Stop the spread of wrong in words...

[Atha]

so why is it that long ago, the word gay meant the simple happy of anyone? and now in this current generation it has been corrupted? into what, what difference there is not meant to be?

hey i got a good idea, its that why do you say wrong to others? because you dont understand good... yet this is the idea, is try to understand what is good, and share that with others in words.. does your word have meaning within? then what is it your trying to say?


and then dont be like that, guys are made for girls, and girls are made for guys, you know why? because they can have a great family and wonderful children. but it does take both a mother (a girl) and a father (a guy) to prepare and make wonderful the life of the little ones...

Kids deserve a mom, and a true guy as a dad...

slow down your feelings that you work towards as if that is your gain, for why would you give yourself into what is not well for your life kind nor well for your being ever after, even so much as give away your great house that you through hard work, true of a man, would provide (for yourself?) for your kids...


its the word that is the meaning and the false jests of say, that is wronging the ability to be a real man, though people, we are men, man kind has both man and woman and also all do begin as an innocent child...

take care of the kids, stop the words that wrong them if they were to go that way...

in Jesus' Name, amen.

The word has evolved into its meaning today. Actually I think those who oppose homosexuality would actually like one of its meanings..which was basically an adjective to describe a promiscuous fellow. Do some research, you'll see the gays didn't simply redefine the word.

hey i got a good idea, its that why do you say wrong to others? because you dont understand good... yet this is the idea, is try to understand what is good, and share that with others in words.. does your word have meaning within? then what is it your trying to say?

Wait...what? Gay people understand good and bad....what is it you're trying to say?

and then dont be like that, guys are made for girls, and girls are made for guys, you know why? because they can have a great family and wonderful children. but it does take both a mother (a girl) and a father (a guy) to prepare and make wonderful the life of the little ones..

.
And as many already know two same sex parents can have families and be great parents.

Kids deserve a mom, and a true guy as a dad...

Kids deserve loving good parents. What do you mean by a "true guy"?

slow down your feelings that you work towards as if that is your gain, for why would you give yourself into what is not well for your life kind nor well for your being ever after, even so much as give away your great house that you through hard work, true of a man, would provide (for yourself?) for your kids...

Being true to yourself and the ones you love are healthy ways of living. Being gay is not any more harmful than being straight is.

its the word that is the meaning and the false jests of say, that is wronging the ability to be a real man, though people, we are men, man kind has both man and woman and also all do begin as an innocent child...

take care of the kids, stop the words that wrong them if they were to go that way...

You mean words like "gay"?

in Jesus' Name, amen.

Yes languages changes and evolves.

A few years ago ‘ram’ referred to a male sheep or a mediaeval siege weapon.

'villain' used to mean a farmhand

‘blackguard’ was an assistat cook

a ’heathen’ was someone how lived far away from town

a ‘bead’ used to mean a prayer

‘awful’ used to mean praise worthy

‘imp’ was a young plant

‘nice’ used to mean foolish

‘pretty’ once meant intelligent

Calling someone ‘brave’ was in insult – you were saying they were a coward.

A ‘neck’ was a parcle of land (still presnt today in phrases like ‘Your neck of the woods’)


Once every ten years, the Merriam- Webster dictionary is updated. Their 11th edition for 2003 included some 10,000 new words along with 100,000 new meanings to words already existing and some 225,00 revised definitions.


However you seem less interested in the evolution of the English language than in justifying your own personal prejudice and hatred.

Try thinking about how language has changed in reference to African American’s

Not all guys are made for girls, and not all girls are made for guys. God made some of us gay.

chapter and verse

My theory on why the word "gay" became a synonym for homosexual:

They wanted a shorter word, there is glad happy joy, etc.

so, they found a term that could be easily discarded to apply to homosexuals.

Great thread, reps.

And yes, children do deserve to be raised in a normal caring envirnoment with their natural parents, role models from each sex. It is God's plan.

 

[BAFRIEND]

God made me a homophobe, it is right there in Cor 6:9.

Please quote the chapter & verse where he made anyone a homosexual.

 

[OllieFranz]

My theory used to be that the name came from the fact that the Stonewall was just off Gay Street in the East Village. But I've since learned that the word "gay" was used this way for more than 100 years before the riots.

 

[Pogue]

Well, it's already been said. Language evolves and changes. Using the word 'gay' is not part of the gay agenda, because it doesn't exist. The meaning of a word can't become 'corrupted', especially not just because you believe what it now refers to is wrong.
Interestingly, the word 'girl' used to apply to both young females and young males.

There's no proven research where hatefulness is genetic or biological while there are hundreds that prove homosexuality can be recognized in differences in the brain and hormones.

If the problem were actually an irrational fear then I would understand. Such is not the case. Not as far as I know anyway.

Also I have a shocking fact for you: NOT EVERYTHING IS IN THE BIBLE. Pedophilia is never strictly mentioned in the Bible. It's inherently wrong. Pedophiles feel guilt and thats how they know it's wrong. Beastality is never technically. Incest, by some interpretations, may be encouraged. I'm not even going to touch polygamy. The point is, the Bible doesn't describe sin. It shouldn't have too. That's why God gives us the Holy Spirit. I've never met a homosexual that felt guilty. They feel guilt but homosexuality isn't one of the things they feel guilty about unless they simply weren't homosexual.

Homosexuality has constantly been linked with a mental problem, and as a matter of fact back in the 50's and so on, homosexuals were considered mentally ill and were put away. I'm not saying that homosexuals should be put away, but homosexuals DO have mental problems.

As for your statement in the 2nd paragraph, Everything is mentioned in the bible either specifically or indirectaly, concerning Pedophilia- ALL Sexuals sins are forbidden in the bible.

 

[BAFRIEND]

I've never met a homosexual that felt guilty.

Other than saving that quote, I will not even touch that out of politeness.

You aknowledge that pedophilia is not mentioned as well as homosexuality is not mentioned. That is an interesting take.

St. Paul constantily addresses the issue of the sexually immoral- specifically in Corinthians 6:9 were he addresses homosexual offenders.

Except whether or not pedophilia is a sexual sin is up for debate. The Bible never defines what is a sexual sin. You might as well say ALL sex is a sin if you're going to take a vague statement and make it fit your definition. Pedophilia is wrong because it's inherently wrong. Everyone feels it. That's the beauty of guilt.

As for the first statement, you're sadly mistaken. Many people take the research that has been done and twist it, but homosexuality is not linked nor is it a mental disorder. It's just a difference in the brain. In some homosexuals it's because of a rise (or just a different, I forget) hormone caused by a miscarriage prevention drug taken by their mother while they were still in the womb. In some it's because of a slightly bigger anterior commissure. But neither of this symbolize any mental health problem, just difference. Everyone's brain is a little different, it's what centers around our emotions and personality. So unless being overly emotional is not a mental disorder, you're wrong about this one.

And I'm studying this right now. Right now. From a recent text book. In a professional, third party psychology class. So don't try to pin this in homosexual propaganda sites.

Besides, if college textbooks can be dated in less than a year, fifty year old scientific data I can tell you is filled with holes so using it as evidence for anything is like going onto a racetrack with a 1970 Mustang and betting five thousand dollars on winning. Yeah.

So? One of the things about those times is they weren't sure either. The Bible was written first hand in their language and there were STILL Rabbi's that debated the meaning and limits of Scripture. The Highest Priests agreed on certain things but that didn't make them right. A boy would have to choose his Rabbi based on what the Rabbi's interpretation of the Scripture was. St. Paul was no better or more blessed than a Rabbi and he's one of the Scripture writers least directly influenced by God. I'm inspired by God too. But I'm not a scribe for Him. He isn't telling me what to write at every second. I write what I believe God wishes me too, and that's exactly how Paul had to work. He was simply motivated by seeing Christ with his own eyes to go along with it. But he had no divine knowledge. If he had I'm sure he would've claimed it but he never does.

As for the the OT, if the Rabbi's couldn't agree, why can we be so certain? Why can Rabbi's who read the Scripture in their own language, with years and years of study starting from childhood and so much spiritual emphasis that we can't comprehend it, why can they be undecided and in constant debate but you expect ME to believe "This is what is says live with it". I'm sorry but anyone with eyes can see that's not how the Scriptures work. The Scriptures are an inspired work, a tool to bring us closer to God, a guide to living SPIRITUALLY, but not neccesarily morally. The Bible is the history of God, of man, of Jesus and of the times to come. It was never intended to be "The Idiots Guide to a Moral Lifestyle". It's a history book. And like with all history, science, and nearly every other subject, you shouldn't take it at FACE value.

Scientists believe a theory is true but they know the quirks and minuscule details may not be all that accurate. Historians believe what happened during a certain time may be true but they don't claim that every event happened exactly as they predict it. Likewise, Christians should believe in God, know God exists, but we shouldn't look at the Bible (especially in a world where everyone tangible is massacred into an unrecognizable mess) and say "This is how it is". God gives us a chance for so much more. The Bible is awesome. It's definitely my favorite.

But if I could choose between having the Bible and having nothing, I would rather have nothing, because it's one less thing to distract me from talking, personally, to God.

Homosexuality was constantly linked with mental illness during the first part of the twentieth century, back when no extensive studies were actually done. Nowadays we know better.
