Something I just noticed....

Dear ChaliceThunder,
You may believe your god made you that way but not the God of the Bible, He made male and female and woman for man. The Lord did not make gay and straight people, the knowledge of good and evil came with temptation and the first awareness Adam and Eve had was a sexual one.[/color][/size][/font]
No, if God made people staright and gay he wouldnt have needed to send His Son Jesus Christ.

Amen. God did make male and female. Why didn't He make male and male? Or female and female??

 

[Leah]

God DID make us this way - and he did so wondrously.

How dare YOU denigrate the work of the Lord's hands?!

Yes, God made you in His image.

Homosexuality is not the work of the Lord's hands and never will be. Otherwise, He wouldn't be God.

 

[ChaliceThunder]

That sounds awfully twisted to me.

If homosexuality was the work of God's hand, God wouldn't be God?????????

With God nothing shall be impossible. Of course he created gay people!

 

[Apollo Celestio]

I am not wrong, my dear. People choose sin. They don't choose their race.

Anyone who would dare with to compare their sexual desire with race is sadly and horrifically deceived.

I don't know, even Christians struggle with SSA, the sin is in the act, so that is chosen, but although I don't understand it, the fact that it is out of someone's control .. we should be a little more careful with our words.

 

[Floatingaxe]

Take "homosexuality" off your list of sins, please. It's not a sin at all. Gay is how God made some of us.

You can't pin that perversion on God. Only Satan influences people to fall victim to his favourite lie.

 

[Floatingaxe]

How dare you call our love "abomination?"

It's in God's vocabulary. Why don't you ask Him how He dares to call it an abomination? Put your hands on your hips like you're real indignant like. Maybe even wag your finger in His face...Maybe He'll apologize???

Sin is sin, and it is always a choice, unless someone has fallen prey to demonic forces, where a renouncing is required for freedom anyway.

So you believe that people choose who they are sexually attracted to? I don't think that is even possible...

Yes. We aren't victims of our pheromones. However, many countless people give them power over their discriminatory judgment.

So just to be clear, you believe that by not ignoring your sexual attractions you are choosing them?

But if they have sexual attractions exclusively to the same sex, even if they did try ignoring them, they would still be considered gay...

 

[FaithLikeARock]

Question: why did God (assuming He did) make homosexuality a sin?

If your response is "because they can't reproduce", I'm going to assume you think a relationship is all about sex.

Righteousness in the sight of God in someone who has accepted Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord knows that he must not give in to sinful desires of the flesh. Denying lust is a righteous act.

A man who does that regularly doesn't stoop so low as to even take on the label of "homosexual", for he is a conqueror in Christ.

But by definition he would still be one. The attraction would still be there, whether he tries to ignore it or not.

Who's definition? Not God's! Overcomers don't ignore--they overcome by the power of Christ.

 

[Catholicon]

Maybe you should try letting Jesus help you overcome your homophobia. Don't ignore Christ's message of loving your fellow human.

God didn't make "homosexuality" a sin. People decided to call it that. And many people don't agree that it's a "sin."

Of course He, read the Bible especially the Genesis passages given to you.
God didnt create the Vogons or the Klingons though.

Dear Ohioprof,

Of course God called same-sex sex a sin.

 

[Ohioprof]

Dear Ohioprof,
Of course God called same-sex sex a sin.

No, he didn't. We are back to disagreeing again.

Nothing in the Bible is what God said. It's what people said.

You really believe the stories in Genesis?
