Christian preacher arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin

Nowhere have I said anything like that.

I said that Christianity has a certain set of beliefs; if the belief that Homosexulaity is a sin is included in that set of beliefs, then any supposedly Christian sect that does not believe that homosexuality is a sin is not Christian.

Well only to that one sect that believes homosexuality is a sin. Or maybe the anti homosexual sect thinks the pro homosexuality needs guidance. Or maybe they think we are all sinners and acceptance Jesus Christ can absolve one of their sins.

Well, I certainly admit it if I'm confused as to what constitutes a Christian, but I was always told that in order to be a Christian you had to believe that Christ was the son of God and that he died for our sins, extending from that that he would come back and save the righteous from armageddon (or something).

That's all well and good.

You dont understand.
Christiantiy holds homosexuality as a sin, or it doesnt.

If it does, and you believe that homosexuality is -not- a sin, then, by you not believing in the tents of Christianity, are necessarily not a Christian.

Your personal opinion the matter is meaningless -- you are or you rant, depending on your adherence to the tenets of Christiantiy.
 
Out of curiosity where in the bible does it say that homosexuality is a sin?
 
Well, where's homosexuality in that?
You tell me.
But you also need to consider if what you said is fully inclusive of all the tenets of Christianity.

I can't tell you, you're the Christian -- not me. Where are the tenets listed?

Been over this repeatedly, ad-nauseum.

I've listed them and explained them so many times I'm tired of listing them. Look up "Church and Homosexuality" thread and then look for my and Baron's posts around pages 5 to 12.

I don't feel like hunting and pecking through your previous debates. If it's straightforward enough you can link to the post/information in question.
 
So you're not a Christian?
MY beliefs have absolutely nothing to do with what I said; what I said is valid regardless of my beliefs.

Fair enough (seriously). So where are the tenets of Christianity listed so I can see where homosexuality is described as a sin?

It is only valid within certain sects of Christianity that believe homosexuality is a sin and those that disagree are not Christians.

I'm sure that there are those far better qualified to answer that than me.

Well, can you link to or point me to where you got the idea that the tenets of Christianity stated that homosexuality is a sin? Just throw me a bone here, y'know?

The central tenets of the Christian faith don't revolve around actions that are or are not a sin. They are affirmative beliefs, not lists of forbidden activities. Sin is between individual believers and God.

Then go to page 6, post #51 of this thread. There you shall find the answer you seek.

I did not make the statement that one of the tenets of Christianity is that homosexuality is a sin.

Ok.... and...?
 
Ok.... and...?

So, a set belief about homosexuality isn't a core aspect of Christianity. different sects of Christians interpret the bible differently on that and many other subjects. But they share a common belief in the role of Christ, his divinity, and salvation.

Why don't you answer anything straightforwardly?
