Homosexuality is not a sin, don't believe the bigots

Tuesday, 09 June 2009 03:27

Homosexuality is not a sin according to the Bible. Any educated Christian would know that. Scholars who have studied the Bible in context of the times and in relation to other passages have shown those passages (Leviticus, Corinthians, Romans, etc) have nothing to do with homosexuality. These passages often cherry-picked while ignoring the rest of the Bible. The sins theses passages are referring to are idolatry, prostitution, and rape, not homosexuality. http://www.cavalierdaily.com/CVArticle.asp?ID=10620&pid;=805 http://www.jesus21.com/content/sex/bible_homosexuality_print.html http://www.christchapel.com/romans_inter.html http://www.stjohnsmcc.org/new/about/homosexuality.html http://www.gaychristian101.com/ Thats why Jesus never mentions it as well. There is nothing immoral, wrong, or sinful about being gay. Jesus, however, clearly states he HATES hypocrites. If you preach goodness, then promote hate and twist the words of the Bible, you are a hypocrite, and will be judged and sent to hell. Homosexuals will not go to hell, hypocrites will. This is very similar to the religious bigots of the past, where they took Bible passages to condone slavery, keep women down, and used Bible passages to claim blacks as curses who should be enslaved by the white man. People used God to claim that blacks marrying whites was unnatural, and not of God's will.

You know, it's when you start rethinking and going back to old translations of the bible when you start to get things pretty messed up. Although it never says directly "Homosexuality is a sin." people should know that pure literal and pure metaphorical interpretations of the bible or any sacred writing are not good ways to go.

It says that it is a sin right there in the Bible but it also says that all sins, except for sins against the Holy Ghost, will be forgiven. So I think it is but I also believe that as long as people realize it is a sin and are sorry for then they will be forgiven.

And people should also realize that even when the old translations were prevalent, homosexuals were still condemned.

And this is coming from a gay guy, so before you start trying to find where I live and preach to me think about that

randm0607 said the whole adam and steve thing but male and a male can mate but can no have a baby so the reason god made adam and eve is because they can make a baby then more babys and once they made enouph babys to keep the male female population equal so there he created gays

Then why did God create Adam and Eve instead of Adam and Steve? Because Eve was a "suitable" partner for Adam. Together, they were able to procreate, giving to each other what the other of them lacked.

Homosexuals do *not* have the God-given right to marry someone of the same gender.

You said, If you preach goodness, then promote hate and twist the words of the Bible, you are a hypocrite, and will be judged and sent to hell.
I do not believe the majority of Christians are purposely trying to twist the word of God. I believe they truly believe that homosexuality is a sin. And i do believe they will still go to heaven. This is not a salvation issue. It is just something the church has taught for many years and ignorant gullible Christians believe it with all their heart. God knows they mean well and are trying to please Him. Please don't say they will go to hell for that. They are just ignorant. Blame the ones who started this lie. It goes far back though, many centuries.

In furtherence of your argument, I believe the Bible also says to love our neighbors as ourself. Does this not mean that we give them equal rights as we have? Doesn't God smile whenever ANY two people come together in love? It is not for us on Earth to judge each other. God will take care of that on Judgment Day. And I'm pretty sure he'd to deny entrance into Heaven for those who broke his ten commandments before he denies entrance to people who lived their lives together in love, even if they are the same sex.
