Thats it there ya go.
I really don't understand how that has to do with being gay/les., it sounds like to me that you are quoting a verse that says taht we should not lie with someone outside of marrage, but the problem with this verse is also that it is out of context. If I saw some of the verses around it, perhaps it would be different, and I could understand how it is an abomination.
T3gah (what does that stand for, by the way?), thank you for your verses, they were very helpful. Might I ask you what version of the Bible you used? I do agree with some of what you siad about the constitution, but I personally think that the constitution was perhaps written by man, but it was written by them to protect any beliefe, religios or not. That means that I can have a belief in anything, and I can not be prohibited from that belief, as long as it does not harm someone else. I can believe in computers, and think that computers created the universe, and the government can't stop me. The part of the constitution was allowing free will to all, and equal rights to all, be they man, woman, mexican, american, indian, african etc.. we must come to God by our own free will, and no government can force us into being a child of God, that is our own personal chouse and is granted through Christ, by the Holly Spirit. The man who wrote the consitution understood this, and also understood that our nation could not and would not advance if we were constintly stopping and listening to one person/man/woman/book whatever. If we were all Christians in America, every last one of us, and all had the same interpratations of the Bible, and same beliefs, then our laws could be set to say that no gay marrage is allowed. But, we are not all of the same religion and belief, so our laws have to be open enough to insure freedom, and closed to insure safetly. We can do this and allow gay marrage. If we all adopt the same religios beliefs in america, then this can be changed.
But this is really only 50% on topic, so let's not get off to much.
Another question I have: Why do you think that God would consider being gay/lesbian unnatual? Of course, I am not to question what God says, but I was just wondering if anyone had any inlightment to offer on this.
Thanks!!!
