Christians - what is your opinion about homosexuality?

[digimon7068]

i think you're born with your sexual orientation...and i don't have a problem with people being who they are...unless who they are is a serial killer or some other destructive type of person/personality...but gay?? nah...what the heck do i care?? far be it from me to pass judgement on someone for something that seems so intrinsic to their being.

AFeedz sad so. She's never wrong.

I agree with Annie as far as how to study the bible using dispensationalism, and I think that is where she was trying to go. I read a pamphlet on homosexuality and Christianity earlier this week using dispensationalism to justify exactly what she is talking about; she is not making shit up. I don't know about the homosexual part myself because I would have to look myself to post my opinion. I don't have an opinion. You can't just throw up verses from the gospels and the OT and expect things to make sense like that. You'd have to compare scripture to scriputure and be sure you're using the right context and make sure it's addressed to the church to apply it today.

Perfect.. we should end the discussion here.

How do you know she isn't making shit up? You just said "I don't know about the homosexual part myself"


Therefore you cannot know if she is making shit up or not.

I majored in hair-splitting years ago when I went through the Church of Christ system to train preachers. We used to make arguments similar to Afeedz (but typically in the other direction) all the time.

If you are willing to make context arguments and split hairs over specific words and the original translation, you can basically infer anything you want.

I don't see how you can come to any other conclusion (infer anything you want) unless you believed and could trace back an inspired version of manuscripts that were translated into English, that never went through Rome.

I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt; I trust her.
