Re: Is it ok to be homosexual?

First off, please don't ban me because I have a different viewpoint, I just want to open up some fruitful discussion.

Being gay is not something that someone chooses to be. Sure, someone's sexual orientation can be affected by social conditions and outside influence, but for the most part it is a genetic difference within people. This has been proven by the fact that many animals (which is what we are) practice homosexuality in certain influences. So don't say gay people choose to be that way. Why would someone choose to be subjected to discrimination and bigotry?

On a different note (excuse me for getting a little of course here), the comment about how Obama deals with Muslims really struck a chord with me. A bad chord. My family recently housed a Moroccan college student who was studying at the local university. Yes, he is Muslim. And yes, he is one of the nicest people I have ever met. So he has a different religion, but he's the same person as you and me. So remember, when you reject another person, you reject yourself as well.

Peace, please don't delete my post or ban me, I would sincerely like to hear what you all have to say.

You will not be banned for disagreeing, but you could be if you are disrespectful.

You have raised the same tired old points that have already been answered. Try reading through these threads before spouting off.

Also, please do not derail threads about queers with all this talk about sand nigras. There are other threads devoted to such topics.

Finally, if you want to post on our forum, please make a thread of your own in the "introductions" section of the forum. Tell us who you are and whay church you attend, etc.

Re: Is it ok to be homosexual?

Bull. I do not always think about sex. That would be considered a generalization. Not everyone is the same.

Thinking about sex with other men is committing the sin of sodomy, because you are sinning in your heart.

It doesn't matter how frequently or infrequently you do it.

Say it with me: Homosexuality is incompatible with Christianity, and also with any of the major world religions.

Re: Is it ok to be homosexual?

Why are you queers so wrapped up in yourselves? All you think about is sex! That isn't normal.

God wants you to think about Him.

Re: Is it ok to be homosexual?

You have NO idea because you are not gay. It is not a choice! So I could be gay and not do anything about it. Stay single for the rest of my life.

But inside I would still be gay.

Yes, and if you were celibate, and perhaps became a eunuch for Christ, you would remove from yourself the sin of sodomy.

You would not be a Sodomite, condemned to eternal torture in Hell.

However, under your current course, you plan to commit acts of sodomy -- sins -- without repentance.

Repentance doesn't mean feeling guilty and saying you're sorry afterward, it means realizing that your sin hurts God, and stopping it, and never doing it again.

You are unrepentant, and will die in your sins if you continue on your current path.

Don't like it?

Tough. Take it up with God. He writes the Law, we just report it.

Really, I don't see why you continue to insist upon being Christian, when clearly you would rather worship a god you make up for yourself. Why not just become a Unitarian or something?

Re: Is it ok to be homosexual?

How would you know?! Are you gay? I dont think so. Sure you could go for another woman (assuming your a woman), that is your choice, but are you physially attracted to men? If yes, your straight.

For me, I am physically attracted to men. Sure I could go your a woman, that would be a choice. But I'm not PHYSICALLY attracted to women, so I would just be hurting myself.

Re: Is it ok to be homosexual?

You choose your actions.

You choose to reject God and worship the flesh, instead of either raising up Soldiers for Christ or being celibate.

Those are your choices, which you make.

Since you don't care about God enough to put aside your own "personal fulfillment" so you can live as He intended -- as His servant, like we all are intended to be -- why would you think He will reward you for rejecting Him?

Re: Is it ok to be homosexual?

Sure, you do.

Does someone compel you to shove your tallywhacker in another man's behind? Somehow, I doubt that.

You act of your own free will.

Wrong again.

What part of "homosexuals choose to rebel against God" can you not understand?

Re: Is it ok to be homosexual?

OK
Then god created Satan and homosexuals.
Then Satan took the homosexuals with him to lead them against god.

WHATEVER!

The title of this thread is "Is it ok to be homosexual?".

The answer is "No, it's qweer!"

End of discussion.

Re: Is it ok to be homosexual?

Nope, I did not have a good teaching.

God created Satan (Granted)
but then Satan made homosexual minions to fight against god.

Please show me where in the Bible you see Satan creating anything.

Start with the Bible in a Year section on this very forum.
