Re: homosexuality, it IS okay!

You are really are pretty stupid.

Now, that is not a very nice thing to say, don't you think.

So according to you, either God controls everything or He controls nothing? What a moronic and shallow thought!

Either he controls absolutely everything, or he does not (e.g. he controls almost everything). So he is either omnipotent, or he isn't.

Re: homosexuality, it IS okay!

Why not?

God could change everyone’s personality so that they cannot sin. This would also mean that we would not have a free will. We would not be able to choose right or wrong because we would be “programmed” to only do right. Had God chosen to do this, there would be no meaningful relationships between Him and His creation.

He gives us the ability to choose between right and wrong so we can have a meaningful relationship with Him.

Why not?

You expect mortal man to know what God thinks? Pretty presumptous. If man could do that, thered be no need for the Bible as everyone (except you of course) would "know it alls".

Re: homosexuality, it IS okay!

Why not?

Because God creates some people to be the vessels of His wrath.

11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth.
12It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

Re: homosexuality, it IS okay!

Well, either God is omnipotent and he determines who is gay and who is not.

Or he is not omnipotent.

It can't be both.

You are really are pretty stupid. So according to you, either God controls everything or He controls nothing? What a moronic and shallow thought!

If a man has a gun. must he use it to kill people? If a man does not have a gun, is he incapable of killing -This is just as ridiculous.

By the way, God is He, not 'it'.

He could get rid of all sins, including homerism, but He doesn't choose to.

Why not?

God is omnipotent and can do anything He pleases but He chooses to allow humans free will and make choices themselves. He could get rid of all sins, including homerism, but He doesn't choose to.

Re: homosexuality, it IS okay!

So, in your opinion, God is not omnipotent?

Where did anybody say that? Though He can stop people from sinning He chooses not to.

Edit: God has given us free will. People can choose to follow Him or to sin.

"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" Deuteronomy 30:19

"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15

"Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways." Proverbs 3:31

When and where did I say that? I said God gave people free will and homers choose to mis-use that gift.

Put words in my mouth again missy, and I'll have your father paddle you.

Re: homosexuality, it IS okay!

God does not 'make' anyone gay. Homers do it because God gave them free will and they CHOOSE to mis-use that gift

So, in your opinion, God is not omnipotent?

[James Hutchins]

Re: homosexuality, it IS okay!

So if God made someone gay, there should be no complaints either...

God does not 'make' anyone gay. Homers do it because God gave them free will and they CHOOSE to mis-use that gift and spit in the eyes of little baby Jesus.
Do you spit in baby Jesus's eyes?

Re: homosexuality, it IS okay!

If God made you a male at birth, who are you to tell God that he made a mistake?

So if God made someone gay, there should be no complaints either...

Re: homosexuality, it IS okay!

Homosexuality is OK! Why won't anyone get it through their thick skulls. It's a perfectly fine lifestyle. It's not a choice either. You guys who say that people who are gay aren't normal, why can you never consider someone else's views and maybe think: "Hmm...maybe they have a point?" Have you been brainwashed or something? Oh! That's it! Christianity is a scam to brainwash people to a certain point of view! Why didn't anyone think of that before! Oh wait! They did! Dammit, who worships a God who discriminates? I thought we were a civilized society. Apparently not....

If God made you a male at birth, who are you to tell God that he made a mistake? who are you to change what God creates?, maybe you would prefer to live in a Muslim country for a while, and then come back,(if your still alive), and tell us all about how we are racist. Only in America are the children of Satan allowed to run freely, amongst what few normals are left.

Re: homosexuality, it IS okay!

Homosexuality is . . . a perfectly fine lifestyle. It's not a choice either.

Really? First you say it's a lifestyle, then you say it's not a choice.

So, who compels you to put on women's clothing and makeup, then dance in nightclubs all night trying to pick up on similar-appearing "men"? That's the homosexual lifestyle, isn't it?

Dammit, who worships a God who discriminates?

Anyone who follows the Bible.

Anyone who follows Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, or pretty much any of the other false cults ALSO worships a god (technically, false god) who discriminates.
