Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hmm, I can kinda understand the arguing one - I don't approve of it, but I understand the reasoning behind it. The other one's just messed up though.

I've heard of the book, but I've never read it.

Whoa.........did I miss something? Thought this was a CHRISTIAN guild. Scripture is VERY clear that 'homosexuality is ABHORRENT to God'...QED: NOT AN OPTION. "Because the Bible says so is not an answer"?????? Maybe it isn't to some ppl, but as for me, God's Word is the FINAL word....so any other authority or answer is a moot point. BTW just to state my own perspective: I do not condone "religion"......I do not think any particular faith has a "corner on the market" on God. Scripture is also clear on THAT....belief in Jesus Christ as Risen Lord and Saviour, and the only begotten Son of God......THAT is the ticket into Heaven...not any particular way of worshipping, no special prescriptions or formulas. But anyone who considers themself a Christian at all understands that homosexuality is not an option. Yes, God forgives sins, that was why Jesus had to die on the cross, to become sin FOR us. But it is not ok to call yourself a Christian and continue in the same pattern of sin (ie: an "alterative lifestyle") just because you can ask God to forgive you after you have finished wallowing in your sin. Nobody is perfect.........only Christ Jesus. I don't claim to walk on water....but I DO try to walk my talk. As to the "being removed from a church for being Jewish".....what kind of church DOES that? Jesus himself was a Jew! Is it not God's will that ALL people should enter into the Kingdom of Heaven? Scary stuff..........

it is, however, non-christians are welcome to come and freely give their opinion and view point.

Ah I see
Perhaps you are having issues

Think for a moment
Lets say you and I are points on a non-continuous function
Now lets say that each end of the function (as x approaches infinity and negative infinity) represents the extremes of our subject or as it just happens to be the absolute (absolutely everything)
Ok now take the limit as the function approaches our extremes
We find that the limits are just that, our extremes but not quite
they are so close and can get as close as we care to calculate but the answer will never really be the extremes, always close enough but not quite

Perhaps we are a function, a derivative of all that is, always changing, always moving , being everywhere and no where all at the same time
but what makes us different is perspective, perspective from experience

Now imagine the function is that of a circle and you and your perspective are at its center, you are the center
Now imagine that the circle is now a sphere and all that is happens to be contained within the sphere
And how can we define all that is if all that is is an ever-expanding sphere based on our own perspectives relationship with radius "r"
How about by defining what is not...what is outside
It’s typical to think subconsciously in this way
For what is light without darkness
There will always be a relationship between all that is and all that is not
And here we have each one of us at the same but separate center in-between what is and what isn't yet still contained within all that is

And now it gets very complicated
Usually I start this rant using a box and not a sphere but this time I felt like skipping a few parts...that and I’m starting to go off track

My point
I do not believe that absolutes exist
Contrary to traditional instruction practice 100% is not obtainable but rather 100% is simply when you get close enough
So where do you fit on the function of all that is with respect to all that is not
That my friend is the question of the day and knowing is not the answer but rather how you arrive at your answer

Furthermore with all that is always changing then how can we know what is and what is not but for an instance?
Always a new answer
And what better spot to start looking then with the people you share life’s greatest treasures with

lordstar, that made no sense, what so ever.
And I don't have issues. Seriously. You don't know me, so please don't judge me on this post.
I have a really big crush on my friend Adam.
And I'm a girl

You do not "know" homosexuality is wrong. You THINK homosexuality is wrong. A rather huge difference when you think of it.

This is your opinion and quite contrary to The Word. Not only does God not condone Gay, Lesbian etc. He also is not fond of Liars, Fornicators, Murderers.

Interesting to note, "Liars" is lumped together with other sins we deem more serious than others.

Sure God loves us all, He sent His only Son because He so Loved the world...that doesn't mean He condones, and one Day we're all...everyone...going to have to give an account for our thoughts and for our actions...and I believe that their are going to be some very surprised people that Day...Christians included.

Also there was lots of editing of the Word just before the release of the King James Bible

if anyone wants to read the Word they won't find it in King James
