  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Pray for these two girls

Ok I will try and type out what I'm thinking and everything so it will make sense.
I used to think that it was ok if you were gay/lesbian, I just thought it was a lifestyle. Now my feelings are different because I started to become a stronger Christian, my husbands Aunt is gay, and he (my husband) doesnt really seem anything wrong with it, because it doesnt really specify same sex partners in the Bible as homosexuality.
So when I try and tell him that all gays and lesbians, are doing wrong, and that they are not going to Heaven he always comes back with where in the Bible does it say exactly?..
And I'm starting to agree with him, because I cannot find where in the bible that it actually states that being gay is wrong.
Maybe some one has a scripture I havent read yet.
I hope this made sense, it kinda seems like I'm going round and round with my thoughts and trying to type them out, so Im sorry :(

Hi alliesme,
Here's one scripture for you,
Leviticus 18:22 Do not lie with a man as you would a woman; that is detestable.

will see what other scriptures I can find, I know there's more than just this one.

I think what's sad about the homosexuals wanting children so bad is that they are thinking more about themselves than the children, they want the children so bad that they don't consider much what it's going to be like for the child growing up in that enviroment.

But here is another thought..

If homosexuality is just a thought that turned into an action, how or why are there so many of them?
I could see if there wasnt so many, but all of these people are just acting on a sin? i just find that hard to believe but I believe in the scripture..Now does that make sense?

Not sure why there are so many of them, other than the fact that the Bible says the world we become like sodom and gomorah in the last days.

Here's scripture about how our thoughts turn to sin.

James 1:13-15

When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

In the same note I have to say that homosexuals are no different than anyone else when it comes to sin, they can be forgiven just like everyone else is. I do have a feeling though that if they seek forgivness they can't continue practicing in that sin. just the same as we can't continue in our own sins.

They are acting on unnatural lust. The bible clearly describes sexual immorality as an abomination. There are so many gay people because they are taught by society it is genetic and a choice. People act on these feelings because it has been becoming increasingly popular to believe it is natural, when in fact it is not!

I am praying for these 2 girls!

This is what I mean..where in the Bible does it say sexual immorality is being "gay/lesbian"

I think we can find an answer to this in Romans

Romans 1:20-27 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
