Re: Being Gay is a CHOICE: End of Discussion

Religion will only get you so far, even into the afterlife. Now, I can understand the idea behind religion, and the reason to believe is to have faith, but when you take some things to far, it goes to far. I see the bible as more as a guideline than a Book of rules to live by.

That's not what the Holy Bible says!

Matthew 12:30:
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Wait... but if you don't like it, you're not gay, right?

Right?

what is known as cognitive dissonance.

but in the addled world inhabited by these well inocculated specimens, animated by C. G. Jung and Thomas Aquinas, one may draw "energy" from conflict

Re: Being Gay is a CHOICE: End of Discussion

Ooooo, completely agree with this thread. We can't force everyone to be straight and to be Christians though, I mean it is their own choice.

When God loves you, a person or a family or a nation, everything He does for you reflects His love. Throughout history there is testimony to His Lovingkindness.


Psalm 17:7 Shewe thy marueilous louing kindnesse, O thou that sauest by thy right hand, them which put their trust in thee, fro those that rise vp against them.

Isaiah 63:7 I will mention the louing kindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on vs; and the great goodnes towards the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them, according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his louing kindnesses.

People are always free to choose. God didn't say that people may not choose homosexualism: He said that if they did they should be killed.

Leviticus 18:22
Leviticus 20:13

God has explained why that is necessary on many occasions, a couple of which I could link to:

In Colossians 3:5 we are informed by God that being chauffeured around by one's genitals is a form of IDOLATRY. The modern secularist, the modern false "christian" would have us believe that Old Testament Law was only relevant to "those times" and that a bit of moon worship or temple prostitution or prancing sodomy is OK, in accordance with our modern and enlightened value systems.

But any form of uncleanness is idolatrous and that is unacceptable to God.

Exodus 22:20 Hee that sacrificeth vnto any god saue vnto the Lord onely, hee shall be vtterly destroyed.
©1611

God made sure that we understood why the filth of sexual misconduct is still an abomination in the age of Grace. An ex-sodomite may be forgiven by Jesus - but that does not mean that sodomy is now somehow OK.

In Deuteronomy 13:13 God outlines how certain vile persons (people like tehnoobydude) will prate and deceive and lead others astray and He is quite specific what should happen next:

DEUTERONOMY 13
15 Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that citie with the edge of the sword, destroying it vtterly, and all that is therein, and the cattell thereof, with the edge of the sword.
16 And thou shalt gather all the spoile of it, into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burne with fire the citie, and all the spoile thereof euery whit, for the Lord thy God: and it shall be an heape for euer, it shall not bee built againe.
17 And there shall cleaue nought of the cursed thing to thine hand, that the Lord may turne from the fiercenesse of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and haue compassion vpon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers;
©1611

Paul had the training of a Pharisee Acts 23:6; he understood The Law and knew what he was writing about. He was indeed well placed to communicate God's Word about idolatry and vice. Paul knew that..

DEUTERONOMY 17
2 If there bee found among you within any of thy gates which the Lord thy God giueth thee, man or woman that hath wrought wickednes in the sight of the Lord thy God, in transgressing his couenant,
3 And hath gone and serued other gods, and worshipped them, either the Sunne, or Moone, or any of the hoste of heauen, which I haue not commanded,
©1611

..the punishment specified BY GOD was set out quite plainly:

Deuteronomy 17:5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man, or that woman (which haue committed that wicked thing) vnto thy gates, euen that man, or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones till they die.

God loves us very much John 3:16 because we believe what He has said. Who do they think they are who would lead us astray? We have God's Perfect Love and His Inerrant Word. They seem to have read at least some of it. There is no common ground with the heathen secularism of "the modern era" and God is clear what will become of them. Did they not read even the next few lines? Was that too taxing an ordeal?

JOHN 3
18 He that beleeueth on him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because hee hath not beleeued in the Name of the onely begotten Sonne of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loued darknesse rather then light, because their deedes were euill.
©1611 READ ALL OF JOHN 3 HERE

Unlike the atheistic communistic secular heathen libertine, we accept God's Word and walk in His Light and we will NOT be deceived by their weasel words and their fluttering eyelids and their invitations to HELL. Why should they ever think we would?

Praise God for His Lovingkindness Jeremiah 32:18

There are two things that work. If you can't pray the gay away beat it out of them in Jesus' name.

Re: Being Gay is a CHOICE: End of Discussion

One time, I thought I was gay.
But then I realized I wasn't.
And I realized that the girl I loved was with me the whole time.
And then she got hit by a car, and died.

Am I going to hell?

I didn't see any mention of accepting Jesus as your personal Saviour.
