I agree. And what is stopping that....certianly not me.
I do care about the fact you accept a different understanding of what the truth is and so does God.
Most people agree that it's not because of uncaring entities that there are so many warning labels in a vehical today.
It's the same reason God warns about unbelief, certian life styles ect.
God produced these warning so that a person can get to home (heaven), that is why it's written in his word.
Tell me.... why would people would laugh (understandably so) if a person would ignore all the warnings and cautions of operating a vehical then yet is surprised when they fail but when it comes to God and his word, many people think just the opposite?
Like I said, Twin, you and I will never see eye to eye on a great many things. I know you see the Bible as the truth - I simply don't so your analogies don't mean much to me. There is no way for us to agree on this subject. At least we both like Batman, don't we?

I know men that only find other men attractive but since they are Christians they choose not to engage in any homosexuality behavior/activity. They have repented and I respect them for that.
We have very different ideas of what it means to love and to hate. I'll leave it at that.
No, let's not leave it at that. What is love & hate to you?
Love to me is wanting & striving for what's best for someone... even if it involves temporarily pain.
Hate is passionate dislike.
From my posts, you'll see it's clear that I've shown love for people... and hate for harmful behavior.

Scientifically, it is a lie to claim that someone is born with gay preferences. Please provide proof that somebody has been born gay. You cannot! In all of the years of research, a "gay gene" has never been found!

By implying that homosexuality (homo=same sexuality=sex) is natural, you imply that sex organs of 2 of the same sex are naturally meant to go together... when obviously they don't. I realize that homosexuals don't try to get their parts to fit together because it's a pointless cause... yet in trying alternative sex substitutes, they often cause harm... in STDs... & those who try anal sex (hetero or homo) can cause hemorrhoids, anal fissures, anorectal trauma & retained foreign bodies & creates high risk for anal cancer.

Maybe you don't understand what love really is... LOVE is honestly searching for truth & for what is best, even when others want to "shoot the messenger."
How many times do I have to explain that I post this out of love? I don't want to see more death (2 friends have died of AIDS) nor any more sickness because of homosexual practices.

Please enlighten me how posting medical advice, anatomy & USCDC statistics are condemning.

And I say a big AMEN to that!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Jesus said; "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF"...I don't remember him singling out those neighbors who aren't heterosexual. Just goes to show how JUDGEMENTAL AND HYPOCRITICAL most alleged Christians really are...their intolerant and bigoted behavior still astounds me today...and they don't know a single thing about the AGAPE LOVE they are supposed to have for their fellow man.
Perhaps one should really give this statment some thought: Christians are supposed to be in the world but not of the world...you should not be concerning yourselves about worldly issues.

I agree that as we define God, we define ourselves & others & visa versa.
The greatest commandments given are to love God & others as ourselves.
So, I also agree that to judge others in a condemning way breaks that commandment & is hypocritical, since nobody's perfect.
Yet, I believe & it is written that "it is given us to judge between good & evil." I also believe that the world will become more corrupt when good people don't concern themselves with behavior that has been proved to often lead to harm & even death. Being in the world, not of the world doesn't mean we hide out in a cave. Jesus didn't. It means we let our spiritual side win over our worldly side. Real LOVE is wanting & striving for what is best in the big picture, not just what feels good temporarily.
Silly motto (and not Biblical anyway, came from Gandhi). You can't hate the homosexuality part of a gay person without hating the person. It would be like saying "I love black people, I just hate dark skin color". Makes no sense. Sexual orientation is an integral part of our make up, and arguably the most complicated aspect of human biology. You can't separate it from the person.
