I thought this thread was to express how one dislikes homosexuals as a group? Not nitpicking over semantics.
It's not inaccurate or misleading if I state exactly what I mean. Which I have. Three times now. I don't care what kind of life you live, as long as it honors God. Deciding to live as a homosexual rather than celibate is dishonoring to God, as it ignores what He's given us in His word, which you so blatantly dismiss by calling it inaccurate without any evidence as to why.
Yes I do insiste, because there is a difference. If there wasn't a difference, there would be no need for the differentiation between the two. And yes, I hope to see more gays choose celebacy, because that's what God wants as He has expressed in His word. That's fact per the Bible, but you don't care and seem to want to correct me every time I express my view. That's crap. There's no reason for you to do that. I say what I mean and mean what I say.
Statistics, please?
You've just met one.
Do you think there're going to remain celibate by hanging with those who press for practicing the lifestyle (yes, I'll continue to call it that, as I've clarified what I mean)?
Have fun deluding yourselves, then. I go by the Bible, which is not a religion, but a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. Nicene Creed.
Why should gay people want it? Because it doesn't leave you fulfilled. You want more and more. Why? Because it is sin, plain and simple.
I? I expect others to do what I haven't done? Read between the lines:
_______________________
I have SSA's and choose to remain celibate, never have sex or a romantic relationship with other men, to honor God in what He has commanded about homosexuality.
_______________________
I'm free to marry women. The Bible permits it. You are free to marry men. The Bible permits it. I live my life by the Bible. Why is that so hard for you to accept? Why is that so difficult to understand? I'm not pressing anyone on this site to choose what I've chosen. I'm not harassing people to not be gay. I'm stating what the Bible says on the issue, and what 'science' says on the issue. In the process a bit of my opinion might get thrown in, but even that is what I've deduced from the information that I have researched about homosexuality and my own conscience.
Not all people call them Christians either. Christian. Christ-follower. I've repeated that to you before.
Are you done scrutinizing me? Are you done spouting off on how misguided you apparently think I am? My views aren't changing. I don't expect yours to. But I do expect you to show at least a little respect for what I've chosen to do. I do expect you to live by what you've claimed to be- a Christian. I don't expect you to change your mind just for my sake- it's God's job to do the convincing. Call me young and nieve, I don't care. But don't keep pressuring/riduculing/ripping on me in the decisions I've made about this issue. That's rude.
