  • 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.

Homosexuality is a sin, get over it...

I don't know what Bible version you use, but in a lot of those passages you posted above, "homosexuals" is "them that defile themselves with mankind" in the KJV.

I used to think that homosexuality is a sin, but last night, my eyes were opened. Homosexuality is NOT a sin, but rather, homosexual ACTS is the sin [i.e., the act of sleeping with members of the same sex; hence, the KJV says "them that defile themselves with mankind"--this gives the impression that homosexual Christians may receive salvation as long as they don't defile themselves with mankind (i.e., they don't sleep with members of the same sex)].

Homosexuality is a punishment from God [Romans 1:26-27 (context starts at Romans 1:21 it seems, but I could be wrong)]. Punishments are not sins; therefore, homosexuality is not a sin.

First of all God doesn't tempt people with sin. So if He were to punish anyone, He wouldn't use homosexuality because that would be leading people to lust as homosexual things which are both sins.

Past that point, Yeshua said that if you even think about the act with anyone you are not married to then you are commiting adultery in your heart. So, when we are tossing around the term homosexual here, we mean having or thinking about sex between two (or more) men or two (or more) women. If you don't do either of these, then having a homosexual relationship in today's world is pointless because that's all anybody wants it for. If they just have a love for each other, like brothers, that's not called being homosexual, that's called being Christian.
