    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    I asked because I wanted to know your perspective. You're entitled to have an opinion on the subject even if I disagree. I wanted to know what boundaries you feel should be placed on homosexuals. It would help me understand your values better. Example,should an (unmarried) homosexual couples be...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    Foreigner, From your Christian perspective what rights\freedoms should apply to LGBT individuals, and what additional limits should be placed on them? Obviously you believe they should not be allowed to get married. What about children, do you feel LGBT couples should have the legal right to...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    Sometimes Christians agree, sometimes they don't. Its normal and common. Its better to discuss\debate what Aspen has stated rather than suggest he is not a Christian for stating his religious perspective.

    The US Supreme court just heard two cases on marriage.The State of California ban on gay marriage, and there federal policy that gay "married" couples can not receive federal benefits (ie Health insurance). In both cases, the US government has chosen not to defend those laws. Its is expected...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    Well I know some Christians don't want gays teaching in schools because they teach children how to become gay, which is widely believed to be part of the gay secret agenda to increase the gay population through recruitment and brainwashing.

    What if the US Government and Laws were originally rooted from The Scriptures

    This is the closest to what I was getting at in terms of a government lead and controlled by Christians where the bible is the final word in all cases. Clearly there would be laws against adultery and those who committed adultery would be punished. Homosexuality would be against the law, and...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Rex, When I respond to a person, I am responding to a specific person. I do not make assumptions that others agree or disagree with you. I know there are others that understand the points I've been making, but do not want to enter this discussion, so its not like I am the only one in this forum...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    God does not disagree with me, you do, and that's OK. Supporting friends, family, and co-workers is a Christian thing to do even when other Christians do not agree.

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Rex, what you're suggesting is that Christians who disagree with your religious beleifs are not welcome. Christians that support friends, family, and co-workers is what is good in Christianity. I do not condemn anyone, and do not believe as a Christian, that God is concerned with the sex lives...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    I agree that this is your religious belief, but not all Christians believe that Homosexuality is bad and\or is immoral. Christians do not agree on everything, and this topic is no different. If I as a Christian I choose to believe that homosexuality is acceptable, then that is between God and I...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Following the word of God requires personal interpretation of The Scriptures, and no two people can agree even remotely close, which explains why many Christians churches openly accept LGBT, and many don't. Its a matter how anyone chooses to interpret the bible. You likely would say such...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    People can be tolerate and respectful towards each other, yet not agree; its well known that Christians frequently do not agree with each other, so disagreement is nothing usual. Example, many Christian churches openly accept LGBT, and do not condemn them, while clearly other Christian churches...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    For a number of years I lived in a rural Christian community. One thing all gays people knew at that time was never ever reveal their sexual preference because those that did, were unmercifully harassed (ie at school). There were a couple of families that moved away because they had a gay member...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    What you describe is an overstatement of public policy and not accurate, nobody is forced to be taught anything in regards to sexual orientation. What is taught in public schools is tolerance for others. Which, in the multi-culture societies, works effectively because history shows that...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Yes attempts to link sex crimes against children to homosexuality is a strong indication that the person is at the very least extremely misinformed and\or wants to justify his contempt by suggesting homosexuals prey on children. Really not all that different than a few decades ago with the myths...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Whenever discussing\debating sexual orientation issues such as homosexuality, there is always someone who compares homosexuality to the raping of children. What two consenting adults do in private is between them, and God. Its really is nobody else business. Crimes against children have no...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Justin, your compassion for people is obvious and it is something I respect and admire. You clearly want people to live fulling lives to the best of their ability, and you want to help them as much as you can. We just simply disagree on the issue, and that is OK with me. I have encountered...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Justin, Just seeing the word "Satanic" conjures up imagines of sexual vampires who go out after dark looking for victims. As a myth, it ranks right up there with masturbation makes people go blind. Of all the people I've met, I never met any that were Satanic. The only people I've known to...
