Well I have to go by your ignorance in regards to the Bible when it comes to using small words with you. A biologist uh? Well then it should be even more clear to you that having a relationship with a spirit, that you can not see nor feel, seems absurd. Although this should be taken over to the other thread in reference specifically to this subject.


Exactly, this is a red herring... It doesn't belong here and is just empty retoric on your part.  

Quote:

Let me make this very simple for you, you are not suppose to judge others within your "Christan" world that you reside. You have in fact done so in regards to the original question, "what one thinks about gay couples". You have smeared this with Bible quotes and so called facts,  then have the gull to say,


That's just laughable.  You've done plenty of judging hypocrite.  I'm not judging anyone... All I'm saying is that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin.  You can feel free to make the conection.  

Quote:

That is correct, you and I are sinners and according to you the sin of the gay man or women is not accepted by your cult, correct? That is what you said in your post, right? So your own faith does not even accept you because why, your a sinner, we all are.

Do yo know that people go to church for all different reasons, if you want to find the greatest of all sinners step foot in a church, that is where they go to be healed and saved by your God.


You almost have it right.  People who live in intentional sin and claim to be sinless do not have a place in church.  Therefore people who are homosexual, but say I'm not sinning and I don't care what you think do not have a place in church.  They can repent their position and turn to God for the forgiveness of their sins.  If they want to do that, then they are free to return to the church.  

Quote:
Quote:
If you could care less about the Bible, which is a much greater work than your opinion, then why should I care about your opinion?


So now one has to believe in the Bible in order for you to validate their words, spoken like a true Christian slim.


No you don't have to believe in the Bible for your words to be validated, but bashing the Bible and expecting me to cling to your every opinion is flat out arrogant.  

Quote:
God is holy and perfect so he considers homosexuality a sin.


So people are born with disabilities and deformities because God is perfect and Holy, being born both genders and being forced to pick one.  Then live in fear that Christians such as yourself, will come along a spear them in the back with Bible quotes and justify their hatred by holding the book in front of them for protection? Great can't wait to come over to your house for Christmas, maybe you could give me a travel Bible so I can go around a regurgitate this onto others.



God is perfect and holy people are born broken and sinful.  The issue has nothing to do with our physical condition, but our relationship with God.  Homosexuals claim to be sinless, but that's the problem.  They cannot have a relationship with God untill they repent that position.

And by bashing gay couples and their rights as people and as Christians (by their definition, which is more sound then yours) to live as they wish by doing no harm to others, is racing to the finish line of arrogants.

definition of judgeing: {quote]  to form an estimate or evaluation of; especially : to form a negative opinion about <shouldn't judge him because of his accent>


Or in your case because of what they do to each other behind closed doors.

WEEEEEEEEEE round and round we go.

Quote:
We have our moral code that we live by.  If you don't like it... feel free to live however you want to live.  Just don't think that we're going to accept your lifestyle.



Um, not judging anyone slim? May you spend a moment to read what you wrote and try not to misread it. You state you are a Christian, right? Above, " Just don't think that we're going to accept your lifestyle."

Thin is judging slim, no stretch of the imagination, it is straight out saying that "your" people will not accept them, you consider them sinners and they will not be accepted by "your" people. Again as if you are a separate entity from those that are gay or sinners in general. So who is the hypocrite? As if you are better and that is judging.  


Once again you ALMOST have it right.  A sinner can enter a church. (building) They can hear the gospel.  If they respond to the gospel and repent, and turn to God for the forgiveness of their sins, then they are adopted into Gods family and join the Church. (universal)  However if they are gay, or alcoholics, or fornicators, or murders that refuse to give up their lifestyle and say that what they are doing isn't wrong, then they do no join the Church and do not become Christians.  You're flat out spreading lies concerning judging and the church.



Quote:
They cannot have a relationship with God untill they repent that position.

Quote:


I have gay friends and non of them have ever stated that they are sin free. You yourself admits that we are not sin free.But you the sinner have the balls to judge them and band them until they repent the rightful way in your eyes. Please.  

And the part about those being born broken was just an insightful take on a God that claims to be perfect and by all rights should make our lives perfect, but damn the apple. *Holds head in hands in laughter*


I have repented of my sins, and I continually strive to become more and more holy.  I am still a sinner, but I don't openly condone my actions or consider them ok.  Anytime I swear, speak in anger, lust in my thoughts I take full responsiblity for those actions and return to God in humility and ask for forgiveness.  That is the main distinction here.  They think that what they are doing is fine, and even try to justify it.  I justify nothing if it is wrong.  You continually try to justify your evil actions.

Sorry, but Christians do not have the RIGHT to be homosexual.  Their definition is definetly not sound.  If they want to convince the government that they deserve the same rights as heterosexual couples do, then thats fine by me.  My issue is with homosexuals that spread false doctrine by claiming that it's not a sin to be homosexual, and by homosexual I meen the actuall act of having sex with someone of the same gender.

Don't be ignorant.  Nearly all the evil in this world occours behind closed doors.  Everyone is guilty of it.

That's your opinion, and stop judging me

Oh and try to imagine a world where nobody is judged for what they do...

Kill someone?  Thats ok don't judge them.
Steal?  Thats ok don't judge them.
Only judge things that cause harm?  Isn't that your opinion as to what harm is?  You can't be the judge of that.  

You people live in a theoretical world where its ok to do whatever you want to.

That isn't what I meant.  All governments have their moral code, and most religions have a moral code.  I'm talking about the people who say "live and let live"  without any regards to how the world actually runs.  It's a pure theoretical stance that was blasted to death with the book Lord of the Flys  It's a world with no rules, no order, and leads to death and chaos.

Moral code is not a synonym for law.

Some synonyms for Law from Merriam-Webster dictionary
:LAW, RULE, REGULATION, PRECEPT, STATUTE, ORDINANCE, CANON

Moral codes are the likes of the Golden Rule etc.

perfection is in the eyes of the beholder.



basically, if you are a homosexual christian, then god is gay. if your not he is straight. this concept can work on so many levels.

to most people, this issue doesn't matter. if god doesn't like gays, then he is a homophobe and should burn in hell. if he does, then he is a homophile and should burn in hell. this arguement can go around and around, with no right or wrong.

the main problem is that we have no idea what god likes, because if we see him in an afterlife, we have no way of going back to people and say "actually, he does like family guy, AC/DC and the works of edgar allen poe, but he isn't too keen on evangelicals, satanists or the Akira movie." even if there is a after life, which most of us doubt, it will be much the same as this one, just harder, with a big boss at the end, with a few more interesting weapons (man, i have to really stop playing Zelda: twilight princess)

So in your denomination (which is completely different then stating "Christians" as your people) you have this code that what, everyone gets stamped on their head before entering the church so yo guys know who to go and biblically hang?

Don't bring the government up as some backbone to your already outlandish ways of trying to make the rest of us think is normal. Have your freaky code that you follow, but don't try to pass it of as some law to the rest of us sane individuals.

Shouldn't you be off somewhere saving seahorses or something?
