When you can demonstrate that there is actual harm in a loving same sex relationship< I will acknowledge "sin." YOU CAN'T. Until then all we see is prohibitions on specific practices of idol worship.

Seriously. How ridiculous an argument can one come up with to avoid admitting sin is sin. So to G-d, it's only a sin if it's done with idolatrous worship, then? So tell me: where is the temple now? Peace

No, it is "sin" if it causes harm. What did you think Paul was talking about when he said that "all things are lawful, not all things are beneficial?"

all forms of militant sexuality is and always was dangerous and harmful .. history of it is all that should ever be needed to prove it. but that would require a lot of intellectual honesty, which our society will never be know for .

Ah, there you are ...still active on this thread but still unwilling to answer the question that I've asked of you several times. AND, it relates to the above. WHERE in scripture do we find opposition to same-gender sex practices that ARE NOT related to idolatry and temple prostitution? Where are we told, from scripture, that homosexuality is a sin? In fact, WHERE in scripture do we EVEN find the word "homosexuality" OR its equivalent definition (as per OUR present-day meaning of the word) in Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek?

Just give me such a text and I'll leave you alone . . .maybe ...

It wasn't that. Or do you not know that whatever you join yourself to, you become one with that thing? Peace

I answered it before in the myriad of other threads you spiritual voyeurs brought up before, and you know it. Peace

I'm just asking for ONE Bible text ...that should take you no more than a couple of minutes to provide.

Just do the right thing, Rbbi1, and admit that there IS no such Bible text . . .

And, by the way, I didn't start this thread.

What is "militant sexuality"? And what does it have to do with a same sex committed relationship?
