See, that.. I'm not too all right with. I support homosexuals in any way possible, but I don't believe they should be bringing bunches of homosexual couples in a family-oriented theme park. I don't have a problem with homosexuals doing their thing, however I just do not think it's something kids should be prone to see.

But that's getting off topic.

If disney saw what the heck was going with theme park he turn over in his grave.

I think when christ was at the last supper and must told he followers that men become lovers of men , would he predicted that gayness ?
even more distrubing the schools hire gay teachers to teach kids to be gay.
but even yet some people have sex out in public.

So homosexuality cannot possibly be a sin. Unless humanity tries to make it seem that way, and succeeds.

That way is "repentance" and there is no way to see a sin like a "no sin." Homosexuality is a sin that's it. There is no way to "cover it up" even if they say "I love him/her."
hummm... humanity can say the opposite if it wants.... humanity agreeing or not.... is still a sin....

God made everything clean, including living beings. Nobody or nothing is greater or valuable than others. A ruler is still a normal person.
Anyway...
If humanity suggests that being what you want to be is wrong because a group of people with their closed minded opinions say so, then their is pretty much no point of having any religion. Religion is equal to acceptance.

OKay, seeing how I started this thread, I guess its time for me to put in my two sence. I believe that homosexuality IS a sin (as many members have posted, God created man and woman to be together, not man and man or woman and woman). Right now, I am not after telling Sam (my gay ex) that he is sinning. When he came out to me, he also told me that he needs a strong person to be able to lean on. He is such a giving person that right now he needs to be the person being taken care of. So, just because I believe that he is sinning, I am still going to love on him.

Something else that he told me is that hes been trying to fight/deny this for a long time, but is not able to anymore. Not only that, but that he feels that he is not able to help the way he is. I've known for almost two months now, and have not talked to him about this yet. He chose to write me a letter when he came out, and though we still talk several times a week, I've not been able to discuss this with him yet. Hopefully soon though.

at Shu: Yes God is very high and mighty. But no, he will not control people because one of the greatest blessings he has given us is "free will". We are free to choose to follow him or not. He will not force us to. If he did, then he wouldn't really be a loving Father and Creator.

at the people who tried to use Jesus's words "become lovers of man" in their arguments: This is not refering to homosexuality. This is refering to loving all people as brothers and sisters.

The bible says that it is a sin. Whether you believe in the bible or not, that's were the whole sin thing itself comes from. Everyone always sins in some form anyway. And sin is said to be equal in God's eyes. I'm not going to judge. I personally don't have a problem with it or care. One of my best friends is Gay and I don't care.^_^ It's something they live with. If they're happy with it then who cares.

*Shodokan* · May 01, 2007, 06:44 PM

Homosexuality is and a whole bunch of other silly things are a sin. If I remember it right isn't masturabtion a sin? If you are homosexual and reading this thread don't get offended most peple don't take religous people seriously.

My religious relatives said our cousin who lives with his girlfriend is living in sin. I just chuckled.

Grumble Grumble Grumble

There was once a sizable religious group in the US that believed that 'sex' was a sin. As a result, (and one of the more graphic examples of 'Evolution in Action') the 'Shakers' are now known for a unique style of American antique furniture, as the religious group itself, is for all practical purposes, extincit!!!

Now keep in mind that the Christian religion isn't the 'be all and end all' of world ethics and beliefs. Very few people now believe that the world is flat square (so that God can hold domain over it's four corners!) or that the planets and stars of heaven circle around the earth. Attitudes for homosexuality (even within the Christian religious belief) are not a uniform block, but instead fragmented to the local sect interpretation...

*Pyro Psycho* · May 01, 2007, 08:37 PM

Doesn't matter to me actually. Love is love like I always said. If anyone believes that they in their heart truely love this person for who they are by all means gender doesn't have to get in the way. But that's what I believe.

For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith; 11 as it is written, "The one who is righteous by faith will live."
18
12 The wrath 13 of God 14 is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness.
19
For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them.
20
Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse;
21
for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.
22
While claiming to be wise, they became fools
23
and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
24
Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts 15 for the mutual degradation of their bodies.
25
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26
Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural,
27
and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity

this proves what they are saying so yes it is a sin

Only in the eyes in of a christian, catholic, and etc in my opinion.
