There was never a scripture that said homosexuality was wrong and you'd go to hell, either. There is NOWHERE in the Bible that specifically states that. Even if you read between the lines.

allen, Jess stated earlier from Corinthians (a part of the New Testament) a verse or maybe two about homosexuality, and how acting upon it is a sin. If Scripture specifically stated everything that was a sin, that's all it would be about. Instead, it's about turning your life around and living for God. It is your choice to be forgiven or not. It is your choice to accept what God has for you. Your choice to pick up your mat and walk. But you know this and have continued to walk around in corruption. Fine with me, I won't judge you if you don't think I'm some Bible-thumper. lol I love God and I love His Word, but I'm definitely not all in the Book like I should be.
EDIT: Romans 1:13 is specifically about homosexuality. Flip.

Lots of phrases seem to make their way "into" the Bible but aren't apart of it at all, so please quote directly.

Hey Errick.  Long time no see.
I am curious about something, I dunno if you are the right person to ask, but I wonder, lets look at this thing from that viewpoint where we see that acting upon homosexuality is a sin. What are they supposed to do with it then? | |

There IS a passage in the Bible that says that laying with a man like you will a woman will result in burning in hell. I will post it later on, but I'm unable to get to my Bible right now. So I guess they are supposed to just deny their feelings and live a lie.
Thats where I have real issue with the Bible. I don't believe homosexuality is a corruption...if homosexuality is a corruption, then so is hetrosexuality...do you know that looking at a women with lust is just as much a sin? So all you Bible thumpers , can you HONESTLY say you've never looked at a woman with lust?? That you dont look at porn? That you've never imagined doing things in a sexual nature to a woman. Cause if you have, well...thats just as much of a 'corruption' in God's eyes.
I still think that God's intention is not that homosexuals are evil. GOD DID NOT WRITE THE BIBLE. MEN DID. There is room for error in it...I don't know why people won't accept this. It says in the Bible that women are below men and should listen to men...times change, cause I sure as hell don't accept that, and if that makes me not a Christian, oh well. I have my own little brand of spirituality I guess. | |

| So either way, God would be forcing sin upon your life? Interesting sentence there, very VERY interesting but very true.
But hey look y'all, I'm walking around corrupted according to God's son, Errick. Isn't that spectacular? Man. It's great that who I am is nothing but corrupted, and everyone else who has felt the same way as me is corrupted to. I'm touched, Errick. Truly touched. Bless your judgemental ignorance.

And if what you're saying is true, then being gay is not a sin at all. Having gay sex, on the other hand, would be. And that would be because you are wasting sperm, etc. Now, if that's the case, masturbating is a sin as well, and therefore gays are at no more of a fault than any human being. | I told you a million times.. God doesnt have to do with every single bad thingsthat happens on this earth. The devil has infulance too. You blame everything on God. That seems to be the problem for you. You blame everything on God. When most of the time they can be ur personal problems too. | |

You think every single thing is gods fault.. when its not.. and then you insult him. Maybe if you chose to be a little more religious.. you could have a better life. You always seem to be shuting god out of your way. You nor, I, are suppirior than God. So stop acting like you are. And BTW, God is your creater. Show a little respect.. instead of blurting out rude things infront of people who do like him..  sheesh | |

I think alot of people need to use the edit button. 
Anyway, Jess, I have a question for you. If some of the Bible has room for error, how can you distinguish between what's right and what's wrong?
Secondly, this is just a question. If God died to forgive your sins, and you say that being with a man is a sin, wouldn't God forgive you anyways?
Wow, Allen, that is one nice post right there!  | |
