Many times? Let's assume for the moment that the Bible's is God's own words, that the translation of the translation of the translation we now read is correct, and that personal or social opinion was not interjected along the way. There are 31,173 verses in the Bible, if homosexuality was so abhorrent, why was it spoken of (assuming of course we have the translations correct), 6 times and why did Jesus never speak of it? I hardly call that many times. In fact, the Bible contains only 6 admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. What does that say about heterosexuality?DianJo said:God has stated many times that homosexual behavior is not the way to get to Him but will lead away from Him and I just don't see how you can rationalize that!

I know I said I would stay away from this topic........... I just want to point out one thing after reading this quote from FeathersInHair:I know that about half of my homosexual friends have been driven away from the Christian church because of people telling them that they are in some way inferior on a base level.
seraphimfire said:no penitration took place! I introduced a female and the dominante one immediatly mated with her and of course more hampsters appeared! The other male hamster died.Make you own conclusions!
Are you sure about that? Even if it was true, sexuality is not about penetration, sorry to disappoint you.Lets look at animals, they never have sexual penetration other then natural male female sex!
Raphael said:The reason that Jesus and the Apostles felt no need to chastise homosexual activity, was that the issue had been settled since Sodom. They also never bothered speaking against pedifelia because it to is easily recognised as immoral by any servant of God. Perhaps the inability to recognise commonly accepted moral guidelines stem from the individuals desire to disobey God. Jesus never forgave anyone without demanding moral change in their life. Example "And I forgive your now go and sin no more." No one is a servant or friend of God who desires to remain in a sinful state.

Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

Gladly. Here's a few:I would like to know a real instence of same sex bonding and sexual intercourse between animals. send me a link or something.
All the time? Do you have some proof of this? Certainly it happens, but I highly doubt it's "all the time".men and women rape animals all the time!
seraphimfire said:First to Feathers;
send me a link or something.
seraphimfire said:I think that animals have been perverted by the destruction of habitat and men and women rape animals all the time!
seraphimfire said:The violence that is commited toward any human being is repulsive to a true Christ follower. To the subject of Sodom and Gomorah, the violence that was in those cities was the reason for their destruction!
seraphimfire said:I wonder why America and other countries are not totally destroyed for the violence happening today!?
The sexual sins of those cities was also great but look around, how much time do you think we have!?
Peace
On the broadcast of the Christian television program "The 700 Club," Falwell made the following statement:
"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"
