This brings us to the question of: Does might make right?
In other words, just because G-d is more powerful than us, does that give him the right to dictate our behavior under consequence of damnation?
Is this thread a joke? Am I missing the punchline?
For all the homosexual Christians out there having to put up with discrimination like this from your narrow minded brothers; my prayers are with you.
Who says he's holy? What qualities make up 'holy-ness'?It's not because He is more powerful, it's because he is holy.
Who says he's holy? What qualities make up 'holy-ness'?
In answer to your question, the bible mentions holiness more than 900 times. The word means "to cut" or "to separate." Holiness is a cutting off or separating from what is unlclean and consecrating oneself to what is pure.
A survey by The Advocate, a homosexual magazine, revealed that promiscuity is a reality among homosexuals. The poll found that 20 percent of homosexuals said they had had 51-300 different sex partners in their lifetime, with an additional 8 percent having had more than 300.
Unprotected homosexual sex is also a concern among health professionals. A survey in Ireland by the Gay Men's Health Project found that almost half of homosexuals said they were having unprotected sex....
You mean like it's wrong to give false witness against gays and lesbians?Zaac said:Folks don't like that there is a God Who says what is absolutely right and wrong. And they also don't like that He has called Christians to correct people with His truth in love.
Another unreferenced and unsupported claimThe homosexual is not interested in "civil rights" but how they can bury the church and their approach to homosexuality. Once they have done that, they can legitimise all manner of perversion which is nothing more than rebellion.
In one homosexuals magazine it was stated that they were not interested in homosexual marriage (I don't say 'gay' marriage because most homosexuals are not gay), they were wanting to destroy marriage as we know it so that they can overthrow estabished society and make everything abnormal normal.
A real organization or a fake one like NAMBLAOf course once you remove absolutes you can do anything you want. I notice in the USA there is an organisation fighting to make sex between men and boys legal.
It is an absolute that God said to love your neighbor. Prejudice and false witness against a minority are not loving acts no matter how one twists thingsThe mantra of those who want to get rid of God's absolutes is that there are no absolutes. Of course, saying that there are no absolutes is as absolute as you can get.
When God created the heavens and earth and mankind, he did so with a certain genome or DNA. The absolutes he gave were intented to allow us to enjoy his creation in its fulness as they work in harmony together.
Once sin came in, degredation in all facets of life began and we have the situation now where we no longer know what is normal and healthy. In our headlong pursuit to push all the boundaries, we will end up a human wreck as we become slaves of our own debauchery which incidentally we were not made for.
A very good point Zaac. It illustrates well that the root issue is rebellion against God and his society or in other words, I don't want anyone telling me what I can and cannot do epitomosed in the claim that God is dead.
The evolutionists are not fighting for the fairy story of evolution but the right to exclude God from their lives legitimately.

I was skulling through my reference files and found this bit of information. ALSO is a homosexual organisation.
I went looking through ALSO and could find nothing even coming close to this claim .imagine my surprise.A recent study conducted by the Alternative Lifestyle Organisation (ALSO) and the Australian Drug Foundation found that homosexuals have a much higher rate of drug usage than does the general population.
This quote doesnt seem to exist and neither does this studyFor example, 65 per cent of gay, lesbian, bisexual and queer men aged 20 to 29 and 36 per cent of women in the same category have used ecstasy. This is compared to 19 per cent of men and 12 per cent of women in the same age group in the national survey.
One has to wonder why you used a secondary source for this instead of the primary source . Since I was unable to find what study was being talked about here I would have to guess the primary source wasnt used because the study doesnt say what is claimed it saysAlso, a study of 16,000 adolescents in America, as reported in the Archives of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, found that lesbian and bi-sexual teenagers are more likely to smoke and more vulnerable to cigarette marketing than their straight sisters. Almost 40 per cent of lesbians and bisexuals smoked, compared to just 6 per cent of heterosexual teenage girls. This finding is in keeping with previous studies on the subject.

More unreferenced claims. Why should we accept the reliability of these claims?
Again should we use Penthouse forum to determine just how many married men cheat on their wives?
Interesting that I cant actually FIND this study except on sites condemning homosexuality.I was skulling through my reference files and found this bit of information. ALSO is a homosexual organisation.

Adults smoke generally because it calms them down when anxious or depressed. Gee, why would a member of a group that's often treated rather poorly by certain sectors of society be anxious and depressed?
He also says to avoid shellfish and wearing mixed fabric. Keeping that in mind, are we?In Leviticus 19:2 God says to his people that they should be holy because he was holy.
Wait wait wait, you say that homosexuality is bad because it's sex outside of marriage (ignoring for a moment that there is MORE to being gay than just having lots of sex) yet you wont allow gays to get married even in a civil capacity....Because of this and the fact that all sex outside of marriage is forbidden by God for his people, homosexuality is off limits because that is sex outside of marriage, bearing in mind that the bible teaches that marriage is between a man and a woman.
And how do those stack up against the heterosexual population?A survey by The Advocate, a homosexual magazine, revealed that promiscuity is a reality among homosexuals. The poll found that 20 percent of homosexuals said they had had 51-300 different sex partners in their lifetime, with an additional 8 percent having had more than 300.
You DO realize that condoms were not widely available in Ireland until pretty recently.Unprotected homosexual sex is also a concern among health professionals. A survey in Ireland by the Gay Men's Health Project found that almost half of homosexuals said they were having unprotected sex....
Wait wait wait, what on earth were you doing at a national conference for homosexuals?I remember at a National Conference for homosexuals in a seminar about advancing the cause of homosexuality, the guy running it said that this sort of information must be supressed. he said "if this gets out, we will never be accepted as normal."
Research indicates that the average male homosexual has hundreds of sex partners in his lifetime:
·The Dutch study of partnered homosexuals, which was published in the journal AIDS, found that men with a steady partner had an average of eight sexual partners per year.
·Bell and Weinberg, in their classic study of male and female homosexuality, found that 43 percent of white male homosexuals had sex with 500 or more partners, with 28 percent having one thousand or more sex partners.[13]
In their study of the sexual profiles of 2,583 older homosexuals published in the Journal of Sex Research, Paul Van de Ven et al. found that "the modal range for number of sexual partners ever [of homosexuals] was 101-500." In addition, 10.2 percent to 15.7 percent had between 501 and 1,000 partners. A further 10.2 percent to 15.7 percent reported having had more than one thousand lifetime sexual partners.[14]
A survey conducted by the homosexual magazine Genre found that 24 percent of the respondents said they had had more than one hundred sexual partners in their lifetime. The magazine noted that several respondents suggested including a category of those who had more than one thousand sexual partners.[15]
So EVERYTHING that you dont like is just rebelling against god?A very good point Zaac. It illustrates well that the root issue is rebellion against God and his society or in other words, I don't want anyone telling me what I can and cannot do epitomosed in the claim that God is dead.
Which seems pretty legit to me. As a Pagan, I dont want God in my lifeThe evolutionists are not fighting for the fairy story of evolution but the right to exclude God from their lives legitimately.
It'd be nice to see you actually PROVE this rather than just rant and rave about itThe homosexual is not interested in "civil rights" but how they can bury the church and their approach to homosexuality. Once they have done that, they can legitimise all manner of perversion which is nothing more than rebellion.
And Cosmo says that men inherently dont really ever think about anything, what's your point?In one homosexuals magazine it was stated that they were not interested in homosexual marriage (I don't say 'gay' marriage because most homosexuals are not gay), they were wanting to destroy marriage as we know it so that they can overthrow estabished society and make everything abnormal normal.
Freedom of speech is a real bear, id'nt it?Of course once you remove absolutes you can do anything you want. I notice in the USA there is an organisation fighting to make sex between men and boys legal.
Dude, stay off the philosophy, it doesnt suit youThe mantra of those who want to get rid of God's absolutes is that there are no absolutes. Of course, saying that there are no absolutes is as absolute as you can get.
Yeah THAT worked out well. Wait a second, if God created us, why arent we perfect? A perfect creator should produce a perfect creation.When God created the heavens and earth and mankind, he did so with a certain genome or DNA. The absolutes he gave were intented to allow us to enjoy his creation in its fulness as they work in harmony together.
You realize you're kvetching about the same things Plato was back in the day. Every generation thinks the world is going downhill from where they stand. Overall, the world is a far better place to be now than it was in Jesus' day.Once sin came in, degredation in all facets of life began and we have the situation now where we no longer know what is normal and healthy. In our headlong pursuit to push all the boundaries, we will end up a human wreck as we become slaves of our own debauchery which incidentally we were not made for.
What are the equivalents for hetrosexuals?
