Homosexuality: What is it?

Please no discussion here. Just answer the poll and then leave it at that.

 

[*Starlight*]

I don't know what to pick in the poll, so I'll answer here.

Homosexuality is a sexual orientation, just like heterosexuality. And neither of them is better than the other.

You didn't have this as a choice, but if you had, I would have selected

• A problem for many conservative Christian heterosexuals.

I know you said no discussion, but I think I should explain why I answered 'none of the above'. Human affection isn't automatically homosexual, although it can be. None of the others made any sense to me. I'd just define it as an attraction to members of your own sex. I think most dictionaries would be in rough agreement with me, too.

“Normal” was a not a choice on your little poll

What are you talking about? We know that there are sins for every sexual orientation. Everyone is born into sin. Stop trying to start stuff.

 

[ZuZu]

can't answer the poll because you don't have a "sexual orientation" listed. As for most of the responses on the poll, homosexuality could possibly be any one of those, but so could heterosexuality....sin, lust, ungodly, human affection can apply to human sexuality no matter what the orientation.

Read the posts: it isn't the gays who are having such a problem with homosexual behavior: it's Christian conservatives who keep reacting, and reacting, and reacting to behavior of other people over which they have absolutely NO control.

Sin Sin Sin Sin Sin Sin Sin Sin Sin Sins Sin Sin Sin Sin Sin Sin Sick.

So is hatred of people who are different from yourself…yet you don’t seem to have any issues with that.

Homosexuality is a sin... there are examples in the bible that shows what god thinks about Homosexuality(i.e.
1Chorinthians 6:9)

9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders

The bible also talks about sodemy - Any of various forms of sexual intercourse held to be unnatural or abnormal, especially anal intercourse or bestiality. AKA homosexuality
(Deuteronomy 23:17; 1Kings 14:24; 15:12; 22:46; 2Kings 23:7...)

If only 1 Corinthians didn’t have translation problems and the Greek word arsenokoites meant homosexual rather than someone who employees prostitutes you might have a point

No Israelite man or woman is to become a shrine prostitute. Deuteronomy 23:17

There were even shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites. 1Kings 14:24

My commonsenses are tingling:

The discussion of homosexuality only came up recently within our countries, but before then for 1900+ years it was considered to be shameful and wrong.
Marriages were believed to be only between a man and a women as well.

It was until a bishop came along and reformed a church, that the same-sex marrage movement started within Canada.

And you wanna know a dirty little secret:

(Michael Ingham talks about Jesus not being the only way into heaven and that you can follow other religions to get there)

You going to trust a bishop who talks like that?

 

[Ave Maria]

Homosexual actions are sin.

 

[FenderElctrc]

Unless a homosexual couple is never going to have sex, you will be sinning because you can't get married. Also, it says it's sin in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. Now, people translate that verse, because it isn't what they want to hear. You guys waste your time. It is what it says. Deal with it. Translate verses is not the way to go. You listen to what God said. The new age churches are translating verses. This is what false prophets do. People are deceived by them because it is what they want to hear. Look at the verse for what it is. It clearly states that it is sin. Oh, and also, the people that can translate Greek and Hebrew say that the original translations are barely different then the English ones. Here's the verse:

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 -
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.


And also, Don't post verses that say sins within heterosexuals. I know there are. I don't do them. I don't hate homosexuals. I'm just saying that it's sin.

A person who Employs(according to a dictionary)-to make use of (an instrument, means, etc.); use; apply OR to occupy or devote (time, energies, etc.)

So you could come to the conclusion that Someone who Employees A male Prostitue would Make Use of them...(what is the use of a male Prostitue???) OR that person could Devote their time to a male Prostitute(How would someone occupy ones time with a prostitue..?) IDK but those are the facts taken out of what you said and the deffinition; to Employ.

because you can't get married.

why not?

 

[FenderElctrc]

why not?

Because it says nothing in the Bible of same sex marriages. It only speaks of a husband and wife.

Genesis 2:24

Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
