Where Do You Stand On Homosexuality?

[mont974x4]

first, "my good luck with that" comment was in response to lemonboy. I apologize for any confusion.

Slip,
From the creation account in the Bible, man is the only living being that God breathed life into, this is why I say we have a soul while animals do not. Not having a soul means sin is not an issue for animals. Man does have a soul, so sin is an issue.


I hope you didn't expect me to let you use the Bible to attack my beliefs and have me not use it to defend mine?

I am merely explaining my view, not trying to attack someone elses. I do, on occassion, ask for verification so I can fully understand why a person thinks what they think for the sake of the discussion.

ok im' confused... how many times a day do you christians say go created everything in this world and the next... yet here you are standing here telling me god only gave life to humans...

care to explain that to me?

[mont974x4]

yes, I can. God did create everything. I didn't deny that. He spoke everything into existence but He only breathed into man.

in essense, animals are in no way shape or form diffrent from humans, we both as a species have alot (if not all) the same 'innards' and same body systems (skeletal, blood, nervous, and so on) the only thing that really seperates us from dogs (medically speaking, we're also seperate cuz they are pets and we're not, but ignore that part, slightest little thing in history could of changed that all) is thier bodys (shape and stuff like that) and the fact we don't know how to fully communicate with them....

First I agree with you. Second, by your description, animals are actually smarter than us because THEY have learned our language in order to communicate with us. Dogs sit, cat's use a specific place to go to the bathroom. This is not instinct, this is learned

Most people don't have the slightest clue what their animal is saying to them, yet their animal will obey, because they know what your saying.

Just wanted to add to the point is all.

I like you Mont, seriously! So please don't take any disrespect by this.

The bible is a book BASED on whole books. I think it isn't ment by GOD to be taken so literally. It was written by man after all. No matter what version, it is still a story. It is okay if you disgree, I am just responding to your new posts.

ok.. this post made me think of something (and it' snot directed at you, it's directed at the christains) if, god is against homosexuality... and the damn bible says in it "do not judge, fore ye will be judged as well" why doy ou christians so openly bash gays? your book says not to judge, which would even include gays... if you really believe in your god.. then stop voting against gay marriage, stop openly bashing gays and let "your god" deal with them as he (bible) says he will, you're not god, you're not related to god, you have no right to judge as if you were god.

I myself am Christian but i am not prejudice against gays. I don't necessarily think it is right or natural but it is their body and they can choose to do what they wish. God gave us all free will right? Excellent post. In the bible i think somewhere it says homosexuality is wrong but it never says treat them badly or discriminate against them. The bible is also very anti-killing and anti-murder, yet Jesus says to visit those in prisons and be kind to all, ESPECIALLY THOSE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY SOCIETY. He would hang out with lepers who were considered sinners and punished by God. Jesus loves all even gays and murderers and all other kinds of people. It is extremely wrong for Christians to be gay-bashing. IT is ANTI-CHRIST. It goes against the ways of Jesus.

so because he blew his stinky breath on us, we're instantly forced to deal with sin... yea that makes so much sense... quit twisting words to fit the application... either homosexuality is wrong in all of god's creatures, or you christians use the supposed sin of homosexuality to openly hate another human being you don't understand... homosexuality is not a choice.. just like you don't choose whether you find girls attractive (if your male) or if you find guys attractive (if your female) they dont' choose either....

i commend you dude... finally, a christian with a logical head on their shoulders... you are the type of christian i have nothing against, you don't twist words to fit whatever you're saying, you say it as it is in the book and take it that way... you have what i like to call true faith, which is where you follow the bible and dont' just twist things as you see fit against things you dislike/dont understand.

again i commend you...

actually the bible itself has already been "twisted" so to speak. In order for a book to be read by the public, a book needs to be 'put out there'. It needs, what they call today, a publisher. Back when the Bible was put together, the Roman Catholic Church was the publisher. It decided what went into this book. In this case, what books went into this book; what authors were good enough for it; what information they wanted made public and what information they did not want made public.

The Romans and The Greeks, who were Roman Catholis were also VERY gay. So talk about a hypocritical bunch writting a book that is to be lived by thousands of years later.
