[QUOTE="WayfaringCoyote, post: 75396115, member: 427516"] Aight, thanks for clarifying that. Just a case of semantics. Nothing I said was with the intention to harass or exclude you, and it didn't come from a place of hate. If I came off that way, then I'm sorry. I just figured I'd give you a heads up of "hey, maybe you should rethink this." When I said "pro-LGBT", I wasn't talking about the politics side of things, but more the beliefs side of things. It was just a means of summing up the nature of the situation I was in. And on the topic of Scripture, there's literally these verses of Leviticus that address it directly: [URL="https://biblia.com/bible/nasb95/leviticus/18/22-30"]Leviticus 18:22–30 NASB95 - ‘You shall not… | Biblia[/URL] I've heard it argued that "the old laws don't apply anymore thanks to Jesus fulfilling the law", and that's partially true... except that there are laws in Leviticus that are [I]moral[/I] laws that still apply because they deal with morality, and the one concerning homosexuality is part of the moral laws. Also, Jesus himself stated that marriage is between a man and a woman. If sex is only lawful under marriage, and marriage is explicitly between a single man and a single woman, then that leaves little room for anything else. I'm not saying this to be rude, but I think you're choosing to see things where they don't exist, or refusing to see things where they do exist. That's exactly what I did when I had your viewpoint. I understand that you wouldn't be able to have a fulfilling relationship with a girl, and I'm not suggesting that you try either. I'm not the kind of person that thinks you can just change attraction. Your attraction is a part of you, yes, but it's still a choice whether you indulge in it or not. Once again, natural inclination =/= justification. I'd appreciate it if you didn't lump me in with the people that you've described. As confrontational as I may seem, I'm not here to throw you to the metaphorical floor, and if I wanted to leave you to rot I would've left by now. I'm not trying to put you down or treat you lesser. I'm trying to get you to see things from a different perspective. If you'd rather we not talk about these things, that's fine with me too. I imagine that this is a rather stressful conversation, especially with all you've been dealing with lately. [/QUOTE]
