Say you don't like homosexuality, say you don't agree with the practice, but don't call it unnatural.
Sorry, A rose is still a rose by any other name.
Virtually every species that has a sex practices homosexuality.
Agreed I assume. That reminds me of a pet rabbit I had.
Still is killing your own son/daughter natural? because animals do that as well.
In fact every single human being starts out female and it takes a very specific process at a very specific time to distinguish an embryo as male and if everything doesn't happen exactly right, brain gender or preference may be impacted.
No, humans are not female in the woem, just because they haven't developed a dick yet doesn't mean they are female. All the cells in the baby from day one says wither it's male or female.
That my friend is God at work. There is now strong evidence that a number of social animals use homosexuality as a means to control overpopulation (that is, when a population approaches its carrying capacity the instance of homosexuality increases noticeably.)
Thats interesting. I would need to look up on that.
It makes perfect sense that when Jews numbered in the thousands that "God" informed them it was time go forth and multiply, and clearly homosexuality would have been a wrench in the works. Now that there are 7,000,000,000 of us, perhaps being gay might not be such a sin anymore.
The commandment existed before the Jews. The argument of over population isn't addressed by lets all by gay, it's about not getting pregnant by either banging less or using the pill. by controlling your urges and not having more than 1 child per adult.
And I call B.S. on your calling B.S. Clearly you have NO knowledge of the huge number of intersexed children born every year. As I mentioned before, everyone starts out female. It is guessed that over 2% (some suggest as much as 4%, but that's probably pushing some of the minor deformities) of the population is born with some degree of intersexing, and that for the most part doctor make surgical changes at birth to cover up anomalies without ever telling the parent (except in those cases where the anomaly is significant.) There is clearly a genetic component to homosexuality so indeed God does make Gays and Lesbians, but on top of that, research indicate that Transsexuals have brain structures consistent with their gender of choice and not their somatic sex (literally brain of one sex in body of another.) There are even chimera walking around, people composed of the genetic components of 2 even 3 different fertilized eggs, sometimes even having different genetic sex. When it come to sex and preference my friend, God has an incredible sense of humor and there are literally hundred of combinations and permutations. So when you say Male and Female, its clear that A) You haven't got the foggiest clue of which you speak and B) You put your personal beliefs ahead of any kind of logic, understanding, enlightenment or pragmatic view of the real world in which you live. Silly child.
Yes I am aware there are genetic "freaks" out there, if they have these mutations then feel free bang male or female since they are both. If you are fully male than that is not a moral choice.
It's an interesting point about transsexuals having a female brain. With them they believe they are female trapped in a male body. I am not sure what to make out with that else from if you can swing it (before it's chopped off) then you are still a man in a mans body despite you thinking like a girl. reminds me of seeing lady boys in thailand. strangely "cute" until my wife said what they were.
The men under discussion were essentially going "gay for pay". Again, the men I was thinking about were completely gay for each other.
[On a serious note, I have no idea how some modern denominations rationalize away the above passages. I certainly wasn't able to without just calling the whole thing a load of crap.]
BTW, As a Christian, I love the gay man but I dont want him to butt fuck me. (Love the man, not the sin) I am very surprise you can quote all these passages yet fail to understand that a gay man isn't a natural thing. You really want to have gay as some natural 3rd choice from Male & Female. and that desire it corrupting your interpretation of the verses. I just thought I should provide an counter argument to your views and (IMO poor) arguments.
Nobody ever said that accepting homosexuality and valid human behavior required that you participate in the behavior. I accept that some people find roasting and eating tarantulas positively delicious. You aren't going to see my chomping down any soft-shelled arachnids anytime soon (can a sista get an EEEeewwwwww.) And like you, I've reserved my rectum for one way traffic only. By the way do you think hetero anal sex is deviant?
I wondered about this myself, Yes I loved doing that with an ex gf. I came to the conclusion that the bible doesn't speak against it in the context of Man & Woman so there isn't anything wrong.
I personally just prefer the single use posterior, but that's my preference, I don't get to pave my tastes on others. I like oysters on the half shell too, but I don't think that make me somehow more righteous in the eyes of God. I happen to know a number of Gay and Lesbian ordained ministers. It took years for them to reconcile their natures with their beliefs, but they did, and they're among the most devout, spiritually advanced human beings I've ever met, and you can believe we when I say they do not judge, that they do not judge. Perhaps a little judge ye not might go a long way with the person sitting in your underwear?
Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Mathew 7:1
The above verse is about hypercritical people doing the same thing. Jesus hated that. And those Les & Gay ministers know that.
