You actually have that reversed. Bigots and hate-mongers want to pretend that somehow sexual orientation is a choice.I also notice, that the GLBT community seems to reject the ol' "they were born that way" tag, because they know that that is also a detriment to the way they will be treated. They want choice to rule the day.
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Prove to me that HE did not raise up from the dead! Prove to me that HE did not die on the cross and did not rise from the dead. The ball is in your court now. No one has ever been able to prove that HE did not rise from the dead. So you must prove that JESUS CHRIST did not rise from the dead. If you do this, no Christian will ever bother you again. No Christian will be able to rebuke you for your vile sin of homosexuality; because you have destroyed Christianity.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Until then; you will be rebuked for your vile sin. You will be corrected and commanded to repent and turn your life to Christ.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]If you don't want to live with the shame and guilt of this wicked sin, then either Prove that HE did not rise from the dead; or realize that HE did and has the power to heal you and REPENT and come to HIM and let HIM wash you white as snow!!!!!!![/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]SOLA SCRIPTURA.
SOLA FIDE.
SOLA GRATIA.
SOLUS CHRISTUS.
SOLI DEO GLORIA.

If you don't think JESUS existed then you don't believe that Julius Caesar existed, or Napoleon Bonaparte. Good job! and good luck with that.
wow what a weak argument
jesus never wrote anything down, both napoleon and caesar did, we have statues of them, and we know where they lived.
jesus on the other had did not write anything down, we have no statues of him. nor can anyone support where he really lived, nazarene is questioned as to existing before the second century
so your argument fails painfully, good job
I'm asexual, all it simply is the absence of sexual attraction. Meaning...you know the feeling you get when you see an attractive member of the opposite sex or vice versa, or at the wet t-shirt contest and your crush just looks really nice? i don't get that. I don't understand that. I just don't have it and don't desire to have that attraction feeling. I just kinda love everybody, regardless of sex, yet feel no attraction to them.
Message me if you want anymore info or on here. I'm very open about it!
I am not trying to persecute homosexuals. I am not trying to hate anything here. I am not hating anything here.
What I am doing is forcing the issue.
I am cutting through all the poopoo that most Christians let themselves get bogged down with. I am getting to the heart of the matter.
1. Either JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD, or HE did not.
2. If HE did you now are 100% accountable for your vile sins.
That is all I am doing. I am forcing them to see how utterly sinful they are and how they NEED to Repent and be born again or they WILL be lit on fire for all eternity.
They can not prove that Messiah did not rise from the dead!!! Therefore they must REPENT!
SOLA GRATIA.
What's the difference between SOF and God?
God doesn't think he's SOF.
I believe that Jesus rose from the dead. And I'm attracted to people of the same sex. So... yeah.
So they just have to suck it up and deal with it? They do not get to love the person they want to love? Nice God, eh?
Furthermore, I don't care what the Bible says about marriage.
It has no business being involved in secular law. So if the only objection you can raise for same sex marriage not being legal is from the Bible, it is not a valid argument for non-Christians.
Bigotry is never love. It doesnt matter how many try to stamp the name of Jesus onto the robes of a member of the KKK, it wont change the hate he stands for into loveAnd Jesus mentions many sins we are to reject. Being attracted to people of the same sex does not mean you have to have sex with them. Look up what Jesus says about marriage. God intends it for a man and a woman. When you stop seeing that as hate speech and see it as love personified (literally) then you can keep your attraction to people of the same sex in proper context. And you can be forgiven for that too. According to Jesus. And, even the demons believe all that was foretold about Jesus.
Bigotry is never love. It doesn’t matter how many try to stamp the name of ‘Jesus’ onto the robes of a member of the KKK, it wont change the hate he stands for into love
The KKK is opposed by Christians for the same reason that homosexuality is. It does not align its doctrines and actions with the New Testament witeness. You can show HOW the Clan violates scriptural truth the same way gay groups do. They alter it. They change it. They ignore and ridicule it.
Gee, and all this time I thought we were talking about a purely civil matter. Nobody's forcing individual churches to go against their beliefs (as ignorant as such beliefs may be). Besides, there are already plenty of Christian churches that welcome homosexual brothers and sisters with open arms, so why would they go to a church that condemns them?It is pure hate to force homosexuality onto and into the Christian Church.

Like a Clansman, you cannot backup support for homosexuality just as they cannot provide proof of their violent and aberrant theology "FROM" the Bible. You have the KKK and GLBT's doing the same thing "to" Christians, forcing them to believe in sinful behavior and to promote it in the Church.
Your analogy fails for the same reason the KKK's does. No scriptural support for the behaviors and doctrines.
It is the apex of love to get a sinner away from sin. THAT IS in the Bible.
The divisions within the churches over whether to accept gay people or not are divisions among Christians, who disagree with each other over what the Bible says and means and over how Christians should treat gay people. The people who argue for acceptance of gay people are not practicing "hate," as you charge. The are practicing love, and they are arguing that the Bible does not support the exclusion of gay people or of same-sex marriages and relationships. These are fellow Christians who simply disagree with you.
My own church already accepts gay people and supports same-sex marriage, and there is no issue here in my church. But I know that other churches are torn over these questions. I think that neither side in these debates is practicing "hate." I think that both sides are struggling over what being a Christian means when it comes to how Christians treat gay people. And people on the different sides simply disagree.

I don't know who wrote what I am about to quote - I copied it out of another post on this page, and I am too lazy to go look back through this LONG thread to find it.
One of the arguments against same-sex marriage, which has been raised even by those who do not oppose homosexual relationships, is the effect that gay marriage will have upon adoption. There was already, in Massachusetts, a Catholic-run adoption agency (I believe it was the largest adoption source in the State) that was ordered by the State to allow married homosexuals to adopt. The agency was forced to choose between violating their own deeply-held religious beliefs, or close the doors. They chose to close the agency, which has had a tremendous negative impact in the State and has greatly reduced the number of children placed for adoption.
Regardless of your position on homosexual couples adopting children, can you really stand up and cheer for this kind of result?
