This is not a reason, or a justifiction. It is just negative thinking without reason, or justification. In other words, prejudice.

You will stand before the Lord and will be condemned for having this attitude towards his word.

Repent before it’s too late.

Compare sexuality to the mandate to to have dominion over all the Earth. Yet, there are laws against animal abuse and those on the political Left use this as a basis for Earth day and 'saving the planet,' which implies we can use our power of dominion in ways inconsistent with our mandate. So it is with sexuality. It is very, VERY easy to understand why homosexuality is a sin for it is at the same level as murder. One acts takes a life. The other act fails to produce life.

Plenty of heterosexual acts fail to produce life. And just as well, for it seems there are quite enough of us, already.

Best wishes, 2RM.

So, we will all stand before the Lord to account for ourselves. Whether I will be condemned, for loving my fellow man, or you will be, for hating him, we shall discover in due course.

Best wishes, 2RM.

I don’t hate anyone.

But:

“Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.” (Leviticus 19:17)

You have been rebuked.

In love. :stageright:

You’re rebuking me for my admonition of your dismissive attitude towards scripture?

That’s rich! :jest:

I don't dismiss scripture. There is plenty of wisdom in it. But I do think we have the right to ask ourselves the question: Is this writing, many thousand years old, relevant to my life, here and now?

Best wishes, 2RM.

My understanding of God's attitude is that, heterosexual or homosexual, he accepts and loves us all.

What have you been reading that put this nonsense into your head?

The Bible is clear:

“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22)

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

“The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.” (Psalms 11:5)

I am not wrong. I can only conclude that the Bible is. Or does thinking for yourself strike fear into your soul?

Best wishes, 2RM.

Yes, it is a justification and reason. Sin is action against God's will.

Romans 1:26-27 directly says homosexuality goes against the God given natural use for our sexuality. Odin punished Thor for going against his will and the punishment was to take back the hammer. In Christianity, the punishment for going against God's will is more dramatic, death.

Oh, c'mon. The bible says that God wills this or that, and the bible is true because the bible says it is true. Surely you can do better that?

Complete rubbish. Do you really think that God, who allegedly loves us all, would commit any one of us to eternal torment?

Best wishes, 2RM.
IF JESUS says it will happen , AND HE DID , then we ought to simply believe what JESUS taught and not what our own minds
try and concieve GOD to be . Too many folks are omitting the severity side of GOD . THEY WONT POINT to CHRIST either .
The only goodness they know about GOD is a false goodness . ITS a goodness that no longer leads folks to repentance
of sins but rather to acceptance of sins . Too many are making god out to be a god of their own minds invention .
We cannot have it both ways . I cant come claiming eternal life is real and then turn around and try and make it seem
like eternal damnation is just a thought . THEY ARE BOTH REAL my friend .
AND KNOWING that , I SAY ITS TIME TO POINT TO CHRIST . Cause if one is truly HIS they wont have to worry about the OTHER PLACE .
BUT IF we invent a GOD that is just gonna give all access to eternal life through their own path . WE ARE LYING to ourselves and to them too .
The SEVERITY OF GOD is every BIT as real as THE GOODNESS of GOD . We must get busy learning those bibles .
Giving folks false hope is not love at all , it leads them not to Christ , not to eternal life and paradise with him
IT LEADS FOLKS TO HELLS FIRE . WHICH IS VERY REAL INDEED .
AS i said you cant pick and choose . IF ETERNAL LIFE IS REAL , AND IT IS , SO IS THE VERY ETERNAL DAMNATION that the SAME
JESUS and SAME GOD warned about . KNOWING THEREFORE the TERROR OF GOD we ought to persaude folks
to repent and to believe in CHRIST . AND never point them to a jesus that accepts sin and calls sin good and etc
CAUSE YOU JUST pointed them to satan . ONLY HE would do that and only his version of love does such a thing .
STOP allowing homosexuals to feel saved as they are . THAT AINT LOVE , ITS MURDER and its hate .
IF YOU LOVE THEM , POINT THEM TO CHRIST and correct the brethren and allow not sin upon them .

This is not a reason, or a justification. It is just negative thinking without reason, or justification. In other words, prejudice. If I were in any way so inclined, I would be tempted to sleep with a man just so that, cometh the end of days, we should know which of us was right.

Best wishes, 2RM.
Cant pick and choose . IF i were to say you ought not to murder you would have no problem with that .
SO why then do you have such a problem when another quoates the truth about same sex . YOU are picking and choosing
what to follow . A true lamb dont do that . GOD has changed its heart .
IT no longer even desires the evils of its own flesh . Nor does it agree with the sins of others either .
YOU are the one who through a mind that has not been transformed to the things of GOD are trying so hard to figure out
that which you cannot figure out . YE have not submitted unto GOD .
I can see this very clearly in the way you WILLFULLY defend sins , try and omit other things in that bible
that GOD HIMSELF inspired . Whether you know this or not , You are treating GOD as though HE is your enemy .
You are hating things He himself has inspired through men . You are picking and choosing
a GOD that best suits your own desires . The god of self is one hungry monster
and it cannot recieve the things of GOD . You must repent of this and learn CHRIST . Before its forever too late .
