Re: Hello all

Oh, another question. Because of my differed beliefs on the homosexuality debate, in your eyes, would I be going to hell even though I'm not homosexual myself?

Dominic, it is certainly nice to "meet" you!

To answer your question, it seems as if your beliefs differ with God Almighty and that's something to consider. You see, if you think you know better than the Creator of the Entire Universe, then that's some pretty major pride you have going on there. That pride is idolatry - you idolize your own intellect, your own self. Furthermore, you're not really following God's Word, but instead your own 21st century developed conscience. That shows you don't really trust Jesus, you trust your own ability to recognize right from wrong. So in answer to your question, yes, you will be placed on a spiritual coal chute straight to Hell the moment after you take your last breath unless you repent of this and accept Jesus Christ as your LORD and Master (Romans 10:9).

Re: Hello all

In all of your Bible reading, have you read anywhere that it says to forget all about Leviticus 18:22? I've read the Bible cover-to-cover 11 times and I must've missed that part.

Yours in Christ,

...But, I disagree with this forum's position on homosexuality...

It's not this forum's position, it's God's:

Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

My name is Dominic Deckys, I'm a 17 year old kid, I'm a senior in high school, and I want to study computer science at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

I attend a Christian Church in Boulder, Colorado.

I am a white, straight male.

My favorite bible verse is so:

Mark 12:31 The second is this:‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

I came to find Jesus when coming into high school, it was a tough time in my life, my grades suffered, and faith in god helped me get through that. My mother is a breast cancer survivor, and when she was diagnosed, it was hard for the whole family.

I am not trying to create debate, I joined this forum because I love god, and I want to speak with people who share my love.

But, I disagree with this forum's position on homosexuality. I think that god loves everyone regardless of the sexuality or race. I am a proud christian that loves his neighbor regardless of sex or race, and I go to a church that shares my views.

During my troubled time in high school, I had a friend who was VERY intelligent, and helped me get my act together and prepare myself for my future. Later I found out that he was homosexual. Love is love, and we are all gods children.

I don't believe in sex before marriage. I am opposed to smoking anything, and as a personal choice, I have decided not to drink regularly EVER, although I don't disagree with people who do decide to drink.

I have two cats. I have a little brother and a little sister, both of whom look up to me. I love my beautiful girlfriend, and we are very happy together. I enjoy participating in activities my church does, and I like helping others. But, most importantly, I love god and want to have him in my life, and do everything I can to help others and make a loving, more accepting world.

One of my favorite quotations.
