It's the agenda to make the sexual perversion Of homosexuality a d other related wickedness acceptable and approved in our society..as a general rule... but when you consider how it's influence is being seen in the Church of God. ..that's when it really becomes offensive to godly people...as it was written about righteous Lot..his righteous soul was vexed by this sort or evil.
Thanks (for your clarification)! :)

I wouldn't know what the (gay propaganda ) but I tihnk there is a difference in believing they were born that way and using that as an excuse.
If a gay believes it's genetic that is one thing it's another entirely if they use that as an excuse to live that way with no accountability
Where do you think you got the idea that it's genetic? Not from the bible..right? And it is the foundation of many lies they are telling to pervert our society. . As far as trying to rationalize the issue and accepting this lie as part of my logic...I don't see any reason to believe something that is so clearly a lie..I can't allow myself to reason with you in that error. The fact is that God's word says it's unacceptable to Him...as a believer or a nonbeliever and that's what the world needs to hear..not this idea that they are really born to be a sexual deviant.

Ok is there is a more respectful thing to address them as? calling them gays or homosexuals doesn't feel right to me
Is using the biblical terms ok..or is that not politically acceptable?

Again you are left with the logic that sexual perversion is a birthright for some and not for others ..that's illogical .. and clearly based on the common attempt in our society to justify this perversion as acceptable.. nothing more that gay agenda propaganda that twist the truth into a thousand lies.
Clearly sexual perversion runs rife through our social order, did not your other thread attempt to highlight this fact? Saying something is natural is not necessarily an attempt to justify it either, for we know that the natural man is enmity to God. We are all born perverted toward God. It is a spiritual condition, is it not? This perversion toward God manifests many ways, I would think. And yet homosexuality is not something that everyone "suffers" from, and could be genetically determined to an extent. Saying that is a possibility does not mean that other deviations are necessarily determined genetically, nor does it excuse sin. We are all prone to sin. Right? It is part and parcel of being human. To say that is not an attempt to justify sin any more than saying homosexuality could be genetically influenced is. Everyone is born with gender, and most have a sexual drive, which is pretty primal, and very much genetically determined.

Whether it's genetic or not I do not know I do not claim to know why certain desire certain things also even if it is so clearly a lie to you it may not be so clear to others as everyone has a different level and type of understanding.

Of course it's a attempt to justify this deviant behavior..and any man or woman is offered deliverance from sin, if they will admit there condition...those who promote lies to these people like this and allow them to deny their need for Christ ..leave them in bondage to their sins...

Politically acceptable?
i don't care about politics
So biblical terms are ok to use? Good because sometimes those harsh terms are needed ..to show God's attitude toward a issue.

So where do we go for absolute truth? Seeing men get things so Confused and mixed up? I believe there is a place where we can know the truth and that truth will set folks free.. do you believe that?

The bible defines the origin of ppl lusting after the same sex sin, but we all sin and thus this does not describe the root cause of why some have such desires and some don't.

The truth indeed sets us free however there are different levels of the truth we are able to understand at the level of maturty we are at and thus while some can clearly see the truth behind the truth others cannot yet.

I do and many of those terms I consider myself because I am a sinner too I am flawed I rebel against God sometimes I lack his love I lack his heart, but I will never call anyone else those things. If you are fine with doing that then that is between you and god but that just isn't me I want to treat all with respect no matter how evil they are or how dark their hearts are. This is how God taught me to be and the love for God and all others compels me to do so.
I know the path I must follow and if this bothers you I cannot help that

What lies are being promoted, Mitspa? That sexual perversion is rife in society? That people are born bent toward sin? I think I made those points very clear. Why do you pretend I have not? There is something wrong with your attitude. Being human is a genetic thing, you know. Humans are bent toward sin. Does that justify it in your mind? Will you say I am trying to justify it just because it is an undeniable fact? LOL. You can't see the forest for the trees.

Fair enough...but as it relates to this issue I don't believe a honest and even basic search of the scriptures would allow us to buy into the idea that some folks are born with a certain gene to make them gay ...in effect making them less responsible to God for their sins than other sinners.

Ok you are a sinner in the flesh...but you are not in the flesh and are not subject to the flesh as a spirit filled believer ...God giving you the grace that teaches you to deny ungodliness and power over sin...not grace to teach you ungodliness and to submit to sin.... So their is deliverance from sin and the lust of the flesh in Christ...that's what a person in bondage to sin needs to know....not that they was born to be a slave to a certain sin ... There is a point when we have to tell them the truth and not bring ourselves out of the position Christ died to give us. I am not a slave to sin , because of Christ and His grace has taught me to live godly in this present evil age. That's the message of the gospel.

There is a huge difference between the fact that we are all born sinners and trying to make a special case for gays as being born with a "gay" gene ... there bye making them less responsible for their behavior ....and that's exactly what is being done with the whole nonsense about the "gay" gene ... and again the logical conclusion is that every pervert has some special gene to excuse their behavior ...any honest person can see that's the agenda at play with this insane idea that folks are born gay...ITS A LIE ...period

I explained my motive for it in the op. I do agree that some intentionally post threads about sensitive subjects just to cause trouble but I am not one of those kinds of people. If you want to delete this thread by all means go ahead I got the help I needed and there was actually a good discussion which is rare in the bible discussion forum
Not at all. I am not here to delete your post or any ones else when they are civil. I was just making a point of when this topic is posted it does 9 out of 10 times becomes 1. your gay bashing" 2. Your supporting sin". But you can post what ever you like . As long as it meets the rules even if I think there could be a motive... I could be wrong :) that is something you do not hear much on here lol

So I am on another forum sometimes and on there someone started a thread about the gays more specifically why they lust after the same sex.
Now I believe they are born with such desires and has to do with the genetic make up, they flipped out.
And so my reply was this
I'm sorry if i upset anyone with my remark of being genetic I will not deny it is a sin but my issue with it is this if it is not something they are born with than why do they have such desires? I doubt they can suddenly just choose to like the same sex, I mean I can if I wanted to choose to be sexually attracted to a fishing pole but if such a desire was never there to begin with it won't work.

If I chose to I too could choose to be sexually attracted to other men but in the end I would only be grossed out because no matter how much i would want to Theoretically speaking that is if such a desire was never there to begin with it's futile. Please note I am not here to promote the gay agenda or to promote the gay gene or support their lifestyle I am merely discussing these things to find the truth of the matter.
If it is not genes and seeing how it choosing to be gay would in fact imply first that the desire to be with the same sex had to be there to begin with even if it's only a little then what is the cause of it sin? I don't think it's sin because we all are sinners

Maybe I am out of league here? Is there biblical evidence that would explain the desires of the flesh for the same sex and and am i entering dangerous waters that I am not spiritually mature enough to tackle? And also this is not a thread to talk bad or to bash the gays and I will not tolerate such behavior either if I see ppl turning this into another sword to the neck for the gays I will have the mods delete this thread the last thing we need is another war thread
