Why should anyone care about your stone age fairy tales? Your or your fantasy book really has no place telling anyone how they should or should not live.

Homosexuality isn't suggested interior the Bible. do no longer quote the 8 or so verses actually everyone costs, except you incredibly understand what they mean. The Bible does no longer condemn homosexuality. i've got not got self assurance i'd desire to ever include it as a existence-type, yet perchance greater human beings would desire to incorporate the gay without bias and hatred. actually everyone would desire to be allowed to be themselves and to be prevalent for who they are.

Without a doubt, the organization known as "Soulforce" is the leading proponent of the notion that homosexuality is permissable within Christianity. Right now, they are engaging in a tour of all Christian colleges in the U.S. -- using two massive tour buses -- to try and persuade Christian educators that we should tolerate homosexual behavior. They are, of course, quite wrong. Today, several Soulforce members were arrested on a college campus for trespassing after being told ahead of time they were unwelcome.
Here's a booklet that describes their various arguments:

All of this is easily addressed by careful, prayerful scholarship. Especially the argument regarding 1 Cor. 6:9.

I am not saying that it is permitted. I'm saying that it is a human condition. I would no more tell you that it wasn't sinful than I would tell you that cold blooded murder wasn't sinful.
What many Christians seem to miss is that we are supposed to be preaching the Gospel message. Not anti homosexuality, unless someone brings it up, or the Spirit of God directs us to. I find that many Christians use scripture out of context, ESPECIALLY Romans 1. And they ESPECIALLY miss the point of Sodom.
Christians need to get this stuff right.
If you have any more questions about this, I have Yahoo IM and e-mail. I feel that this is important!!!!!!!

The Bible describes three emotionally close relationships between two people of the same gender. They appear to have progressed well beyond a casual friendship. There is, however, no unmistakable evidence that they were sexually active relationships. The individuals are:
Ruth and Naomi
David and Jonathan
Daniel and Ashpenaz

This is for the benefit of those who think homosexuality is permitted in the Bible. Think again because the Bible says...
"Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn't know how to be human either—women didn't know how to be women, men didn't know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches." (Romans 1:26-27 The Message)
"The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body......Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.....You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. (1 Corinthians 6:12-20 NIV)

This verse: Leviticus 20:13
'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Here's one I refer to:
Romans 1:27: "In 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."

The Bible says that homosexuality is a sin, but it also says in the same chapter that it is a sin to eat ham, so don't take it too literally.
