What the Bible Says - And Doesn't Say - About Homosexuality

"It is far too simplistic to say that the scripture condemns homosexuality"

Over the centuries people who misunderstood or misinterpreted the Bible have done terrible things. Reverend Dr. Neil G Thomas is talking to us about: What the Bible Says - And Doesn't Say - About Homosexuality, Jesus, the Old and New Testament and Love.

I second that!

@adamsochLA "Homosexuality is justified by nature." - Nature allows children to be born deformed and with heart defects. Is that acceptable too? Just becuase we "may" be born a certain way doesnt make it ok.

Also, dont confuse love with lust. There is no sin in two men "loving" each other, there is in lust/sex.

[adamsochLA]

@MrMaxTruth --Homosexuality is justified by nature. It is very simple: IT IS NOT A CHOICE. Any straight person will tell you. JUST TRY IT. If you are STRAIGHT, be GAY for 1 hour, a day or a month. I guaranty it: NO WAY JOSE, you can't. You might experience gay sex, but you are NOT gay. Any gay person will tell you they are gay since they can remember. So let them be. Why should it bother anyone Who Loves Who, as long as it is LOVE. Hate is what you should worry about.

For there are some eunuchs which were so born from their mother's womb-persons constitutionally either incapable of or indisposed to marriage. It has nothing to do with homosexuality and is a perversion to justify homosexualty by mistranslation.

@adamsochLA You are quite correct , the bible does contain some pretty horrific stories , all of which details what happens when man sins. The story and crusifixion of Jesus is the most horrific , no one ever said the Bible was a book of pretty flowers and sweet poems.

@MrMaxTruth -- The Constitution of the United States is the law of the land. You should continue in your bible study. There are stories there about incest, the needless butchery of men, women and children as prisoners of war, lust, fornication, the abuse of slaves and women, and the word democracy doesn't occur anywhere. So there's lots for you to enjoy.

JESUS CONFIRMS HOMOSEXUALITY AS A SIN

Jesus doesn't mention homosexuality in the gospels its true. That doesnt mean he condones homosexuality just because he doesn't mention it.Jesus doesnt say anything about rape either - does that mean rape is ok? of course not. But he DOES confirm homosexualty is a sin indirectly by confirming the Old Testament law

."Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law - not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law." Matt 5.17

Good men do good stuff and bad men do bad stuff. For good men to do bad we need then to read the bible and get religous.

[adamsochLA]

@coomadoug Well said! Simple, Elegant and True.

The bible says we must be stoned to death for collecting wood on Sunday.

if you read that in a modern day text on expected behaviours ect. you would chuck it in the bin right.

So why is an inteligent man like you, bothering to debate such junk
