Tell me why do homosexuals constantly push their sexuality in hetrosexuals faces? I don't give a damn whether they are homosexual or hetrosexual quite honestly. We don't have parades flaunting hetrosexuality so why should homosexuals flaunt it? Their sexuality is a private thing, why can't they keep it like that? Doesn't it enter their tiny minds that the rest of the world just isn't interested?

It is unnatural. And promoting homosexuality as normal is even more sin upon sin.

It is a choice. Either walk in the flesh or in the spirit of God .

All sinners are walking in condemnation. The word is clear. God has sent his son Jesus who overcame all sin and we who are sinners make that choice to repent and walk in the spirit and have eternal life in Christ.

I do not condemn you. Jesus did not condemn you. It is the sin that separates us from God . God's love for all sinners will stand for he has created us.

God is a God of love . This life is a like the flicker of a candle compared to all eternity. It passes quickly.

If asked if you could do so without invoking your Bible. Clearly you cannot.

Yes they do. It's called Mardi Gras, Spring Break, etc. Or any Friday/Saturday night at your local hook up bar will have the same affect. Or a locker room, or the military, etc.

You don't realize that heterosexuality is in your face 24/7 because it's so common it doesn't register.

As for the story of Sodom - they weren't homosexuals. They were straight men intent on raping strangers. I guess you still haven't read Judges 19 and the story of the Levite stranger?

Here you go:

Judges 19 ESV - A Levite and His Concubine - In those - Bible Gateway
Do you realize that in the old testament they were sinners who needed to give a sacrifice in the temple ? It is the history of man and God and that sin was apart of man since the fall of Adam and Eve.

Jesus was the final sacrifice for sinful man. Jesus overcame sin on the cross for all who accept him as their Savior.

I can. It is unnatural to those who have common sense. To have sex with a body part that is to be used to eliminate waste from the body is unnatural.

It's not unnatural, since it's found throughout nature. Apparently you can't even grasp the English language, let alone Hebrew or Greek. If God opposed gays so much, perhaps he shouldn't have created over 1000 animals who readily engage in same-sex behavior. Part of God's design, animals prove it.

Being gay is not a choice. If it were, you would be able to turn gay for a day, and then turn back to straight. I guarantee you can't do that. By the way, when did you choose to be straight? Please describe in detail the mental process and decision making you went through to decide to be straight.

You don't believe God , why should I think you would believe me.

More heterosexuals engage in that form of sex than gays do. Why do I not see you throwing constant attacks at those deviant, disgusting heterosexuals? All you criticize are gays who are much less guilty of that "sin" than straights.

And FYI, being gay isn't all about sex.
