Homosexuality in the eyes of God

[Mentor]

I'm a bi-sexual male myself and religious to a certain extent; I don't believe the entirety of whats wrote down in the bible, but certain bits I do. To clarify again, it doesn't mention anything about homosexuality being a sin in itself but simply sex between two partners of the same sex being an abominaton.

Thats old testiment thogh, The same bit which gives advice on selling your daugter as a slave?

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. If she does not please her master, who designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed; he shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt unfairly with her. If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter. If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish the food, clothing, or marital rights of the first wife. And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out without debt, without payment of money.
<snip>
When a slave-owner strikes a male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies immediately, the owner shall be punished. But if the slave survives for a day or two, there is no punishment; for the slave is the owner’s property.

How exactly does he 'let' them do it?

Well if 'god' is in charge of everything, if it was a sin obivously he wouldn't allow it. Ohhh you get what I mean.

True entor!

In regards to the priest question and in terms of God and the catholic belief, i'm pretty sure it's okay providing the priest is a non practicing priest.

1) This only applies if you are christian, because most religions dont even cover homosexuality.
2) Just a general question-- Why should christians care if homosexuals are going to hell? How does it affect them?
3) The 'it isnt natural' arguement is hypocritical. You know that humans technically arent meant to eat meat? We have many vegitarian atributes, we have simply adapted to eating meat. I can name a million things humans do that isnt natural.
4) The amount of humans on earth is far above where it really should be. So a few possible babys that dont get born isnt going to affect us that much.
5) The bible also puts women below men. It wasent until women's revolution over a century ago when women started becoming equal. The church has learned to adapt to that. Homosexuality is just another adaption.

Homosexual marriage here in the U.S. will be passed. There is only the question of how soon. When we abolished slavery, there were opponents, but now that its passed, everyone's accepted it and its hard to find someone who thinks we should go back. When women fought for their rights, people fought back. Guess what? Women are now equal. Homosexuality is just the next step.

Ben,if there was an omni-potent God don't you think he would have got involved/not allowed more important matters? Times have changed and as Mentor pointed out slavery for daughters was common but not really in England it's not anymore, still is in some countries though. If he was incharge of everything he would have got involved with more serious choices and suffering that happens. But if he does truly exist he is giving us the choice to choose the right path. As they say people can have consequences from their action and only the path they choose will choose if they have consequences or are rewarded.

Nore does the christan bible if you read it in context "/

Somthing to complain about? most are americans after all

3) The 'it isnt natural' arguement is hypocritical. You know that humans technically arent meant to eat meat? We have many vegitarian atributes, we have simply adapted to eating meat. I can name a million things humans do that isnt natural.

Actaly humans are better adapted to meat than veg and frute so thats compleaty inccorrect, all animals evolve to sute the surroundings and food sorce, if meat is unnatral for humans, vegtables are unnatral for rabbits

4) The amount of humans on earth is far above where it really should be. So a few possible babys that dont get born isnt going to affect us that much.

1st would contarys populations are in freefall, the 3rd world is makeing up for it. within the next 300 years quite a few european contarys could cease to exist..

5) The bible also puts women below men. It wasent until women's revolution over a century ago when women started becoming equal. The church has learned to adapt to that. Homosexuality is just another adaption.

The bible was adpated to put woman down to start with "/

God didn't create gay people. God created people who have a free will. They can choose to follow the will of God, or they can choose to follow the will of their flesh.
