Question

that's hilarious!

*couples*

Answer 1

Nice! I like it

Answer 2

That's an impossible question. But the Bible never said 'ye shall not love', it says 'ye shall not lay with a man, the same way you lay with a woman'.

The love isn't the problem, its the act, the sexual act that the Bible specifies that makes it so confusing.

Now, the Bible doesn't elaborate on Homosexuality as much as it does about hate or serving another God; so we really have to interpret and take it as is.

Of course, its sinful to judge, as judgement is Gods', so you should love 'sinners' and accept them as who they are, same as all of us, made under the image of God.

Answer 3

All love is a gift from God. Love,(not talking sexually here) is what Christ commanded us to do. I don't think one man's love for another should be acted out sexually. Any sex outside of the boundaries of a man/woman relationship is sin.

Answer 4

According to modern Christians, no. According to Christian doctrine, all things are a gift from God.

Answer 5

It sure is, but you won't see too many people answer your question. It hurts their brains. If they say no, then they appear judgemental and go to Hell. If they say yes, then it conflicts with their belief that gayness is evil and then they go to Hell. They'll straddle the fence on this one.

Answer 6

It is charity that comes from God; not just mere love. Charity is present when men direct each other to God's order of things.

But homosexuality is the most grave disorder or distortion of nature. St. Augustine says, "They corrupt and pervert their own nature, which You made and for which You shaped the rules, either by making wrong use of the things which You allow, or by becoming INFLAMED WITH PASSION ‘to make unnatural use of things which You do not allow’ (Rom. 1.26).” St. John Chrysostom, the "Golden Mouthed" Doctor of the Church, adds that "the pleasures of sodomy are an unpardonable offense to nature and are doubly destructive, since they threaten the species by deviating the sexual organs away from their primary procreative end and they sow disharmony between men and women, who no longer are inclined by physical desire to live together in peace." And the great Angelic Doctor of the Church, St. Thomas Aquinas, writing about sins against nature, explains: “However, they are called PASSION OF IGNOMINY because they are not worthy of being named, according to that passage in Ephesians (5:12): ‘For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.’ For if the sins of the flesh are commonly censurable because they lead man to that which is bestial in him, much more so is the sin against nature, by which man debases himself lower than even his animal nature.”

And since there is no disorder that comes from God, He deals death - not His "merciful love" - to those who would choose to live outside His order. "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind, because it is an abomination... Every soul that shall commit this abomination, shall perish from the midst of his people" (Lev 18.22, 30). "If any one lie with man as a woman, both have committed an abomination, let them be put to death..." (Lev 20.13). " ... The men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have BURNED IN THEIR LUST [NOT LOVE always governed by reason and God's truths] one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error [as all abominations before the eyes of God are the result of a mind in error: and being deceived with error, thou adore strange gods, and serve them (Deut 30.17) For they went astray for a long time in the ways of error, holding those things for gods which are the most worthless among beasts, living after the manner of children without understanding (Wis 12.24)] ... Who, having known the justice of God , did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them (Rom 1.26-27, 32). It is for these Divine Judgements that the Roman Catholic Church demands (still, for Divine sentences are irrevocable unlike the belief of that fraud Ecumenical "Catholic" Church) the excommunication of (Third Lateran Council, 1179) and death at stake (Council of Naplouse, 1120) - to be executed by the civil authorities - for those who commit "nefarious crimes against nature" (Pope St. Pius V, who, throughout his pontificate, rigorously applied "torment at stake").

Answer 7

Love is not a "gift" from God/Goddess...it is what they & we are...it is our very essence of being...and thus a part of all. See?

Answer 8

No; but you'd better quit doing it because it is ruining your ability to spell correctly. I suspect you've contracted AIDS or brain damage.

Answer 9

Sorry Sinyckel but Christian doctrine does not condone homosexuality.

Answer 10

Love and desire are two different things. If some one loved someone they would not cause them to do things to put their soul in hell.

Answer 11

I'm pretty damn gouple at times. Now try to figure that one out.
