I listened to people saying that in the news one of the main topic is homosexuality. Can anybody tell me why that topic became almost number1 in the Bible study chat room? Coming back from 35 years in the jungle among cannibals, I don't understand your thinking as a Christian anymore. Is something wrong with me?

Gay marriage has been legalised in 50 states in America.
It states clearly in the bible it is wrong to be gay.

It wouldn't be half as bad if they legalized bank robbing instead!

No, nothing wrong with you. The Western world seems to have forgotten how to keep our eyes on Jesus, and we become fascinated and obsessed with anything entertaining Satan throws out there to distract us.

Well, the secular world.......across the world, has done a fair job of shoving such immorality down the throats of Christians. It's not like WE petitioned for same sex marriage.

Our government has legalized a sin that is an abomination to God. Do you not understand that this is of great concern to believers?

How did the cannibals approach homosexual behavior in their tribes? Just curious. Did it even exist?

Hope you didn't dine with them........ :) (tongue in cheek there)

Romans 1:18-32
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

2 Peter 2:1-6
1But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

1 Timothy 1:9-11
9understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers,[SUP]b[/SUP] liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound[SUP]c[/SUP] doctrine, 11in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.

1 Corinthians 6:9
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,

Bergoglio a.k.a. Pope Francis

Another illustration from the same article: "The lawsuit came the same week that the city of Houston issued subpoenas demanding that five Christian pastors turn over sermons dealing with homosexuality and gender identity."

To be clear. A person given to the temptation of a homosexual lifestyle can still receive salvation, and go to Heaven. However, once they accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, they must abstain from practicing such a lifestyle, just as anyone else who was formerly in a lifestyle that is displeasing to God. To be clear.

What's the biggest news in Germany today? No idea? Me either. But give a little credit to the concept that the woman who asked is from Germany, so it's probably not a big deal in Germany today. :D

We don't have cannibals here to worry about. So we pick another sin to obsess about. (Cannibalism is a sin, right? Thou shalt not eat thy brother?)

I would close down the church and we would worship privately in our own homes.
I have a serious problem with that! That's exactly what the secular humanists, anti-Christians want. They want us to succumb to their rule of law otherwise lay down and die. A fight's coming. Civil disobedience by Christians is on the horizon.

How do you know if there are cannibals or not in Minnesota? You just got there! lol

Honestly, I live in Philly, so we know there are cannibals among us. Can't remember his name, (I avoid memorizing names of serial killers and mass murderers. They got their 15 minutes of fame, and I refuse to give them another minute), but one of the originators of Earth Day escaped to another country that doesn't extradite, before they found the lovely roasts in his freezer. He really was eating his victims, so I'll never again say we have no cannibals.

That is exactly how it was in the days of Jesus and the Apostles. Churches were in peoples homes. Let us get back to the way the Early Church did it.

It should have already come. We should be boycotting all the big businesses for siding with sodomy. (We do, however, we're so poor no one notices. lol)
