What's truly sad is your use of scripture as a weapon."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." Romans 1:28
"Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth -- men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected." 2Timothy 3:8
"They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good." Titus 1:16
This would almost be laughable if it were not so tragically sad.You're using your contentment as a measure of right and wrong? If you and your girlfriend are fornicating and you are feeling at peace about the fornication, you should be concerned.

You batter people with verses like those above. Those verses apply equally to you. What you do to others with scripture is detastable, disobedient and depraved.
So be it. Do you ignore the roles given to us by Jesus? Or do you elect each other to certain roles?
I didnt indicate you were.I am NOT a racist. Do not assume something like that, just because of a simple question. I'm not some hate mongering tactician trying to bring ruin upon you. I belong to God just as you do.
I really hope homosexuality/pedophilia is NOT inborn, because the sickos in our world (Some who would even call themselves Christians) would someday be able to kill it before being born. ><;
He is very clear,
Romans 1:27 (New International Version)
27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
(for some reason this is often overlooked)
God IS clarifying it through the faithful witness of millions of gay Christians.
However, as was true with the Israelites, and the Pharisees, God's word fell on deaf ears.
I must revisit this post, because I forgot to address the last sentence.
In what sense is God at all clear about "everything else?"
Why, then, do we have theologians? Why do we constantly have to wrangle over "the problem of evil?" Why do babies die? Why x, y, z?
God leaves a way open so that we may enter into intimate relationship with him. If there were no questions, we would not need answers, and would feel self-sufficient.
Thank you for your response
I think while I disagree with your opinion that you have quite a reasonable way of putting your beliefs across in real life if this is the way you do conduct yourself in regards to homosexuality.
What would you say about those Christians who do protest homosexuality, campaign against them, freak out if they meet a gay person etc.. ?
The fact that he still got his ticket out of town before the fireworks started.
Remember Mrs Lot got punished for the grievous sin of hiving concern for others. SO God was obviously paying attention.
So if you are going to use the myth of Sodom to try to justify your personal prejudices you are left support child sexual abuse at the same time.
Wow…you are actually excusing the sexual molestation of children. truly sick.
I sincerely hope you have no access to children
Take it up with God cause that's who your issue is with.
God's Word is used the way He says it is to be used. You, like most, just don't appreciate the finality of someone telling you that sin is sin and backing it up with God's irrefutable Word.
YOUR interpretation of it, perhaps. But you have time to grow yet.His word disagrees with you.

It only becomes wrong when one ignores literal and contextual translationHe is clear that it is wrong. That question was geared toward the people who believe scripture says homosexuality is ok.
I didnt. You are mitigating child sexual abuse, the gang rape of children to justify your petty personal prejudices.way to take what I said totally out of context.
Lot offering of his daughters to be gang raped is as sick and morally degenerate as your defense of such things.You understand that when I said "his neighbors, the people around him affected him" means that it affected his moral code. He was still more righteous than the men of Sodom and Gomorrah, but he was also still affected by their immorality in his actions. I explained this earlier.
And now you are justifying rape. Again you must be horribly desperate to justify hatred to stoop so low.The verses you gave as 'evidence' that God doesn't care about men raping women don't even apply if you understand what you are reading.
Interesting statement coming form someone using the bible to justify personal prejudiceI do not 'enjoy' the idea of killing people. It is also sad that you enjoy speaking malice about God and His word.
Ignoring the multiple times this has been done and what was you response to them? Oh yes you chose to ignore them because they didnt back up your prejudice.I also refuse to reply to you again, because instead of providing actual scripture to support your claims (in context, where it works) you just throw out misguided insults. You are truly a sick person in need of help.
I mean in a gay marriage, does one take the "wife" and "husband", or it is disregarded..
I didnt indicate you were.
However you didnt answer my question: Im opposed to racism as well. Do you think that makes me black?
equating homosexuality with pedophilia as you are doing here is a tactic long used by racists to justify their own hatreds. Non-whites would be compared to or associated with criminals, usually sexual criminals.
You protest that you are not a racists yet you employ the same tactics of racists.
Maybe they dispense with roles and are happy just being themselves.I mean in a gay marriage, does one take the "wife" and "husband", or it is disregarded..
Did you assume someone was gay?I don't understand, not being racist makes you black? Or makes me assume you're black?
Very well saidWhat's truly sad is your use of scripture as a weapon.

This isnt true.His word. I also refuse to reply to you again, because instead of providing actual scripture to support your claims (in context, where it works) you just throw out misguided insults.
YOUR interpretation of it, perhaps. But you have time to grow yet.
God does not disagree with me - God has blessed me.
