Ricette Kazydi Syrokal Its completely cool, every argument against Homosexuality in the bible is a twisted one made to fit the Agenda. Biological reasons are now the findings of the vast majority of Study's and God would not create you in a way against what he deemed correct. Go for it. Geez, he asked for God's opinion. God's pretty clear on his views against this. Oh so you and God talk regularly over lattes and you know Him so well YOU a mortal can safely and confidently say YOU know HIS, the ALMIGHTY GOD'S opinion on this? Or are you following a rather old and obscure law from the bronze age in the Bible that helps you justify your irrational hatred and insecurity against things that don't fit into your circle of "normality"? Sorry but, not one mortal on this Earth will know His or any other deity's opinions on anything for certain. To assume you know what something that high and mighty is thinking is blasphemous and probably sacrilegious. No deity likes an uppity person.
[sarcasm]Holy pizza pockets, Batman!! A mind reader!! She knew exactly everything I was thinking!![/sarcasm]
Way to assume there, hotshot. Did I say ANY of that? I said that God was pretty clear about what he likes and what he doesn't like, and I left it up to him to make his decision from there. Geez, I leave these forums for a while hoping that things would be different when I got back.
Nope.
Still the same pompous people, fighting the same empty battles, over the same stupid topics. |

I don't think he has lattes with him but I could assume he does talk to God. If you don't know; prayer is talking to God. And yes, he can talk back if you listen. This book should help if anyone is having problems listening (most are today because of distractions). Also beware, if you don't know God's voice yet; you could mistake it for satan's.

Is God truly clear on what he wants or is it just humanity's massive ego telling us what they think God wants?...Like Ricette said, God is supposed to be this loving and caring Father.
Why is it okay for YOU to tell ME how MY God is supposed to act, yet I can't even simply state an opinion as to what I THINK God would do in a certain situation?
Geez, what's going on here?! Excuse me for being a christian and discussing things in a christian forum. My bad.
A guy can't say anything to anyone about his religion here, without getting attacked by someone who's sole purpose in these forums is to dump red paint on everyone's wedding clothes.We aren't saying how your god should act, we are saying that you are a bit arrogant to think you know what your god is thinking and would do. The way you say thing sometimes always comes across, at least to me, like you see him at a coffee shop and talk to him, like you have his number and all that so you know. But you don't. You can think that your god would do one thing, but to state that it is the thing he would do, thats arrogant.

Thanks, ShideKnight ^^
There are many people who struggle with these kinds of thoughts and emotions. After all, we're only human. You're not alone.
I think the most important thing to remember is to try to remain controlled and not act on impulse too quickly when you're placed in a situation where you are being temped. The Word of God tells us to be clear-headed and self-controlled if we can help it.
And though I love gays and I have nothing negative at all to say about the gay community, there's no way I can contradict God's Word. The Bible is clear about what kind of sexual acts are okay and which are not okay.
1 Corinthians 6:13 says "The body is not meant for sexual immorality"
It's pretty obvious that this is true, because it causes a lot of problems medically.
1 Corinthians 6:12 - "Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"—but I will not be mastered by [slave to] anything.
1 Corinthians 6:18 - "Flee from sexual immorality."
1 Corinthians 6:9 - 11 - "Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
Those where from the New Testament. And from the Old Testament, the more obvious one:
Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as you would with a woman."
This is why people are angered by these verses, especially if they like to do those things. But at the end of the day, it's your call. Either follow God and trust in Him and that He has only the best for you, or reject Him entirely and do whatever you want. There is no middle ground.
It's your life and you need to do what you believe is right in your heart regardless of what others tell you. But every action has a consequence and sex always comes with a price tag, even if it's not obvious right away.
So it's up to every individual what they want to do with their lives.
It is written:
Revelation 22:11 - "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."
And the good news!
If you have done any of these things, or if you still do them, don't fret. Look what is written in Matthew 21:31 - "Jesus saith to them, 'I say to you, That the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.' " (Jesus was speaking to Jews and Pharisees)
Indeed, He despises sin, but never the sinner. No sin is too great for Him to wash away. His love is that powerful and His mercy is great. That's why He made the sacrifice in the first place. His blood is powerful enough to cleanse the entire world, if they would only accept.
@ OP: Maybe a spontaneous thought is not a sin, but acting on the thought can be.
Continue to pray and try not to entertain certain thoughts for too long (and if you can help it, don't go looking for certain things on TV or the internet, Lol). I hope I helped a little. God bless you! ♥

SomeGuyNamedEvan It's just homosexuality is so public now, it's everywhere. In every TV show I watch there's a gay character in at least one episode... I don't have to go looking for it, it's there. And if masturbation a sin, if you don't do it when lusting over something? Like only to relieve stress? ~ heart Evan heart ~
There's a saying about avoiding the very appearance of evil that was quoted recently... I swear this saying was written way back when for TV today. 99% utter BS....
Honestly, if it matters to you, just avoid shows/movies/games/books/whatever that you think are bad for you.
Really people in general should do this anyways, because the environment you keep around you has a lot to do with how you live your life, what is important to you, and what you think about, and real sin is whatever gets between you and God.
And for masturbation, err... well if you can do it without lust, but, um, isn't lust like... the point, the reason you do it anyways? sweatdrop
I think it falls into that whole sexual impurity thing eaither way though.... |

Some do it to relieve stress, some do it so they won't have wet dreams and have to deal with the embarrassment of telling their parents they had a wet dream.
