Topic : 06/06 "I'm Gay, OK?"

As a Believer in Jesus the Christ, I do not self-identify by the Syrian Greek-speaking pagan created hateful epithet, "Christian," when I refer to the "Old Testament" which Jesus himself called the "Old Covenant," I am referring to the writings which the Jews consider to be their Scripture.  

All of The Jewish writings written before 30 AD were referred to as the Old Covenant by Jesus himself. He also referred to the 1st 5 books, traditionally called the books of Moses by many, as the "Law."  

In a way, the "Law" was the same as the Old "Covenant." For those who wish to be believers in Jesus the Christ, they are not required to obey the Pre-Jesus Covenant-Law. But, Jesus said that those who wished to live by the LAW given before he came would be judged by that LAW. He did not do away with that LAW; but, his new Covenant-Law, aka New Testament (not the Bible Collection, but, his commands) was a higher LAW which made the Jewish Law not important for His Followers.  

Christians, especially those who think homosexuality is a sin and say "Because My Bible says so," pick and choose which parts of the LAW in Pre-Jesus time they want to live by. Never mind the fact that they commit lots of those "abominations" listed in the book of Leviticus almost every day. 

It is so gross to compare affection and love between two consenting adults with a person who molests a helpless, scared child.  Do you think that two gay and mutually consenting people can't love eachother?   

Some people think that gay people are just perverts that want nothing but sex with many partners.  That's not true, I know people who are gay and are monogomous and in love. I'm one of them and I've never cheated on my partner who I love very much.  I'm not promiscuous and never have been.  

What's wrong with loving another persons soul regardless of what's between their legs.  The soul lives forever, the body only a matter of decades and I know I'm not going to have a penis after my body dies. My soul will always love my partners soul.  

I did not mention any type of scientific studies in my comment, and I suggest you take a second look. What I said was simply my opinion, like most of us. 

I'd like to know which ones apparentely make you so sure that gay is a orientatation from birth. 

Homosexual folks are pretty consistent in populations world-wide. No matter what country you look at, which belief system people belong to, population size, and whatever other factors you can think of... it's always around 10% of the population that is homosexual. It is normal. Whether you like it or not, it's a natural thing to happen. It's not only a strictly human phenomenon either. Did you know that at certain temperatures you can make groups of male flies form long mating chains? Did you know that there are species of fish and other organisms that can alter their sex to accomodate their community? Ever seen a hermaphroditic banana slug mate with another of its kind, then watch them each chew off the other's penile projection so the other can't mate again? Nature is full of fun quirks, and homosexuality is one of them. 

So what if we don't know what causes it. We'll figure it out someday. Most scientists are split between whether it's caused by environmental pressures or genetic changes. Nature vs. nurture. Homosexuality is a fact of life, and for anyone to deny that is just completely silly.  

Even more silly is for someone to think that their beliefs should come before personal freedom, equality, and respect for our fellows. Marriage should be something that anyone can participate in. It's a union between two people who love each other. I know that's beside the point, but it is very important.  

I totaly agree with you !  

I think that "singling people out of God's love" is like being racist.
