So you assume you know who "God " is and what "God" thinks and feels?
Sorry, the God of the Bible detests all sin. When there's a verse that says the wages of sin is death, i think it's fairly easy to make that statement.

I think the reason that people are so worried about homosexuality being a sin is b/c most people don't struggle with it. Everyone struggles with lying etc... so it's commonplace so it's accepted that it occurs. But you have such a small amount of the population that struggles with homosexuality that it's easier to condemn that sin b/c the majority don't understand why or how you could be attracted to the same sex. There is references to sexual perversion in the Bible that condemn it though.
I def think there is a genetic predispositioning toward homosexuality and I don't think it's a choice in some instances. I think it's a struggle like everything else. I know I'll catch flack for this but if you think about it like an addiction (not equating the 2) and that some people are genetically easily addicted to drugs / alcohol and so they will spend a lot of time struggling with that genetic predisposition. The choice comes in to play if they choose to indulge in it. I feel some of it is the same with homosexuality. If you are a christian and want to follow christ I'm sure that is a difficult predisposition to reconcile with Christianity. I watched a suitemate of mine go through that and it was hell for him.
I would not commit suicide if I had a son or daughter who was gay. I won't lie and say I would be pleased (there's no way i would ever sever ties b/c of it) b/c I think that most people want the traditional view for their child. Most don't watch children grow up and say I hope steve finds a nice boy to marry (that's an assumption on my part, but I'm willing to guess it's fairly accurate). I would hope that i would love my child regardless. I'm sure we'd have discussions about it, but it's not worth cutting someone off b/c they are gay. Those are the sad stories when they occurr, Jesus called us to love everyone.
Why, thank you for that response. I am glad that you can accept that being gay could be a genetic thing.
I fully respect this....and I wish you the best in your quest to learn...I'm serious, I feel if something makes you happy and fullfilled, and it doesn't hurt anyone or anything, then keep on keepin' on...
thanks, I hope it actually can help people at different times. Have a good one.

The Bible told you this?
Who wrote the Bible? Are you certain "God" wrote the Bible?

Through study, i BELIEVE it was inspired by God and written by men. Is this the discussion where you say it was assembled to manipulate man and they purposefuly left out passages and the people who put it together had an unholy agenda? b/c if it is, I've had the conversation before and we're just going to spin wheels. Are certain God didn't write / inspire the bible and can you prove it to be a farce?

Well yeah, finish reading the Bible. These are all old laws that Paul said was nailed to the cross with Jesus. They fit the need at the time for a nation to grow and prosper. Jesus is law now according to the Bible and the Jews have lost their favored position. I've read the Bible cover to cover a few times. Personally, I'm not a big pusher of the bible, but this post is rediculous.
If you think homosexuality is a sin, don't engage in it or associate with those who do. Keep yourself clean with God if you believe he hates such things and do not be watching your neighbor as to what he will do. It is none of your business. The Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
If you are gay, don't pretend to be a Christian. Do you know how ignorant that makes you look? Homosexuality is cleary outlawed in Scripture in both Testaments. How can a preacher be gay an not a hypocrite?
If you don't believe the bible, then why the fuck would you care if anyone likes it or not if you are gay? Be gay, fuck it. You'll make me want to puke, but go ahead if you want, what do I care? Spread disease like the rest of us if you want. I'm not fucking anyone in your gene pool anyway.

Did you miss the part in here about being born gay. So if your kid is gay and you can't tell when he/she is three months old. You are sinning by taking them to church? And how would you react to your child telling you that they are gay. Put a bullet in their head? Wonder how your weak genes could screw up a life so easily? Would god look down on you because you created a homo? Curious......
edit: Were you born christian or whatever floats your boat? Or did you learn it through your parents? Could you have explored other religions or was the one that was rammed down your throat the right one? Again, curious.......

Come now and Listen babe!
I got a reason why I behave
like a child with a light in its eyes
runnin naked on a cold winter night
i'm like a pigeon thats spreadin it wings
to fly away to better things
Here's the thing: God is a concept by which we measure our pain. Jesus is a Mexican working at AppleBees. The bible is God's first book. Give him a break.

So kind of like the Earth. God may want another chance at doing it properly? Is it working on a trilogy of bibles?
I have met that jesus at AppleBees and he walks on boiling grease and can part his own hair.
If there was a "god" Britney Spears would have no career.
now THAT is worth pondering. Well, there is free will for mankind, but i'm sure God thought twice about free will when he saw that one on the horizon. I'm sure he was thinking, surely the humans won't be THAT stupid... oh contraire

I think her 15 minutes is up, she passed the torch to K-Fed.
Stix and Stones may break my bones, but More than Words will never hurt me.
So, the New Testament makes up for all things wrong with the Old Testament? There are only two rules outlined in the New Testament?

My boat doesn't float.
There is no proof to support the existence of any "god".

So are you sinking?
Flying.
My feet are sinking in the sun and it ain't fun

I've had more than just a few people tell me I look like the traditional, white (version of) portraits of Jesus. It's weird when they say that to me.
Although, many years ago a woman at rock club said that to me, and then she made me breakfast in the morning. So I suppose it has it's benefits:D
hopefully we learn from our mistakes and he's done too...not going to hold my breath
My Ass Just Hit The Ground. MAJHTG, there ya go. That's better than LMAO isn't it?
