I think people are entitled to their own opinion! If they want to get married then let them. I know what the Bible says and I personally would not marry a female but If a person falls in love and they want that for themselves well then so be it...idk..just thought i could change the subject and take the focus off poor catdance...

If you find someone who is good to you and you 2 fall in love, I just can't see how that's a bad thing! Be it a man & woman or 2 guys or 2 girls. Doesn't affect me at all who someone else sleeps with, as long as it isn't my man! :)

I just saw an article where this couple got married in another state that allowed same sex marriages, since their state doesn't. They now want to get a divorce, but cant unless one of them moves to the state they got married in since the state they live in doesnt recognise their union.
Now tell me, how messed up is that?

I agree w/ this.. especially since if I don't get married by 40 my back up is my best friend who is a girl :lol :p but in all seriousness, if anyone can find someone who makes them happy; gender, race, etc shouldn't matter as long as they treat them right. :) And I don't think any city, state, government should stick their nose in it.

I agree with all, If you are fortunate to find that special person, man, woman, man that dresses like a woman, woman that dresses like a man hey whatever. I do although get alittle weirded out by the whole kissing in public thing but I don't stare or judge. Love is love, and love , in some cases is def. blind!

Yay! A change in subject!
Personally, I think most (not all) people are better off settled down with someone to provide an anchor/center to their lives. It could be a spouse, a "partner", or a child. If someone wants to love and take care of someone, pay medical insurance for them, and possibly keep them off of welfare or Medicaid and charity (in case they get sick or something), then great! So absolutely, I believe in gay marriage!
As for people who point to the Bible, I say that I follow what Jesus said about homosexuals ---- nothing! He did, however, point out how we shouldn't judge one another and how love is the most important thing. As for the Old Testament, I don't follow that because it has stuff about how you should treat your slaves, and how you should stone to death people who wear fabrics of mixed fibers (cotton/poly, anyone?) or people of mixed tribes. (We've got European, Asian, Mid-Eastern and possibly some Native American mixed into my family.) I'm a CHRISTian, not an Old Testamentian.

I'm going to further instigate this topic by responding to the below quote... but before I do, I want it known that I have no problem w/ civil unions for gay individuals. I do NOT believe they should be allowed to stand before God and profess their love for Him and one another. However, a union that protects them and their children from family members who do not give a rats ass about the person they choose to spend their life w/... I'm all for that.

Romans 1:26-27 (New International Version)
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
(a different translation)
Romans 1:26-27 (New King James Version)
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
1 Corinthians 6:9 (New International Version)
9Do 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
(in another translation)
1 Corinthians 6:9 (New King James Version)
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,[a] nor sodomites,
1 Timothy 1
Greeting
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,
2 To Timothy, a true son in the faith:
Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
No Other Doctrine
3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith. 5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, 9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.
~~Just because someone (not just you, lots of ppl) doesn't LIKE what's in the Old Testament doesn't mean that it's ok to just ignore it. It's awe inspired for God, so you can't accept one and not another.~~

I wasn't going to post on this subject because I know that there will be hurt feelings. And that is not what I want. Everyone is entitled to thier opinion and my is against gay marriages. I do have gay friends and family members but I just don't agree with it. I do not argue over politics, religion or ones personal behavior. I have my opinions and beliefs and would not try to push them on anyone else. I'm not perfect and am the first to admit it. I do know that God loves everyone of us.

12-10-2007, 02:58 AM
Hmmm I guess I don't understand why one should care what other people do? And who they love? It's none of my business what makes someone else happy and far be it from me to tell them how to live their life and who to spend it with. Corinna please know I'm not picking on you, but I love when ppl say that they have gay friends and family but don't believe in gay marriage... I'm assuming all of those who do, love those friends and family members very much, but you seriously want to deny and or look down on them for something that might make them very happy and allow them to be their true self. Just b/c one gets married doesn't mean they have to get married in a church by a priest, pastor, etc. in front of "god" there's always the justice of the peace and a court house or other local. I guess I just don't see marriage all that sacred where it should JUST be between a man and a woman..hell there's a 50% divorce rate as is, obviously some, not all, of those who enter into marriage don't take it seriously. I feel that there should be equal rights for everyone, not those who fall into a cookie cutter mold made up by some old guy. I also love how everyone's so quick to bring up the Bible and how someone's going against it when their views don't agree... can you honestly say that you follow that book to a "T" and never ever do anything that supposedly would be against "god"? :potkettle Of course these are JMHOs :)

Ok, you will notice that I said I was instigating further argument because it was said that it isn't mentioned in the new testament. No, of course I don't follow the book to a T, I never said I do... I just said you can't accept one and not the other just because you don't like what it says. You can't pick and choose. Well, obviously you can pick and choose and a lot of ppl do (probably including me about something I'm not even aware of) but none of us should.
I guess I'm just offended by the pot kettle comment... cause you are making it sound like I said or inferred things I didn't... or am I taking it to mean more than it does?

We as human beings are all equal whether we marry, have sex with the same sex, both sexes or the opposite sex...

In one way, I don't care what goes on behind someone's bedroom door. But, on the other hand I get tired of things such as this being shoved down my throat and being told I am a bad person because I don't believe in something that is not natural. I don't even base my opinion on scripture, even though that does tell us it is wrong...I just don't need scripture to tell me, to me it is obvious.

The laws should be fair for EVERYONE. And to me, that means anyone can marry and have ins. legal rights etc. I don't think that is forcing anyone to accept. I'm not trying to change how you believe, you still have to the right to believe that it is wrong. I think alot of laws are wrong.

HIV/AIDS and Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
Various young men in social setting.The term men who have sex with men (MSM) refers to all men who have sex with other men, regardless of how they identify themselves (gay, bisexual, or heterosexual). In the United States, HIV and AIDS have had a tremendous impact on MSM. Consider these facts:
* AIDS has been diagnosed for more than half a million MSM. Over 300,000 MSM with AIDS have died since the beginning of the epidemic.
*
* MSM made up more than two thirds (68%) of all men living with HIV in 2005, even though only about 5% to 7% of men in the United States reported having sex with other men. In a 2005 study of 5 large US cities, 46% of African American MSM were HIV-postitive.
Since HIV/AIDS in MSM was first diagnosed 1981, gay and bisexual men have been leaders in dealing with the challenges of the epidemic. Gay organizations and activists, through their work, have contributed greatly to many of the guidelines for prevention, treatment, and the care of people living with HIV/AIDS.
For complex reasons, HIV/AIDS continues to take a high toll on the MSM population. For example, the number of new HIV/AIDS cases among MSM in 2005 was 11% more than the number of cases in 2001. It is unclear whether this increase is due to more testing, which results in more diagnoses, or to an increase in the number of HIV infections. Whatever the reasons, in 2005, MSM still accounted for about 53% of all new HIV/AIDS cases and 71% of cases in male adults and adolescents.

I have to agree with NJean on the tolerance thing. What all are we willing to tolerate? How much is too much before our society as a whole begins to crumble. Kind of like with a telling a little white lie and then having to tell another to cover for that one and then tell another....so on and so on.
Please, don't get me wrong. I am not a homophobe and hate gay people, far from it, and I am NOT bashing homosexuals, just stating an opinion. You can only use the "if it makes you happy" thing so much before there have to be limits.

What I get from this is just this, we need to educate gay men on having SAFE sex. Not stop them from having sex. It doesnt affect *you* (general you) in any way if two guys have sex.
I cant tell from walking down the street who's house has gay people living in it.
We are talking about two peoples LIVES here. Their entire LIFE! How is it fair for anyone to tell someone "I shouldnt have to accept you because you choose to love a man".

I really don't care what the Bible says. I could say "Then Jesus looked at them and said that homosexuals were abomoniations who were going to hell and nver, ever, ever should they be allowed to marry." and it still wouldn't matter to me. The law should not be based on any religion. I sure wouldn't want someone deciding that it should be perfectly legal for my husband to beat me or rape me or take another wife without my consent because someone else's religion says it's ok. Just as I highly doubt anyone else here would find that acceptable, I don't find it acceptable that someone should say their religious book says homosexuals shouldn't marry so they try to make laws based on that. If you don't like the idea of homosexuals getting married then marry someone from the opposite sex. The fact that it's wrong in someone else's religious book or they find it yucky or they are supposedly worried about diseases for them shouldn't be a basis for a law.

okay, so let's just allow the lesbians to marry lol. we all know it's more acceptable for 2 girls getting in on than 2 guys. j/k!
i suppose the reason for this would be that 2 women are least likely to bring blood during sex than 2 men and maybe ejaculate has more of the virus in it than does other body fluids. but this is just a guess, i haven't researched it.

For anyone who insists that we must accept the entire Bible, and that we shouldn't pick and choose (thus, we should consider homosexuality as an abomination), do you follow ALL the rules/laws in the Old Testament? What about the things in there about how anyone disrespectful to their parents should be put to death, about how to treat your slaves, how anyone who is of "mixed tribes" (mixed race) is an abomination, anyone wearing clothing of mixed fibers should be stoned to death, and on and on? Those things go against what Jesus preached in the New Testament. He preached love and told us not to judge. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." I believe God wants us to love and be kind to one another, above all else (the Golden Rule).
As for having a homesexual couple or a religious Christian family next door, I don't care just as long as they don't push me to convert to their way of thinking! I find that annoying and insulting; I have my beliefs and I think they're just as valid as you think yours are! (And that's what I told my very, very pushy born-again neighbor recently, when he brought up homosexuality.)

I think aids may be prevalent in heterosexual woman either because they practice unsafe sex or they think they're in a monogamous relationship so they don't feel like they need to use protection. But the person they're in the relationship with isn't being monogamous and is fooling around with other people.

Heres a thought to ponder upon, who would you rather have living next to you? Two gay people or a religious family?
Gay people... Religious people are crazy & always want to be up in your business. I had one of the craziest bible thumpers walking living next to me a few years ago. This crazy woman would stand out in her front yard screaming bible scriptures. Put her toilet in the front yard and put flowers in it, the crazy b*tch would crap in buckets and throw it in my yard and the neighbor on the opposite side of her, torcher baby chicks..She was something else...I don't to much care for religious people, they are way the hell out there..
AIDS can effect us all...Allthough it was meant as a gay disease when the Government first introduced it to the homosexual population. What the Governement didn't realize at the time it would effect not only the homosexuals but the hetrosexuals as well. The AIDS debate why homosexuals shouldn't be homosexuals is a thing of the past. Did that make sense?:slap

The Government had both hands in HIV/AIDS. The Government has their hands in a lot of things..HIV/AIDS was created 25 plus yrs ago, homosexuals have been around since the dusk of dawn. Now, AIDS is/was considered a gay disease. If it was not man made, aids would have existed long before it's time. Many of the disease are man made..therefor they were created to wipe out a certain group or to lower the population... You don't have to believe it..

I've actually heard this this past year while at school. From what I was told, apparently the "monkey" that it came from was actually a gay man they infected to wipe out that population. Of course this is hearsay on my part, so I don't really know, but could you imagine? :slap

It may have existed years ago. Cancer was called consumption, I think, years ago. They didn't know how to treat it then but they do now. And other diseases were called by different names too.

even in the new testement it says that its wrong to be gay, that if you are you wont go to heaven but will be thrown into the lake of fire. i agree that god loves us all no matter what, but he gives you the freedom of choice we all sin and if you ask him to forgive you he will, but not if you keep doing the same thing over and over. i have gay friends and my 2 nephews are gay and i love them dearly, but i dont agree with there lifestyle but they know i love them no matter what. but it bothers me to think they wont go to heaven. we were all born equal but gay people seem to want more then what they were born with. we dont march and ask for special priveleges, if they are in a relationship and want to leave there partner something when they die put it in writing! but dont try to change the laws. now go ahead and bash away! lol!

But the thing is they dont want to have to die to make sure their partner gets something. How about medical coverage? Or life insurance? Or how about knowing that their SO can make THEIR decision in the hospital? Something we straight people take for granted. If your SO is in a car accident, can you go see them in the hospital? Maybe the gay person who's lying in the hospital bed dying has a christian nurse and wont let the boyfriend in, after all, she doesnt agree with their lifestyle and the rules do state "family members only" and the law says those two cant get married.
Gee, that would suck, being kept away from the one you really love all because someone else thinks "well you shouldnt be gay anyways".
Just wanted to add that yes, this little story might be a long shot and not something that has happened but the way the laws are right now, it can indeed very well happen, all legally, and that to me is more disturbing than two people of the same sex having sex.

I honestly don't understand that part. How are they asking for MORE or for SPECIAL privledges? They are only asking for the same thing as you (as a heterosexual) have. Are they not as good as anyone else? Shouldn't they have the same rights as anyone else? Laws should be for everyone and everyone should have the same rights.

My friend Stephanie could not add her GF and GF's child to her ins at work because they were not married.
BF and I got married and now my DD and I are covered.
Stephanie and her GF CAN'T get married, so she can't add them to her ins.

When did you chose to be heterosexual? I don't recall thinking "Hmmm... should I date a guy or a girl?" I just liked guys. I'd see a good looking guy and have a totally different reaction than if I see a good looking woman. I can appreciate Angelina Jolie's beauty. She's gorgeous. But I have absolutely no desire to kiss her. Now George Clooney is a whole other story and I'd be all over him.
My sister is gay. Sh's always been gay. She used to date guys back in high school and even into college but she did it because it was expected of her. She tells me now that kissing her boyfriends was close to how I would feel kissing Angelina Jolie. I could do it but it's not appealling and there would be no passion. Now she's with a wonderful woman and has been for years. You can see the happiness on her face and even after years with her she's still far more passionate with her girlfriend than she ever was with a boyfriend.
On the plus side for gays, if they have the ability to itemize they pay less in taxes than a married couple. My sister uses the money I save her and her grilfriend in taxes to pay for the lawyer she needs to draw up all the legal paperwork that I get simply because I said "I do" to a man.

But the Bible shouldn't have anything to do with the law. But where religion DOES have something to do with the law, those are the places where women get stoned for doing the same things I do everyday.
I keep bring up minorities and women being able to vote, because that is a valid example of how laws can be changed to be fair to everyone.
If it the were changed today, saying that you were no longer being given the benifit of marraige, would you just accept it and say nothing? I really hope not.
The whole "just accept it because it's the law, don't question the laws', reminds me of nazi Germany.

The bible is full of contradictions. If the bible said jump off cliff, would you do it cause the bible said so?
If "God" loves all his children equally, why in the hell would "God" shun his children who are homosexuals? If God create man and was against homosexuality why did he create homosexuals? It does say "God created all living things." It doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense. The bible to me is a poorly written fairytale, it's not based on proven facts.

Let's think about this from another angle. Let's pretend there is no God for a moment. We know ancient people would look at sickness as a sin. If someone got sick then they brought it upon themselves by doing something evil.
I don't believe there is anything new under the sun. What is happening now has happened in the past. Now assume the ancient peoples saw homosexuals getting a dreaded disease and they were dying off. Those by-sexual people who had sexual relations with them were dying off. In ancient times this would be because they were sinners and doing something evil. They had no medicines to stop the disease then so people died rather fast as compared to today. The elders would tell the people in the community it is evil and a sin to engage in that kind of activity. You will go to hell to scare them and they would die.
The bible is a book on how to live a good AND a healthy life. People could see heterosexual relationships as being the healthiest. They only had to observe to know heterosexual, monogamous relationships were the healthiest. It brought no disease, it multiplied the community with new people being born. Everything about heterosexual, monogamous was good and not evil for the community to thrive.
The ancient people would know what was the best way to live and also believed those who got sick were evil. Now of course we know better and it is a disease. BUT that still does not make it any easier to stop the disease it brings and now the infection has a name---AIDS. We know it isn't evil per say but it is still not healthy.
AIDS started in the gay community then spread to heterosexuals. Who says homosexuality is harmless. The way gay men have sex is the way this infection is spread the easiest. Through the rectum. Once one has the disease it is spread though blood products so heterosexuals can get the disease. Remember the woman who got it from her dentist? The child who got it by a blood transfusion? Now every health care worker wears latex gloves. In ancient times they would say homosexuals were evil and brought death. They would be banned and sent away. The infection would die out since the ones who had it would die out.
Now we have to deal with this dread disease in our times. What do we do? Even a doctor here who is a pioneer in studying AIDS (doctors come to here to learn about how to treat it from her) is saying right now the only way we can eradicate this disease is by being monogamous. The heterosexual, monogamous relationships are the ones who will not get AIDS. If you are in other relationships you are at risk.
Let's take the right/wrong, good/sinful out of it. AIDS is an epidemic killing millions of people who are now infected. I don't think you will get society to look upon gays as a healthy lifestyle. The government cannot stop people from having sex with whoever they will but they have shut down bath houses and places where AIDS may be spread. That is all they can do. People will engage in the lifestyle they want but it does have consequences to all of society. And being married will not stop people from having affairs.

I totaly agree with tarasdream. Those that have not read the bible might believe that homosexuality is ok. But those of us that have read and do live by the bible know it is wrong. There was a reason a MAN and a WOMAN were made, we were put here to procreate and to teach. Two men or two women cannot procreate. It just doesnt work. I do not condone homosexuality. I do not judge those that are gay but In my opinion it is wrong. Do as you may but dont bring it in my house.
im glad someone else is not afraid to stand up for what the bible says it breaks my heart to see so many people not caring what the bible says and not following god. god loves everyone even murderes but they deserve to go on death row for what they do. god gives you choices just like in the bible he gave gays the chance to stop they chose not too. thus we had sodom and gomorrah a whole town destroyed.i like and respect everyone here and im glad we are so far acting like adults .but i cant change the way i feel.

You are right Princess, there are many different actions that can cause us to go to hell. But, just because someone has an opinion, whether favorable or not, about something does not mean they are sitting in judgement. Why does that only come up when we are talking about homosexuality? Why is it okay to not like one thing and then something else is considered judgemental? I don't like liars and thieves either, but no one would consider that judgemental. I think adultry is wrong, does that make me judgemental?

maybe it isnt being judgemental on the gay thing but in my opinion it is and I would love to know if the ones that are so against gay marriage and believe they are going to hell for being gay BUT say they have gay friends actually tell them they are going to hell or do they just come here and say it behind their backs.

The key word is monogamous, not heterosexual. 2 gay men who don't use intravenous drugs and who have never been with anyone else will not get AIDS if they continue to be faithful to each other.
Also, while AIDS may have started as a gay disease, what about syphillis, gonorrhea, clymedia, herpes, etc? All of those have been around for much longer, some for centuries, and all started in the heterosexual community.

Now Janelle I happen to agree with a lot you post. But, with this sentence, isn't it a fair assumption to say that monogomas/heterosexual couples engaging in anal sex also have a high likeliehood of contracting AIDS?
Or am I mistaken?
This is a very tender subject, indeed where we all have our own beliefs and, regardless of our trying, we can't make anyone agree with us.

Monogamous couples where neither one has AIDS cannot contract that or any other disease through anal or any other form of sex with each other. It doesn't matter if they are gay or straight. What matters is if they are faithful to each other.

I'm not even trying to change anyone minds who thinks that being gay is immoral or against the Bible.
I'm just saying that as far as the law is concerned, I DO believe it discriminates against gays. They are people just like any straight person, and should have the same rights as anyone else who wants to get married. Who you have sex with shouldn't have ANY impact on your rights. I think people who cheat on their SO's are immoral, in certian circumstances, but I still think they should have the same legal rights as everyone else.

2 Timothy 3:16 states that “All scripture is inspired by God….” In 2 Peter 1:20-21, Peter reminds the reader to “know this first of all, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, … but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.” The Bible itself tells us that it is God who is the author of His book.

The Catholic church is not against gay people it is against gay sex. So if a priest is gay and celibate---which all priests are to be celibate---then he will be allowed to stay a priest. If that priest was having an affair with anyone else---another priest or any person gay or straight as with straight priests then that would be grounds for dismissal. Of course, it would have to be brought to the superior's attention. Many sins are done in private but then the person will have to answer to God eventually. Two gay priests having sex and keeping it quiet will have to answer to God.
And as far a sexual diseases, yes the church has condemned any sex outside of marriage and with more than one person. Society has known this is the healthiest way to live so one stays clear of sexual diseases. I'm trying to stay away from religion on this topic for the most part to show heterosexual, monogamous relationships are the best for society as a whole.
When my hubby worked for some gynecologists in a small town they said all the young people they saw in their practice in that town shared the same venereal diseases. They were passing the diseases around with multiple partners. How sad. So straights are also not being smart on sexual practices as well. We all need to be careful. The bible is a book telling us how to live a healthy life if you look at it that way.
I met a formerly gay man who says he has come out of it. He married and has a family. As a matter if fact I went to his seminar on how to have a good marriage. I bought his book. When I asked him about homosexuals he said. Quote----"putting a penis into someone's anus is not love!!!!" Now from my point of view he said it more forcefully than necessary. Is he still having those desires? That is not for me to say but if he is then he is trying to stay away from it and living a heterosexual life with his wife and children. You know we all have sins we struggle with all our lives. Getting away from religion I would say we all have hardships we have to deal with all our lives but we do it because we know it is for the best.
No one knows who is gay and who is straight or bi unless that person tells us. My hubby has two aunts who have never married. They both have lived with a person of the same sex their whole lives. One aunt and her "roommate" even raised two children together. Are they gay? I don't know nor do I care. If they are they never made a big deal out of it.
One aunt died and I believe her "roommate" was very well taken care in her estate. They had no problems with any financial dealings. As far as insurance I guess you can't put anyone on your benefits unless there are related by blood or marriage. I think that is even changing with some companies. I just do not see the need for homosexuals to marry for any benefits and it seems strange that straights are staying single and living together to avoid legal hassles but gays are wanting to get married to avoid legal hassles.

i'm a lesbian :rolling
ok with all the back and forth going on here i just have to ask, situation: your child calls, lets say a daughter, and says "mom i have something to tell you", you say 'ok i'm listening', she then says "i have a girlfriend and she makes me happy" you gonna turn your back on her?
the reason i ask is this i just had the same conversation with my daughter, no gay is not for me but i'm not gonna lose my daughter if thats her choice i'm looking at it like i gained another daughter
My son is gay. And guess what he was a gift from GOD. Do you really think people that are gay have a choice in what they are? I was at school one day we was walking down the hall and kids were yelling faggot and I started after them and my son grabed my arm and said mom let it go. I was at that time just beaming because he took the high road and was a much better person then them. Now I am not saying it is easy or was easy for us.
But all I knew is we as his parents want him to have the kind of love that his dad and me have. I want him to live happy. My son would give the shrit off his back to help anyone. He tells who he wants how he wants and when he wants.

the bible was not written by man it was written by god all man did was translate it so we could understand it, this is common knowledge if you would just research it.
The Bible was NOT written by God. The Bible was written by men that decided to put into writing the stories that had been passed down through the generations.

Okay, what is my opinion on gay marriage. Since I cannot "condone" homosexuality, I cannot not support gay marriage. Do I hate gay people? No. Do I believe they have the right to be happy? Yes. Now, I know this all sound wishy washy, but that is how I feel.
If one of my children came to me and told me that they were gay, no I would NOT turn my back on them or love them any less. Bringing the SO home may be a problem but I would be willing to compromise. If that person is good to my child then I would want them as part of my family and feel welcome in my home, and they would be. My only problem would be them sharing a bed. Call that what you may, but I would hope the person would be willing to respect my hang ups.

(Romans 1:26-28 NKJV)26} For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. {27} Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. {28} And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Note: Homosexual lusts, both female and male are called "vile passions" "against nature" and "not fitting".

Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, {10} nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. {11} And such were some of you.

If the Bible was really written by God you'd think there wouldn't be so many different versions out there. It reminds me of a joke I heard before. A new priest asked a bishop why priests weren't allowed to get married. The bishop told him it was written in the original language and those could be found in the basement. The priest went downstairs to read it for himself. After a long time the bishop went downstairs and found the young priest sitting in front of the original papers, crying. He asked what's wrong and the priest replied "It says 'celebrate'!"

Well if God really founded each & every church out there, why are there so many different versions of that, then?
Each & every leader of each & every church claims it's God -inspired.
Is it really?
The Catholic church is not against gay people it is against gay sex.
You said a mouthful there and you are correct. There is nothing wrong with 'being' gay it is the act of 'gay sex' that is shameful to God.
There is, in fact, that I've heard of an entire group of gay (men I think but perhaps women as well) who are gay who live by God's word, they live together but do not enjoy each other sexually.

Parts, maybe inspired, but not ALL. The Gospels are stories handed down by the Apostles. Genesis is the story told to Moses by God but not written down until centuries later. There is even belief that even the Apostles did not actually write their "books".
The translations into english we can only pray were inspired by godly men. But, I guess we will have to take their word on that.

For those who think the bible has been messed up from all the translations. This is wrong. When they found the lost scrolls they matched the current version of the bible so I believe God has preserved the bible as it was written. Course, this is faith but it doesn't make sense that God would reveal his word to man and then let it get mucked all up.
The only mucking going on is private interpretations of the bible done by various people. We can understand the bible for the most part but need scholars to teach us other parts. When we understand it from the history it comes from then it makes sense and the meaning is clear.
And to get away from the bible once more. If you think how long people have been on the earth and the gays are still a minority and society still thinks the gay lifestyle is not a good idea then I think society has figured out long ago what was best.

I go because God said to go. No other reason. It's in the Ten commandants and of course to worship Him and hear His words.
I know I could stay home but a community of believers makes one stronger like belonging to a club and how could I receive communion if I didn't go to church?
If we belong to a gym we go and work out but so many don't go to church to strengthen their spiritual muscles with others. We can do it on our own but do we?

If homosexuality is a sin then it is punishable by death, as are ALL sins. There is no one sin that is worse than any other and they ALL have the same punishment, death. On the basis of punishment, they are both right there together.

WTF? How much sense does that make? The comment and verse is so asinine I can't even come up with a logical reply.
Seriously, "putting someone to death" is clearly murder. Doesn't the bible say, Thou shal not kill? or does it now say, "Thou shall kill all those who do not agree with "Gods word." "God does not judge? It clearly shows "God" does judge.. Of course "God wrote the bible."

In YOUR God's eyes perhaps. The God I know actually loves His children. He's not some hateful, egotistical, borderline abusive Father.

i think that if GOD truely loved all his children the way it is claimed he does then it would not matter if we sat in church once a year or 365 times a year...
so i beleive that i can beleive in god and not have to go to church.... i made all of my sacraments and went to catholic schoool for 5 years.......
i also beleive that no matter if your gay ,bisexual,or straight that god will still love you
and if your bisexual are you a double sinner????

bahet---Side 1 : smartass comments. Side 2: gays are just as bad as serial killers. Hmmm... Let me think which one is more offensive... Boy, this is a toughie... I think I'm going to go with side 2.
Oopsie, was that a smartass comment? My bad
Bliss ---Good cause my sides hurt from all the laughing
freeby4me--Well yippity do da. If that was the case, you wouldnt even post that.
These are some of the SMARTASS comments that I say were unnecessary.
Oh and I can say ass.....God said to not use His name in vein.
I never said you were going to hell...I was quoting.
some of you just chose to argue...I have just chosen to state my beliefs

I would rather argue a point of view than quote a few things from a story book and call it good. My way takes thought.

For those who dont believe in a book written by the God Almighty, the logical thing would be for it to be a STORY BOOK. A book, consisting of stories.

Anything close to proof would be thrown out for sure.
Gay sex has been around since the dawn of time and right now just as it was wayyyy back when, the ones who scream and yell and stomp their big manly feet about how wrong it is are the one's getting their "groove thing on" when no one is looking.
Its never going to stop either.

No its not, but when you want to go around telling everyone what the Bible says you can and cannot do, its best for YOU YOURSELF to actually, gee I dunno, DO WHAT IT SAYS!

No one here has kept you from voicing your opinion. You have been doing it in this entire thread. (And others) You get mad because people don't agree and start saying that you can't post your opinion. You did post it the same as the rest of us did. Most of your posts sound hateful anyway, no matter the thread they are in.

Get it straight.
1. If you dont do what God says, you'll burn in hell.
2. You've been on this site all night telling everyone how ACCORDING to the Bible.....blah blah blah burn in hell.....something something something, scripture here and there and more somethings about what will happen if you dont follow Gods' law.
So yea.....I think I did actually get it straight seeings how I dont follow the Bible or anything God says.
