You cannot believe the words you write; homosexuality most certainly is a behavior.

A very pedantic and long, 15-paragraph long, post. Not sure if you answered the basic question of whether the Bible identifies homosexuality as a sin. Please answer?

Huh? Evil was exactly present in the Garden of Eden. How can you even say that? Original Sin did not happen outside the garden.

Stop hijacking this thread! This thread is not about doctrinal debate, including what it means to be Born Again! You did not answer any of the questions in the OP. You answer those questions and I'll be sure to avoid the other thread you keep pushing.

Did I now? I also mentioned questions to non-JW in the OP. You seem scared to answer those questions and prefer to divert to any other topic.

The CEV Translation puts it nicely. 12 The king asked, “Friend, why didn't you wear proper clothes for the wedding?” But the guest had no excuse. It's not about the clothing but honoring God. I've said it for a long time now, lip service will not breach the gates of heaven.

"We" in this thread are talking about the questions in the OP for non-JW's. What are you scared of?

Orientation is not the point of this thread. All sinners have orientation to all kinds of sin. Rapists and murderers have orientation. Doesn't make raping and murdering right. "Orientation" is not some kind of get out of jail free card.

Not really an answer to the 3 questions in the OP, is it?

I enjoy how they ignore such verses and immediately respond with ... Yabut these other verses ...

Hmmm. I'm not sure such extreme eisegesis even limits itself to actual implications. They are content that the words COULD be taken to support their doctrine, while at the very same time: Deny explicit Scripture that contradicts their doctrine. Ignore many more implications from Scripture that...

Some might consider these verses indicate both John and Jesus are witnesses of Jehovah God. The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him … made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,2 who bore witness to the word of God … 5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the...

Great and concise question! An even better question in this thread is how come none of the non-JW’s even attempted to answer the questions in the OP?

I guess we are making different points. ;)

I reject the idea that all sin is equal for this is the error of over-generalization. Sure, all sin is sin but there is ample evidence in Scripture of ranking severity. Consider Ex 22. And in the NT, we are told we will be paid for our work, implying another graduated (non-equal) schedule...

Arthur, welcome to CyB. You certain seem knowledgeable. But my simple question is do you agree that homosexuality is a sin? @Arthur81, isnt' Lev 18:22-30 an explicit statement of Scripture condemning homosexuality? Hmmm. I'm a little disappointed with this rhetoric since @TLHKAJ did share...

Agreed. That is exactly what you are doing.

Huh? Those who sexually abuse children are that minority! :mad:

Hmmm. What does your Bible say? I will bless those who bless you (the great nation God made of Israel), but I will put a curse on anyone who puts a curse on you. Everyone on earth will be blessed because of you. (emphasis added for clarification) GE 12:3

You got some kind of fetish going on there. We are required to love one another, man and woman. Love one another does not mean have sex with every fellow you meet, man or woman! Love does not mean sex. You obviously know that.
