I don't think so either. But again, if we are to walk like Christ we need to model his actions. Christ obeyed all OT laws on sexual morality.I never said HE would have had made love or been in love in man, all I stated was that for a man who preached love I dont believe he would have been prejudiced against anyone.
Bless you as you work this through, bro.I can't see how it wouldn't be. I just don't understand how two Christians (in this case two men) living together in a committed loving way could be the horrible evil described in some bible translations.
I don't say this lightly at all - I've struggled with this since I entered puberty. I've always known what I was attracted to, but always felt condemned by two or three verses.
Trying to reconcile ones sexuality with some translations (or perhaps incomplete or out of context translations / teachings) is something any intellectually honest gay Christian has to do.
This forum serves a legitimate and helpful purpose.
Peace
Christ did not define what marriage isn't, and He never said that marriage is ONLY between a man and a woman.Christ defined marriage as between a man and a woman, so I disagree with this.
I guess Christ is a liar when he discusses marriage between a man and woman.Christ did not define what marriage isn't, and He never said that marriage is ONLY between a man and a woman.

The Bible was not written to general audiences, you need the context, and Christ never even mentioned homosexuality being wrong.I guess Christ is a liar when he discusses marriage between a man and woman.
None of your links discuss marriage. Read Mt. 19:4-9 instead.
Dear Tulc,
We dont see focusing on adultery as dehumanising straights, so why do gays see focusing on buggery as dehumanising?
God did not mess up when He created anyone, He loves to delight in all He has created.
This isnt complicated theology its common sense.
There are 5 NT passages which affirm this and cite Genesis 2. In Matthew 19 and Mark 10 we see Jesus calls fornication and adultery breaking this marriage and offers only celibacy as the alternative. We see in the Bible other forms of sex condemned including same-sex sex 9 times ( as previously cited)
Any objections in my view are baseless lies as far as Christianity is concerned.
We are referring to the sin, what word would you use? Please insert the word you would like and the answer the question...Calling it "buggery"? that's offensive,
[SIZE=-1]To me its common sense that an all loving God won't have a problem with a deep romantic love between a couple of the same sex.[/SIZE]
From the time Moses delivered the law, to the Israelites, ca. 1200 BC, until the present, Jewish scholars interpreted the O.T. scriptures as condemning ALL same gender sex acts; by ALL persons, male and female; at ALL times, in ALL places, and under ALL circumstances, NO exceptions. The early church fathers also interpreted the scriptures as condemning ALL homosexual acts, with[SIZE=-1]And there have been numerous posts and links posted in this and other threads which demonstrate not everyone agrees with the interpretations of these verses.[/SIZE]
to me its common sense he might and He does. See Genesis 2, 19, Judges 19. Leviticus 18 & 20, 1 Corinthians 5-7 , 1To me its common sense that an all loving God won't have a problem with a deep romantic love between a couple of the same sex.
Well I know non-believers are those who dont believe, but I haven’t seen them cite any scripture that countenances same-sex sex, so their argument seems baseless which is what I still maintainAnd there have been numerous posts and links posted in this and other threads which demonstrate not everyone agrees with the interpretations of these verses.
I think from the beliefs the “fellow Christians” were Christians what you have been helped to is away from Christ. One of us is wrong, the devil comes to steal and destroy, but Jesus comes to give life in abundance. Clearly we have two different religions or beliefs here, the Christ I have faith in doesn’t not appear to be the same one you have faith in.I myself was driven away from my beliefs in the church by being endlessly criticised by "fellow Christians". Fortunately the wonderful woman in my life has helped guide me back to Christ
Ah that does sound like the Spirit of God according to Jesus teaching.and I know from my own personal spiritual experiences that he loves me and excepts me for me.
Any objections in my view are baseless lies as far as Christianity is concerned.
We are referring to the sin, what word would you use?
Could it be because being gay is about more then who you sleep with? Is being a straight man only about having sex with women? If not, then why reduce being gay to that?We dont see focusing on adultery as dehumanising straights, so why do gays see focusing on ??????? as dehumanising?
Thank you for this, tulc!Call it what you will, if your goal is to insure that not a single gay person you talk to will ever hear another word you say after that one leaves your mouth.

tulc(it does make it easier to see them as only evil though doesn't it?)
