Here we go Bumah, not that you care, but here is one of several passages related to homosexuality.
The Holy Bible: the new Testament, New International Version
Book: Romans 1: verses 26-27

"Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men , and received in themelsed the due penalty for their perversions."

31-32 "they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things, but also approve of those who practice them"




King James Verions:

"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another: men with men working that which is unseemly and receing in themselved that recompence of their error which was meet."

A few verses later, it says (verses 31-32):

Without understanding, convenant breakers without natural affection, implaceable unmerciful: Who knowing the judgement of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."


it also calls them haters of God, inventers of evil things, and many other lovely name.

 

and some more from the NIV (New International Version)

1 Timothy 1:9-11
"realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God..."

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

 

I've got to get involved in this...

How about this guys..and I dont mean any disrespect...

**** Christianity. **** your bible. **** your quotes.
They mean NOTHING...only to those who BELIEVE in where it comes from.

If you dont like gay people, you dont like gay people. Thats your opinion...and its not wrong. Its not right...but its not wrong. You can hate gays like you hate blacks or whites or anyone else. Its all hatred.

The funny thing is, you can stand behind your oh-so-precious bible and actually use it to preach hatred. Reminds me of the idiots using Islam to spread terrorism...pathetic.

But like I said, dont take it the wrong way. You want to hate? Hate!

My opinion is pretty far fetched as well...
Homosexuality is a disease. It is not developed at birth, but rather through personal experiences that create this mental disease. It is a sexual craving/deviance that these people now can satisfy openly. Thats all. Can it be cured? I think so. I also think that half of the people who THINK theyre gay just desire to be different, and this is their outlet. It is now trendy to be gay.

Call me crazy, I dont care...its my opinion. We're all entitled to one. If you suck dick, then go for it, whatever floats your boat. I may give you a funny look...but hate you? Why?

How you can hate someone you dont even know...well, thats beyond me. I am with Bumnah on this one...I just dont get it. Dont agree with homosexuality? Thats fine. "Fags should burn in hell?" Sounds to me like some people need to look at the lighter sides of life.

And Bumnah is Bumnah...he sits on a horse. Thats how its always been, whats so surprising now? I dont see the big deal...

 

i agree that to say "hey, you're a fag and you're gonna burn in hell" is wrong. You're passing judgement on someone which is completely up to God, not you. but those are strictly my beliefs, and i'm not trying to push them on you.

those people who use the Bible to preach hatred and those who use the koran to preach terrorism are minorities in their respective religions.

 

Dont do that, dont shove all Christian is one pile. Just becuase one person (or a few people) of a certain religion think something, dont shove the rest in the same pile.

 

newgsrdriver: You say "**** the bible" and "I dont mean any disrespect" in the same post!?!? Dude! This shiat is getting to deep now.

Politics and religion make stange bedfellows. This thread needs to end.

 

i dont hate.

 

Im sorry if you take offense dude, but thats how it is. Its just a book to me, the same as if I said f*ck the Joy Luck Club. If you base your life around the writing of Amy Tan, well...sorry dood!

I just dont get it...your bible is preaching what is oh-so-wrong, right there, and people use those "judgements" to make up a statement such as "all fags should burn in hell"...

I cant believe you "enlightened" people dont see whats wrong with that.

And Yianni...I dont agree with Christianity. Thats why I said not to take this as disrespect...Im not attacking THEM personally, Im attacking the "word of god" that they quote as if its the be-all end-all of explanations. I dont agree with any religion per say, but Christianity to me is just completely ridiculous.

 

Be a man, bend for a bud :thumbup:

 

You can go ahead and say, i dont agree, etc etc, but saying its completely ridiculous isnt much better than saying, your going to H E double hockey sticks for not believing in Jesus Christ. What we need here is to be understanding people....

I rather us keep our religious opinions out of this whole thread, or any thread for that matter, cuz its the one subject that can get nasty really quick.

Anyways, back to the homogays..... these two gay guys came to my work last night to get a Sony PDA, and when they went to pay, their checkbook had both their names. I thought that was kinda, gay...
