There is nothing wrong with passing judgement. We judge things all day. Does that donut look good to eat or the apple and on and on. The bible says Judge not lest you be judged, not to prevent us from judging but to let us know that we too will one day be judged. Yes, one day I will stand before the Lord and be judged by the same judgement I use. That is why I use righteous judgement.

Your right it is not a Christian-wide belief, but it should be. Those who say it is OK to sin are apostate.

But Men and Woman who chose to have sex with a person of the same sex need not be shoved anywhere like you say. I have said it is good for sinners to go to Church that is what Church is for.

I knew the second I laid eyes on that OP that this was going to happen.

Who did you choose to fall in love with? How did you choose to be sexually attracted to the opposite sex?

It should be? Luckily you and your personal interpretation of the Bible (which is wrapped in your own prejudice) don't dictate how other people worship. You can't force people to believe anything. If God is going to judge people on the topic of homosexuality, I'm much happier to be on this side, rather than yours.

I don't know if this post is for real or not, but it seems to me that homosexual men (or homosexual sex between men) must be the apex of a male's sex fulfilment. I mean, we're talking about removing the eternal gatekeeper - the woman. Dudes can be dudes and have all the sex they want, as they are much more likely to have similar sex drives.

maybe when I get some time later, I can go back and give some of my perspective on this issue.

I think OP sounds like a troll too. You don't just turn to a man or animal due to a high sex drive unless you are bisexual or into beastioligy. My sex drive was pretty high in my 20's, and I never had to turn to a woman. Many men and women have high sex drives and don't turn to same sex. There's plenty in bars that have no problem w/ one night stands. There's such a big difference between love and sex. A relationship is so much more. I'm in a committed marriage now and our relationship isn't based on sex. My dh is my best friend and will always be there for me. Making love is fantastic, but so is just being held.
