if you refer to Lev18:21: And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23: Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24: Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
26: Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Lev 20:13: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
14: And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.
15: And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.
16: And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them
1 Cor 6:8: Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9: Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10: Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11: And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God
Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them
AS a Christian you try and follow what god asked you to do just like we do in our relationships. To be a Christian means that you accept what Jesus did for you and you love god. The New Testament say that a man shouldn’t lay with another man But if you follow what he say you can be forgiven for it.

hi, No. they have an analogous mind-blowing to stay as absolutely everyone and one guy reaming yet another has no damaging effect on you or me not to point the fee of tea in China. a million) Israel has not had the dying penalty for gays for over 2000 years or maybe then they have been a great deal constrained by the Roman government shop King Herod's territory. the rustic ceased to exist after the Jewish revolts against Rome. 2) Over 30 years in the past maximum western international places got here to the logical end which you won't be able to administration what is going on interior the bedrooms of our united states. 3) Even interior the days of the Leviticus regulations, homosexuality as in different cultures replace into condemned and discouraged particularly because of the fact purely a million in 4 made it to adulthood and older age and the proliferation of the tribe and lifestyle replace into paramount. They felt if everybody engaged in this and no infants have been delivered forth from comparable intercourse relationships then the tribe confronted extinction. i assume this argument is a moot element now socially speaking given the international is over 6 billion. besides adultery and fornication have been additionally punishable by dying in those days so reason might dictate those sinners might die besides. 4) For trivialities sake, there are at the instant 7 Islamic international places that even have the dying penalty for homosexuality, notwithstanding in the event that they don't seem to be the variety of variety international places i might decide to stay in and nastily shrink a variety of of alternative human rights besides.

Funny, not being a Christian, that book and your words hold no meaning for me but Honestly with all your blather I wonder how YOU justify Casting "stones" and Passing Judgment when you are specifically forbidden from doing so especially with the words "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone", supposedly coming directly from the mouth of the one you claim as savior? Is it true then that given the right circumstances you CAN actually justify anything with that book, even circumventing direct commandments from Jesus himself, or do you, like so many others before you, simply pay lip service to that book in order to be like the Pharisees and use it simply to back up bigotry and hatred, putting down others so that you may look "better" in others eyes?

Its just like the Story of Onan, who was a Chronic Masterbat*r. Onan's sin WASN'T that he m*sterb*ted. It was that, that was ALL HE DID. He didn't mate, have children or anything else but take pleasure IN HIMSELF. The same for the above. But, when you BECOME God, then I'll listen to what YOU have to say, until then, I'll listen to Christ Jesus. OH WAIT, in 33 and 1/2 years he never said a word against Gays! That's right, your placing your words above the words of Gods only Son. Think about THAT before you Judge. Should you leave the Judging to HIM? Do what Christ DID SAY TO DO: 1) SEEK OUT THE SALVATION OF YOUR OWN SOUL 2) PREACH THE GOOD NEWS OF HIS KINGDOM 3) FAITH WITHOUT WORKS "IS DEAD" 4) RENDER UNTO CEASER WHAT IS CEASER'S (OBEY THE LAWS OF THE LAND) 4) JUDGE NOT LEST YOU BE JUDGED 5) PREACH TO THOSE WHO "NEED" IT, THOSE WHO "ARE SICK" NOT THOSE WHO ARE WEALTHY AND DON'T NEED IT. AS THE CORNY SAYING GOES, A CHURCH IS NOT A SHRINE FOR SAINTS BUT A HOSPITAL FOR SINNERS!

1. Jesus never said anything about gays
2. the "scriptures" were written by mortals who thought they had the right to interpret God. WHAT ARROGANCE!
3. if you believe in God, then you know God created all men equal, gay and straight
4.How can YOU attempt to know what God meant?
5. God gave you a mind to figure this stuff out. Come to your own conclusion, and know its right. Stop torturing yourself. Thats why GOD gave you a brain!

There are 400 billion stars in our galaxy and about 400 billion galaxies each with about 400 billion stars. That makes about 160trillion stars. Many of those stars have planets and it is quite likely that some of those planets will support life apart from ours.
If there is a god and he has all that to think about, I really don't think he is going to be the slightest bit worried about what I do in bed and who I do it with. If gods are not concerned, why should you be?

being christian means more than just going to church and reading the bible. god sees whats in your heart and that means more than actions. having total faith in god, allowing god to guide you in your day to day life, god will grant all that is needed.
yes god knows im gay and that im a god fearing woman, but
i do not listen to people around me or even priests, i am not hurting a child or saying "gd" or bashing god. i am a believer
and i have total faith in god, give your life to god, and quit worrying about what others think and do, be true to god not mankind.
no one is without sin, so get past that sin stuff, while you sleep you sin, only by the grace of god that you may enter heaven and only by the grace of god.
i worry about my soul not what others think, no one will be standing by me at judgement day.
as far as gays in the bible, look under how many restrictions there are heterosexuals. stop judging us, we all have sinned.
let god judge you as you judge others.
why worry about my soul, when you judge you endanger yours.
god dont make mistakes, and god loves all his children.

Just because Leviticus says so doesn't mean GOD says so. And while we're at it, do YOU follow all the admonitions found in Leviticus?? Like wearing garments of blended fabrics?? Cutting your hair??

Most clean-shaven Christians who eat shellfish have a remarkable capacity for reconciling this with their churchgoing activites. Most gay Christians have developed similar fortitude.

Maybe they don't consider Leviticus applies today? Your quoted verses from the New Testament do not specificially ban homosexuality, but only "fornicators", "idolaters", "adulterers", "effeminate", "abusers of themselves" which only includes homosexuality if you already believe that homosexuality is evil.

God is the only judge of any man so let him do his job. Why would you even be concerned with this....I feel more people need to worry about themselves then of other people's desires...if they want to be gay and go to church its non of your concern. God will deal with them in their own time....If your gay and your wondering for yourself then that is a different story.
