Re: The Question of Homosexuality and Religion

Dear Friend,

At first glance it looked like you had a change of heart, but I regret to say you are still putting words in my mouth. I never called those things sin, I just quoted what the God of the Bible calls SIN: adultery, sex outside of marriage, or called fornication, homosexuality etc... because it is. God is our Creator so, he makes the laws and his laws are good. A fact proven by the people who break those laws because they end up in misery. God wants us happy so he gives us guidance (laws)in His Book to do just that.

It’s kind of simple really. Good parents also give their children guidance or laws. They might tell them not to eat too much candy. The child thinks the parent is spoiling their fun so they eat all they want...and get sick. The child doesn’t understand YET, that the parent wants them happy, not sick Get the connection? If not… it might help to know that God is also called The Father. Yes, sin has been going on since Adam and Eve sinned. BUT we still have a choice. Why don’t you start by making the right choice? You probably won’t because like candy, sin brings pleasure for a time...a very short time, because: “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Ro 6:23)
The choice is plain: sin, unto death or Christ, unto life.

Again, you put words into my mouth because I also never said “homosexuals were the cause” of all those things. I simply said the Bible calls homosexuality sin, and it is a ‘choice’ like all sin. Love? Where did you find anyone on this “wonderful website reaching out to me in LOVE”? ....You?

The way heterosexuals got AID’s was because of blood transfers, or SIN. If they didn’t commit adultery, or fornication AID’s would have been left primarily to homosexuals and others who practice sexual SIN, where AID’s was started in the first place. It should be pretty obvious to you that more heterosexuals have AID’s because there are more of them than homosexuals.

Again, you said: they were "a punishment from God”. If I have to keep reminding you about putting words in my mouth I’m going to think you are choosing the sin of lying. :(

You also said:

I don’t assume anything about your particular lifestyle. The Bible simply explains that the practice of homosexuality is sin, and “the wages of sin is death”. Would you care to describe what you practice with another person of the same sex in your lifestyle? Maybe then I will give you my opinion.

You obviously have your ‘divines’ mixed up and didn’t know the great I AM wrote the Bible. Ex 3:14 “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.”
