Honestly, I am so stumped of why no one ever though this, I am Christian and all, but how the f*** can th echurch and all even say stuff like that.
Anyone ever even stop to think for one second...
Ok, the Bible was written how many years ago? How can you still believe in judgement made by people who casted out the sick, believed that demons where inside people who had a cold, and what not. Ofcourse the people who wrote the Bible would say being gay was bad because they didnt know better, basically if it wasnt what the majority does, then its wrong and bad.
That is the MOST ignorant thing people can come up with these days, but how come when the Bible does it its all fine and dandy?
If I said any man who doesnt like Football is weird and not a man, you would have to disagree with me? If I said if you dont like the stuff we like, then your bad and weird, is that ok to say in this day and age? No, its called opinions.
I am Christian and straight.

Also, let me ask you this then.
If God created man, and he wants man to be with a women, then why is there even the possibility that man is attracted to another man, but as we know today not by choice and by genes, so thus saying why would God not make these genes go only torwards women? Being gay and having those genes is not considered being sick or ill or even malfunctioned in any way, so it cant be compared to being sick with some disease.
Why does God test us? Why does he give us free will, but then allows us to do bad being able to punish us, it almost sounds as if God is doing this for amusement, he knows all, he knows there will be flaws among his humans, why does he persist to even allow bad things to happen, us to do wrong so he can send us to hell? Does this mean God is not perfect?

The Bible isn't against it. God is. Therefore, the Bible states God's Word.

The Bible is the only book that has been able to stand the test of time without change and yet still be just as relevent and right on to this day. Try to teach a science class today by using your old elementry science book and you will find that things that were scienctific fact 10-20 years ago have changed. When I went to school they taught us that the world was 4 billion years old, now they say 8 billion (figures not exact). I'm only 28 by the way. Man constantly tries to misinterpet Gods Word to fit his/her point of view. This works with all other books but the Bible. Why? Might I suggest that only the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It cuts down between that which is spiritual and soulish in our lives and leaves us peeled open. No other book has the ability to do what the Bible can and continues to do.
Best of luck!

What I find amazing, and somewhat amusing, is how so many will use the Bible to say "Look, God said it's bad"... but point out all the other stuff God said was bad as well.... mixing fibers for clothing (Polyester is a no-no according to the Bible), eating shellfish or pork is a no-no, touching dead animals (PETA would love this, there goes the leather industry right down the tubes)... women on their "monthly's" were supposed to remove themselves from society until 7 days AFTER she was done! That's 2 weeks out of each month that women were supposed to be removed from their families and NOT touch anyone! Of course, when you bring things like this up, you get the "But Christ removed all those laws for US". (God is not a respector of people - he doesn't respect one over another) So it is pick and choose what you want to follow out of the Bible but tell everyone else they have to follow it all.
Not saying all do this, just pointing out that those who do, usually say these things. Personally, I don't care what 2 consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home. I sure don't want someone coming into my house and telling me what kind of sex I can or can not have with my own husband. And I find it a little freaky that so many are sitting around thinking about what kind of sex homosexuals are having. What is with that anyway???

If you take a serious look at the bible, the majority of the rules and regulations therein were created for basic survival. That would also include the rules against homosexuality. To be homosexual means that you are unable or unwilling to produce children. Consequently it's described as an "abomination" in Leviticus. Not producing the next generation of human beings flies directly in the face of "go forth and multiply." But is this attitude, this law, right or fair? Does it continue to serve us in the 21st. century?
Given that the world's population is 6 billion and growing, making it increasingly difficult to feed and support the ever growing human species of animal, I do not believe this law serves us any longer. Nor does it serve god, no matter how you conceive of him, in that it has the dire potential of destroying the very home created for us.
It is also anything but "fair" or just when a significant group of people continue to be prejudiced against because of their sexual orientation. Prejudice is another form of judgment. Being so, it is also anything but Christian.
I hope, as with other damaging laws outlined in the bible, like those pertaining to slavery et al, this particular law will go the way of the Dodo. It's prejudicial towards a group of citizens, and it no longer serves us as a species or a society. It also does not serve god.

It's better to accept the whole Word than to pick and choose what seems ok for you. You can't say the Bible never mentions homosexuality in a negative light because it does several times. So, you dont agree or don't understand then thats fine but its not good to say "well this was written so long ago and people didn't understand then blah blah blah" to anything because then everything in the Bible has to come under that same question. If it is OK to disbelieve something Biblical just because it doesnt seem right or fair in our eyes then we cannot depend on one single word in it because it is all subject to our own eyes. I dont know you, so I dont know this is the case for YOU but say you are convinced that something is no longer a sin, (or never was) regardless if the Bible says so or not, then who are you to say someone else is wrong if they say "well I dont think adultery is wrong, the Bible was written by man in another time blah blah blah" If it's ok to do it for one thing, then it is ok to do it for anything else. Therefore making the Bible obsolete.
If you dont agree or dont understand something in the Bible... leave it like that "I dont understand" but take it at its Word and figure someday you WILL understand. Otherwise, dont consider yourself a Christian because a Christian is a Christ follower and Christ followed the scriptures and took them at their Word.

You are Christian and you used the "f" word in your second sentence............hmmmmmmmm
To answer your question......it is an immoral, unsafe, and dangerous lifestyle
You talk about being ignorant.......As as selfproclaimed Christian, you should know that God's Word is eternal, it does not change. The only changes are the ones that people, like yourself, want to make so that their bad life decisions don't seem to be bad.
Sin is sin.....always was, always will be.......even if every single ones of us does it, it's still a sin
You have a Merry Christmas

Ok, first. The Bible is against sin, not the people who commit sin. The Bible is written for sinners. All the people God choose in the Bible were sinners. All of them... except of course Jesus. He loves us and he is very forgiving. In the old testament nobody went to Heaven excet Enoch. It is possible to be homosexual and Christian. All sin is equal and washed away with Jesus' blood. Homosexuality is a sin but so is smoking. We are human we can only strive everyday to be better people today than we were yesterday. Merry Christmas!

God made the laws of nature which works according to His Creation. Anything that goes against His Creation is a violation of His laws. You don't need the Bible to tell you that.
A man is meant to be with a woman. If a man was meant to be with another man, He would need to altered the reproductive organs so that man can be with a man or a woman with a woman, but He didn't do that.

Like you, I came to realize that the Bible perpetuates the ancient prejudices of its authors, men of a time very different from our own. Humanity has grown up a good bit since then. We have discovered better explanations for how the universe came to be, how the human body works, and what is civilized and what is not. I congratulate you for stepping out of the dark cave of superstition into the light of reason.

You for sure do no longer comprehend Biblical interpretation. the two adult men chum yet another like ultimate buds or brothers. there is not any longer something incorrect with 2 adult men being acquaintances. As for Jonathan giving David his gown, his gown replaced into the emblem of royalty and authority. Jonathan understood that David replaced into going to become the king, no longer him. He knew that Saul have been rejected by using God. Jonathan replaced into honoring God's chosen by using voluntarily giving up his authority to God's chosen. to grant him his sword might have meant that he replaced into putting himself in David's arms, under his protection, and that he depended on him along with his existence. whilst 2 human beings made a covenant, they continuously traded own products that could seal the deal, very equivalent to signing a settlement. study Bible history previously making dumb tests.
