God is slow to anger , a loving God who sent Jesus for the remission of sin. But there are those who love sin more than God. They have a choice here..Life is short when one gets very old and looks at the time that has passed..it is short and the years go fast when an eternity is forever.

Should one throw away eternity for a short season of lust and pleasure? It is up to each of us to make the choice to walk in their own ways or choose to walk as we were made to , as we are all made in the image of God.


God knew we all were condemned but God sent Jesus to give us salvation , to salvage those who were living without God and in the power of satan.

Jesus is the power over the old life of sin and the new life is given through the Holy Spirit.. All one has to do is ask Jesus for the Holy Spirit to defeat the sin nature and the Holy Spirit will do just that. A new nature is born in the new creation of Christ. A new spirit that will live forever.
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

We who use the computer for the good use of it or the bad use of it. Same with everything man creates.
Men created your god in their own image then endowed 'him' with their own human emotions and behavior. That's why the god described in your Bible was so petty, angry, jealous, schizophrenic, misogynistic, murderous, male etc and was limited by their own knowledge of the world at that time. It's anthropomorphism.

And God said to them "Go forth and explore the forest.
But do not eat of the red apple because that is from the evil satanic queen
and Sleeping Beauty already took a bite and look what happened to her....

Oopps sorry. I've mixed up my fairytales.

A compendium of revered psychologists and mental health professionals can never compete with wikipedia trained psychologists and quack armchair psychologists that inhabit this board.

The APA is the largest association of psychologists in the world. Every other professional health or science body says pretty much the same thing. So are millions of health professionals around the world all quacks according to you?

You sound just like a scientologist.

Mention of the fact that it's found in the animal kingdom is typically in response to the claim that it isn't natural.

It's natural, as it can be observed in nonhuman animals.

It's justified (therefore defended) because no one can show how it's harmful.
Your last sentence doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Replace the word 'homosexuality' with' left-handedness' and maybe you'll see what I mean.

With the more recent evidence that gays and lesbians have differences in their brain functioning and structure, I wonder if it's also because homosexuals can think from a different perspective to heterosexuals? Nature loves diversity. Social conservatives do not.
If everyone in the world was a social conservative we would have died out long ago....mostly from complete stagnation and boredom.

AIDS is found in homosexuals at an extremely higher rate than in heterosexuals.
Ever heard of Africa?

Worldwide, HIV is transmitted mostly through heterosexual sex.

Also, amongst lesbians (who are also homosexual) there has never been a single reported case of HIV transmission where the only factor was female/female sex.

Isn't it funny how he said he "was going to stay out of it". Then he's gone on to make about a dozen more posts.... Just can't stay away eh Scotty?

I'm reminded of another forum where gay marriage was being discussed. it went on and on over about 48 pages and many months, with the only constant being one member (coincidently also named Scott) who checked in once a day to post "Moderator, lock this thread! Gays are nasty!". He just couldn't stay away.

Yes, they have the right to be left-handed or black (I see what you were TRYING to do, but actually, both of these things can be changed).

And I don't think left-handedness or being black should ever HAVE to be justified, but they ARE justified... Good enough?
