There's plenty of evidence about pleasure responses and why they exist, and there is plenty of evidence for evolutionarily valid "purpose".

Care to share "evidence" for pleasure and evolution roles for human sexual behaviors?

Have't figured out how to link with the iPad...try googling psychotherapy and pleasure response....and maybe Robert depaolo.

Huhhhh, RogueNuke...mind bouncing back to my post #1372...and maybe give me your opinion.

Can you go back to #1351 and give me your's?
 
And you believe this (your) interpretation is the only valid interpretation possible?

The interpretation uses the ACTUAL translations of Ancient Hebrew. Several of the words, like "to'ebah" were translated incorrectly. So, yes, this is the valid interpretation. Now, you can certainly interpret it differently, but you will be using incorrect translations and not adhering to context. If you want to do that... be my guest.

You can use your translations and still interpret it differently.
 
Different and accurate are not the same.

Nor are they always different. Personally, I think you're splitting hairs when you say that Leviticus only condemns homosexual sex with prostitutes and not others simply becuase you feel it only "directly" addresses prostitutes. This is where, regardless of how you interpret the translations, the context is still up to interpretation.

This thread has been running so long that everybody whose participating will probably become gay. Well, except for those who are gay...and they'll probably want to turn asexual after reading all of the wild stuff posted...over and over.

This doesn't apply to you Mac. You're special.

I'm impervious to your gay vibes....
 
Blackdog. I have a question.

If I recall correctly, on this thread you stated homosexuality was wrong.

Yet in the Loft, you say there are absolutely no verses in the Bible that state it is wrong. I cannot respond in the loft, so I wonder what you mean. Are you playing devil's advocate there? Here?

I'm merely curious. That and the incorrect statement that no verses in the Bible speak against it.
 
There is no conclusive proof that homosexuality is natural but there sure is a hell of a lot of evidence saying that it is. Compare that with the amount of evidence against homosexuality being natural.

There is no evidence saying that it is, there is evidence saying that it may be.

I would say there is evidence saying that homosexuality is natural.

natural =/= acceptable -------> false arguement

note: I am not saying that homosexuality isn't acceptable. just saying that arguing it is natural to try to prove it is acceptable is a false arguement. cannibalism is natural but you don't see very many people arguing in favor of eating people

Never said natural equals acceptable.
 
If you believe in God, yes it is a sin. It separates you from God and He said you will never see Heaven. But to be fair it is not more of a sin than others. Thieves, murderers etc can never be in Heaven either. The choice is yours to make if you want to be with God. God did not make a person homosexual. He did not create you to condemn you.

No you got it wrong, lol.

Being "gay" is not a sin, in any way. Acting on that or lusting after someone of the same sex is a sin. According to the Bible, sodomy in the OT, and all sexual immorality in the NT is a sin or wrong.

God made everything in the Universe, including all possibilities. Remember, he is all knowing and all seeing. What does that mean to you? This is another reason that I believe the bible is not inspried or written or whatever by God. It was written by greedy, power hungry men.

Greedy power hungry men? The disciples who wrote the Gospels all wound up dead and/or broke. Jesus preaches against worldly wealth and most wordily things. He preached charity and loving your neighbor?

Did you read the same Bible???

Forget it. I don't want to derail anymore than I already have.

Jesus did not write the Bible. Nor did any of his disciples.
