And why do they excuse themselves from the sins outlined in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10? Do you really believe that self-righteous Christians never lie, cheat, steal, drink, or idolize people and concepts other than God? What makes you think you are any better than the gay people you so love to condemn? If you tell me that you have never lied in your life, or that you have never met a Christian person who has gotten drunk before, then you are holding yourself and your fellow "Christians" to a different standard than the gay people you so love to hold in disdain.

Even if, for whatever reason, you do claim that none of the CHristians you know have ever engaged in the sins outlined in that one verse, I can tell you personally that I have. I have met self-identified "Christians" who have cheated on their spouses and then been accepted into a church later on because God has forgiven their sins. I'm all for forgiveness and have no problem with forgiving someone who may have a less-than-stellar past. But that's not the issue with so many self-righteous "Christians".

The issue is sheer hypocrisy. So many "Christians" are so quick to pinpoint non-believers' sins without admitting to their own. You're no better than the men and women who enjoy sex with people of the same sex, because chances are, you've lied, even if it was to tell your mother that she looks great in that dress. Chances are that at some point in your life, you or someone in your church congregation was drinking and had a little too much and got drunk.

If God is willing to forgive you for lying and drinking and so on, why would He not be willing to forgive gay people for engaging in same-sex relations? Why do you feel so comfortable condemning others when you have just as many weaknesses, are just as prone to sin, and just as imperfect in God's eyes as gay people?
I do not condemn anyone.. Jesus was plain saying their sinful state condemns them.
You are not tolerant of God's word, how can you be tolerant to what I say.All people are condemned to death in their sinful state. It is Jesus who brings life to those who accept him.

I do not have the power to forgive. Only God. I am a messenger of the truth and I cannot condemn anyone. It is sin that condemns according to the word of God.

Jesus said to the woman taken in adultery. I do not condemn you. Go and sin no more. It is the sin that condemns.

I'll be blunt. Neither Heterosexuality nor Homosexuality is normal or natural. Humans, like every other animal that reproduces sexually, is hardwired to hump. I would prefer kids be taught biology. Sexuality is a preference and I'm against teaching kids what to think.

Sorry gay advocates, you do indeed choose to have sex with your own gender. It's natural to hump.
Sorry religious fanatics, humans are not driven to be fruitful and multiply, they are driven to hump.

What exactly are you doing by "disapproving of the gay lifestyle" then? Condoning, supporting, advocating?

And if it's the sin that condemns, why don't you seem to care about all the other sins listed in the Bible?

And why would I do that, I made a comment on why it does no good for someone to explain those thing to you. Do you even try to understand a persons comment? take each word and read it again. Do you suffer from OCD? You ask the same questions over and over in each thread but never accept the answer from anyone.

You mean like the penis and the vagina?

Perhaps less time spent reading your sheep-herder comic book and more time reading a middle school health textbook would be beneficial.

In other animals, in addition to expelling waste material, urination can mark territory or express submissiveness. Physiologically, micturition involves coordination between the central, autonomic and somatic nervous systems. Brain centers that regulate urination include the pontine micturition center, periaqueductal gray, and the cerebral cortex. In males urine is ejected through the penis,

A normal menstrual cycle is typically between 21 and 35 days between menstrual periods. [2]
The average blood loss during a monthly menstrual period is 35 milliliters (or 4 to 6 tablespoons of menstrual fluid) with 10-80 milliliters considered typical. Menstrual fluid is the correct name for the menstrual flow, although many people refer to it as menstrual blood. Menstrual fluid in fact contains some blood, as well as cervical mucus, vaginal secretions, and endometrial tissue. Menstrual fluid is reddish-brown, a slightly darker colour than blood. [3]
Many women also notice shedding of the uterus's endometrium lining during menstruation.

The left-handed straight women give their husbands/boyfriends/one-night-stands/**** buddies hand jobs with their...left-hand.

As a right-handed straight male I find this behavior disgusting.

Luckily, my views are backed up by non other than the Catholic Church.


The Left-Handed Lifestyle is an Abomination! | Gay Blog | Gay News

That left-handers are allowed to mix freely with right-handers, marry freely, engage in their perverted sex acts, and raise children is a sign of our declining morality.
Or hair whorl. Here are some interesting things to ponder. About 8% of all men have a counterclockwise hair whorl (an abomination perhaps?). However, nearly 25% of gay men have a counterclockwise hair whorl. Also, 45% of the left-handed have a counterclockwise hair whorl. As to handedness, gay men are something like 80% more likely to be left-handed than straight people.

I wonder if left-handedness, a counterclockwise hair whorl, and male homosexuality have some sort of genetic pathway overlap?

I notice gay people have similar facial structures very similar to John Travolta.

You chose to believe what you want. God does not support the gay lifestyle. Sending Jesus to die on the cross for all sinners is as plain as one can say it. It is God's word that tells us what sin is, not I as you presume .

Right. And what are you using as a basis for God's word?
