I don't understand why the gay christian guy doesn't face to the truth in the bible.

Surely he can't be that stupid. I suspect he's basically scared that his precious beliefs want him dead. All he wants to do is crash the party.

The gay man is a lier because he mentions the verses but doesn't mention the truth what Paul said. Please don't try to look like a sheep while you know what is right.

4:20 Intersting how applicable Paul's words are. I mean the words found in the 2 verses right before the one he chose to read.

(2 Timothy 4:3, 4) "For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; & they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories." SEE ALSO PAUL'S WORDS @ Romans 1:26, 27!!

2:04 "the word 'homosexual' didnt even exist"

Thats why Bibles that use it are misleading. The original Koine Greek language is read this way:

1 Timothy 1:10 fornicators, MEN WHO LIE WITH MALES, kidnappers, liars, false swearers...

Leviticus 20:13 When a MAN LIES DOWN WITH A MALE the same as one lies down with a woman, both of them have done a detestable thing...

1 Corinthians 6:9,10 Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers...nor MEN WHO LIE WITH MEN...will inherit God’s kingdom.

@The27thS Being gay is not a sin! Loving someone is not a sin.

[Ranokian]

@qbano49 The Bible contains so many truths.. Who is without sin casts the first stone, and we are all sinners... So essentially, its just like a supermarket. Pick what ever you want.

[The27thS]

If all people who are "saved" continue sinning what does it matter what a homosexual Christian does? The only implications of homosexuality are theological and it would appear the sacrifice is sufficient to solve any potential problems homosexual love might pose.

@qbano49 here's my response to your question, it is not the matter of stupidity but of deception, the wisest person on earth can still be decieved if he is not closely aquainted with the revelation power of the spirit of God. without God's spirit, at worst the bible won't make since at all and at best we come up with our own expaination of what it is saying.

[forestskog]

I'm an atheist but I have read the bible cover to cover. Anyone with even a shred of honesty understands that the bible says homosexuality as absolutely, totally forbidden. It shows again the maddening tendency of religious people to custom-tailor their boble/koran/torah to whatever they want it to be. Yet another reason to abandon all of these obviously made-up fairy tales anyway.

@Therite56 a big time liar,not a man enought to face the truth,but im gonna tell u the truth u wrong

[LaMOi1]

What about Pauls calling same sex relations 'unatural'...... The guy doesnt even go there? But hey ho - this guy is unwilling like so many of us, to give Jesus ... EVERYTHING.
