Christianity and Homosexuality

Hypocrisy is generally a reason to write someone off, is it not?

 

You would do better to focus on Christ's interpretation of the Old Testament, as if He ever cast any aspersions on it, the New Testament does not so testify.

 

Not that Im aware of. If you're referring to Sodom and Gamorrah:
"Sodom and Gomorrah have been used historically and today as metaphors for vice and homosexuality, although a close reading of the text and other Ancient Near Eastern sources suggest that this association may be incorrect.[7]"

How closely have you read the tales of those cities? Homosexuality was certainly cited as popular, but it was hardly the only thing going on.

 

Can you imagine Jesus wearing such a costume??

 

According to the Bible Christians are supposed to expel the evil ones from their midst. They shouldn't even eat with such people. Of course if they followed that standard the Catholic churches would be empty because of the evil priests.

 

According to the Bible there are no marriages in heaven so why do you need a gender? You'll just be like paint on the wall.

 

Pope Benedict is not helping when he blames the sexual revolution of the 1960's for the abuse crisis among the clergy. His words:

"I still remember seeing, as I was walking through the city of Regensburg one day, crowds of people lining up in front of a large cinema, something we had previously only seen in times of war, when some special allocation was to be hoped for. I also remember arriving in the city on Good Friday in the year 1970 and seeing all the billboards plastered up with a large poster of two completely naked people in a close embrace.

Among the freedoms that the Revolution of 1968 sought to fight for was this all-out sexual freedom, one which no longer conceded any norms.

The mental collapse was also linked to a propensity for violence. That is why sex films were no longer allowed on airplanes because violence would break out among the small community of passengers. And since the clothing of that time equally provoked aggression, school principals also made attempts at introducing school uniforms with a view to facilitating a climate of learning."

How did I miss those in-flight "sex films"?

You have to do your part by seeking God.

 

Actually this has been well known for years, and not just by Catholics.

 

"Well Known" implies more people than just you and the pope.

 

Well since god created man and woman it must also have created homosexuality. The stupidity that homosexuality is a choice has long been debunked and now only remains in the minds of the haters.

 

We will be a gender, Jesus' resurrected body was male, just as in His brief earthly life.

 

No He didn't, that happened in the Fall, like cancer.

LOL, the VAST majority of Christians reject the sodomite agenda, and yes, homosexual behavior is a choice, just like getting drunk is a choice for those with a tendency to drink, science even says some are born that way.

Do pedophiles have a choice to do their thing, and can they change?

 

Nonsense, Trump changed the rules of engagement which led to a today, almost complete victory.

 

The Christian Holy Bible isn't the ONLY religious guideline available to us--nor is it the best.

 

Our souls are pure conscious energy--no atomic matter whatsoever--and are genderless, but since they experience gender while in the body, they can exhibit male or female personality traits in spirit as they choose.

 

You have in mind a better guide to Christianity?

Bet such authoritative tones get the girls all warm & runny, eh?

And a soul in a male body would choose to exhibit female personality traits because...?

 

Are you defending Leviticus law?

 

Are you really going to suggest you know the limits of what a "soul" might do?

And, that your answer here is so strong that all physical evidence to the contrary should be discarded?

 

I see that you are unable to stand by this. I guess my questioning was sufficient!

 

In relationships?

 

No, cd8ed has a strong point and you're just plain dodging.

Read https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew 25&version=KJV from verse 31 to end.

Jesus is incredibly direct about what he states that his followers must do. And, not in just that chapter. He demonstrated this himself, caring for strangers, giving aid to prostitutes.

And, he is explicit about what his followers face when they fail in following this direction:

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:


How much clearer does it have to get??

 

If you can’t take a few moments to read my source there is no reason to continue

 

I responded to it in the other thread. Perhaps you missed it. Here it is:

Using a German word? Surely you can't be serious!
