  • You know what my problem is mother fucker? it's fucking people like you who drive distracted! you kill people every day mother fucker. Idgaf about gays. but mother fuckers like you are fucked selfish. you obviously know what you kill people, and you are doing it any ways. Bastard!

  • god does not exist. there problem solved nao shhh.. kthx

  • Honestly if Christ were here he would be a champion for us the outcast and unwanted because we are ALL God's children no matter what so called Christians say

  • Pull the poor us card we are hated by Christians...so if you believe in your homosexual life style then YOU hate everyone who don't? NO that's bullshit! If we hated you then we wouldn't tell you about the bible and preach the word, we would just let burn in hell. Don't you understand we are trying to save you? From eternal damnation..

  • @crystalrain379 You are very wrong. It's not a choice. Look for info about it other than the Bible. And sharing the Bible with others is something the person your sharing it with has a choice to listen to you. You can't force on your views. Jesus never did.

  • Suicide is a choice just like being homosexual!

  • [continued] ...hang in there. The world is a wondrous, challenging place, filled with beauty and some decent people. You don't need religious precepts to guide you as you explore and contribute to its beauty, you need knowledge, humanity, love.and a determination to be the best man you can be. Let the religiomanics of WHATEVER creed stew in their hatreds and hells and their preöccupation with 'sacred' texts. It's your life to live: Find a lover and GO FOR IT!

    Best luck, Jack.

  • [continued] Christians have been bludgeoning and killing one another (and everyone else) for millennia, supposedly trying to save 'immortal souls.' Dump them, man, if you want to stay sane -- much religion is madness, BIG TIME. Love your body, your mind and others -- that may have been what Jesus was trying to say when the Christers got rid of him. You posess a fine intellect and a winning personality -- dont get sidetracted looking for heavens, hells or demons. Get a buddy to love and...

  • I enjoy the thoughts you share here even if your presentation is a bit disorganised (perhaps it's trying to drive and think simultaneously). But forget it: Religious types aren't interested in reasonable argument, they BELIEVE, they have FAITH -- truth concerns them as little as living in a real world does. They've invented gods and souls and all sorts of vapourous nonsense.  And Christians hate everything -- their bodies, the world, each other: don't be surprised that they hate you! [more]

  • ANy one who spends their time bothering gay people isnt acting in accordance with what Jesus said or did. They are being dicks.

    Dont blame christianty for Homophobia- ive known people who didnt believe who hate gays- homophobia and hate are from the person.

    Christianity isnt causing anyone to kill themselves, people being dicks is whats causing the prob...

  • @auraofgloom I agree. People use the laws of the bible as an excuse for their reasons to hate and hurt other people.

    People think they're "playing God".

    NOT EVERY CHRISTIAN hates gay people.

    Jesus didn't say for people to hate other people.

    We're also not supposed to judge other people either.

    John 8:7

  • here are many so called and self proclaimed "christians" out there. When Jesus confronted the woman at the well there were also "religous" people there. Those religious people wanted to stone the woman to death because she had been caught in the very act of having sex with a man who wasn't her husband. (Google the story) Jesus response was basically that he confronted those self-righteous religous people with thier own sin. He said to the woman "neither do I condem thee go and sin no more"

  • 70 percent of the USA CLAIM to be christains while probably less than 50 percent actually are. I guarantee you that the so called christains that harrased those gay guys were really not even christains they just believed in God. God is love and christaiams are loving to once they receive Jesus as their savior. God loves gays and all sinners which is why he sent Jesus to die for us but if they don't accept Christ they will go to Hell not because God sent them to Hell but because they chose

  • Not all Christians live the way Jesus wants us to live. It is a shame hearing that. And if you want to know why homosexuality is wrong.. it's because it wasn't the (original) intentions of God - like how sin is. God knew and sent Jesus before the creation of the world. Don't give up, pray.

  • I'm Christian but it really angers me when this stuff happens. "Christians" that protest stuff like this are not at all being Christ like. If they treat people like this' then how do they expect to be treated? Just because they disagree with the life style doesn't mean they should hate the person. God loves everybody(no mater their race, religion, sexuality) we should love everybody too

  • what I don't understand is how TV networks like TBN and all those will do special TV shows on how gay people are bad, and how were ruining America.. but yet they never do shows talking about rapists, drunk people, stuff like that. They treat us like were bigger sinners(not saying were singing, just using their point of view.)

  • Another Christophobic. Pathetic. Yet you impose your big government nanny state Statist atheist religion on us. There may be no God, but I do not worship the Washington elites. I do not scarifice to the throne of power.

  • Sometimes parents use religion to demand certain behaviours from their kids, which is simply a method of control. It is a control issue between the parents and children. When parents don't' have their demands met, they become frustrated and they use arguments of guilt and insults. Parents don't usually accept gay children, and since parents always have a huge influence, that is why these kids are very insecure and prone to have serious emotional ordeals thus contributing to high suicide rate.

  • Everybody here discusses about God, believe, religion...but the only thing I concentrated on to was "Wow! What a cute boy!" and.."What car is he driving?! Looks nice." :-) Am I kinda strange? :)

  • Do you know the one thing about clinical depression, suicide and being gay is, the last place you should go to is a Christian church, they'll abandon you, mock and scoff you, and say things like "I hope you die of aids, God hates fagots, and other loving things to support you." Then when you show them up for what they really are they throw you out of the Church. Left to die. Happy daze. Christianity is the house of the Devil, leave her, she's a whore, all that's pagan in her knickers.

  • One more thing... your statement. "This world would be better without Christians" In this world people attack religion freely, without penalty. If a Christian makes a statement like that about homosexuals they would be ostracized in their communities and their workplace. The problem I see is, you haven't met many real Christians.Enough of the painting with a "broad" brush. Your statements are not going to open dialog, they will invite criticism.

  • I don't think you'll ever hear the answer your looking for. This world preaches to you every day and your anger is focused on the "Christians?" Wow

  • Maybe they killed themselves because being gay feels wrong or bad......

  • @nmclay Maybe they killed themselves over people that can't accept it.

  • Just like it is useless to argue with you about your gay lifestyle.

  • ur really into suicide n ur quality id better thn some.

  • Theo, I understand that Jesus said, "I give you a new commandment: love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this will all men know that you are my disciples, because you have love for one another." (John 13:34-35)

    I also believe that we Christians find it hard to reach out in a loving manner (especially to the Homosexual community) without having to deal with conflict from those who reject the message of Christ themselves.

  • "I dont like arguing with Christians because its not really an argument" - SPOT ON.

    They wont ever look outside of their belief and consider anything else. As the world around them changes to accept gay people, they claim that society is sick.

  • @kevvie100 Stand by our moral values? What are we thinking?

  • christianity is a good religion but people who called themselves christian doesn't learn the word from god AND the word in the bible doesn't come from god or jesus. god love everyone and his solution to our planet population density is to create the gays to this world. i think people think being gay is wrong is that two men or women cannot reproduce and cannot raise children like normal people.

  • @Vietnamemperor12346 I'm sorry.. what?

  • @xPikmin2x

    what point you don't understand?

  • Comment removed

  • @xPikmin2x

    no you don't get it. the earth is already have alot of people that causes pollution which is a threat to the planet plus alot of straight couples these day take advantages of marriage and some of these couples are not being a good responsible parent so what the point of not letting the gays get married? then they going to value the true meaning of the word marriage?

  • @Vietnamemperor12346 Oh okayyyyy. hmm. I havent heard that one yet. So this is like an enviromentalist view? You call that being "green"? Alright.

  • @xPikmin2x

    society is changing everything is changing and the issue vis people are afraid of changing they want to remain the old traditional life. but gay or straight it doesn't matter.

  • Comment removed

  • @Vietnamemperor12346 Yes the world is changing in the exact way that THE BIBLE predicts. We also know how it will all end. And BTW, YES it does matter.

  • @Vietnamemperor12346 Wow i agree with your hypothesis for the existence of homosexuality. The Earth cannot accept the growing population so this is the most natural and peaceful way to control it. You cannot convince religious people of this. They are totally delusional .

  • @aloquicious  Why not give it a try?

  • @xPikmin2x I did. I was brought up in a Catholic family baptized and confirmed but as i grew older i realized that the Bible was really "Black or White" on issues but there are issues in life that i believe are gray. That's when i start believing that the Bible was not really from a divine source but was written by mortal men although well intended it has caused more bad than good.

  • Comment removed

  • @aloquicious I know what you mean. The catholic religion does not give an accurate representation of who GOD really is .When I became born again? It all changed..I found out that GOD not only loved me but could actually interact directly with me day to day..And as for the BIBLE? OMGosh! It came alive!! And no it is not black and white as you stated. It does not cause bad..only to the bad guys. pm me if you want to know more. BEST INFO EVER!!!!! :)

  • @aloquicious I agree too!(:

  • Comment removed

  • DONT BLAME CHRISTIANS FOR THEM COMMITTING SUICIDE..MAY BE ITS BECAUSE OF THE GUILT.DONT YOU REALIZE HOMOSEXUALS ARE NOT HAPPY PEOPLE? THEY PRETEND & YEAH THEY LOVE THEIR "ACTIVITIES" BUT WHAT THEY DONT KNOW IS ITS KILLING THEM. DONT BLAME US.

  • Sadly, certain Xtians' self-induced, willful ignorance, along with their irrational determination to condemn minorities is a deadly combination. For some reason, these Xians always demand special rights; they think they can ram their chosen religious lifestyle down other people's throats, & that everyone else is supposed to accept it, not matter how deviant, harmful & absurd the Xians' behavior & beliefs are. Then they turn around & blame their victims. What hypocrisy. God must be so ashamed.

  • @GodCreatesGays2Your name is an oxymoron,and your dialog is perplexing to say the least.

  • xPikmin2x. God, Himself, both understands and agrees with my name and my comments, so it's not too worrisome if confused men don't. :)

  • Can I just say, I watched your vid. There is no biblical reason to justify homosexuality, but you KNOW you are gay! THEREFORE how can you be created wrongly?You can't - you are an act of God! People may quote testimony this and that, but they did not create you. I suspect you know this. I suspect they know this too. Be who you are, be good, be kind, be nice (it does help) and have a sense of humour!

  • @ASilvershade and what God created bestiality, pedophilia and necrophilia too. these people have an attraction they cannot control too!

  • I`m christian,, and I love gay people!! I`m hoping to change all this, and I don`t judge anyone. We`re all people!! II treat all people the same. :D

  • Unfortunately this is what religion does to a lot of people. It does not allow people to be who they are and throughout the so called " good book" there are all kinds of unspeakable horrors done by God himself. As a non believer i have set myself free from the strangling chains of superstition

  • people that harass others into killing themselves are not Christians.

    And after Jesus came and left everything in the old testament was basically considered numb and void. that doesn't mean that the things they did back then was right. The old testament was considered more like a law of the land not necessarily gods will, not when one of the people who was writing the bible was in the next room...

  • "love thy neighbor"

    whether s/he's gay, straight, or trans <3

  • Am I ashamed of Jesus? Never. I love Jesus and he is fundamental in my life. Am I ashamed of being part of the Christian church? You bet. Is it a real good news to preach people that God can "save" you of your freedom of being who you are and bring you into a "new life" of rules, fear of breaking them and in many cases forced celibacy for life? I don't think so. Jesus would have never preached so a flawed gospel.

  • The Bible says that if a child disobeys his or her parents thou shalt be stoned to death (or something like that), do u see kids getting stoned!??! NO

    Gahhlllyyyy.

    And we're supposed to live by the Golden rule...yeah the thing i don't like about religion is hypocrisy.

    I love being Christian, and I know we're supposed to tell others, but i dunno, i feel like its a personal thing.

  • Im a gay christian, not all christian are fundamentalists but I cant stand the ones who are, American christians seem to be a lot less libral than european christians, I agree with what u say, theres nothing christian about hatred, religion does more harm than good these days, we need to stand up to facists to protect future LGBT youth, fair play for making this video

  • I'm not going to touch the gay debate with a 10 ft pole.

    However... I will say this. I am right behind you on the whole "Christianity" issue. I am straight and despise the way so many "Christian's" are. We are supposed to be kind, forgiving, loving, etc, but so many do just the opposite. I'll let you in on a little secret. You don't have to be gay to find yourself on the receiving end of a religious rant about how everything you're doing is wrong.

  • I haven't been in church for over a year because I can't stand the way "Christians" treat one another. Not to mention the way I grew up basically told me that you ask Jesus into your heart, you do what's right and you'll get into heaven, but if you screw up and die before you get a chance to repent, you automatically go to Hell.

  • You teach me that God is loving, compassionate, understanding... but if I do something stupid, get into my car and die in a car wreck before I have a chance to tell him I'm sorry, before I have a chance to EVALUATE what I've done, he's going to condemn me to Hell? I don't want to believe in a God like that.

  • BENDER!!!!

  • It is true! I killed myself 4 years ago after being bothered by a nigger preacher!

  • @drmoogala how are you still here then??

  • Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

    Rom 1:27-28 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

  • the words of Jesus.

    Mat 23:33 You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?

    Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

    Mat 13:41-42 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

  • When his chosen understand that he will do this and that he has called his chosen to go and warn the world to give their life to Christ and turn from their sin (repent)

    the world gets mad because they see it as Judging when what they are doing is informing not Judging.

    They are warning of a judgment to come.

    Take a close look at what Jesus says.

    the things he said are why the Pharisee and Sadducee wanted him dead

    Just like when these words of Christ are shared today people get angry.

  • Jesus said this.

    Mat 10:34-36 "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

    He said this because his chosen will understand that he is comming again and he will cast liars, thieves, gays, and more into Hell.

    continue..

  • religious arguments are 1 sided, more of a nag, or a lecture accualy, its preety entertaing at first but eventualy get annoying

  • Hi Scotty,

    We would love to have you join our community. I'm Jewish and I've see nothing but loving kindness towards the LGBT and African American community. Our history of persecution has taught us to be kind to others who are different from us.

  • Idk if you should be saying that ALL Christians are like that. Unortunately most are, but not all of them. But for the Christians that are like that, you're right. Idk how they can call themselves Christians either...

  • It's mostly Evangelical Christianity. These are the people who take the Bible literally and live a hypocritical lifestyle.

    Ted Haggard for example. He could quote Paul, who said that homosexuals were "worthy of death", but Ted had sex with men on the side.

    Methodists and some other Christian sects are laid back. It's Evangelical Christianity that is evil, not gays/lesbians.

    My advice? Look into Secular Humanism and leave religion alone.

  • i love your videos btw. Christians are one of the most hated religions in this world... people who do you think you are thinking your above anyone... As for me i guess you can call me "christian" i view it as more of a title then anything. Do i goto a "christian" church? yeah.. my point is i have a relationship with God and in the end thats all that matters. regarless what religion one claims.

  • people don't commit suicide for how "christians" treat them. Some christians treat others bad... not all of them. The only one who knows the real reason behind the suicide is the person who did it.

  • Don't forget the other minorities who got their way and they had no control over their birth. So we had no control. We will one day be accepted as normal as anyone else and I will not debate the bible as I have in the past. Those who use it as a lever do not do it well as they do not read all of the verse or passage. Be strong guys and gals we will win. We too are Gods children no matter what anyone says.

  • This is major problem in the Christian community. They are using the bible to support their actions in many cases. I think the best option is that if they dont agree then they should be waiting to support people not running around to condemn and beat them down. History has shown that the bible keeps being misused to support incorrect causes and hatred. IE: Before the 70's it was illegal for Interracial couples to marry and was supported through the bible.

    It is the misuse that causes hate.

  • I'm gay...I'm a Christian..it's possible. A sin is a sin is a sin. That's what is said in the Bible, so Christians should believe it. No one is perfect, we ALL sin. Since being gay is the same as lying or stealing, i don't think it any worse or better..There are "Christians" who do go crazy, but they have sins, too. Those who say they are christians and act like barbarians are worse than atheists..the leading cause for atheism are these "christians." just don't lump us all together...

  • Well said !

  • We christians should focus our energy on helping people, not on condemning then!

  • the problem is they don't let people to help them..they say "this is what I like and I can't change" when you come to Jesus everything is possible,I have friends that decide to ask for help and they are feeling better now.I hope your hate feelings would stop.you aren't being any better than Christians or anybody.

  • He's not being judgmental to Christains. He's talking about Christain fundamentals. As for '...they don't let people to help them' gays don't want help to be cured, we want help to survive as we are in the system that "is causing people to kill themselves" as Theophi1us says.

  • TheoreticalBullshit makes a very good point on the bible. Look up 'The Gospel of John Doe' (you have nothing to lose and everything to gain; trust me).

    Gay people aren't the ones with the problem. We actually trust our bodies and minds over other people's imaginations. And trust me, 'feeling' the presence of something doesn't mean it exists. I've felt the presence of red-eyed cartoon minotaurs in my kitchen, but it's not like I go preaching their alleged teachings to the rest of the world.

  • Homosexuality isn't accepted because God created men and women that is it...the bible says it very clearly,we are noboby to jugde and people that have different likes is because there's something wrong....and I mean like sick,maybe their hormon levels are not correct or so many different kinds of conditions...

  • God doesn't make gay people,you need to understand that,it's part of this world full of sin that those kind of things happen.Christians are humans too you know and we all make mistakes,we are humans that know we need help that is the reason we go to the hospital called "church"...Christians aren't perfect we just know we need help because we can't do it by ourself we need God.

  • and actually its 60% of teen sucides that is related to issues with sexuality and what people say to them XD

  • your so right!!

  • Woah sorry for flagging this your right it's just this iPhone and the YouTube app I am so sorry. But I have shown some other christans about what you said and blew it off I know sigh....

  • There is a shirt I saw once that said, "God I love You, but save me from your people." I completely understood how that person felt. Just remember that if SOME Christians feel that way, that is for them to deal with. Not all Christians do, and you MUST KNOW THAT GOD LOVES YOU!!! I am a gay man and a Christian! I love God as well. He has proven to me that He loves me! Please know you are loved!

  • I agree with you a bit, it does anger me how other christians point fingers when they're just as bad. I'm a Christian and I have a friend that is gay, I don't hate him, he's cool. I do wish that you wouldn't hate all christians because not all Christians are like that. I agree that it's wrong to condemn gay people because it's not our place to judge, it's God's. and in the Bilbe it says that all people are made in the image of God... so doesn't that mean that God made you this way for a reason?

  • no it isnt god place to gudge

    if he made us then why should he gudge us

    In the bible it says to hate and kill gays

    it also says some other sick fucked up stuff

    please stop being an apologist and get some common sence

  • He created you, it isn't your place to judge God or his word like your doing right now..

  • hes not judging god hes upset that you are judging him when only god should judge him

  • I was replying to someone else not the video.

  • no he didnt create me

    noone created me

    exept my parents

    and even if god is real

    il judge him all i want

    its not like he does anything good

    millions of people suffer

  • But who created your parents etc (idiot). Man had the right to choose and he abused that right so now ppl are dying and ppl (like you) are blaming god.

    You, being naive as you are about God is reason enough that you cant judge him.

  • NOONE CREATED MY PARENTS

    thats the point

    dont you realize that

    the question isnt "who created the universe ?"

    but its"who OR what created the universe?"

    there is no evidence for god

    and im not going off no evidence

    simple

    now leave me alone

  • Then you don't exist and I'm not talking to you. Bye, I'll leave you alone (whoever You is).

  • bye

    just remember your spending your life

    praying to nothing

  • At least I'm alive Mr Nobody created me.

  • lol

    do you mean the mr nobody that has killed millions and kills people who eat shellfish

    lol

  • Wow those dead innocents must be elated that ppl like u are laughing at their deaths.

  • well to be honest

    he didnt kill anyone

    because he isnt real

    im talking about the deaths in the bible

    which arnt real

    so yeah

  • The mega-churchs and TV evangelical "pop' Christianity is not real Christianity and is largely a make up your own religion as you go along political movement.

    Thanks for your video... it helps

  • Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

    Leviticus 18:22 (KJV)

    I love how this scripture is thrown around a lot. Yet there is no scripture against pedophilia. I am sorry if two consenting men or women want to have a relationship it doesn't bother me. Let's focus our attention on things that are a bit more important.

  • sister,

    keep your attention on the wheel , go home and from there, send us your LIGHT of knowledge to illuminate us...

  • Were you driving the car while filming this?

  • I agree, that is kinda dangerous.

  • There is worse out there thin Christianity. Other religions stone people for being gay (can not post the name)

    The best way to deal with any Catholic that says anything to you is: Say that you have said your 3 Hail Mary's and are forgiven by God (According to all the Catholic Church doing that will have your sins forgiven for anything)

    Here's how I look at it; if people don't except you for who you are, F*** them, you are better off without them.

  • Scotty - Thanks to you for letting us use your space. And thanks for posting the video and generating discussion!

  • These people need to realize that homosexuality is not a choice or a "predisposition to sin". (heard it all...)

    Secondly, they need to realize that taking an ancient book written by man (certainly not the ones to whom it is purported) as divinely inspired doctrine is insane.

  • There's a good opportunity to harass christians ^^ Cut them off from money and privileges like they did for centuries to all kinds of people the harassed and entiteld as sinners for no reason.

  • Anyone who loves Jesus...is a faggot! The one who had pity and love for faggots...was JESUS!

    In my country...we don't use religion to show people the correct way of life...we use guns. :)

  • Sad that someone would commit suicide rather than abandon their sinful lifestyle.

    If you want to be gay that is your choice, but calling yourself a gay Christian is like calling yourself a meat-eating vegetarian.

    The bible is our guide to what is sin and what is not in God's eyes. It is what God's Word says that matters.

    To become a Christian we must confess our sins to God and ask His forgiveness. We do *not* have the right to say I like that sin, so that part of the Bible is mistaken.

  • Dear Pathetic Observer -

    How do you know being gay is a choice? Even the bible doesn't say that. Ever heard of "science"? God invented it. To say nothing of the cumulative translation errors over 2000 years.

    Speaking of the bible, there is probably a quote "somewhere" in it to support ANY position you decide to take on ANY issue. Do you eat ham or sausage? Shrimp, crabs, or any other shellfish? Are you left-handed? Sorry, then, the bible says you're a sinner - and headed to hell.

  • How do you know being gay is a choice? Simple. It is behavior. Just like murdering someone is a choice, or raping someone. or are those people born that way as well?

    And you need to get an argument that hasn't been debunked for decades. The dietary laws were for the Israelites under the Law. Most all the creatures described as unclean in Leviticus 11 are still not eaten. And even at that time it was never a mortal sin to eat them.

    More than likely these meats are not good for our bodies.

  • So being left-handed is a choice? Now, you COULD use your right hand to do things, but you would "naturally" still be left-handed. Is having blue eyes a choice? I suppose you could pretend you had brown eyes, or even cover them up with brown contact lenses, but you'd still "naturally" be blue-eyed.

    Well, it's the same thing with being gay or straight. Your confusion seems to be distinguishing between chosen behavior and innate nature.

  • The Bible says nothing about blue eyes, you are making silly arguments.

    And we all have an innate sin nature, but we can choose not to sin.

  • "And the Lord said, thou shalt believe in the Bible and all it's verses forever, unless a few people say 'except for the parts we want to "debunk" since they don't make sense after a couple of thousand years, so we can ignore those parts', but woe unto thee who ignoreth the parts that support thine own ignorant points of view". So sayeth the Lord?

    I doubt it. I personally give more credit to God than to you and your "selective Bible-thumping".

    Thanks for making my point.

  • God does not change, and His Word endures forever. Those are the fundamentals. If someone doesn't want to believe them that is their choice. If someone doesn't want to follow them that is also their choice. But just like a person cannot eat meat and declare themselves a vegan, you cannot be gay and be a Christian.

    I support everyones right to live their own life. I would like for everyone to live forever in heaven, but if they choose not to believe that is their perogative.

  • This is tiring, PO - you're just not open to considering that others may have a valid point of view FOR THEMSELVES. You have your opinion of "the truth", but it's ONLY your opinion. Your beliefs are dictated by the bible? Fine for you, but may have no relevance to someone else. You say it's the word of God? Still just your opinion. Doesn't make others WRONG and damned to hell, just different from you. Enjoy your own beliefs, just don't claim others' beliefs are WRONG - you don't know.

  • I *do* know that others beliefs are wrong, because the Bible tells me so. You are free to accept that fact or reject it.

    I will live my life in accord with God's Word. If others want to live differently so be it. But I will not bend my moral convictions one iota to placate others sinful lifestyle choices. Marriage is a contract between a man and a woman, and always will be in God's eyes. And ultimately it is what He thinks that matters most.

  • Wow, your ease in ignoring facts in order to support your opinions is frightening. You "know" others are "wrong" because the bible tells you so? Because the bible is the word of God? How do you know that? Because the bible says so. And why is the bible ALWAYS right? Because it's the word of God. And how do you know? Because the bible says so. Yeah, circular reading is always a good defense.

    If it makes you feel better telling me I'm going to hell while you bask in ignorance, go for it.

  • The bible is clear on the matter of homosexuality.

    For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

    Romans 1:26-27 (KJV)

    I know the Bible is right because I have the Holy Spirit.

  • God's word endures forever? Except the part about pork and shellfish? If it's just Israelite Law, it's still in the Bible. Isn't the Bible the word of God? Most "Christians" claim it is. Then how can you "debunk" the word of God if it endures forever, unless it "endures forever" even though it's no longer valid.

    This gets to my point about choosing selected verses from the bible to justify your human opinion. Can you even see the contradictions here? Or are you blind to that as well?

  • I see you don't understand the difference beween the old testament and the new.

    I am not an Israelite, so that law does not apply to me. I cannot be more plain. If you are so fascinated with ancient shellfish commandments you would likely get a great answer from a Jewish scholar. It is a part of Jewish history.

    You cannot debunk God's Word, only misunderstand or misinterpret it.

  • And just how do you know YOU'RE not the one doing the misunderstanding or misinterpreting?

    It must be because you believe you're not. So we're right back to your opinions.

    Hmm .. let's leave it there.

  • Which part of this verse is open to misunderstanding or misinterpreting?

    For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another;

    Romans 1:26 (KJV)

    The meaning is plain. Why pretend differently? It makes you look ignorant.

  • A) "The natural use of the woman"?? So a woman is a possession created for man's pleasure? Typical attitude of 2000 years ago, I guess. But pretty ignorant in 2009.

    (B) Sounds more like adultery than homosexuality. Why don't we hear people like you ranting about adultery? Why not the passionate hatred toward adulterers? Sounds like selective condemnation - pretty ignorant.

    C) Your rules are yours, and mine are mine - your rules are not mine. If you can't see that, then who's ignorant?

  • A) You do not understand what the natural use of a woman is? I guess you believe the stork brings babies.

    B) Adultery, fornication, all sin is the same to God. The Bible says that rebellion is the same as witchcraft to God. If you know of some YT video that says adultery is not a sin I will be glad to respond there too.

    C) It is God's rules that concern me. You are free to disregard them, but I am also free to not only follow them, but it is my duty as a Christian to warn others of Hell.

  • A) Sarcasm is not an effective way to fulfill your duty as a Christian.

    B) Maybe room for discussion here. If "all sin is the same to God", which makes sense to me, then why are many so-called Christians so focused on gay-bashing? We hear very little from folks like Phelps or Wildmon or their ilk publicly condemning straight adulterers or couples having sex out of wedlock. Can you help me understand this inconsistency?

    C) I agree fully with your rights, just not your "self-righteousness".

  • C) A well known example of free speech comes to mind: If I were to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre, and there *was* a fire, would I be self-righteous for doing that? Or would I be better off just letting people enjoy the movie while it lasts? Or more importantly, would *they* be better off? I am willing to take the persecution, ridicule and angry curses because I don't want people to end up in hell.

  • PO - I really do respect your right to your beliefs, and your willingness to be persecuted and ridiculed shows your commitment to your faith, and I respect that, too, whether I agree with you or not.

    Thanks for the back and forth during the last few days. Whether we agree or not, I appreciate the discussion.

    From my perspective, I'll continue to live my gay Christian lifestyle without inconsistency, and from your perspective, you can consider me warned.

  • OK then, God bless you.

  • B2) If you look though history preachers have always been against adultery. In the 1960s when "free love" was the current sin in the spotlight there was plenty of talk about adultery and fornication. That ship has sailed, but at the time they were warned.

    Phelps is just an evil man misquoting scripture. God doesn't "hate fags", he loves them, just as He loves adulterers or any other sinners. But He wants us to stop sinning. Yes us. I am a sinner too. We are all sinners.

  • There is absolutely no parallel between adultery and homosexuality. Also, if homosexuality is so wrong, why is it that Paul is the ONLY one in the Bible to have anything to say about it, assuming the translations of his writings are correct (which is disputed)?

  • Sure there is, they are both sin. Homosexuality is condemned in both the old and new testaments.

    The bible is the Word of God, not parts of it, ALL OF IT. We don't need every writer to tell us homosexuality is a sin. People will go to great lengths to justify their sin, including bringing God's Word into question.

    If you don't believe the Bible is God's Word, guess what? You're not a Christian.

  • Eating shellfish is also condemned, so do you also speak out against Red Lobster? Women speaking in church is condemned, so do you think people like Joyce Meyer are trying to "justify their sin?"

    The Bible was not meant to be taken literally word for word, it was meant as a guide.

    Also, who are you to judge my salvation? You may try to act like you're God, but if YOU believe the Bible you'll know it says that belief in Jesus the path to salvation.

  • Shellfish is not condemned for Christians. That was an ancient law addressed specifically to the Israelites.

    Do try to form your own arguments, instead of regurgitating long debunked myths, will you?

    I am not your judge. God's Word judges you. I am simply pointing out what scripture says.

    All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

    2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)

    Ignore the Word, pay eternally.

  • If the verse about shellfish is voided then so is the one about homosexuality. Why do you ignore one and not the other?

    What are these "long debunked myths" (other than much of what people originally thought the Bible meant)?

    The Bible doesn't judge me, God judges me. You seem to think that the world is exactly the same as it was 2,000 years ago when Paul wrote to the Romans and the Corinthians.

    Also how do YOU think homosexuals should treat their sexuality?

  • The commandment against homosexuality is reiterated in the new testament.

    The long debunked myths are that Christians are forbidden to eat shellfish and other commandments from that section of the old testament addressed to Israelites and the Levite priests. Eating shellfish is probably not very good for us, they are scavengers that eat horrible stuff. Pigs as well.

  • If you're going to take the Bible literally then you can't just pick and choose what you want to follow. Why are there so many fat, lazy Christians when gluttony and sloth are severely condemned? Why are women allowed to teach men when it is prohibited in the Bible? Should there be no women ministers, because women are not allowed to speak in church?

    The Bible was written for a specific people and time, and although much of it is still applicable, much is not.

  • Comment removed

  • God destroyed two cities for homosexuality. It is an abomination to God, a grievous sin. To attempt to equate sodomy to sloth is the epitome of rationalization.

    Perhaps when you get your sodomy issue under control you can address those issues. Good luck.

  • The people of Sodom surely practised homosexuality long before its destruction, so if homosexuality was the main cause why wasn't it destroyed long before the story in the Bible takes place?

    Why is it ok to equate homosexuality to murder and rape but not ok to equate it to laziness and gluttony? Sin is sin right? Actually, gluttony and sloth are 2 of the "7 deadly sins," so maybe it's not.

  • For the same reason that God has allowed the practice of homosexuality for so long in this age. He is merciful. He is giving you time to repent. He does not take pleasure in punishing you for your sins.

    There is no such thing as "7 deadly sins". If you want to equate them that is your perogative. They certainly are not good. Just remember he didn't destroy any cities for sloth and gluttony. As I said before, If you have sloth and gluttony in your life I advise you to take care of it.

  • God has allowed homosexuality for thousands of years and he's still creating them today.

    I'd like you know why you believe fat, lazy Christians are ok but homosexuals are doomed to hell. And you never did tell me what you think about women teaching men or women speaking in church.

  • The world is exactly the same as far as God is concerned "there is nothing new under the sun" God is going to judge this country very soon for it's sins like homosexual marriage. If He doesn't, he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.

    According to the Bible homosexuality is a sin. If confessed to God as such and turned away from God will forgive ANY SIN, COMPLETELY, FOREVER! As a practicing Christian I believe the Bible.

  • The world must have changed for God to change his mind about shellfish and pork.

    It amazing that you think God will react severely to gays marrying when there are so many actual horrible things going on in the world. It seems like gays get the blame for all the bad things that happen.

    Contrary to your opinion, S&G wasn't destroyed because of homosexuality. The people there were not good and God drew the line at the attempted RAPE of two angels.

  • I don't know that God changed his mind about shellfish and pork, I know that it doesn't apply to me.

    God will react severely to all the sin in the world, not just homosexuality.

    Wrong. The men of Sodom attempted to SODOMIZE the angels. Where do you think we get the word sodomy from? Open the dictionary. You've really painted yourself into a corner now :)

  • If God will react to all the sin in the world, then why do you hold homosexuality out above all the rest? Because you want to make homosexuality seem as bad as possible, which is also why homophobes compare it to pedophilia and murder. Anything to create the illusion of there being something wrong with homosexuality where nothing wrong exists.

    They attempted to RAPE the angels.  They didn't say they wanted to take the angels out for drinks and dinner.

  • I don't hold it out any further, I am addressing it because that is the subject of this video.

    Once again, it is what God says that matters, not me. If you want to call God's Word homophobic that is your perogative.

    It was HOMOSEXUAL RAPE you silly twit. How far will you bend logic to justify your sin?

  • Genesis 19:8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

    Lot offered his own daughters to be raped specifically to avoid sodomy. In those days a father had the right to do that, sad but true. Lot would not have done it if it were a sin.

  • I call your interpretation of the Bible homophobic, prejudiced, and narrow-minded. I also believe you are a very bitter individual since you seem to take such great joy in trying to "one-up" me and calling me names.

    Ezekiel would disagree with you: "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen."

  • " I call your interpretation of the Bible homophobic, prejudiced, and narrow-minded. I also believe you are a very bitter individual since you seem to take such great joy in trying to "one-up" me and calling me names."

    Of course you do. Your ilk must resort to ad hominem when you are called on your poor grasp of spiritual truth, betraying your true motives. I'd expect nothing less.

    And of course you left out the next verse which also adds abomination to Sodom's list of sins... Typical

  • You come across as very defensive and bitter from your personal attacks against me. If I am wrong about you, please correct me.

    The next verse in the passage from Ezekiel talks about Samaria. Have you even read the passage? Do you know what "abomination" means?

    I hope that you will get to know actual gay people so that your stereotypical view of them can be challenged. We aren't rebels who choose some "lifestyle." We are regular people who happen to be solely attracted to the same sex.

  • Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

    Leviticus 18:22 (KJV)

  • And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you. Leviticus 11:10 (KJV)

  • Comment removed

  • That's right. It is forbidden. It is filth.

    Shellfish and other bottom feeders are unhealthy to eat. As are pigs. Same reason.

    The Hebrew word translated Abomination in Leviticus 11:10 (KJV) is slightly different from the same word in Leviticus 18:22 (KJV) .

    I suggest you get a Strong's concordance if you want to start arguing the meaning of words in the Bible.

  • And I suggest you show the same outrage against Red Lobster that you do against homosexuals. They even have Lobster (a shellfish) in their name! Personally I'm tired of them flaunting their sick shellfish eating lifestyle and trying to push it on the rest of us! I've even seen little children eating their shellfish!!

  • PropheticObserver - are you aware of how much contempt Jesus had for the Levites (authors of the Book of Leviticus), the Pharisees and other biblical literalists who used these old laws to cause misery and suffering? He sought to get rid of people like you and your teachings and to replace this hate with the command to love one another, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and to "Judge not lest you be judged". If Jesus returned today the Fundamentalists would crucify him again.

  • Ok, back at sunday school I was taught that angels are spirits with no physical body, how exactly does one attempt to sodomize what you can't touch?

  • Angels are spirits that can take a physical form.
