On Homosexuality & Religion [Merged]

Started by Alliance274 pages

There is already a thread on homosexuality.

Maybe I wanted this question specifically focused on. Thanks though. And only one post has been on topic so can we get more to the point instead of these tangents.

Oh and Choas, I'm asking what are the reasons of other Christians for this because I don't know. Everyone I ask is saying, in paraphrasing, "just because."

Isn't the point of a post to have something specifically pointed out?

... Why are you even posting here? You are not even adding to the topic.

Ass. chair

Comming from a member who joined the forum today. There are rules here. You should lern them, or your time here will be short.

Do you see the thread on the first page? No. Do you feel like going through all of the pages of thread just to be certain that it's not a repeat? No. You haven't even provided a link to the thread like someone who is trying to be helpful instead of an a$$hole would do so drop it.

Geez. You intimidate none. Get off my nuts dude serenade

Pull the plank from your own eye before you concern yourself with the splinter in another's.

clap Ok now back on topic

For chithappens:

Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination.

*This is apart of the OT law for Jewish priests. Jesus fulfilled and removed the law.

Romans 1:26
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

*This is probably the strongest verse against homosexuality, however, many scholars believe it is actually a reference to men sleeping with boys, which was a Roman thing apparently. Note that there is no indication that homosexuals cannot reach heaven here.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

*The term effeminate is generally thought to refer to homosexuals. And does call them homosexuals in some translations. This is because the Greek word used for sodomy means homosexuals. However, it is to be noted what the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah actually were...

Ezekiel 16:49-50
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

*Homosexuality can only be included in the other abominations and was not the prime sin of Sodom.

Thank you for that. Very helpful. My thread can be closed now.

No. Why do you think sinners go to hell?

If a gay person apoligises for being gay, then I guess he could go to Heaven.

First you have to apologize for being christian. 🙄

Ok which way of going to heaven are you talking about? I guess it matters.

Good deeds, forgiveness, accept in your heart ...?

Heaven is not a place to go to. Heaven is a state of mind. This is also true for Hell.

In my religion we believe in the ten worlds:

Oh ok. Thanks for clearing that up. I tend to view it that way also, but for this thread I meant to focus on the Christian view of heaven.
