Context of "Homosexuality is an abomination"

[lord1234]

I'm from the "it ain't hurting me" school of thought on the cousin thing.

so how is homosexual marriage "hurting" you spantol? Personally as long as noone tries to give me the rogering in the wrong place I say let them do their own thing.

It's okay if it is two hot chicks. That is ALWAYS ok, and I do not have to get into ethics or the Bible to explain this - it is self-evident, we all know why this is. And with equality of gender in mind, it's okay for the opposite - although to me it's kinda gross. But two hot chicks going at it, that is ALWAYS ok and there should be channels on TV dedicated to this.

3 points for my man Miscue!

Religion is Man Made.

No, it's God-Breathed. All Scripture is God Breathed.

There is no sin worse than another.

Yes, that's true.

The Pharasees tried to trap Jesus with such questions. He said it all in his reply; Love the Lord thy GOD with all your heart and all your mind and love thy neighbor as thyself (you got the idea anyway).
He didn't say don't love gays, democrats or owners of Smart Parts Products.

Here you are correct, but I don't think it is in the way you meant it to be. We are indeed to LOVE everyone. However, loving does not mean approving of being a homosexual. Love the person, hate the sin, try to get them to stop.

Dude, re-read my posts. I'm the most pro-gay marriage straight guy around.

Okay, have you accepted that Constintine created the Bible? That HE, the pagan, Sun God fearing emporer compiled and completed the first set of modern Bibles? This isn't scetchy 2000 year old history, this is documented fact. There are diarys and journals from his advisors showing that he hand picked which gospels to use, which books to keep and which books to omit. The reason behind the selection was to make a religion that would unify his empire (give a strong moral code). That is documented.

As to whether God inspired the books. Well, since Constintine selected books that he wanted in his Bible, aren't all the books he left out "God Breathed". You know, like the Gospel of Mary or maybe those other Gnostic Books, Apocolyptic and not? Its also pretty well established that Mathew, Mark, and Luke were all written 70 years after the Crusifixtion of Christ and John another 30 years after that. My question is. Yes, I think that it makes sense to condemn homosexuality from a religious point of view IF you believe that the Bible is the literal word of God, not shaped by humans. However, I think that it is a bit ridiculous to expect everyone else (the people that don't believe esentially that God wrote the Bible through mortals) to follow the rules set down by a man that lived over 1500 years ago.

Yes, but I have faith that if God inspired the writing of the books, don't you think that he could make the Bible what we need to know? Just because those books were written later after Jesus' death doesn't mean they're not true. If God can work through men to write the book, then he can work through men to arrange which ones are true and which are not.

And coincedentally be perfect for Constintine's empire

I find its a natural urge in some people and don't give a hoot what they do in the privacy of thier own home.

Animals of all kinds have Homosexual tendencies. Its not unique to humans so it must be a missfire of the general tendencies that occurs in nature. So its to some degree a "Normal Abnormalty" so I do not condem them for their fate. No one would "chose" to be Homosexual. It would be a choice bringing on condemnation and ridicule. So it is in my opinion an uncontrolable tendency.

Law is another matter. If the majority of people find it fine to allow "marrage" then I would go along with that. But change the law so its legal. If not then I see no reason they cannot sign legal papers giving thier partners the same rights and privelages as is marrage. It makes no difference to me. It does not realy affect me either way.

Misfire? So, they are not quite sane? I agree with that. And the whole letter by jim is ignorance. He found some points and compleatly mised the context they were writen in. Jim is a brown noser....but hey at least he doesn't have a brown penis... or does he?

All I have to say is that, murder is A) illegal B) negatively effects the lives of the murdered aswell as the murdered families.

While on the contrary, the sexual acts that people engage in in their own home, is not going to hurt anyone.

And Please could you refrain from "flaming" people as this was a very civil discussion, so there is no need for slurs and vulgarity.

I really don't want this to be a political thread debating gay-marriage. (it will be closed) I want a realistic religious perspective of the Bible and its condemnation of homosexuality.

aren't we all created in "gods" image? did he have anything to do with the bible?

if above is true, in any facet. god must have had a bit of gay in him.
