  • 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

Sorry, here's another one.

I am curious with all the homosexuality threads why I haven't seen many comments about how physically we are not designed for it. It is always about God says its wrong put that aside for a minute. Men and women fit together.

(I don't feel like atatching a whole bunch of disclaimers about how I feel about homosexuality so have at it if you want.)

From a moral/ethical perspective the thing that matters is whether or not we should be sodomists. Not why. Right? Personally and bibically sodomy is wrong and should be outlawed. As you said it goes against God's design. Since one of the reasons for marrage is reproduction, if you can't reproduce it's not marrage.

Because there is alot more to love than the physical aspects. It's more emotional than anything else. If it's just a matter of 'fitting together' you should be ok w/any guy on the planet.

Wow, can't agree with you there. Just because you can't reproduce doesn't mean you aren't married. That would suggest your unity is not accepted in the eyes of God. Are you sure you want to say that?

Maybe I should change my original to be about sex with the same sex and not homosexuality.

I think it is very possible to deeply love a person of the same sex and commit to having a non-sexual relationship with them. I love my husband enough that if it were to be wrong for me to have sex with him we would still be married and have an intimate emotional relationship.
(this is not a thread about the rights of homosexuals to be legaly recognized in marriage.)

I am wondering if by the anatomy of the human body alone if having sexual relations with a person of the same gender would be wrong.

Not oftan do people change there minds on cf. But I think you are right to correct me. Reproduction isn't the only reason to get married, and is not required.

I "fit" perfectly with my girlfriend. Sex isn't solely about reproduction for most including christians. Men and women born with sexual organ problems and deformities don't "fit" but they have other types of sex. I don't think it's fair to hold us gays and lesbians up to a standard that heterosexuals themselves don't adhere to. Our relationships are no different then heterosexual ones. We date. We fall in love. We commit. Our relationships are for love. If I never engaged in sexual acts with my girlfriend I would still be with her because that isn't what's important so the "don't fit" argument doesn't even apply.

Anatomy doesn't really determine right or wrong. That said, however, it is important to note that heterosexual couples can engage in pretty much every type of sex that homosexual couples can. The only vague way that you might consider it wrong is if you think that sex is only for procreation; in which case, anything outside a man and a woman having sex for children would be wrong.

What about heterosexual non-traditional sexual practices?:sorry:

heterosexual non-traditional sexual practices: I'm still storting that out too, that is why I am asking these questions. If having sex with a person of the same sex is wrong, then using anything other than traditional intercourse would be wrong. I am searching anwers.

Ignoring the fact that the government has no business whatsoever legislating what two consenting adults happen to do in their bedrooms- because you think it's 'icky', or for any other reason- if you were going to outlaw non-procreative sex between homosexual individuals on the grounds that it's non-procreative, you would also have to disallow any other type of non-procreative sexual activity.. regardless of whether or not it offends your sensibilities.

So, in addition to heterosexuals being restricted to sexual activities that are strictly procreative in nature, you've got the issue that some heterosexual individuals can't procreate. If you or your husband happened to be infertile, no sex for you! Once you reach an age where your body is no longer capable of procreating, no more sex! Have a medical problem that prevents you from carrying a child? No sex for you, either. Don't want any more children? You guessed it.

What if you or your husband were injured in such a way that your bodies no longer "fit" together in the procreative sense? Should you be barred from further sexual intimacy because you no longer have the "right" parts, because you don't "fit" in a biological sense? What about children who are born intersexed, or with genitals that otherwise don't match the standard? Should they be prohibited from engaging in sexually intimate relationships when they grow up because their bodies 'don't fit' in the classic sense, or they're unable to produce offspring?

The human body allows for female-female or male-male sex to be just as pleasurable and fulfilling as heterosexual sex.
