John 15:12 "This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. If you have love for one another, then you have fulfilled the law. Romans 13:10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Love is the key, not attributes like who or what. |

My question is a simple one to homosexuals who are professed christians who follow the bible. This question is not geared toward any other faction of homosexuals. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6184131 Corinthians 6:9-10 is pretty straight foward with stating that homosexuals will not get to be apart of Gods kingdom. How are your pastors and preist able to justify this for you? And how do you explain to others that God condones it if his word the bible clearly says he does not? Again, this is a question I have never had adequetly answered. I am not judging or bashing. I am merely looking for that point of view with reason. Hopefully scripturally based and not a bunch of "I think" I'd rather more of "The bible says". Thanks in advance. You, Sir, are beholden to a particular translation of a translation of the Bible. I challenge you to take Corinthians 6:9-10 and find the key word which has been translated historically as many things, not just as homosexuals.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 703935 United States 06/17/2009 02:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am a gay man and a strict follower of Zjesus. Here is why: You say, OP "the bible is clear"- but open your eyes and be surprised!! The passage you quote is a poor translation- I have said this time after time. The bible is not perfect. It has mistakes. Bad translation is common in it. There is no such thing as inerrant scripture. Now, the words "effeminate" and "homosexual" are very poor word renderings. The author actually was speaking of temple male prostitutes and preditorial child molesters. The bible has a common thread of condemnation to serial immmoral behavior, ie,sexing around life style. The bible in no way condems commited , same sex partner ships. The church today has it wrong wrong wrong. The view that we are being taught is with great error, and many innocent people are being punished and caused great harm by these false teachings. I reach out in humble christian love, and state to you, there is a place for us gay people in the church. |

And Jesus, being angered , went off with her into the garden where the tomb was, and straightway, going in where the youth was, he stretched forth his hand and raised him, seizing his hand. But the youth, looking upon him, loved him and began to beseech him that he might be with him. And going out of the tomb they came into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days Jesus told him what to do and in the evening the youth comes to him, wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus thaught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God. And thence, arising, he returned to the other side of the Jordan." [link to www.gnosis.org] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 704586It's one or the other. You can't have your cake and eat it know what I mean? Homosexuality goes against the core dogma of Christinaity. Actually, it doesn't. You have not dug deep enough into the bowels of Christianity -- I suggest you try it. For starters, the passages which are generally used of the Bible to condemn homosexuality are very poor translations into English. I would further encourage you to seek out the book "What the Bible REALLY says about homosexuality" by Helmeniak. |

There hasn't been a sin free soul since Adam and Eve left the garden. It's not as simple as knowing you've sinned... it's having conviction in your actions. Doing a moral thing for a greater good. Most gays and lesbians keep to themselves, and all they're doing is sharing love... One of the most crucial parts to our existence. Lets keep in mind, the bible was written by men. Translated and re-written by men. We can't fairly judge where God really stands on this issue simply because so much has been lost in translation and time. I'm a firm believer in God, but I can't put all my faith into the words of men who lived 2 thousand years ago in a different time, with different struggles. I put ALL my faith in God. And anyone who has God in their heart will know when they do wrong, not because a book told them, but because they can feel it in their soul. Regardless, leave the gays alone. Either they go to hell for sinning, or we do for shunning their love. Everyone's view will always differ on this subject, whether we accept them or not. We won't know til we die anyway. |
