hmmm, going against nature itself isn't the worst thing in the world? Using your body for something it wasn't really designed to do? Regardless if you are still capable of doing it and regardless if it looks right and feels good to those who do it, still doesn't make it right. It's 100% wrong. God's word says so, and I wouldn't take God's word lightly.

I understand on this site it's not so prevalent, but in general I see it a lot. Like WBO who base just about everything on homosexuality.
I didn't say it was right. But what I'm saying is it seems today a lot of people in the Christian community want to blame the spread of sin on homosexuality. What about murderers? Rapists? Those who openly attack the church?

Sorry, I have to agree.
Homosexuality is a sin, but sometimes I feel like Christians are flashing neon "SINNER RIGHT OVER THERE!!!" signs above homosexuals as they rush from the arms of their coworker-sweetheart back to a wife and kids. Or as they're picking out a new bedspread for their new bed, big enough for two live-in lovers. Or as they're unwrapping a condom to practice safe sex with someone they just picked up at the local bar.
Homosexuality is listed right alongside other sexual sins, but a lot of people don't act like it is.

Ohhh ok I get you. No, the spread of sin doesn't depend upon homosexuality. homosexuality is just a part of it. All the horrible things and seducing spirits we are witnessing these days are tactics of satan to draw people into the lake of fire where he's goin, homosexuality is just one part of those things.

I think most homosexuals are born gay.
Where the issue comes in is thinking that you were born perfectly. We were ALL born sinful and spend most of our lives trying to defeat our nature through Christ.
I agree with you guys. We're a bit too homo-crazy. Although some churches are into gay clergy now and are preaching this nonsense about being gay not really being a sin. Perhaps everyone else is just trying to counteract it? lol
My church leans a bit older. We don't really talk about gays. All we ever talk about is evolution and eeeeevil scientists lol

Then why do people keep starting new threads about it? Mentioning something over and over and saying "why so much attention" is an odd way of NOT calling attention to it? Is homosexulaity just the flavor of the month?
How about starting some threads on how drugs and alchohol or child abuse tear apart famalies and are sins that affected dozens of people you come in contact with or more.
Or what about straight people who are in sin.....adultry, pornogrpahy
There ARE sooooooooooooooooooo many other sins that we could draw attention tot hat are just as rampant.
If thats what really needs to be done.

I guess I agree to an extent but not completely. It needs to be talked about and no sin should ever be ignored, there are bigger fish to fry but this one could actually bring many people to the kingdom which as christians isn't that what we are supposed to do? lift jesus up and have others draw to him? last I checked thats what the B-I-B-L-E says 
anyways the message that needs to be preached though is not one of how horrible homosexuality is but how not to hate those who choose this lifestyle... God hates sin.... not sinners. Love those who sin, to be christian is to strive to be christ like and if we do that we will be able to better love those people. You can love someone with not approving of every choice they make. I mean i hear so many hate messages on homosexuality. God didn't tell us to hate ever in the bible he said love the unlovely. Bees will draw in closer if you are sweet like honey

Great article about a former gay activist. Of course it is written by a current gay activist, so the perspective on it is interesting.
Anyway, good reading. Shows how we really can't communicate across the aisle on this issue without God's help. We're speaking totally different languages.

It is sin, something God tolerates, God does not end your life because you sin, but sin and wrongdoing, can cause problems and hurts, destroy relationships and trust, that can never be mended.
I had a guy friend in school, growing up who was likeable, but later on he became gay, living with a male partner, I was sad because he could have had the potential to be a good husband, and we were close friends, but will he ever have the chance to be with me, or any woman who respects her body and heart in any way, NO.
After having, I am sorry for the graphic language, but this is reality, but after having had another male's penis in his ass, how could I or any woman for that matter, accept or create a normal, healthy, godly relationship. I guess it is possible, but not for my faith level. I could not ever have a healthy marriage, or sexual intimacy with a person who has done that. It is way too gross. I know God forgives and heals, just like with divorce and other instances of separation.
Even my own wicked, insane mother has taken glory and pride in trying to force me to be with this male friend I describe because he has mostly been nice to me, except when I rejected his offer of love, because he has chosen to be gay, and live a homosexual lifestyle, despite, love, acceptance, prayers, and encouragement from strong female, girl friends, and good influences being around him.
I pray you make the good, and peace giving decision for your life on this issue. And that God surrounds you with protection, to not make you doubt or waiver. And you know why, because Jesus says so, and that is what Jesus wants. You believe in Jesus correct......I think in the beginning, in Genesis, the first book of the bible, before man even had the inclination or thought of being "gay", the word probably did not even exist, God did not make us that way, so what gave homosexuals the thought to even act that way. It does not make sense.
God Bless you.
And thanks for letting me share my opinion, I often go unheard, despite, that I live like God wants me to about 82.5 % of the time.
For example, I stood by this friend when he wanted to be healed, and listend to his cry, and talked with him for years, but now it is over. God, the Holy Spirit has said drop it, and do not let others force me back into slavery.
