Homosexuals are called by our Lord to celibacy.Without that,there is No common ground.

On the GCN site, Justin Lee not only gives his view that gay can be Christians AND have intimate lives, he also has reserved a section for the views of those who believe homosexuals are called by our Lord to celebacy. It's a good lesson in tolerance especially to those who spam the posts of others they personsally find objectionable to knock them off the main YT board. Fortunately it's a problem that can be remedied with just a couple of clicks. :)

Merry Christmas!!!

@clay56 dude u don't even make sense and ur making it even more complicated than it is

"man its really that simple, god created adam and eve not adam and steve..."

Advocacy for one orientation does not neccessarily mean prohibition for another.

"and he commanded them to be fruitful and multiply."

Six billion of our Lord's children populate His planet, in short, mission accomplished.

"if u disagree then u disobeyed god."

Colorfully phrased viewpoint. Yet it and our Lord's will are not neccessarily or entirely one and the same.

man its really that simple, god created adam and eve not adam and steve and he commanded them to be fruitful and multiply and can you do that being gay.....nope. if u disagree then u disobeyed god. THE END.

"It clearly states that homosexuality is a sin in the bible. Romans chapter 1 verse 26-32"

Paul was speaking of a group who had abandoned our Lord and were participating in a pegan ceremony. If they had been UNmarried and engaged in heterosexual acts would the recording of the event be exploited to condemn all heterosexuals, even husbands and wives? It's a tragic double standard TOO many have of the orientations.

This is so messed up. What is this world coming to? It clearly states that homosexuality is a sin in the bible. Romans chapter 1 verse 26-32. You can't ignore certain places in the bible and only follow the ones that you like.

@clay56 I actually listento GCN radio for a variety of reasons and was sad to hear Brian had passed away, seemed like a really good person.

[clay56]

Here's hoping Justin Lee gets the radio show on his site back up and going soon!

@jacobbubble2 In either event, the god of abraham is 100% false. There is nobody that has ever lived on the planet Earth that can tell you anymore about the unknowable then you, or me, or a priest, or a scientist for that matter. Nobody knows. Any guess is simply speculation.
