That is up to the Lord to decide, not anyone here.

What did you expect? Some people sitting behind their screens handing out awards?

Only God knows when you have taken the next step.

Oh, by the way Billy Bob Jenkins, quoting the same thing again in unhelpful. Please read the previous posts....

Well why did you ask the question a second time, if the one answer was sufficient?

Re: Lesbians

That's like the 50th time we've been asked that question.

Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

If you have a question, use the "search" function before posting it. Most likely it is being discussed somewhere on this Godly forum. Please don't waste God's precious bandwidth.

Firstly let us look at what GOD, The Flying Spaghetti Monster has to say on the subject of sexuality

The Eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts"

3. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Judge People For The Way They Look, Or How They Dress, Or The Way They Talk, Or, Well, Just Play Nice, Okay? Oh, And Get This In Your Thick Heads: Woman = Person. Man = Person. Samey = Samey. One Is Not Better Than The Other, Unless We're Talking About Fashion And I'm Sorry, But I Gave That To Women And Some Guys Who Know The Difference Between Teal and Fuchsia.

4. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Indulge In Conduct That Offends Yourself, Or Your Willing, Consenting Partner Of Legal Age AND Mental Maturity. As For Anyone Who Might Object, I Think The Expression Is Go F*** Yourself, Unless They Find That Offensive In Which Case They Can Turn Off the TV For Once And Go For A Walk For A Change.

So if it does not offend you or your partner, God is fine with it.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster also adds this advice:

8. I'd Really Rather You Didn't Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You If You Are Into, Um, Stuff That Uses A Lot Of Leather/Lubricant/Las Vegas. If The Other Person Is Into It, However (Pursuant To #4), Then Have At It, Take Pictures, And For The Love Of Mike, Wear a CONDOM! Honestly, It's A Piece Of Rubber. If I Didn't Want It To Feel Good When You Did IT I Would Have Added Spikes, Or Something.

Now the people here only like to see things from their favourite book The KJV-CFT, so lets have a closer look at Romans 1, not just cherry picking the few words that appear to support the party line on lesbians.

If you scroll up a little in Romans 1 from what Zekie Boy posted...

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

With that read before 26-28 you get:

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections

So their lust and sexual misconduct was the will of "god" as punishment for being ungodly and unrighteous. So all you can take from that is that "god" turned the women in to Lesbians to piss the blokes off, not because he had anything against girl on girl action.

Re: Lesbians

Jo, perhaps you can help me in your Pastafarian wisdom. In the Eight I really rather you didn'ts, number four is quite troubling to me (actually all are troubling, but this one inparticular). I know one of the themes of the eight I really rather you didn'ts is the idea of people being of legal age and mental maturity, but it seems to me that this is rather arbitarary. For instance, I can imagine a society where the legal age is far higher than what people would consider to be mentally mature, conversly, I can imagine a society where the legal age is far less and while the mental maturity could be argued to be the same in all societies I highly doubt it is. In fact the idea of mental maturity is a fairly recent one, so perhaps you could explain why His Noodleness would want His divine will to be subject to the societal norms of any given culture?

Anyway on topic. Lesbianism is clearly wrong as it goes against the natural way which God created man and woman. To think of two women rubbing up nude against one another just makes me sick!

Oh, by the way Billy Bob Jenkins, quoting the same thing again in unhelpful. Please read the previous posts....

Women were created to be helpers and wives to men, not women. If God created women to be helpers to other women it would say so in the Bible, but this simply isn't so.

Genesis 2:18-24

18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

There's absolutely no mention of a women leaving her father and mother and cleaving to another women. The Bible is quite clear on this. Women were created for men, and only men.

Mental maturity is not governed by the society within which an individual lives, but by the personal growth of the individual concerned, they may well be of maturity before they reach legal age for a particular society, but secular law dictates that they are still too young, conversely they may not have reached an adequate level of mental maturity by the time they are of age as dictated by the secular law of the society within which they live.

Personally I feel the instance of a person being of legal age but not of suitable mental maturity is going to be higher then the converse.

It should be noted that this applies to many things in life.

If you consider the the concept of mental maturity to be a new idea, then that is just a case of society itself maturing.
