Could this be the new trend for Gays and Christianity?

Post #1

Post by Greatest I Am »



I have never though that Gays should be discriminated and denigrated by all the religions that do so.

To me, sin has to have a victim and with adult gays, there is none.

Could this be the new trend for Gays and Christianity?

I hope so.

Do you?

How utterly immoral.

The vicarious sacrifice of Jesus was refused by God. As it should have been. It was immoral.

Why have you forsaken me is answered here.

Pro 21:3 To do justice and judgment [is] more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

Psa 49:7 None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

To think that a God needs human sacrifice to forgive man is just too stupid and barbaric to consider.

Sacrificing ones self to ones self is also illogical.

I guess that when someone becomes homophobic, logic and morals go out the window.

This is not debate. It is the recitiation of a creed.
More specifically, even as a creed, it is a literalist expression of sin and atonement theology, only one of several options within christianity.

As a reminder, let me point out the guidelines for the Christianity and Apologetics Forum.

http://debatingchristianity.com/forum/v ... php?t=9741
1. We are debating Christianity, pro and con, for and against, not debating with the assumption that Christianity is true. Please realize that people on the forum are from all worldview backgrounds and do not necessarily share the same assumptions.

2. Avoid using the Bible as the sole source to prove that Christianity is true. However, using the Bible as the only source to argue what is authentic Christianity is legitimate.

3. For factual claims like the existence of individuals, places, and events, the Bible can be considered as providing evidence, but not necessarily conclusive evidence.

4. Unsupported Bible quotations are to be considered as no more authoritative than unsupported quotations from any other book.

5. Please avoid "preaching" and using the forum as simply a way to blast people with the gospel message. This is a debating forum, not a convenient place to overtly proselytize.

6. Realize that most participants here are strong debaters and have a vast knowledge of Christianity and the Bible (including non-theists). If you make any claims, be ready to support your claims with evidence if asked. Non-Biblical evidence would go far among non-theists.

7. For debates purely on theology with the assumption that the Bible is an authoritative source, please consider posting in the Theology, Doctrine, and Dogma subforum.

Some of the recent debate has been over whether homosexuality or homosexual acts should be considered sinful. That can certainly be debated within this forum. However, if a member wishes to debate this question under the assumptions that the Bible is authoritative (which does not necessarily include being inerrant), then the Theology Forum might be more appropriate.

Your right it does not. It just shows your backward and immoral thinking.
No, it doesn't show anything. It's not an argument. It's just a label.

Are you even trying to address my argument? It sounds like you're going to, but then you never do. I can't tell if you're begging the question, or just ignoring the question.

Call what you want. It is more then just another theology; homosexuality just like adultry are sins in the christian belief.

The blood of Jesus is the solution according to God's Word to which many of us believe in.

Sorry can't help you.

1 Corinthians 2:14 (New King James Version)
14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

You keep saying they are sins but never tell us why.
Do so if you know and are not following dogma blindly.
