Homosexuality *is* a choice.

[racrguy]

Here we go with this horseshit again.

Another thing. Why are some people left handed? Did you choose to be left handed?

anyone?

Accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour, that's it.

So why do so many Christians seem so upset about the homosex's

Because they listen to pastors and rarely check what they say vs. the bible.

Many seem to cherry-pick the Bible just like many on this forum do. Could be too that many see the push for same-sex marriage as a secular violation of something holy.

so it's ok for preachers to be gay, but not others?

Ted Haggard approves this message (and would like to suck meth out of your sinner's asshole!)

Many preachers are not gay. Did you mean priests?

That does seem to happen all too often. Pastors that think homosexuals should just be fenced off so they all eventually die off ignore the realities of the situation as well as the message Christ delivered to us all. Frankly the pastor that said that should have been canned.. but he wasn't.

The Episcopalians and Presbyterians don't generally have a problem with it..

We're in the age of the megachurch, the bible doesn't matter as much as the branding, the pump up, the feel good messages, the cultures that are manufactured and so forth, they find hot button issues to rally support and ignore the love of Christ that it should be about.

Christ hung out with pimps, drug dealers, tax collectors and the scourge of society? You need to be the elite to lead one of these churches, dress, drive, live the part of a baller, because people need to look up to these figures (or whatever it is that they need to tell themselves). Gays, are just an issue that these preachers can circle around, grow hatred, increase giving and pad their pockets - they don't give a rat's ass about anyone in their "flock"....well, other than the top line givers.

Some demoninations will adapt to the world in which they find themselves.

.BTW, I simply consider this an academic discussion. Even as a Christian, I want us to love everyone as Christ did and taught us to do. I think a lot of the debate against homosexuals has been nothing more than an excuse to hate them. Most Christians may not be as bad as Westboro Baptist but that hate is definitely there and is not Christ like by any stretch.

agreed on all counts. It really sucks that those people are what the face of christianity has become/is becoming.

As I understand it, the fabric law pertained to the priesthood, but I could be mistaken. Homosexuality has always been sin, period.

If you're living in the time the OT was written, yes. Thankfully, Levitical law isn't applicable since Jesus' birth, death and resurrection. He fulfilled the old law.


So are you saying homosexuality is still a sin? I thought after Jesus' birth, death, and resurrection the levitical laws werent applicable.

Most churches teach law, teaching that people were freed from the law and only have to seek Christ hampers membership efforts.
