What if someone is homosexual but does not have a burning lust? Does that still make them wrong?
How is homosexuality a vile affection?

The bible makes comments based on circumstances, no where does it have a flat out "No, this is wrong". Until that happens, it is unknown what the true message is due to the fact the many translations of it may have changed over time.
Even if the bible did issue a flat out NO, do you think it is still right that the government should suppress the rights of homosexuals? Or that the Church should support suppressing the rights?
Religious intolerance if the real angel of death. |
Duncan,
We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one I guess. You can find sources on the Internet that will agree with most anything you want to believe in. That doesn't make it right in my opinion. The Bible is plain and simple. Read it for yourself. There are several versions on the net if you don't have access to one. It doesn't matter what the government does or doesn't do. They are not the ultimate authority. They can legalize murder if they want to but that will not make it right. The Church should preach what is Biblical. The Church doesn't and can't suppress anyones rights. No Church is going to send people to someones house and prevent them from sinning. Homosexuals have the right to do whatever they please. That doesn't make it right. Adultery is perfectly legal. That doesn't make it right. No Church will show up to check and see who people go to bed with. We have free will. As far as your sig and religious tolerance, Religious Tolerance used to mean tolerating all other beliefs. Seems today everyones beliefs are tolerated except Bible believing Christians.
