Ergo, lesbians must be blessed by god.

Ergo.....We should all be lesbians!!


This would leave all us hetero men very happy (if ya know what I mean) but ultimately lonely. (except on Sunday's during football season)

Actually, the greatest tragedy is the rejection of education. You actually learn to think for yourself rather than give up your individuality and pledge your loyalty to a book.

Homosexuality on every level is not supported by the Scriptures.

I was under the impression that homosexual sex was a sin - not merely being a homosexual. How is being a celibate homosexual a sin? Where does the Bible say "Thou shall not even be attracted to the same sex."

And if you really just don't like homosexuals at all - then why even bring in AIDS? Because it seems that even with out AIDS - you still would not like them. You are using AIDS as an excuse if indeed you still have a problem with celibate homosexuals that aren't even engaging in any sexual acts.

And yet because so many ignored the Bibles warnings, millions of people have died. Is that what you call education? It appears to be a very costly lesson. They did not give up their individuality, however, they did forfeit their lives.

The Bible tells us that homosexuality is not natural. It is not God's way. I like anything that is in agreement with God's will. AIDS is just part of the problem when it comes to homosexuality. AIDS is not an excuse, it is a reality. When you focus your life on things that are not Biblical. No good thing will come of it.

Where does the bible address who you are attracted to? Where does it say that homosexual thoughts are not natural? You cannot control who you are attracted to. So basically - you are saying that if you are a homosexual - there is nothing you can do (in your eyes) to be acceptable to God?

AIDS is a realty for many people - gay, straight, babies, people that got it through blood transfusions and organ transplants, etc. How do we solve the problem? Educate people about safe sex. Educate people about drug use. Open the lines of communication so people can talk about things. There have also been improvements in curing the disease as it is no longer a guaranteed death sentence. You seem to relish more in assigning blame and condemning than you do with anything else. I don't hate the people that have AIDS - I feel pathos for them and wish them all the love and support that they need now more than ever.

You know your biggest problem is that you believe the bible has some kind of credibility in today's world...It has none.

LUST-Intense sexual desire; an intense longing; a craving.

Romans 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to (SHAMEFUL LUSTS.)

Romans 1:27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with woman and were (INFLAMED WITH LUST FOR ONE ANOTHER).

If you want safe sex, I would suggest you find a person who follows the Biblical law of God. And then stay with that person for life. Your belief that a condem will protect you is really problematic. For there are a number who have already died of AIDS who had used condoms. And yes AIDs is a reality for many, and that is because it continues to be spread around by so many evil people who have rejected God's commands. Homosexuals are just one part of the problem. There is a list of others.

One of my realtives was a Homosexual, and had to leave the Airforce because of this. Yet after this time, he choose to follow the Biblical way, and married a young woman. And they have been very happy for the last 35 years now. And that was the choice he made. Being gay is a choice. You can choose to follow your own lustful desires, or you can choose to follow the Biblical way.

If the Bible had no credibility, all of it's prophecies would be wrong. However we do not find this. And in fact, the Bible tells us the focus of world attention near the end of time will be the Middle East.
