Homosexual & sodomite: etymology, definition & synonyms

[SkyWriting]

No different than marrying someone who has sinned heterosexually in the past, and repented. Jesus would say to a repentant homosexual the same as he said to the woman caught in adultery, "Your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more."

Maybe you don't recall, but she didn't repent.

English words mean nothing. YOu need to look up the words in the original languages. And Strongs is not always sufficient.

So do that then.

So you would marry a gay person?
I don't think you are up to that.

 

[East of Eden]

That article was the source of my 50%. While many gay marriages are open, many are not.

All are wrong and a perversion of God's plan. There is no such thing as a gay 'marriage'.

 

[East of Eden]

Note that he doesn't identify any sins but leaves them to the woman to decide what is sin.
You are also called to let people decide what is sin for themself.

So why did John the Baptist, called the greatest among men by Jesus, tell Herod his incestuous relationship was wrong?

No, having a sexual preference you don't have, is not a sin.

I never said that, ACTING on it contrary to God's plan IS a sin, the same as a heterosexual who had a 'preference' for adultery or pre-marital sex would be sinning if they acted on it.

 

[East of Eden]

You are welcome to that opinion,

It's God's opinion (the One who created sex), not mine. I would think those on this forum would care about that.

but one wonders about all the other forms of sex and sex attraction that people have.

A result of the Fall, the Bible says the human heart is desperately wicked, hence the need for a Savior.

Christian priests for example.

If you're referring to the Catholic scandals, that is a homosexual problem caused by their unbiblical celibate clergy policy.

Having a sexual preference that you don't have, is not a sin.

I never said that. We all have preferences for certain sins we need to overcome, it's what character is about. On our own it is impossible, with God all things are possible. As Paul said about some former homosexuals, "Such WERE some of you......"

My point being that God makes a huge variety of people.
A friend of mine was born with spinal cancer which left her 95% paralyzed.

Both disordered sexual desires and your friend's tragic health issues are the result of the Fall. Neither will exist in eternity for the believer.

So me with my Dr. God sex prescription pad: What do I write for her?
How do I dictate what sex acts are godly for a quadriplegic?
Is it mine or any idiots place to dictate her partners or sex acts?

In a right marriage relationship, God doesn't prescribe anything about sex. Joni Eareckson Tada is in such a marriage: Our Leadership | Joni and Friends

The article was specifically about gay marriages. That's not necessarily the same thing as a survey of all gays about their relationships. So for accuracy it has to be quoted that way.

Gay marriages do exist, even if you don't approve.

 

[East of Eden]

Gay marriages do exist, even if you don't approve.

True of many things in this fallen world. I don't consider them legitimate marriages.
