Subject: Homosexuality and Christianity? |
Bible Note: D.a.P: King James 1611 version says,"Leuiticus CHAP.XVII 22.Thou shalt not lie with man kinde, as with womankinde: it is abmination." The Hebrew says Leviticus 18:22 "And with a male, not you shall lie as one lies with a woman; detestable it is." Your understanding of Scripture is fatally flawed! Homosexuality is same sex, sexual relations. This verse leaves no exceptions. The word homosexuality was not used, the sexual act is described in detail! God did not create Adam and Steve! God created Adam and Eve, man and woman, God made them to be sexually expressive in their love for each other, and pleasure, and also reproduce. They sinned, and when sin entered the world everything became open for man to choose to do right or wrong. Where is the credible Medical and Scientific reference that homosexuality is genetic? There is no indisputable evidence for genetic homosexuality. You are incorrect about David and Jonathan 1Samuel 18:1 Jonathan loved David as himself. Their love was as brothers, the language in no way implies this was sexual love! Ruth was Naomi's daughter-in-law!. Jesus Christ did address sexual immorality. In Matthew 5:27-28 Jesus said impure thoughts start the sin. The Jewish law were to stone to death adulters. Homosexuals were regarded as worse! Jesus said to guard our hearts from sin. Jesus never mention sex with animals. Does that make beastuality make it acceptable? You said the Bible has many contradictions and there have been 27,000 editions of the Bible. Give me some proof! To rebut your misinformation, the older manuscripts prove exactly the very opposite! Older manuscripts proved as the scribes copied they were very accurate. In compairing the Dead Sea Scrolls of Isaiah for instance, there is insignificant differences that are even noticeable. The more manuscripts we find, the greater reliablity there is for the Scripture we have. When you say that "Hebrew and Greek can not fully be translated into todays English", are you an expert in either of these languages? The Lockman Foundation (who's forum this is) have many PHD's who specialize in Greek or Hebrew, have translated the NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE. This Bible is the most accurate word for word English translation today. The New International Version (translation)would be the most acurate in thought for thought. Your assumption that we have nothing very reliable is seriously flawed. The fact you use small j for Jesus and a g for God seems to be intentional, am I correct? With the many errors that you have stated in your note, I can fully understand why you might believe that same sex, sexual relations would be acceptable. Romans 1:25 states you "have exchanged the truth of God for a lie,". and verse 27 "And in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the penalty of their error." verse 32"and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them." Now that pretty well describes your note to the full extent I would say. You call yourself "Defender against Prejudice". I ask who are you defending? Against what person's prejudice? You need to change your name to "Defender for defiance against God" When you say God created us in His Image, you have the totally wrong meaning. For God is neither male or female. If you are suggesting that God approves of, or, that homosexuality in any way is in God's created Image, you are in total error! Please allow me to say that God does love you as a man. God calls disobedience, sin. Homosexuality is sin. God calls sinners to stop the lifestyle of sin, and repent. Jesus Christ desires to be your Lord, you can become a follower of Jesus. There are degrees of sin, but all sin is forgiven in the same way. Your support of homosexuality is in direct defiance, and goes against what is taught through out the entire Bible. Either God and the Word of God is right, and you are wrong, or the Bible is full of lies, and there is no God, and you are right. There is no inbetween. You deside for yourself. Is God prejudice against sin? Yes, God is prejudice against sin!Homosexuality is sin, and it is by your choice. Homosexality can be overcome. With God all things are possible! May this bring awareness that God loves you, and is there for you, and will accept all those who come and let the Holy Spirit change their life. This is my prayer for you. justme |
