Homosexuality in Australia (14 Viewers)

[supercalamari]

Ahh, not much really, since Jesus believed in the OT, which include several anti-homosexual verses (as does the NT)...

I wouldn't believe that Jesus would ever condone aggression towards gays, when asked to summise His religion He said it boiled down to loving God and your fellow man for example. This does not mean He would approve of glorifying a life of sin, simply becuase He doesn't support violence against people who choose to do so.

Whaat? Jesus believed in the OT?
It was written 90 years after his death. So how could he have believed in it?

If Jesus believed in the OT, then why did he break OT law? If he truly believed in the OT, then he would of obeyed all the laws in it.

My point exactly.

A person is not a pedo, simply because they feel an attraction to children (though I can't deny the thought freaks me out, slighty more than homosexuality).

In exactly the same way, a person is not "guilty" of homosexuality simply because they feel attracted to people of the same sex.

The actual sex, in both cases is a choice, attraction isn't an excuse.

I loved him, so I needed to have sex with him is akin to saying I hated him, so I had to kill him.

Jesus never condemnd me sucking another guys cock, so I will continue to do so just as long as Im in a loving relationship.

Pedophilia and Homosexuality are NOTHING alike. Homosexuality is between TWO CONSENTING ADULTS. Something I'm sure Jesus wouldnt condem. I know that Jesus loves me for me, and this is the way I was MADE. If homosexuality was such a sin, why isnt it in the 10 commandments? times were different then

I consider a Christian someone who fully accepts all aspects of Christianity, which includes the bible.

Thats why I dont consider myself a Christian as I dont belive what the bible says overall, but I believe what Jesus says, his word and his ethics. I know theres other things which werent condemnd by Jesus like pedophilia and that is where my own aquired ethics come in. I doubt Jesus approved of pedophilia but I've come to the conclusion that me being Gay isnt a sin (again since I belive that homosexuality isnt a choice unlike pedophillia, and therefore Jesus wouldnt disapprove of me loving an adult of my own gender)

Basically I believe in what Jesus actually said, rather than the whole new testement. Thats the message of God, what Jesus actually said, the other stuff isnt. So I'm more spiritual than religious

so you are picking and chosing what part of the bible you want to believe to so you can keep on living your sinful lifestyle. My goodness at least be consistant.

No Im not.

I believe in God and what Jesus said, thats it.

Jesus made reference to the old testement, how can you not believe in that, when you believe in what Jesus Said

I don't really want to bring out the "Lol Leviticus" card again but it seems to answer your own question.

I was simply Stating that they seem to be only believing the parts of the bible which fits in with their lifestyle and ignoring, or rejecting all the parts they don't like. How can you reject the old testement when you accept the gospels?

No he loves the person hates the sin.

So that means that people are free to have sexual relations with their family members, because Jesus didn't condemn incest either.

Fact of the matter is that we know incest is wrong, since it is condemned elsewhere in the Bible. The Bible is more than a collection of Jesus quotes.

Incest can be between two consenting adults, see above.

I think it is wrong for you to blame your imperfections on God, or to imply that He is incapable of perfection. God didn't make you a homosexual, just like He didn't make x person a murderer or y person a rapist.

Just as someoone can have a genetic predisposition to alcohol abuse, they are not an alcoholic unless they choose to allow themselves to abuse alcohol.

We have been through this sooo many times before... :*(

Name_Taken, you're right.


I'll ask God to forgive me for my sins.

I'll stop my homosexuality, I mean not my thinking...I cant suddenly be attracted to female, but I'll stop sleeping, dating etc with men.


Thank you name_taken for your enlightenment.

I detect some sarcasm in those words, if not then; good man, I wish you luck and God bless

"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither."

You do realise that sex is a need right?

Physiological needs
For the most part, physiological needs are obvious—they are the literal requirements for human survival. If these requirements are not met (with the exception of clothing and shelter), the human body simply cannot continue to function.
Physiological needs include:

• Breathing
• Food
• Sexual activity
• Homeostasis

Why is it needed? Virgins seems to be surviving just fine.

Get married then No-one said you can't have sex, or that it is a bad thing, just that its only acceptable in a certain, very specific context.

And please explain to me how not having sex will actually cause the death of a human being. What utter drivel.

Virgins and people who abstain are like totally dying on the streets aren't they?

They masturbate you fuckwit. It said sexual activity, not intercourse.

i'm didn't mean to say that they'd drop dead without sex. all i mean is that you cannot deny the benefits of sex.
