Homosexuality is a dead horse, why go on beating it? It's not like people are going to change their minds about it, and I guess the strict rules are to keep us from flooding every single thread with homo debate.

I'm tired of the arguing. But I'd really like to know WHY everybody MUST have an opinion on it.

True but saying 'Homosexuality is a sin' is like printing bank notes on only one side.

Romans 6:23 NIV
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Homesexuality is a sin but in Jesus there is forgiveness from every sin and freedom from their power.

To answer the question in the OP...

Certain topics have proven time and again to always create a lot of turmoil. The threads invariably deginerating into chaos and spawn spin-off threads that just multiply the chaos. In order to allow discussion of these topics, yet maintain the peace of the forum, a place was set up where they can be discussed and rules set in place to keep the discussion on topic rather than becoming personal.

I guess it makes sense, but it seems a shame to separate off homosexuality and make that one we cannot debate.

It seems to be pandering to the world that says that this is the sin that is actually ok, or - God forbid - even an expression of love.

Cheers,

There's no problem with debating the subject of homosexuality. It is simply required that you back up your arguement with some type of source, be that Scripture, science, Church Tradition, etc. rather than making it a personal thing.

This is a congregation specific area: only Pentecostal/Charismatic members can post here. The exception to this is staff. Please report any post by a non Pentecostal/Charismatic as CPE staff can not always tell by faith symbol.



​


The following rule indicates what topics need citations. Personal experience and opinion is not considered a citation. You can use scripture or quotes from authoritative sources. All quotes need citations of where they came from (for example, what book or better, a link to a website that has the material for review) Bible verses need Book, chapter and verse number.

4.2 You will restrict any posts relating to the following controversial topics to the Ethics & Morality, Liberal Theology or Christian Philosophy forums (this site uses the scriptural definition of marriage which is a union between a man and a woman):
a. drug use.
b. gambling.
c. polygamy.
d. extramarital sexual activity.
e. abortion.
f. homosexuality.
g. transsexuality.
In addition, discussion of the above topics must be backed by evidence complete with citations. Standard citations are acceptable but links are preferred.

Any post after this Mod Hat that is about a topic above that does not have citations will be removed. Repeatedly ignoring this rule can result in warnings.

For those who do not know what a citation is, please look at these posts (just click on words "Example #1" etc below):

Example 1, Example 2, Example 3

DO NOT REPORT POSTS BEFORE THIS MOD HAT FOR NO EVIDENCE. THIS THREAD WAS MOVED FROM ANOTHER AREA OF CHRISTIAN FORUMS AND CPE STAFF WILL NOT ACT ON RULE VIOLATIONS BEFORE THIS THREAD CAME HERE.

This notice is from ALL CPE Staff.
