Welcome to Gaia! ::

For now, we're going to take the 3rd definition of it and discuss it.

From biblegateway.com, in NIV, there are only 3 verses in the Old Testement regarding bestiality






From those laws, we can see that bestiality was a serious offense in the Old Testement.

Now however, Christians like me mainly believes that the laws of Old Testement no longer applies.

So, does that mean that you can practice bestiality and still get into heaven?

Although I don't know it, but could it be possible that some people are born that "loves" animals that way? So then, can they still go to heaven even though they practice bestiality?

I've already accepted that homosexuals can have same-sex partners and still go to heaven (Because of Anael's thesis about it, read it in the ED when you get the time), but would that also apply to someone who practices bestiality?

If not, then I've got a lot more re-thinking to do, regarding both homosexuality and bestiality.

You do have a choice even after death to choose Christ or Satan in most circumstances.

That depends on who you ask.

According to many, in order to get to heaven all you have to do is accept Jesus as your saviour. There is no way you can be kept out if you have admited you are a sinner and repented through your acceptance of Jesus sacrifice as clensing you. Of course, they tend to assume that you then go on to live a perfect Christian life and constantly pray and show modesty. I don't know what happens if you accept Jesus then keep sinning, etc. Or even if that is possible.

Of course, some judge people on their works and acts, not their faith. That way, you would have to have been forgiven before you die, but after your last sin. For example, a Catholic would have to confess or be given the last rights to clense any of their sins before death. Other branches have similar idea, whereby some sins are so great that no amount of faith can save you.

All depends on who you listen to. They all have scripture to back them up.That is a good question. I don't know if you can be BORN that way, but in some cases it may not be an actual choice. There are other influences besides how you are born and how you conciously decide things. Your environment or mental problems could come into the picture later in life, and change how you see things.

Eh? Certain sects believe that belief, or rather faith in Jesus is the only thing that can get you into heaven, and the only thing needed to get into heaven. Everything else is a matter of personal belief.

Others believe the opposite.

Whether this would keep you out or not depends on who is right.

Could you be a Christian and still practice bestiality though?

And what passage does it state that there should not be even a hint of sexual immorality?

Well I agree with you Elenoa, having sex with animals is wrong and gross. God made the Older Testment Laws and God doesn't change. If He did no one would believ in Him for it would be a waste of time. The Older Testament is valid and people who say it isn't didn't read what Christ said at all. To be a Christian you have to read the whole Word of Christ for Christ was in the Old Testament. I think you will go to Hell if you do bestiality and not repent of your actions.

could you give me a biblical reference for your statement?

Heterophobic? Thats a good one. Will be sure to tell my girlfriend that tonight.

No, in reality I just hate baseless discrimination, or people who pick supporting statements from the bible either out of context or ignoring other sections arbitrarily.

My view is it is best to understand as many worldviews as you can. What they are and where they came from. It is best to start with your own.
