You believe homosexuality is a sin based on your beliefs about the Bible.

I don't share those beliefs. I'm thrilled to learn you will no longer negate those beliefs. Hopefully this will also end your posts declaring the LGBT community is full of sin.

The problem is simple. ANY sexual involvement out side of a Biblical marriage between a man and a woman, is a sin. Matters not man/woman; man/man or woman/woman.

Now if one wants to reject the bible;s clear position they are welcome to. But don't then appeal to it for approval.

Perhaps I did not make myself clear and if that is the case I apologize.

Man did indeed walk on the moon. This is truth regardless of how many people believe it to be false.

God exists and all are under the authority of His objective morality. This truth exists regardless of how many people deny it.

Homosexual acts are sin against an all-powerful, perfect God. Again, this is true regardless of how many people believe otherwise.

The argument of the existence of contrary beliefs is an empty argument, for it fails to cast light on either side and ignores the truth and the evidence.

Your religion, and your god is a belief system.

So unless you want to start calling the survivors of Auschwitz liars you might want to think of something else to back up your claim.
Some do you know and it's sickening but it's rationalizing so they can hate them.

Everything in this world requires belief and trust, the question remains the same is to what and to whom do you place your trust? In men or in God?

I choose God, you choose men. It is the nature of the world we live in.

Just so we're clear, no one in this thread has denied the holocaust. Even though those type of people do exist, they are not here arguing for such a falsehood.

I've yet to see a thread titled: "Cheating on your taxes: What does YOUR Pastor say about it?"

We both choose men. You are placing your trust in a man-made religion. Men wrote the Bible claiming it was the word of god. God did not write the Bible.
