  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I am not a Christian so I don't believe God exists to care. I voted other because of the wording of the question.


If your not a Christian why did you vote on a thread that was called "Homosexuality from a Christian point of view" not an athiest point of view.The Bible is against homosexuality.As a Christian i know homosexuality is a sin.The Bible only recognizes marriage between a man and a woman.Thats why God created woman was for man.God Bless :)


Leviticus 18:22"you shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female it is an abomination."

Romans 1:26 "for this reason god gave them over to degrading passions for their women exchange the natural function for that which is unnatural and in the same way also the men abandon the natural function of the women and burned in their desire towards one another men with men commiting indecent acts and recieving in their own persons the due penalty of their error".


Marriage is between a man and a woman.

GENESIS 2:22-24 "In the lord god fashioned into a woman the rib which he had taken from the man and brought her to the man and the man said this is now a bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man for this cause a man shall leave his father and mother shall clieve to his wife and they shall become one flesh"

1 CORINTHIANS 7:2 "But since there is so much immorality each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband."

EPHESIANS 6"11" Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise"

As are a good many other things. That's why we need Jesus. And we're not going to be perfect after accepting His forgiveness. Everyone sins.

Yes everyone sins but homosexuals don't try to change they just keep on sinning without seeking Jesus Christ.Those homosexuals that call themselves Christians always say that we're all sinners but they forget that when we accept Jesus Christ we put our sinful ways to death and follow Jesus Christ,but homosexuals dont' even attempt to put their sinful ways behind them.God Bless :)

Romans 6:1"Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?By no means!We died to sin, how can we live in it any longer"

Same for heterosexual relationships.

The Bible tells us if a man cannot control himself he should marry a woman and likewise if a woman cannot control herself she should marry a man so they don't burn with lustful desires,but a homosexual relationship is sinful.God Bless :)

So, you'd say heterosexual divorcees are "putting their sins behind them?" That's funny, I thought Jesus said divorce was a sin. Oh drat. Hope there aren't any divorced preachers, 'cause they're "not trying to change but just keep on sinning without seeking Jesus Christ."

Man, I hope those wicked divorcees don't go trying to get marriage rights or something, because we sure wouldn't want to endorse sinful lifestyles, would we now?

No, I just loathe attempts to pervert manifestly obvious Christian teachings.
right it's just so obvious and the teachings are anything but ambiguous that all xians are in agreement with it...

Wrong. You're just like every other fundie playing the true scotsman card.

I am familiar with the relevant scholarship; you are not.

wouldn't it be nice if people just granted you authority on everything you talk about so you never have to back up your claims?
ahh... in a perfect world...

Name some relevant scholars and while you are at it tell me when, where, and with whom you studied Ancient Greek (Attic or Koine) as I have.

Would you mind explaining your view of the relevant scholarship? Recall, please, that many respected theologians with thorough knowledge of not only ancient Greek, but also the relevant language, which is ancient Hebrew, disagree with you. Shall I hunt up some published theological papers for you to refute?

The relevant language for the New Testament (and the Septuagint) is Koine. Do not waste my time with your nonsense.

So may I assume that you don't care to explain the relevant scholarship? If not, then why did you bring up the subject? Did you expect us to respond, "Oh, well, Brennin said it so it must be true?"

EDIT: And by the way, the Septuagint is a translated version of the original. The original is in Hebrew and you can find it at any local synagogue (Christians don't often hold with originals). If it is necessary to know the original language in order to be familiar with the relevant scholarship, then you clearly are familiar with no relevant scholarship on the OT.

I might post some relevant scholarship later, but I am not going to waste my time with you.
