Part 2

... Indeed you have in your haste judged them falsely on His behalf.

Oh, did you ever find my postings regarding 1 Corinthians 6:9?

@clay56 Dude, if you want to be gay...go for it! You are the only one that has to stand in front of Jesus on judgement day. You dont have to prove to me that homosexuality is NOT a sin! Thats something you have to prove to God!

Part 2

...Protestants just as they probably were by the Pharisees to condemn the first Christians, much to the discredit and disgrace of both.

"...you refuse to even CONSIDER the option of renewing your mind through the WOrd of God!"

Once more...

Your view... His Word... NOT neccessarily or entirely one and the same.

"...I am not trying to play debate games."

You're not even actually trying to debate. You'd have to read the other person's ENTIRE posts to do so. You obviously... (Cont.)

Part 3

...HAVEN'T done this simple thing since you've now twice stated I was attributing 1 Cor. 6:9 to pegan ritual when I stated an entirely different problem you and many other gay Christian opponents have with it, even after I TWICE pointed our your mistake the first time. This make's it pretty obvious your responding in haste and impulse, resulting in some rather foolish postings. So then, why don't you try once more to find my posts on the passage THEN get back to me.

",,,the bible does speak about men laying with men in the new and Old Testament and how it is sin...."

So you NOW drift into Mosaic Law to bolster the case you're having too much trouble making with the NT alone? The same Law calls a virgin refusing to marry the man impregnating her through an act of rape a sin as well. It's but ONE reason why it's application now is HIGHLY problematic at best. And nowhere in the Gospels did Christ speak to same gender relations. It... (Cont.)

Part 2

...Sadly does not keep gay Christian opponents from misusing His teachings to make it appear as if He did, resulting in problems regarding the Nineth Commandment which He upheld in Matt. 19:18. And many of those who use words like "twist," "distort" and "apostacy" to condemn dissenting views have tragically sealed their hearts and minds off to ANY possibility of their view and our Lord's will being anything OTHER than one and the same.

He said love your neighbor...and dont judge unless thy be judge. But no where in the bible did it say bein a gay is a gift from GOD!!! it do speak bad about the sodemites though:)

Catholics... They change what the REAL Bible says... Check this out... This is what it says in the REAL HOLY BIBLE

Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them."

Why don't you read your bible properly?

@clay56 There is no reference in the bible of Gay Christians. That is a term that you and your pro gays have MADE UP! However, the bible does speak about men laying with men in the new and Old Testament and how it is sin. So u can assume that it is not talking about you because you call yourself a Christian, but Jesus says that if you love him you will keep His commandments and not twist it with apostasy so it can fit into your current psychological state. Especially when Paul is very specific,
