Sadly they are promoted nowadays and that's the real problem with society nowadays. not only that but the issue is Taboo ?

So when I talk about one type or another and others ? You get a narrow minded short sighted dimwit that can not discriminate between the ones who are not a problem and the ones who truly out of control and as depraved as they can come.
You know charley who is just a boy who has not grown up type and has an obsession with dickybirds etc etc he would not want to try harm anyone.
But then again on the other side of the coin Oh boy ! that can become so depraved deranged ! but the majority are totally ignorant of such.
The MSM hide all that side full on ! it's Taboo.
They are Satanic ! that's a fact and they wallow in it.
One mate who has been married to 2 woman and now is Gay, well I had not seen him for years and dropped in on my way home 4 HR drive and he and his Gay mate came out digging out a stupid cross that they had made themselves for a joke and carried on like a fruit loop. but I was not bothered with such a stunt and they just gave up the ghost. I do not like his mate thou at all, but very smart bloke but depraved and possessed totally by evil. talking about malice with others all the time.
Not to mention in the Gay community their is hellfire hatred to others within. it's like a Hate club ! it's like Hate hate hate, hate hate hate, Loth entirely ! double Hate ! hate hate hate !

So no wonder we see such total nonsense on TV MSM of hate crime being directed towards Gays ? Such as the MSM are full of Gays and obsessed fruit loops barking up the wrong tree.

That's what I have seen in my life is such Gay people are obsessed and so full of hate and malice 24/7.
A mates mother in law who we get on with real well, she has a lot of Gay friends who come over her place at times and, so she moved to a unit and a Gay lived next door, well you would never thing that she would be a war with such a one, but yep ! this nut next door oh boy what a nut case, you know what I think they go looking for conflict.
Yes I've noticed that, and especially the women, I stay away from those people, I don't even want to look at them, they are all Satanic as are the ones who support and embrace them, and the worst part now they are getting children involved, you cannot be Christian and love these people, at least the Muslims for all their wrong, have the right idea.

I was in the army and had a gay roommate for over a year. No drama. I think maybe you just have no idea what you’re talking about. Perhaps you’re just a person who offends gay people and so you get treated badly.

I see a whole lot of red neck bigotry spewing from many post. Makes me wonder if the KKK is still alive & active !

Do you ppl hate other ethnicities also?

Sin brings death, to be separated from God forever unless one repents, confesses and turns from their sin. Never ever did Jesus say to someone taken in sin, I forgive you , now carry on as you were before. NO, he said go AND SIN NO MORE!

Do ppl think Jesus didn't see the men lovers of men or the effeminate in his day ? Come on ppl. I had a person from a " church" tell me that King David and Jonathon had was the same kind of love as the abdominal kind.......pigs snout..... no it was not !

Some responses do make me wonder why ppl are so homophobic, it's not contagious......lol
I would judge it this way and please think before you start spouting out you snouts,
Jesus said a mark of pure love is when a man will lay down his life for another !
Now mind you, I'm fairly sure of some's answer but HOW FILTHY OR HOW CLEAN WERE YOU WHEN THE SAVIOUR LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR YOUR SINS ???????
I agree there is a lot of dumb bigotry in here. The threads are full of terrible humans that are not reflecting Christ at all.

also I’m pretty sure the subtext was there with David. My main issue with David was that he was a rapist. Now I believe he repented. But it’a a stain on his legacy. A rapist who had his victim’s husband killed.

Lol, Red Neck hatred, I’m from North Jersey East Coast, seems like you’re the bigot using words like Red Neck, do you love homosexuals and their abominations towards God? If you do you’re in league with them and their Master, and not a true Christian. Ever read book of Leviticus?

Christ would not embrace a homosexual he would tell them to abstain, go and sin no more.

I live in the deep South, so yes I can recognize a REDNECK!.
I have no bigotry, bias or racism in my heart ppl that are redeemed are my family all others regardless of their sins are souls waiting to be convinced Jesus loves and died for them.
I despise a child abuser and a child murderer
much more than person in the hold of sexual sins!
I wonder what your sin is, not the one we see for all your false professions but the one you keep hidden ! What comes out of your mouth,Jesus said comes out of your heart. I'm pretty sure they do not want to be around you and your ugliness either. YOU MIGHT TAINT THEM, instead of the other way round.

WHO gave you the right to call anyone " NOT A CHRISTIAN"?........WE ARE DONE ( IGNORE)

Yet for all his sin David was a man after God's own heart and repented readily with a broken spirit and a contrite heart. God would NOT have tolerated David to be King nor a mighty warrior had he had that kind of love for Jonathan. So no subtext indicates such bafoonery in saying so !

Is it a sin to not embrace homosexuality and all it’s related filth? I think not, I also detest pedophiles, rapists and murderers, lol I never said I was without sin, but not mortal sin such as the ones you’ve mentioned.

I have every right as a God fearing Christian to not accept what is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord and to call out those who do.

Apparently you don't believe that when Jesus said to "love your neighbor" he included you. Bigotry and hatred are incompatible with the teachings of Christ.

Why don't you try reading the first chapter of Romans and crusade against all those sins that are listed? Why single out just one behavior?

I strongly suggest that you read the parable of the good Samaritan? Samaritans were detested by the Jews, yet Jesus cited Him as the prime example of loving your neighbor. And don't miss the fact that the injured man was ignored by two Jews who were leaving the holy city!

Drop your self-righteous hatred and you (and everyone else) will be better off for it.

I said that I have a mate who became Gay ! I did not dismiss him ! he is still a friend ?
I believe that he is possessed !
Look he is a good bloke but he has problems.
Look he attacks me for defending Christ Jesus and so does his smart mate, but they do not know what they are talking about in fact, they are mistaking religion for Christ Jesus.

Now as to you, it looks like you are mistaking Christ Jesus for your own religion as well.

I do not encourage anyone who walks any depraved path. as I know such a path is not of the Light but darkness in fact. but if I can guide one gently back on to the true path.

Anyone who try's to justify Sodomites is going to Hell. why because one is of the darkness ? and does not like the Light, so they push the darkness, that's their own religion.

But you are saying go and Sin some more ? in fact.

A red neck ?
Bigotry ?
KKK ?
Homophobic ?
All 4 have nothing to do with a Christians.

Homophobic is a word that has changed 180 deg, that being a work of the Devil in fact ! it's changed the pole positions, so now such is pointing to all and anyone who does not embrace such nonsense !
So if one does not embrace such you are homophobic :rolleyes: how retarded can one get or depraved to peddle such a position, surely the work of Socialist grubs and they think that they got away with it ?
The trick of bastardising the word Homophobic. In the majority Such is not a fear of such, it's truly a position of morality and virtue and that's something anyone who supports Gays does not truly possess.
As in regards to such the grub will try and add the lowest denominator into the fray, so as to justify their angle, dribble like claiming red necks and rubbish like KKK ! are out right fantasy's ! or phobia related delusions or just playing such cards like a spastic with no true regard because they themselves are truly the bigot's in fact. Such as they do not listen at all, because they hate to be exposed.

I disagree homosexuality is being accepted by Christians.

It's an immoral sin God calls an abomination that is being pardoned as such and is then condoned by Apostates.

Big difference.

God also knows those names. Big problem. Eternally huge even.
But such a one is not truly worthy of being a Christian in fact, who embrace such.
Such a one can not enter into the Kingdom of God in fact and it's on the list in the Bible in fact. such a one can not enter into the Kingdom of God because one has not been truly born again.

David is there in the scriptures because his life experiences are so illustrative of what happens when a good man allows inherent sinful tendencies to overtake him, even when he had a good heart. It demonstrates God’s forgiveness when we are truly repentant, but it also demonstrates that God will not shield us from the consequences of our own actions. David's life was never the same again.

David’s power as king corrupted his heart, so we have real life examples in the Bible of how power can be abused and why power over others was never given to man originally, for that reason. God allowed David to be humbled and to express his regret. If God had not personally handled the sins of David with Bathsheba, he would have been put to death, but since he was to figure in the coming of the Messiah, God forgave him. In fact, Solomon (the wisest man on earth in his time) was the son of David and Bathsheba, so the Messianic line still came from David through the woman that he had taken in adultery, proving that God’s forgiveness was justified, and David’s repentance complete and genuine.

What I am seeing on this thread is a lack of balance. God says to hate the sin, not the sinner.....remember “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”? The first sinner we need to look at is ourselves...who can stand before God and declare themselves sinless?

The apostle Paul gave us the balance.....
Ephesians 5:3-5...
“Let sexual immorality and every sort of uncleanness or greediness not even be mentioned among you, just as is proper for holy people; 4 neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting—things that are not befitting—but rather the giving of thanks. 5 For you know this, recognizing it for yourselves, that no sexually immoral person or unclean person or greedy person, which means being an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of the Christ and of God.”

So even the ‘dirty jokes’ are not funny to God.....he would prefer that we keep our minds on wholesome things, not dwelling on subjects like this because he is going to deal with it in his due time. We are not the judge of these people and science is finding a somewhat common cause for its prevalence in this particular time period. Its always been there, but nowadays it seems to be exploding at an alarming rate.
This may explain why......drugs called "endocrine disruptors" might be the reason...

"The so-called endocrine disruptors have been described as compounds which interfere with the estrogen action in their receptors and may exert a crucial role in the development of the reproductive tract and in the brain sexual differentiation. Thus, conducts and/or exposure to these drugs in the perinatal period that apparently do not endanger the neonate may cause side effects. During embrionary development, the gonads, through discharge of a small quantity of reproductive hormones, will guarantee the phenotype of male or female at birth, as well as actuate in specific areas sexual differentiation of the central nervous system. Several experimental models have shown an interference of drugs acting as endocrine disruptors in hypothalamic sexual differentiation. Thus, reproductive function is impaired by exposure to estrogen in the perinatal life of rats and the mechanisms involved in this effect are distinct for males and females. Perinatal exposure to drugs which may be considered endocrine disrupters may induce an incomplete masculinization and defeminization of the central nervous system. Alterations in these processes, if present, generally are perceived only at puberty or adult reproductive life. These later alterations may include anomalies in the process of fertility or in sexual behavior."

Endocrine Disruptors and Hypothalamic Sexual Differentiation

Do we imagine that God has been putting up with this sexual sin for no reason? The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were so out of control that wiped them off the face of the earth, leaving us an example of how detestable sexual sin is in it’s most depraved expressions. Before that we had the activities of those in Noah's day and it caused God to wipe out the entire generation of that time.
But God allows people to make their choices and those true of heart will make the right ones for the right reasons....but NOT because someone told them how disgusting they are. You have to love people into the truth, not judge them out of it.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11....
“Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Do not be misled. Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practice homosexuality, 10 thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners will not inherit God’s Kingdom. 11 And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean; you have been sanctified; you have been declared righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God.”

We are all tested as to our willingness to put aside our personal preferences in all things, and to accept God’s truth. For some, the sacrifice is greater than for others. Sex has always been a problem for sinful man because it has to do with the transmission of life....something sacred to Jehovah. But sexual sin is only one of many.....can we rightly point fingers at others when we ourselves are carrying on conduct which is out of step with God ourselves? Will God judge them and not us the same way?

I think homosexuality is wrong because God/the bible says it's wrong but other than that, I feel sorry for homosexuals to have to deal with something they can't control, it could be a chemical thing, but just like pedophiles can't control what they like, I feel sorry for that too because I think there are nice pedophiles. I think there are many nice homosexuals. :(
Your sexual orientation does not determine whether you are a good "person" or not. Many homosexual people are faithful to their partners and just want to live their lives free from judgment. Not all are raving gays who march under rainbow flags, gyrating in drag gear. But if they wish to become "Christians", they have some tough decisions to make. You can be one or the other.....but not both.

We see that many great humanitarians are atheists....so does that make them acceptable to God?
God never said he was going to save "good people"....he will save obedient ones...those who put God's will before their own. He has no time for those who want to do their own thing, following their own interests....that is the very reason why we are in this mess in the first place.....the issues in Eden were all about obedience. Its all about doing as we are told by the one who Created us....the one who has the right to tell us how to live.
He will not force us to do anything, but allows us to make our own choices concerning our eternal destiny.

I see, so it's about doing God's will, denying ourself! but this is a big curse because it's about wanting to be with a loving partner but not being able to have one due to being a homosexual. :( This comes down to that knowing why someone becomes a homosexual would help a lot in this debate.

jesus worded stuff far better than Paul.

so when I study a subject I look at all sides. If when you study a subject it’s by only getting stiff you agree with it’s a echo chamber. It half wisdom.
So take take homosexuality. If I want to know about homosexuality I’ll look at the typical stuff and I’ll also look at what does pro LGBT scholars have to say. How they interpret the Bible and apply it. Once I’ve read arguments and counter arguments on a subject I’ll be better off to describe it.

Yes.....its about sacrifice.....just as God sacrificed his son for us, we are asked to do no less for him. As I said, for some, the sacrifice is greater because of this problem. But then pedophiles and people who fall in love with someone else's spouse face the same dilemma. Sexual attraction is strong but it must be controlled. Since "self control" is a fruit of God's spirit, He can help any sincere one to walk away from a sinful course....painful as it might be.

This comes down to that knowing why someone becomes a homosexual would help a lot in this debate.
It isn't that they have a choice about their sexual orientation....but they do have a choice about whether they engage in sex or not.

Understanding why sexual orientation gets muddled is a hot topic in the scientific community but rather than try to explain it, (when they can't fix it) they would rather just let it go and accept that these people are different....the problem for Christians is that we know how God feels about the misuse of sex.

As in the animals kingdom, sex is for one thing and one thing alone....having children. But the fact that this activity was restricted in God's laws to committed heterosexual couples, makes some people chafe when their flesh is dictating something different to their Bible knowledge. There has to be a winner and they are left to choose their own course. Will the sacrifice be made with God's approval? Or will they experience the outcome of the wrong choice and merit God's disfavor?

Those who could not care less what God says, will carry on doing whatever they wish......but those who do care about what God says are in a bind if they want to pursue a relationship that is forbidden in God's word.
There is no easy path. (Matthew 7:13-14)

jesus worded stuff far better than Paul.

so when I study a subject I look at all sides. If when you study a subject it’s by only getting stiff you agree with it’s a echo chamber. It half wisdom.
So take take homosexuality. If I want to know about homosexuality I’ll look at the typical stuff and I’ll also look at what does pro LGBT scholars have to say. How they interpret the Bible and apply it. Once I’ve read arguments and counter arguments on a subject I’ll be better off to describe it.
So having done that, what conclusion did you come to?
