Slavery is not OK. THAT is the point. It was a reality in the Bible, and it was sometimes necessary, but it was never OK. I don't like slave owners chances at final judgment.

Wrong. It's homosexuals mainstreaming their lifestyle while trying to guilt society into acceptance. This is their agenda, and it's working.

The bible was ok with slavery therefore according to you god was ok with it. if the god thought it was bad he would have said so in the bible.
Sorry your immutable book of morality is subject to changes in morality in society. It did so with slavery and is doing so today with homosexuality.
No one is being quilted into anything. You are obviously against homosexuality fine do not engage in homosexual activities but do not let your personal interpretation of the bible be a guide to tell others how to live. In that you will be severely judged by God when the time comes. Make no mistake about that.

Actually there's really only way to interpret God's word, and that is His way. It's up to man to get past himself and find out God's true stance on homosexuality. Based on what's written in the Bible, I think anyone who isn't completely dishonest with himself can at least agree that God does not command homosexuals to actively be homosexuals, much less marry each other.

Gay marriage has been found in multiple cultures and religions . in history. Why is it a problem just now?

But where is the change on homosexuality? Where in the Bible does it EVER state that God commands homosexuals to be homosexual?

No, but then again, he isn't ordering heterosexuals to be heterosexuals.

"Sins" do not exist in nature, like stones or mushrooms. They are concepts. If your religious code declares homosexuality a sin - it's fine with me. Don't do it, even if you want to do it badly. I think it is silly, a superstition, but hey, I can respect self-restraint, even so ridiculously misapplied.

Now, above and beyond all tribal and confessional taboos, there is something bigger, something universal, some basic rules of morality - wouldn't you agree? "Do not onto others that you wish not to be done onto yourself". Sounds vaguely familiar?





Nobody wishes to be coerced, by definition. See where I am going with this?

Sounds a little bit like what Robert Green Ingersoll said a while back, "Tolerance is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself."

You don't have a point here.

It is not changing in scripture, and I'm FULLY aware of the changes homosexuals are making in our society. It's called the Gay Agenda. ;)

No, the "Gay Agenda" was made up by Conservatives to strike fear into Americans and make them think homosexuals are something to fear.

Slavery was never necessary, but the Bible approves of it.

I know because I ask. One of the most basic rules of being a Christian is to come to know God. The only way you can do that is to read His scriptures and pray for guidance. I'm sorry, but it really is that simple.

Don't you think it's interesting though that people study scripture to arrive at the opinions they already held? For example, you find passages you interpret to mean that homosexuality is a sin, while somebody who has no problem with homosexuality find the passages that focus on tolerance and non judgement. See my point?

Wrong.

There are lots of homosexuals in lots of Christian Churches.

You can deny their existence all that you want, but they are there.

Yes. The problem is, your idea of tolerance and non judgment is more like enablement. If God accepted everyone, like you seem to want, then what would be the point of life here on earth?

Slavery helped the Israelites snap out of their sin induced stupor. Slavery is never good, but it can be a necessary evil when it comes to saving souls.

LOL. There are mainstream churches flying gay pride flags here in Houston. Bering United Methodist, True Worship Baptist, Memorial Church of Christ, and a bunch of others.

Since you don't know a freeking thing about Christianity, let me lend you a clue: Christianity is for sinners, and we are all sinners.

What is the point of God then. The idea of God is that he created us. If he didn't accept someone, then there would be no point in believing in a God.

In Dallas we have one of the largest gay churches in the country. A life long friend of mine is a minister there

The gay agenda is the true clarifier behind the political motivations of homosexuals: "My rights! You hater! You're a bigot! HOMOPHOBE!!!". It starts with Guilt 101, and it's working.

Whether or not you realize it you've just made my point for me. Is tolerance not a virtue in the bible? You seem to be dismissing the tolerance part in favor of the condemnation part, which just happens to mirror your own opinions.

No, you seem to be mistaking tolerance with enabling wrong behaviors. Believe it or not, you never had a point to begin with.

It's not like it's imaginary guilt we are planting in people's minds.

Stop being so upset that we are calling out those who are wrong to judge us. If you are going to hate, you should feel guilty for it.
