psychologist used to identify homosexuality as a form of immaturity in which the homosexual person gets psychologically locked into the childhood phase of development in which girl's think boys are yucky and boys feel that way about girls. this is usually a short lived phase and little attention is given to it. although i don't believe this is the only factor in the homosexual mindset i believe it to be a primary one and one that should not have been subsequently dismissed....esp since it was dismissed due to it's unpopularity socially and not because it lacked merit. i don't have the statistics but prior to the gay rights movement the incidence of pedophyllia was significantly higher among homosexuals which lends even more credibility to the supposition that homosexuals lack the desired level of emotional maturity. there is currently a movement to establish pedophylle rights in the same way that gay rights advanced. they are openly stating that they are pedophylles and that they have the right to be so. we are faced with a tremendous threat to the safety of our children if this trend continues. anyone that can't see the negative consequences of this behavior is really deceived. it is totally anti-survival of the species. it is not only a threat to humanity in this realm but it is a threat to the eternal condition of mankind as well.

I would go further and say age is not as much an issue as marital status from a scriptural perspective. And I think when people add "liberal movement" or "conservative movement" to support their idea, it takes away some of the strength of their position.
As others have stated, the law is the law whether one agrees with it or not. I think parents, Christian or not, should make sure their kids are aware of the laws of their state. When I was in high school I had a younger girlfriend who tried to take advantage of my innocence, seriously.
I suspect I could have gotten locked up if I had succumbed. And my girlfriend's mom would have made sure I was locked up. But I never knew it would have been illegal. Thank God I dodged that bullet.
I do believe this particular case has been more sensationalized because the parents of the younger girl are angry about the lesbian aspect. But again, the law is the law.

There is some credence to the theory of emotional immaturity when you look at gay rights activists at work. Their arguments are typically saturated with identity and entitlement, but not very much beyond this except for on rare occasions. I have had to deal with these activists before on a personal level. The emotional maturity is what stood out, but then that might be owed more to the fact they were political activists than the fact they were homosexuals.
Now the issue I see with this theory has to do with the crowds gay men typically run in, or at least what our culture has led us to believe they run in. Gay men specifically.
When I see a man who is openly homosexual, he is rarely afraid of women. He doesn't find them disgusting either. Instead he desires to emulate them. There is so much emphasis on feminine beauty on their part and, let's face it, they are known to be quite skilled in that department to the point they are becoming a professional class in fashion, design, etc.
If homosexuality stems from emotional immaturity, then surely the aversion of the female gender is not related to it. At least not in the stages of life that extend past childhood.
Perhaps it is different among American gay men, but that is doubtful.

A person needs to learn and know their own limitations. This was taking away anothers free will, and teaching them wrongly for this other person a minor is not of age to amke their own free choices as of yet. This what I believe God is very angry over is others taking away others free will. I myself abhor this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And rightfully so
Yes because having information out there for teens who choose to go against their parents wishes and have sex anyways, is better than having them go through with it via trial and error. Would i want my daughter to have sex at 13? No. If she decided to behind my back and against my rules would I at least want her to know about birth control and condoms and such? Yes, absolutely.
Lets be honest here...they were both high school students. I had plenty of free will over deciding whether or not I had sex in high school just like this girl id. Its not like she was forced by a teacher or an actual ault. Trust me being 18 in no way makes you an actual adult maturity wise, youre still a teen.
trial and error (if they haven't had weirdo lesbian and bestiality ideas put into their heads by the All-Powerful Govt ppl have been trained to look to for expert information and validation) usually means boys and girls. getting into trouble at times - YA.
even early same sex stuff is within normal confusion when very young.
you KNOW what i am talking about. usually that trial and error and confusion gets straightened out IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF LIVING, dating and social norms (unless society says anal sex is normal).
and people settle into NATURAL RELATIONS.
if they are encouraged to explore perversion - THEY WILL.
i don't want award-winning NYT touted academic perverts (like Peter Singer, or the late Margaret Sanger) setting the bar for what is okay to experiment with.
i'd rather have them behind the bleachers finding out by trial and error.
stop being intentionally UBERLIBBY (duh )provocative Nautilus.

Nautilus....why do you say these things...you dont fear God do you.
Exodus 22:19
"Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal is to be put to death.
Leviticus 20:13
And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have worked confusion; their blood shall be on them. 13If a man also lie with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be on them. 14And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you
Leviticus 18:23
"'Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.
Leviticus 20
15And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and you shall slay the beast. 16And if a woman approach to any beast, and lie down thereto, you shall kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be on them. 17And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity
Deuteronomy 27:21
"Cursed is anyone who has sexual relations with any animal." Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
Romans 1:27
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Naut, do you believe it is best for people to remain virgins until they are married to someone of the opposite sex (key question to focus on.....virginity)
if not...why not.

Define CAPITAL - the wealth, whether in money or property, owned or employed in business by an individual, firm, corporation, etc.
So capital = money.. Our system is Capital-ism... MONEY-ism.... If the love of money is the root of all evil.. Well.. yea..
Ok.. mini-rant over.
As far as the "liberal movement" comment, I'd have to disagree with you. Keep in mind, this doesn't refer to any political affiliation. The definition of Liberal according to Google is: Open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values.
Scriptural values are unchanging because they are true, and truth by definition cannot change. I think Elizabeth was just talking about how moral relativism is becoming a prominent way of life in our culture, and I agree with her that it is sad.
Nautilus, you've been all liberal-passive-aggressive on sexuality issues continually. unapologetically.
so it's not a stretch to include the passages from God about homosexuality, along with the bestiality prohibitions.
you're cool with gay relations. please remain consistent in your dialogue.
the Bible speaks on anal sex...it's covered by a man lying with a man, and says what they do is detestable.
extrapolate from there. what do you think He means by that?
if it is NATURALLY made to work together sexually, God designed it - the anal area is for the expulsion/excretion of toxic waste.
it involves exit, not entry.
okay? do you understand now?
O Anatomy, why u so baffling?
...
my question about virginity - would you prefer to date/marry a virgin, or would you prefer a woman who was not a virgin?
please elaborate on why or why not.
if you're not cool answering, fine.
it's a reasonable question to ask Nautilus, who has widely ranging opinions on all sexual matters.

I like a great deal of what you said. But the "liberal movement" label is debatable. People usually throw that out as a political statement. And perhaps that was not Elizabeth's intention, but it usually is the purpose when some one is using it.
And while the definition you used might sound bad from the viewpoint of some, there are many different interpretations available. People usually interpret words or phrases to suit their purpose. For instance, when Jesus had very different ideas than the traditional ideas of the religious leaders of His time, one could suggest His ideas were liberal in the views of the traditional religious leaders.
Scriptural values and truth are unchanging, but people's interpretations are constantly changing. I realize there are those who think they understand the truth and want to speak for everybody. But they can just keep thinking that. That's their choice. I'll let the Spirit guide me in that regard.
The bottom line is, everybody has the right to voice their opinion. And we can disagree with each other. It's just been my experience that those who try to broadly judge the principles of others tend to lean heavily toward self-righteousness. Obviously, only God knows our true intentions.

One, the bible speaks directly to man on man sexual activities to extend that to heterosexual relationships as a banned activity is a personal choice/interpretation. As far as would i want to marry a virgin? at this point in my life no. I lost mine back in sophomore year of high school years before I even started going to church. and at this point in my life, ive ecepted most women of the age range i like arent virgins either. Besides i want someone with some experience due to mostly my on various opinions on sex and activities in marriage.
