No, those men still chose to let God write through them.

So you're saying that God took away Free Will when those men wrote the Bible? You're saying that they were incapable of adding their own words into it?
it's neither left or right, it's more like a scale of 1-100. I beleive humans are capable of not reaching 0 without God.... but they aren't capable of a perfect 100 without God.
I posted my first comment as a 'dead giveaway' to the errors of homosexuality. Any five year old child can see there is something wrong with a same sex couple that cannot reproduce. And I found the 'infertile couple' refutations somewhat humorous.
The Bible clearly spells out that homosexuals will not inherit the Kingdom of God, in plain english. Or depending on the translation you use, in OLD english. God created man for woman. Adam and Eve were the first couple, and they were man and woman. And you know what else? I'm sick of the heterosexual labels. That label gives the indication that 'heterosexual' is a sexual orientation. It is not. It is the normal way God made us all. You won't find 'heterosexual' anywhere in the Bible. You WILL find 'homosexual' however. Right in the verse that says they will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Go figure.
Yep. And I'm calm now. I was FURIOUS that day. And you don't think rationally when you are in that state of mind. I said things I didn't really mean. And I have realized one thing. I can NEVER give up Christianity. There are just too many of my fellow brothers and sisters who are suffering for me to think of myself and my own emotions. So be a Christian and forgive, ok?Dude 2 days ago you where a general theist where you not?
I also wouldn't lump depressed people in with that group. Who chooses to be depressed?

My bisexuality does not make me a bad person, nor does it mean that others can feel free to try to "cure" me. All it is is a different sexuality, and I honestly don't understand why so many people are afraid of those who are different.
All of the trees in the world would not produce enough paper to write down the list of ALL of the people who chose to be gay since the beginning of mankind.Who chooses to be gay?!
So do you think that I chose to be bisexual, then?All of the trees in the world would not produce enough paper to write down the list of ALL of the people who chose to be gay since the beginning of mankind.
You mean atheists like Stalin and Pol Pot, right?So you think that human beings are completely inable of being moral without following the Bible? If so, then how do you explain the fact that atheists don't go around killing people? Many atheists are actually kind-hearted, loving, caring people, yet they don't follow the Bible.
And are you saying that the men who wrote the Bible didn't have any Free Will at all? Are you saying that there is zero chance that they could have added their own words into it when they wrote it?
So you're saying that there's zero chance that those men could have added their own words into the Bible?No, those men still chose to let God write through them.
Anyone else would not tell you the truth for fear of offending you. But I like you, and I care enough about you to tell you the truth. Yes, you did choose it.So do you think that I chose to be bisexual, then?
No, I mean atheists like I used to be. Not all atheists are evil dictators, you know.You mean atheists like Stalin and Pol Pot, right?

Then why the heck did I hate myself so much when I had my first crush on a woman? Why the heck did I deny my true feelings for years, claiming that they were "just a phase" and that I would "grow out of them"? I find it to be hilarious that you're claiming to know about my innermost thoughts when you aren't me. Seriously, how the heck would you know whether or not something was a choice for me?Anyone else would not tell you the truth for fear of offending you. But I like you, and I care enough about you to tell you the truth. Yes, you did choose it.
So you're saying that I'm going to Hell if I don't become straight? Wow! How funny can you get?I have no fear of any homosexual alive, male or female. So let's dispense with that straw man once and for all.
Let me spell it out for you:
1. The Bible condemns homosexual acts in both the Old and New Testaments.
2. The New Testament clearly states that homosexuals will NOT inherit the kingdom of God. For those who believe the Bible is the word of God, that means UNREPENTANT, PRACTICING homosexuals will NOT go to Heaven. If a soul doesn't go to Heaven, there's only one other place it can go----HELL.
Are you with me so far?! I certainly hope so!
3. Christ's prime directive in the New Testament is what Christians refer to as the Great Commission---that Christians are to go forth and spread His teachings to all the nations of the world, so that they too might be saved.
4. Since myself and all the Christians I know of want homosexuals to be saved and go to Heaven, it is our Christian DUTY to advise homosexuals what will happen to them if they don't repent of their egregious sin.
5. After you die and face your judgement day before God, there will be NO excuses. NO ability to "turn back the clock". Childish excuses like "Gee, a lot of Christians on earth were hypocritical meanies to me" isn't going to sway the Almighty. You will be judged ONLY on YOUR own beliefs and actions. It doesn't matter if every last Christian on earth was a hypocrite, you will be judged ONLY by YOUR actions and beliefs.
Heaven or Hell, the choice is yours alone. Eternal bliss or eternal agony. Choose wisely! Eternity is a LONG time.
Please understand where I'm coming from, Hannah. God spells out that homosexuality is wrong. Period. So if you did not choose to like women, that would mean God made you that way. And by making you that way, it turns God into an evil dictator. Why would He make you like that, then turn around and ban you from the Kingdom of God for something you had no control over? It just doesn't sound like God. So my conclusion, and the truth really, is that people choose to be gay. If they didn't, God would be a monster for making them gay, then sending them to hell for it.Then why the hell did I hate myself so much when I had my first crush on a woman? Why the hell did I deny my true feelings for years, claiming that they were "just a phase" and that I would "grow out of them"? I find it to be hilarious that you're claiming to know about my innermost thoughts when you aren't me. Seriously, how the hell would you know whether or not something was a choice for me?
So you're saying that I'm going to Hell if I don't become straight? [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]! How funny can you get?
So, in other words, you don't trust that I'm telling you the truth. Great. That's a real "friend-like" thing to do, there, Wiley. Really makes me want to return the favor someday by distrusting you. (Sarcasm definitely intended.)Please understand where I'm coming from, Hannah. God spells out that homosexuality is wrong. Period.
