Deuteronomy 23:18 You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute into the house of the LORD your God to pay any vow, because the LORD your God detests them both.

wow so its seems to me like they twisting the scripture to make homosexuality ok...... abomination doesn't change it still means (a cause of hatred or disgust), to say God may have been gay would say that God himself is a hypocrite or is with SIN and we know that is not the truth, i guess theology school doesn't mean you have the SPIRIT of GOD, the HOLY SPIRIT

Yes I do. Maybe not that but regardless of what it is God is able to deliver.. i've cried many times wondering why I struggled with the things that I struggled with.The Key is this.. Trust God with your life and know that he would never be the one who planted anything wicked in you! The Devil is the one who has intended to confuse and destroy us with ungodly lifestyles or what some call the life..it's no more ordained of God for us than being a murderer. God is not the author of confusion!

I welcome you to read anywhere in the Bible where it says that any sin is acceptable in Gods eyes.Sin is Sin.if its not ok for me to murder, steal, or Covet its not ok to live life as an homosexual or lesbian~For you to say i'm judging is typical of someone who's very confused.Read Romans 1 then Keep reading Chapter 2 through Verse 6.Then Read 1 Cor 6:9-11 then Revelation 21:8, Then Read 1John 1:9-10.. Do your research please before you comment on these types of things. We all need to do right

@MoMing31 all i will say is this ... you are judging and you were Quoted in the Story as saying. And It's sad that people make inappropriate excuses for a sinful life. Here you Read The Ten Commandments Chapter 1.. All Ten Tablets
