Gay Sex in Politics

[SkyWriting]

the translation of Cor 6:9 to include the word homosexual is a very recent addition.

It's not in most translations.

But not for the reason you hold dear.
The reason is promiscuity, not preference.

Homosexual acts are always promiscuous, so your point doesn't stand up.

Even our PM, Teresa May on, "The Andrew Marr Show" said gay sex was not a sin. How are we as Christians to react to his situation?

We should look very closely and determine what supporting
reasons that God would hate gay behavior. It should be a
very solid list of reasons. And should be from Jesus directly.

Nice try. I've only known one such case as promiscuous and ten not.
Your claim is without merit. I knew this man very well.

But since this one example in high school, all other gays I known
failed to have more than one partner. Except this gay girl I dated
from church. But she doesn't think she's gay, really. Except for
one girl she lived with, she is normally attracted to men.

Gay sex is always sterile. Is is a violation of God's plan for sex.

It is taking God's gift and distorting it to our own purpose.

Gay sex is always outside of marriage, regardless of what the current political elite claims.

Common law marriage is when people live together for a certain length of time.
Churches are not involved in about 30% of marriages.

So is my wife unable to carry a child and you are an insulting person.
Take a long hike on a short peer.

By the way, my gay cousin has two fabulous, curious, polite teen boys
who are half brothers. From what I've seen, they are brilliant as well.
So your argument fails on all fronts that include reality.

'Now this was the sin of Sodom: They were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. ” Ezekiel 16:49

If you read the next verse you will find out why Sodom was destroyed, and if you still don't know why check with Peter & Jude who well understood what Jesus said about Sodom.

I am glad you agree with my statement.

The bottom line is that there are no examples of sexual acts between people of the same gender anywhere in the Bible, whether promiscuous or not.

Heterosexual sex has the potential to create life. It is acceptable to God.

You are fighting a losing battle. God's instructions won't change to suit your desires.

Historic Protestant churches in Europe and the US that generally follow a critical method of doing theology.

I am not sure why you leave out half of Christendom - our Catholic friends whose church does not condone homosexual acts. You also ignore Evangelical & Pentecostal churches which are considered mainstream these days.

In British politics the nation focusses a lot on gay issues. As Christians most, if not all will be have something to say about gay matters. My biggest problem is when some Christians say gay sex is not a sin when as the Bible explains, it clearly is. Our local MP Tim Farron, who is a committed Christian says gay sex is not a sin. He goes to our Church and we had a special prayer meeting last Wednesday night to pray and discuss his situation. Even our PM, Teresa May on, "The Andrew Marr Show" said gay sex was not a sin. How are we as Christians to react to his situation?

By quoting scriptures that clearly state that Gay sex is a sin.... If people ignore scriptures and refuse to aknowledge the truth then God will deal with them.. As long as you have done the right thing by giving them warning then your off the hook as it where...

I suppose that is technically true.....

My point is that:
22 You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.
means that one person is sleeping with both genders and not what peoples like it to mean.

Can you provide an instance of homosexual acts being condoned in the bible?

I'm not saying they are. Maybe read what I said again.

Their views are already well known here.

American Catholic laity are actually more gay-accepting than mainline Protestants in the US. With the arrival of Pope Francis, the Catholic Church is also moving away from direct confrontation in the "culture wars", into valuing dialogue with the wider world on this issue.

But it actually means promiscuous behavior, not orientation.

Please share with us your interpretation of this new testament scripture.


Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 1 Corinthians 6:9


Do you understand what the phrase "will not inherit the kingdom of God" means?


Warning people that their eternal soul will be lost if they don't repent of wickedness, is an act of love.


What are you thinking?

Do you know what "some people don't interpret it the same way you do" means?

How about "I'm not the one making any claims about homosexuality"?

Heterosexual sex has the potential to create life. It is acceptable to God.

Procreation isn't automatically redemptive.

The bible considers such matters to be private.
