ArchivedRomans 1, the ONLY biblical text with a reference to gay sexYou have not established that Romans 1 is the only Scripture that deals with homosexuality. Primarily by the total disregard for the principles used by the framers of the Consitution of the United States, the word of God or to be blunt -- the Bible. Heterosexual morality has been a joke for almost a century, and liberal judges have twisted the Constitution to come up with "right to privacy". The church should respond by returning to their roots the Bible and God's will. To what purpose? What demeans sexuality is lust, perversion, and promiscuity since these activities violate the trust others place in us. What affirms sexuality is commitment and love, true love does no harm, etc. You really are a simpleton. The similarities are obvious, emotional love. The emotions gay men and lesbian women have are God given and are no different than that of ever-straights. Emotional love is not the issue on this forum. The expression of this love is the issue. The difference is how our bodies are designed and how our brains are different. Science has demonstrated that men and women have different brain patterns so they will compliment each other. Speaking from a strictly secular viewpoint there is no basic difference between gay and straight love. However, the emotional and physical damage to gay men and to some extent to lesbian women should be taken into consideration. The Journal of Epidemiology, in an article published in 1997 stated that gay men shorten their life spans by as much as 20 years and gay men are subject to some diseases that are found almost exclusively in them. One such disease is anal cancer. The psychological problems associated with gay relationships are their brevity, which accounts for the higher suicide rate among adult gay men and lesbian women. The average “long-term” gay relationship last no longer than 18 months and the few that last 5 years or longer are seldom monogamous. One purpose for the union of man and woman is procreation, but it is by no means the only purpose. God stated that “for the two shall become one flesh”. So an additional purpose is for companionship, unity, commitment, and to symbolize God’s union with man. As to miscarriage and infertility humans have genetic problems that can lead to infertility as can injury to organs and miscarriages can be caused by many circumstances including substance abuse, physical abuse, and again genetic problems or birth defects. You have missed one important factor in the way God created woman. Women are the only sex that has an organ designed strictly for sexual pleasure and men do not. So to assume that God created male and female unions only for procreation is ludicrous. I could care less if you or anyone who accepts gay theology takes me seriously. I have one goal in my life and that is to live in obedience to the word and calling of Jesus Christ. You have pulled one verse out of context and want an explanation? Okay, lets put it into context: Verse 28 states in plain English that faith in Christ is not limited to a single sex, ethnic group, or social class. In order to understand the full impact you must start with vs. 23. We are told the law is our tutor, you know teacher, to lead us to faith in Jesus Christ. Again in plain English the Law is where we find the nature, character, and expectations of a Holy God who can redeem us only with the shedding of blood. The law also defines sin. If you make a careful study of the Law you will find that no man can live the Law completely and it requires animal sacrifices to atone for our sins. Jesus Christ is that sacrifice so the animal sacrifices are no longer required. However, the sins that need to be atoned for are listed in the Law, one of which is the Biblical reference to homosexuality you refuse to list, actually the only one that describes the act – Lev 18:22. There is a vast difference between practicing Christians who are gay and professing Christians who practice gay sexual activity. It is very possible to be a celibate gay practicing Christian and be in full relationship with God. But add the sexual activity and you break that relationship. And as 1 John tells us those who practice a sin are not children of God. Now this is the last time I will respond to your disrespectful posts. No matter how much you disagree with me you don’t have the right to address me as anything but Aineo, and this applies to any other person on this message board. You claim to be a Christian and yet continually violate the one commandment you stressed in your initial post “love your neighbor” and like it or not I am your neighbor. The next post that includes a bastardization of my screen name or insults another poster to this board will be deleted. Your parents did not do a good job of teaching you to respect others so I will exercise my prerogative to delete any post I want to. In the future if you want to appeal to scholars who disagree with traditional thought you best cite your sources since appealing to “scholars” is just another way to get around the truth. |
