Yet again attention needs to be drawn to the fact that one's sexual orientation in and of itself is NOT a sin.
SputnikBoy,
Sexual "orientation" as defined by the homosexual "community" is a made up thing! God did not create sexual orientation differing from that of man being with woman and woman being with man.
God did not say Adam and Steve! God created Adam and EVE!
I'm not going to regurgitate everything I've already said on this issue. I believe what I believe. I'm not interested in these silly cliches about Adam and Steve (sigh) nor am I interested in the unsubstantiated opinions of sanctimonious Bible-bashers. Yes, I am a Christian and a Christian who has to contend with his own sinful nature. It's because I do that I will NOT use the scriptures to condemn anyone else or support the pet hates of other Christians.
Get it straight! Your whole acceptance of this "theory" that people are "oriented" towards the same sex is NOT BIBLICAL!
Prove it.
Homosexuality is a LIE OF THE DEVIL that people buy into!
The devil is influencing thought and people are buying into his lies!
Get it striaght! The bible is clear about the whiles of the devil how he operates!
I wholehearteldy disagree with you.
It's a free country. You have that right. Do you give me that same right to disagree with you? Hmmm ...
God did NOT create man to be with man, and God did NOT create woman to be with women! PERIOD!
God created Adam and Eve. He didn't create anyone from then on. Adam and Eve produced offspring all by themselves.
God created woman out of man to be in co-habitation and reproduce with each other.
For the purpose of reproduction, obviously. Why - and I'm just asking out of curiosity - would it require male and female for recreational sex? I have an enquiring mind (God-given) and am interested in actual logical answers to questions. 'Because God said so' should perhaps satisfy me but it doesn't always necessarily satisfy me. So, why do two people in love have to be of a different gender?
The Holy Word of God teaches that men being with men and women being with women is clearly a SIN! I believe the Holy Word of God! It proves itself true!
But I see nothing in the scriptures pertaining to one's sexual orientation being a 'given' at birth. By the way, do you get as angry when you see someone profaning God's Sabbath? If not, why?

Being born is a biological function that has little or nothing to do with God. God also does not have anything to do with physics, the weather, accidents, and so on. God created everything but He allows the natural flow of things to occur unheeded.
:o :o :o :o :o
You have just proven to me that you defy what the bible teaches and your logic is perverted from that which the bible teaches in regards to sexual behavior and in regards to the laws of nature!
Okay, okay, I'm not deaf. Get a grip on yourself. Where does the Bible refer to the natural laws of nature? Is being born with one arm a natural law of nature? My friend requires a hearing aid to hear. Another friend confesses reluctantly that he has twinges of attraction to the same gender. Are both these things the natural law of nature or is one not? Which one is the sin? You can't reconcile these things with the scriptures, Relic, no matter how desperately you try.
I am not going to bicker back and forth with you who clearly denies what the bible teaches.
I don't ask you to. In fact, I'd much rather you go away and evaluate your own sins if the truth be known.
God teaches us how to resist the temptations of the devil and how to overcome! You are not teaching this! You have another agenda and it is not biblical!
One's sexual orientation is NOT a sin. What one chooses to do with it might be. My agenda, by the way, is not to play God.
You clearly ignore every biblical truth that is placed in front of you!
EVERY Biblical truth? The overwhelming majority of the scriptures presented here have had nothing to do with homosexuality. But they have had EVERYTHING to do with heterosexual sins.
Sad, so sad.
Don't let it get you down. Let God be the judge.
