it's true

Still don't call people a piece of shit

the guy dances around the 1 question quoting bible verses acting like he's something

Okay, you've known me only through a message board for like an hour and now you are so confident as to discredit my character and integrity. You don't know me personally at all.

Sounds like you are hiding something yourself by insistence to try to get me to tell you my issues.

i wouldn't be a part of your congregation

i feel bad for anybody that has you as their pastor

i bet you can't even be honest with your own congregation

I rather doubt you darken any door of a church that preaches the Bible

have you ever told the truth to your congregation?

Yes, every time I speak. I'm not a liar.

you can't say it to a stranger online

bullshit

I'm an honest, conscientious Christian

bullshit

Again cussing.

i smell bullshit

it's radiating from you

Well, get out of the pig sty

get away from you, will do

Okay you all can continue this conversation after you calm down

Go take a couple of minutes to calm down and then you can continue

No problem! No anger on my part.

stop pretending

can't bullshit a bullshitter

i fuckin hate that guy, a pastor that isn't honest

what a surprise

Its not a sin to be gay, its a sin to for 2 people of the same gender to be married and for two people of the same gender to have "sex"

Okay? Can you prove from the Bible your assertion it's not a sin to be a homosexual when I have been referring to Lev. 18:22?

They violate God's ordinance regarding both the procreation of man and his emotional life generated by his instinctive attraction to the opposite sex not only for procreating but for advancing the personalities of a man and a woman to a state of completion within the association of the Sacrament of Marriage. For all this, homosexuality is an insult to God, and since it attempts to alter the laws regulating creation it is a blasphemy.

yes. That verse is referring to sex, not homosexuality in general.

Homosexuality interferes with the normal development of societal patterns and as such it proves detrimental to all. These endangered patterns include personal values regarding sex which people normally take to be a vital part of their existence and a valuable asset to their living a normal life, esteemed by others.

Homosexuality appears to be of two kinds: physico-genetic and habitual. Physico-genetic homosexuality is of physical origin due to secretory abnormalities that may produce organic changes. This type of homosexuality is rather rare and is treated as any other medical disorder.
Habitual homosexuality may have more than one cause. All, however, point out to a moral failure at some stage of the individual's development, or to the animate environment from which the homosexual originated.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by habitual homosexuality? Because from the way you phrased it, it sounds like a punishment?

If being homosexual is not a sin, how do you explain Sodom and Gomorrah?

Like I said, it was about sex not homosexuality in and of itself. This example was just used to show how everyone in the city was bad.4

The story in Gen. 19 illustrated the reason why the city was repugnant to God--their aptitude for homosexuality

Any manifestation of homosexuality is morally wrong, its acceptance will lead to downfall of society. Its a medical dissorder. And we can admit that even without a christian view.

@HyperEvolution You are very well spoken and thoughtful. I fully agree, except that the statement it is morally wrong must be understood to come from the standard of the word of God. Morality is a changing thing based on people's perceptions. Democrats do that all the time, declaring something is immoral, like that it is immoral to oppose abortion, but they are wrong. The word of God is the authority to say if something is wrong or not. Otherwise, people go and cleverly try to excuse something away.

big brain
