Welcome to Gaia! ::

Beauty does not exist . . .

Dude, I lost interest after you said whatever version of the Bible you're using. So far every religion Christian religion I can think of (besides Catholic because I don't know about them) uses the King James version because it's the least corrupted. I'm not sure whether what you're using is just a different name for that. But yeah. My beliefs are yes, homosexuality goes against what God wants but it's not a sin since we have no control over it.

. . .Because everything is beauty
So church service was really really good. I actually cried during the sermon, it was so . . . this sounds arrogant and I don't mean it to be but I can't think of the proper words for it . . . like it was directed at me?

Still, as touching as it was, and as honored and humbled by the fact that either YHVH or Jesus was reaching out to me, and although I am going to implement a lot of the lessons the Reverend spoke into my life, I'm not sure I'm ready to title myself one of the Good Shepard's sheep. In the end I may return to the fold, or I may not. Even if I don't and probably go to Hell, or heck even if I do and probably go to Hell, I still want to go to this church, and learn what I can.

There were a LOT of gay people there. I met a guy whom I'd known before, and found out I knew his parents and him simultaneously but without making the connection gonk Also, one of the guys there seemed to not be so aware of my personal space. I got a very "I want you" vibe from him, I could be wrong, I'm not some sort of psychic, but that's what it seemed like to me. And I wasn't really interested in him that way. I went to the church wondering if I'd meet and maybe hook up with some guy, but after the sermon I was like "Why the ******** am I thinking these ludicrous thoughts, they don't serve me at all!" So yeah, I still want a relationship, but not as badly or desperately as before. My libido is still high (thanks spring) but I was reminded of how going for the sex first before having something is bad for me personally.

Yeah, and a bunch of other things are going on in my head that I can't really put into words.

Um, actually, no, it isn't.

In fact, it's quite poor as a scholarly translation. I loved it as a kid for the poetry, still do to some extent, but it's not a good translation.
The amount of posts on this topic is insane...

Well, in a way it's good. Around 10 percent of these posts I'd say could have been individual threads, and instead are here where they don't spam the forum. Hooray!

That's really beautiful. When people cry tears of joy from the word of God, it is truly beautiful.

I'm more emotional with music about God, myself.

I've never actually cried during a sermon, but it just spoke to me so much. The emotion I was feeling wasn't really sadness so much as it was, understanding, ya know?

Also, thank you for saying it was beautiful, but my eyes were all runny and a little pink around the edges I was tearing up so much. And I was really trying to keep it reserved since I only knew like 2 or 3 of the people there and everyone else around me were basically strangers. (not that they'll remain that way. I'm going again next week!)

Hm, well, my church is pretty open about that stuff. We all burst into tears and hug and everyone is happy and feels loved.

Never heard of. What sub-genre is he?

They do that too there, it's just that at my old church, the one I was baptised in, it was a lot more conservative (emotionally I mean, as in there wasn't all those displays of emotion. Maybe reserved would have been a better word)

It's a band name, and they're Christian rock. Kinda tech rock too.

Dude your an idiot. You make some valid points on some things but your wrong on homosexuality. Listen God would have mentioned the actual reason for destroying Sodom and Gamora. Also the New Testament changed the laws. Many but not all laws were erased and are no longer valid. But homosexuality is a sin. and all sins are equal in God's eyes. It makes me mad that you post this. You are going to make people think it is fine to behave that way. God made Eve as a companion for Adam. He made a woman for a man. He did not make a man for a man. He did not give Adam a choice between a man or a woman. He made a woman period. God flooded the Earth because they were acting homosexual. So take this forum down. or change it.

You sir, win my "Idiot of the day" award for stupidest post.


******** You b***h I don't give a s**t. I can't remember the verses that say it but the bible says that homosexuality is immoral that makes it a sin.


Go read the first page, you might recognize the verses there.

Matthew 15:1:1 "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that
which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man."

Col. 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice,
blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another,
seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the
image of him that created him."

Psalm 19:14: "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."

Irony is ironic.

Well, to be fair, if you can't provide some sort of verse or citation, there really isn't any reason for us to believe you. You could be right, but let me ask you this:

If I'd claimed that the Bible mentioned faeries somewhere, and you asked me where, and I couldn't show you, for whatever reason, what reason do you have to believe me?
