Eziekial 25:17 "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

That's Samuel L. Jackson, not Scripture. That was a figment of the mind created for Pulp Fiction.

Eze 25:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
Eze 25:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
Eze 25:17 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.

I can cite some examples where Jesus told people to repent (change).
Usually he addressed this to the conservative religious establishment and it's supporters, not to those the religious establishment thought ought to repent.

Jesus preached repentance to everyone , everyone is a sinner .

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned

Matthew 9:13 "But go and learn what this means: `I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.''

Mark 1:14 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15. and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.''

Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.''

Luke 13:5 "I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.''

Luke 15:7 "I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

Luke 15:10 "Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.''

Luke 24:46 Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47. "and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

John 5:14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.''

Are there diseases involved in homosexuality??

Where? I was merely referring to the argument of outlaw. You can't conquer the world with one verse. I'll pray for you. :) ;)

No, there are no diseases inherent in homosexuality. Are there diseases inherent in heterosexuality? My answer would be no. Now as far as being "involved" as you say... Well sure. I supposed any person of any walk of life on earth can be diseased if exposed to disease. Being of any particular sexuality does not make diseases out of thin air. Disease comes to a population from exposure and spread. And everyone is vulneralble to disease, homosexual and heterosexual alike.

I think promiscuity and unneccessary sexual risk taking are more responsible for STD than what gender you feel more apt to pair bond with. And no matter what sex you prefer, same or opposite, if you live a promiscous life and engage in high risk sexual activites, you are far more likely to contract an STD.

One of these high risk sexual activities would be homosexual intercourse. Thus, the point.

It is actually anal sex, and practiced by both hetero/homosexuals. And

according to the posted statistics, it seems to be practiced more frequently by

heterosexulas!;)

Is there any other choice for a homosexual? Is there such a thing as safe homosexual intercourse?

There are diseases involved. Heterosexual sex is fine, in marriage. Not surprisingly (or surprisingly, but I hope not), there is no provision for marriage of a homosexual type in the Bible.

as I already said....unsafe sex is unsafe sex whether it be homosexual or heterosexual. one is not any more unsafe then the next.

I know it seems like that went no where, but it was mainly for spinto's comment (if you want the context, read there several posts back)

Also, on sins:

"Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful."

Many homosexuals do not practice anal sex, but it appears that many heterosexuals do! That is the point! You were erroneously calling it "homosexual" sex, I was merely pointing out your error!:)

And yes, there is a provision for EQUAL MARRIAGE, since I live in a nation that chooses to offer equality for all citizens. (As well as other countries)

Please don't paint "us" all with the same brush.

If two homosexuals want to have sex, that is all they can do. I said nothing in error.

I never said that there was no provision. I said there is no provision in the Bible.
EDIT: I am sorry. I meant to include that in the post. My apologies. I will leave the comment in there, as I've changed the post I'm referring to.

I assume that Christians read similar Bibles.

Ummmmm, I don't think this is the appropriate forum to discuss all the ways to have sex. You do realize their are many ways to have "sex"?:scratch: Intercourse is but one!

You said :

Not surprisingly (or surprisingly, but I hope not), there is no provision for marriage of a homosexual type.

So I responded that their ARE provisions! Since neither of us live in a theocracy, your personal beliefs are irrelevant to society at large.

Remeber, you can personally believe in God, or the man in the moon for that matter in our countries! This is true freedom of religion! The govt is to enact laws that are for ALL in the country. This way you can personally oppose things you don't like, just like everyone else!:)
