin colors, ethnic groups, languages, creeds, beliefs, ideas, creativity.....

I love the gay flag <3 :)

God didnt create homosexuals. God created Adam and Eve- then there was the fall of man, and what God made was permanently changed. This world, and its effects, are fallen. That is why we all need Jesus.

God is all powerful right? So EVEN IF we accept that homosexuality is a result of a literal "fall"... God still allowed homosexuality to become a part of the human condition.

Therefore... he approves of it

God allowed sin to enter the world, so God approves of sin?

Is this the logic you are sharing with me?

These were laws given by the prophets, so it was God.

That does not explain why someone has inclinations only to one sex.

You do not have any knowledge of with which you speak.

Prove that after the fall, homosexuals formed as a result of sin in Genesis. Prove it, you have the burden to prove that, and you haven't done it. You are all about commentary, and no $ action $.

Phrophets do not = God, sorry !!!

Jesus changed the old laws in the NT, so I don't know what you are proving here, except your lack of familiarity with Scripture.

God created Adam and Eve...they started the race, but what is your point with this?

He also created Steve, later on :)

Well... do you have a better explanation?

Yeah- the one that is consistent with Scripture that says God is against sin, and that sin was not in the world until the fall of man (along with a host of other things that also happened at the fall). Our bodies became sources of temptation to us at the fall- not everything we desire now is good.

K...a sexual orientation has nothing to do with sin, unless you want to bring up two men or women having sex outside of marriage.
