I reiterate my initial post... one shouldn't worry about how one treats homosexuals, any more than one should worry about how one treats heterosexuals... one should worry about how one treats PEOPLESure..lets try this again. Homosexuals should be treated exactly the way you would treat anyone else in your life. Why would u ever think you should treat us differently? I dont treat heterosexuals having premarital sex one way and others another...it's all insignificant.
Jesus isn't talking about homosexuals in this passage."Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these, you have done it unto Me."
Wait a second....Christ said plenty about homosexuality because Christ is God. ("I and the Father are One" and "Before Abraham was, I AM")I would remind the above poster that Christ himself never mentioned homosexuality!
Don't EVER say that about yourself!We are all sinners and I am no better than a homosexual,
Then you aren't an abomination to God. Homosexuals are, and whats worse, is they seek others to join their sinful ways!why not?
Sin is sin in God's eyes...it makes no difference. I am a saved sinner.
If the lifesyle continues unrepentent then yes, I agree. It is an abomination.Then you aren't an abomination to God. Homosexuals are, and whats worse, is they seek others to join their sinful ways!
Wow!, I bet God is reading this post and shaking his head. Homosexuals are not an abomination. Finished and klaar.Then you aren't an abomination to God. Homosexuals are, and whats worse, is they seek others to join their sinful ways!
Then you aren't an abomination to God. Homosexuals are, and whats worse, is they seek others to join their sinful ways!
Okay, which is it: do homosexuals claim that it is not a choice, or do they claim that it is a choice and they can recruit others into it?
Homosexuality is not a choice. And, while it does say in the Old Testament that it is an abomination, those laws were abolished between 30-34 AD.
The Levitical laws may or may not have been abolished, however the NT ALSO clearly speaks of the sinfulness of homosexuality, and it came along after 34 AD.
This passages talks very much to the subject of homosexuals. Actually I can think of no better metaphor for how some Christians deal with or react to our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters.Jesus isn't talking about homosexuals in this passage.
That you would missapply such a beatiful piece of scripture to abominations is truly sad!
May or may not?The Levitical laws may or may not have been abolished, however the NT ALSO clearly speaks of the sinfulness of homosexuality, and it came along after 34 AD.
just as eating shellfish is an abomination .Then you aren't an abomination to God. Homosexuals are, and whats worse, is they seek others to join their sinful ways!
you didn't actually address the excellent point made about how some people pick and choose from Leviticus in order to justify their own personal prejudice and why that practice is acceptable.Yeah I love it when people jump on the Leviticus rant, and try to say that the scriptures about homosexuality don't count, because people eat shell fish, etc. They don't bother pointing out how the list of things they throw out are no longer in affect, because like as Jesus stated, all foods are ok/not unclean. Or that the Priest wore the mixed fabric clothings, so others weren't to wear them. Or, Or, Or...............................
Honestly, how can anyone think that those points hold some cancellation affect on the sin of homosexuality. Or that if eating shell fish was still wrong, and eating it would mean that we can't say something else is a sin also.
Just because someone tells a lie doesn't mean that they can't say that murder is a sin and if those that sin (which is everyone) don't confess and repent of their sins they won't go to heaven.
Telling someone that homosexuality is a sin, and showing how the Bible states that murderers, liars, adultery, etc. will not inherit the Kingdom of God is just that. It is showing what the word of God tells us we need to know.
So if someone murdered someone, would showing them how what they did was wrong, was a sin, am I condemning them? Or am I trying to save them from a life in hell? If I show them how the Lord considers what they did, and what I have done is a sin while showing them how because of all our sins Jesus died for us to save us....................this is wrong huh? This is condemning them?
Well I guess in one way it is, but it isn't me condemning them. The word of God says what we have to do to take away the condemnation that we deserve, IF NOT FOR THE LORD.PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!!
I never said that homosexuals were an abomination. The sin of homosexuality is.Wow!, I bet God is reading this post and shaking his head. Homosexuals are not an abomination. Finished and klaar.
BTW, we are not seeking others to join our ways. Unlike you we realise that orientation is unchangeable. Why try change a heterosexual to a homosexual?
Sorry. Nope. It's still is an abomination.Okay, which is it: do homosexuals claim that it is not a choice, or do they claim that it is a choice and they can recruit others into it?

Certain translations cleary talk about it. It is up for debate whether the original meaning, in the original context, was in fact a prohibition for homosexual sex, or a prohibition against cult prostitutes, adultery, pagan rituals, and so on. It is also unclear whether those prohibitions were tageted only at the specific cultures and societies they were written in/sent to, or to all audiences.
