Re: Being Gay is a CHOICE: End of Discussion

I see the bible as more as a guideline than a Book of rules to live by.

Then you obviously haven't read it. The Bible is very clear on the point that it is to be followed absolutely.

Matthew 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

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.

Re: Being Gay is a CHOICE: End of Discussion

What do you gain out of "pointing out someone is hell-bound according to Scripture" though? Killing them isn't going to solve anything, and forcing them to change their "devilish" ways isn't going to help either. They are only going to revolt. Everyone's God's are different, isn't God really your conscience telling you right from wrong?

I have never killed a sodomite and I have no plans to (secular law forbids it). Nope, I am trying to get people to read the Bible and join me in Heaven! That's what God wants, too.

(2 Peter 3:9) "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

Re: Being Gay is a CHOICE: End of Discussion

Hmm, according to you there's tons of proof God exists. But where I stand, religion is pointless. I'm not even saying God doesn't exist. I'm only saying religion in General is useless. You're bashing homosexuals all because religion says so.

Please do not confuse "bashing" with "pointing out someone is hell-bound according to Scripture" my friend.

Re: Being Gay is a CHOICE: End of Discussion

Without the Bible, how do you know anything about God or even whether He exists?

Re: Being Gay is a CHOICE: End of Discussion

Hmm, the bible never saved any lives, just read right there as it says "2 Chronicles 15:13
Whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman." It's very clear to me, and many people that RELIGION, not god, may I remind you, I'm not an Athiest has killed more people then it saved. You may think you are saving them for the afterlife, but afterlife or not, it doesn't matter. Living is living, but I just think that I have a clearer mind when I don't have religion crowding it.

Re: Being Gay is a CHOICE: End of Discussion

I'll be perfectly blunt here, I don't believe in religion, not that I am an Athiest, I just don't believe in any religion I feel it has no reason, or it is useless. But I am not about to provide scripture for something you know is true, and right. I take personal responsibility for all that I say and do, and yes you are right I don't quite accept everyone. But the difference between me and you is that at the very least I can tolerate them, and tell me. Where does it say that you should deny and neglect, torture even, people with differences?

It says unsaved trash deserve to die. Right here:

2 Chronicles 15:13
Whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

Re: Being Gay is a CHOICE: End of Discussion

You took my words completely out of context, I don't mean to offend anyone here. Simply saying, there is no freewill is wrong, because if we had no freewill then we would all worship God and be straight Christians, but there are Homosexuals, Muslims, and Catholics...

The Bible says we are not supposed to accept unsaved trash. Why don't you read the Bible? Then you will understand what is right and what is wrong.

2 John 1:10-11 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Re: Being Gay is a CHOICE: End of Discussion

Exactly my point, if he didn't create us all the same, then we should accept the people whom are different from us.

See the passage from Romans that I quoted above. Where does it say in the Bible that the vessels of mercy should accept the vessels of wrath?

And of course you just neglected to provide Scriptural support for that view. Well, here's your chance.

Really? Do you accept people who are different from you? If you say that you accept people with different sexual preferences how many peodo frinds have you got. I assume you wouldn't push them away just because of their sexual preference would you??
