I once heard that homosexuality is inherited.
Kinda strange, since it took a male and a female
to create the person who so claimed this absurdity..
Wonder which heterosexual it was that passed the
homosexual gene to their offspring??
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34-35I have pounded that fact into the ground to no avail - I have to say that I don't think people care what the bible spells out.
Romans 1 is the most powerful condemnation for both the lust and the sex act in homosexuality - it's called dishonouring to their bodies, shameful (lust) and unnatural - unnatural is clearly what is not natural/ against nature.
Then, they skip over Jesus' teaching on the prototype of the marital unit and why it is what it is:
Matt. 19
3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?
4 And He answered and said to them, Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh?
6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.
That verse singlehandedly cancels out any other acceptable combination for marital relations that would be within God's will for humanity. It means that God created a male for the female at creation, and BECUZ OF THAT fact, they are to become one flesh together.
Not more than 2, and not any other combination but male and female. (other verses spell this out also)
1 Timothy 3:2
A bishop then must be blameless,
the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;
Very simple and very clear - the examples of acceptable and common marital unions for God's people involved male & female only. Jesus spelled it out Himself by the model He gave which was God's will for the family unit.
Anyone rejecting what is so clear by teaching and example, I have to consider denial of overwhelming evidence.
You're in no place to judge, with your false assertions just because someone believes differently than you."A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34-35
you are right it is amazing how many Christian ignore the teachings of Jesus so they can continue to assert their petty personal prejudices
Why would you call a post full of false statements and unsupoorted claims excellent?Excellent post - I would rep you but it wont let me. God bless you richly for sharing the truth of His word.
Poor choice of comparison considering that pedophiles are almost exclusively heterosexuals.I just love how people turn this to condemnation & hatred - do you accept pedophilia?
I thought it was the right and duty of Christians to judge. Or is it you just dont like to be judged as you personally judge othersYou're in no place to judge, with your false assertions just because someone believes differently than you.
It specifically refers to the bed of a woman, not a man.Thats false. [/color]The term for Christ is feminine also - by that poor reasoning then Christ is a female. Word tense doesnt mean something refers to a man or woman. Again poor reasoning designed to allow for error and cover sin.
Thats not a fact at all.I'll stand by my Exegesis....And the FACT still remains the same Paul coined the words IN THE BIBLE ..
Sadly this tactic has been used for generation by those justify prejudice against black people. those promoting racism would compare blacks to sexual deviants to bolster support for their prejudice just as you are comparing sexual oriention to a fetish. I am sure (or at least I hope) you would never attack people of different skin color by comparing that entire minority to sexual deviants I have to ask why you think it is acceptable to compare a different minority to sexual deviantsThey LIVE in homosexual lifestyles. I live in a heterosexual lifestyle. Where's any denigration?
Those who practice SIN (sin as a regular habit and commonly practiced) are living a life against God. Rebellion.
Hey, there's sins I'm prone to that I cannot live in and practice. The same holds true for homosexuals and anyone else who has weaknesses or fettishes or bents towards anything God tells us is wrong.
There's no difference, those who claim Christ have to turn from sin and repent. Salvation came with a price - Christ died for it, and our price we pay is to die to self on this earth to inherit a better kingdom.
Gays have to make the same choices any other sinner does. Repent or perish and we ALL have to fight against our sin natures.
With that said, I'll try to check back in later to reply.
You might want to educate yourself on the basics of genetics and how inheritance works before making post like this againI once heard that homosexuality is inherited.

It is, but look how you're doing it.I thought it was the right and duty of Christians to judge. Or is it you just dont like to be judged as you personally judge others
It is, but look how you're doing it.
"Oh, you're just against me because you hate gays (justify personal prejudice), therefore you're sinning by not loving." People continuously tell you they don't hate anyone, yet you continue to say they do and compare them to racists for believing a rational view of the bible. I'll restate, you're in no place to judge anyone about "love".
Hey, some people DO hate gays AND homosexuality both.Can you see how frustrating it is to see people claiming to "love" homosexuals when blind bloody freddy can see that they hate them, with a deep, visceral, irational hatred?
But rarely do these people ever stop to look at their own hatred against the one's they're attacking! (pro homosexual against conservative Christian). Their ad hom bombs & hateful accusations (I believe some are flat out lying) are actually MUCH MUCH worse than what conservative Christians even say about homosexuality!
I don't know that thats fair... i mean, I have yet to see a more "liberal" Christian make up false claims that "conservative" Christians are the biggest health threat facing a nation, or that being a "conservative" Christian results in direct, immediate empirical harm to the person in question, indeed, I can't think of a single example of "liberal" Christians making up false witness against "conservative" Christians, yet I can cite you examples in this very thread of "conservative" Christians making up blatant lies about homosexuals. Nor hav I seen any "liberal" Christians claim that "conservative" Christians who commit suicide deserve to die and are unworthy of any sympathy, or similarly offensive insensitive posts, which seem targeted at homosexuals quite commonly. All these claims I have seen made by "conservative" Christians in these threads in the last few days.If WE used the same language and attacks that are used on us towards gays, we'd be burned at their stakes for it.... ie: they don't even use an even scale to judge us with.
