Homosexuals and marriage

Whatever floats your boat.
You wanna have more than one love partner, and all partners know about the situation and they approve, then go for it.

 

i can respect that. :cheers2:

 

Romans
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;

1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.


[SIZE=-1](1:31-32)
"They which commit such things are worthy of death."
Homosexuals (those "without natural affection") and their supporters (those "that have pleasure in them") are "worthy of death."

I think this is where the christians found their hatred of homosexuals

Wait. I want a real beer...

 

I support gay marriage as long as they aren't black.

 

The funny thing is, they think God controls everyones life and thoughts, but if they did, everyone would believe in the same thing, am I right?

 

I do not think they believe in God controlling all thought

I am not highly religious either

 

seems like they had to look pretty hard for an excuse...

it's 2 pm, maybe even 1 pm where you are... freakin' alcoholic!

free will.

unless maybe you're a calvinist; i don't entirely understand their theory but free will seems to be less important to them.

 

Can't. Gotta be at work at 3.

 

So lesbians are ok, but it just the gay men the church has a problem with?

 

It makes reference later to women who do the same

I just felt that was enough to get the point across

 

I am not sure I comprehend your post

 

I'll have to look that bit up then.

 

i'm saying the bible is ridiculously huge, and full of random crap that is routinely ignored by the christian community in general. but someone found 5 lines that say homosexuality is bad, and those 5 lines somehow became the most important part of the bible to the anti-gay community.

in other words, some homophobe apparently searched the hell out of the bible for days until he found something that he could use to condemn homosexuality.

 

Oh

I get it

I thought you were intending that their interpretation of the text was skewed

I thought the text was blatantly hateful

Edit:

I would like to add that this is by far not the only instance of gay bashing

It is the most hateful and straight forward though

 

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (NIV, 1st Corinthians 6:9-11)




There it is more generally referred to


I do admit I misread the passage that I originally thought called out lesbians in the same way as men were called out

​

 

Governments should either give the same benefits to both kind of marriages or take them all away.
Religion provides enough condemnation and damnation on its own for the gay folks.

 

The bible only condemns homosexuality because homosexuality was always practiced by the high priests of every religion going back to the origin of these religions many thousands of years ago. That is a fact. Why do you think for so long only males were allowed to becomes priests? Because every priesthood since the beginning of time has been homosexual with homosexual initiation rites.

Now, as I said before, I am not for or against gay marriage. Frankly, I am sick of hearing about it, as I am sure many people are. I don't think many people ask themselves why it's such a big issue all of a sudden. Certainly it's being heavily promoted by the media. But why? Do you really think the people in control of the media care about the rights of gay people, or are they just using gay people for an agenda that the general public really has no idea of?

 

If they want to get married, let them get married

To me it incomprehensible that two men could fall in love and through that love
choose to tie the bonds of matrimony


Hotwater

 

What use could the homosexual community be in the grand scheme?

I think I get what you are intending as far as agenda

I do not understand how homosexuals and their rights factor other than media diversion
