It seems that a number of churches and denominations these days are wrestling with the issue of homosexuality. Since this is such an emotionally-charged subject, we need to be especially careful when we study what the Bible says about this. For example, some people use Scripture to justify homosexuality, and other people use Scripture to condemn homosexuality. Obviously the Bible does not support both of these viewpoints (because then Scripture would be contradicting itself), so it is important that we carefully study the Bible with an honest desire to find out God's view concerning homosexuality.
Did you suddenly get a guilty conscience and remember Christ's teachings of loving one another and not judging others? After your anti-homosexual, prejudiced, judgemental comments about homosexuals?
You hoist yourself on your own petard by your own words: "Anyone who is prejudiced needs to be far more concerned about his prejudice then about someone elses sin". Look to your own actions and words. You are spreading intolerance and ignorance and encouraging contempt and prejudice towards homosexuals by your posts.
One cure for prejudice is knowledge. I've offered up a few areas you could spend some time researching to increase your knowledge. I also suggest you get to know some average run of the mill homosexuals with an open mind and an open heart.
There are those who will use the Bible to justify committing acts of violence against others in Christian activism, as in the bombing of abortion clinics. There are those who will use the Bible to justify their hatred, and in their twisted reasoning will commit acts of violence against others. In this case, against homosexuals. No one has the right do commit crimes against others. Those who do commit such acts of violence must face the penalty for their crimes.

Homosexuality is promoted by Satan as an attack on the divine institution of marriage and is designed to weaken a nation and bring that nation under judgment. On a more individual level, its purpose is tModerator cut: please reframe/re-word a person and prevent them from being oriented to divine truth.
I've always found it a little amusing that ALL the men of Sodom were gay.
Yet they still managed to procreate..
SenseOMeter = -4
What evidence is there that all the men of Sodom were gay? I don't remember reading that in my bible but you may be more well versed on the scriptures than I am.

Can you point me that direction?
Conclusion drawn from the link you posted:
"Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
All of them wanted to have sex with the angels right? I mean thats what the author of the link you posted is assuming right?
Then all the men in Sodom were gay..
because of the word..
ALL
Now mind you that he took pretty liberal care of the word "Yada".. but I just find it amusing that when he does.. he then draws the conclusion (whether he knows it or not) that all the men in sodom (both young and old.. from all over the city)..

and gay men LOVE to procreate with women!
It don't see where it says they were gay, sorry. And there's a lot of men out there who have sex with men and women. This might be a new concept though....I can find some links on it if you'd like.

So the entire male population of Sodom.. was bisexual.
Oh the argument makes much more sense now!!
Or maybe the story of Sodom had zero to do with homosexuality..

I didn't say that.
You seem to be just trying to sensationalize my comments. The fact that some men wanted to have sex with these men doesn't make them all gay. The fact that some may have been bisexual doesn;t make them all bisexual.
You seemed to have an issue with procreation going on in Sodom and I'm just trying to help you get your mind around the fact that it was possible without everyone in the whole town being either oriented(sexually) one way or the other. Both is possible....and probable.
