I can see that you do not value God's Word. I'm done casting pearls.....ignore....It is your opinion, and that isn't objective
Faith is a personal belief in something that may not be provable by reason or evidence, while ideology is a system of ideas that is concerned with human progress and political action.Well, if you refer to political ideas, I agree. But ideology has gotten a bad rap, especially since we all have an ideology in various stages of development. I am speaking as a student of Jesus Christ, according to his ideology, which includes concepts such as "love your neighbor as yourself", "love your enemies", "pray for those who persecute you", and "the father forgave the prodigal son."
Sure it does. Killing another is wrong but not wrong in a war.The oughtness of murder doesn't depend on utility. Murder is wrong because only God has the right to terminate another man's life.
Are you actually pretending that LGBT people don't exist?Not if the group doesn't exist. I am not convinced that deviant sexual orientation is innate.
LGBT people are not fantasy characters.Believing that fantasy characters exist doen't make them real. We can play games all day. Try thinking a bit deeper.
Yet you are trying to focus on exitance of LGBT peopleIt's a matter of expectation. In the context of a Christian message board, any question of right or wrong will be focused on the oughtness of a practice. On a cosmetics board, one might find a thread entitled "Blond: wrong or right?" But one would expect a discussion concerning hair color preference. That is, "Should I dye my hair blond or leave it brunette?" And whether a particular hair color is "right" or "wrong" depends on intangibles. Dying the hair is not a moral issue.
the only obvious reason is your personal prejudice.I understand your argument that orientation is not a moral issue because, like hair color, orientation is just another attribute of human existence. I disagree for obvious reasons.
And still absolutely no evidence at all that it is learned.How can we get more obvious than to remove our clothing to see that males and females have parts that are unique to their sex and unique to their role in reproduction? Any so-called orientation that is contrary to the design of reproductive organs is not conducive to the purpose and is, therefore, a learned behavior.
Someone is paying thousands and thousands of scientists all over the world to risk their reputations and careers by creating fake research and doing so for decades and no one ahs caught any of these bribes and no scientis has ever felt the need to confess but still this MUST be happening.I am not convinced that a scientist found proof of innate deviant orientation. I can believe, however, that someone paid a scientist to make such a claim.
And you don't need to look through the telescope because you already know the earth is the center of the universe.Scientists are sinners and liars just like the rest of us. Some are honest, some are corrupted. But I don't need a scientist to tell me what I already know to be true. Form fits function.
how do you tell is someone is a homophobe? They seem to think they can tell who is and who isn't gay by some form of telepathyHow do you know someone is black? Look at his body. How do you know that a man is gay? Look at his behavior.
Can you show they are false?Yeah, with a bunch of false news so-called "scholars"![]()
rooted in your opinion about his wordUnlike yours, my "ideas about God" are rooted in His Word. Why do you place fake science above the Word of God?
I can see you don't value honesty and condemn anyone who doesn't agree with you.I can see that you do not value God's Word. I'm done casting pearls.....ignore....
I didn't say I couldn't find anything.you made the actual claim that means it's up to you to back it up.
But since you can't you have to change the topic.
Unlike you I can back up the "implied claim"

Wrangler wasn't being hateful.Because they are not intrinsic just like how the hate you demonstrate is not intrinsic to yourself.
I didn't say I couldn't find anything.
This headline proves my point.

They're "significantly more likely to report same-sex attraction, sexual minority identity, and same-sex experience" than the general population.www.nbcnews.com
Do you want to hook up? - LOL
No worries. I gave the set up. Good response.Wow, you're fast!
I deleted it because I wanted to modify it before you could get to it, but no-o-o-o!
I don't normally joke about this kind of thing, but I'm in a mood, so...
.
I suppose it's funny because I'm a bit irreverent.Wow, you're fast!
Church Pot Luck Gluttony: Wrong or Right?
False Face Church Greetings: Wrong or Right?
Indifference: Wrong or Right?
Doctrinal Feuds: Wrong or Right?
Condemning Others: Wrong or Right?
Biblioltry: Wrong or Right?
Pretty easy to judge homosexuality and ignore other GLARING problems.

Yes, no joking matter. (but I can't resist)

(now they will probably call me gay) Figures.
Because eating too much at a church potluck is just as big of an issue as homosexuality taking over the whole world. Give me a break.Some other topic ideas in this vein.

In the Old Testament scripture says that a man lying with a man as with a woman is an abomination and in the New Testament that says that one who does such practices cannot enter heaven, and it means one who fervently, willingly, continually, practice such things.I will be advocating for the side that homosexuality is inherently wrong, and the promotion of such actions and thoughts are evil. Similar or contrasting views are welcome and gladly accepted. Let us be in constant search for the truth during our discussion.
Being a minority isn't harmful.I didn't say I couldn't find anything.

he is saying that a minority is the same as rapists and murderers. That is about as hateful as you can get.Wrangler wasn't being hateful.
It is hateful to call someone hateful just for having moral convictions.
If you would have bothered to actually read the linked article you would have found that the author of the study actually address this question.Now, how could that have happened?!!
