Christians - what is your opinion about homosexuality?

[AFeedz]

Prove it

Both parts

The word homosexual was translated from the Greek 'arsenokoites'. It's pretty much a made up word and appears nowhere besides twice in the writings of Paul.

Because people think the word was formed by merging the Greek words for "man" and "bed", some people like to infer some type of romantic love between men onto the meaning of the word. It really makes no sense though that he'd make up a word with such a meaning, considering Greek tradition had a few words for homosexual acts and romantic love between men, so there would've been no reason to make one up.

Most theologians would disagree with you. They studied all day, there whole lives. Now your claiming to know what the Bible "actually says". What if you have changed the scriptures to say what your agenda is. I mean you can't deny the fact NT talks about same sex relationships not being ok. Now do I claim they will go to hell, I sure hope not. I wish nobody goes to hell, not a great place.

And yet you took the time from your busy schedule of YouTube appearances to contribute.

D00d! Accidently being an extra or background guy walking by is almost as cool as walking in the background of a local news-cast, stop picking on him!

Hmmmm odd, I have never once heard a single pastor, minister, pope, alter boy, choir member, or anyone every say that the bible says being a homo is ok. But i guess some of you are just much better at understanding god than ANY OF THEM.

But, yeah whatever, thanks for clearing up what no one devout christian has before...

Hey everyone, god says its cool to be a fag! So Pick3, your safe!

Hmm...You know what i have heard alot of pastors and ministers say? Give your 10% to the church.....

(so they can drive a cadillac and wear a rolex)

your questionable because "so and so" say it's true, which is meaningless in itself, doesn't serve as any type of argument.

lol, name one not part of emergent church

I don't need to name one. I'm sure Google can give you thousands of pages saying what I'm saying. I'm not making this shit up as I go, but thanks for giving me so much credit.

And about your previous posts, any comment I've had about an anti-gay NT quote, has been a factual problem with it, like a word actually not meaning what the English translation says. Not once have I said "oh, I just personally don't interpret it to mean that"

The greeks and romans regularly practiced homosexuality....practically to the point of embracing it. Saturnalia? Probably almost as gay as the rainbow

I'm guessing the anti homosexual movement gained steam much later on in history.

That isnt the point, my statement wasnt a statement of proof, it was just an observation. So no need to jump my shit over a single comment within a half assed debate in which NO ONE has produced any facts.

Most people look at that time frame as some of the most sinful of all history. Also because the Greeks mainly worshiped multiple gods which were not a part of Christianity. Obviously this would lead most people to see that most of what they took part in was all sinful.

It is sad there are some churchs that are bad apples. They use God's name to get people to give lots of money so they can buy nice cars and suits all for the cause of Christ.

This is why I am careful when we look for a church. We look for a place involved in giving back to community, and to the world. Right now we are building a home for a single mom and her kids. Awesome if you ask me. So yeah, there are some bad churchs, but I found a great one.
