Hi there! I've had these feelings building up inside me for a while now and I thought I better get them out there and maybe talk about them and the like.
I've seen a lot of threads on the forum dealing with homosexuality and masturbation and the like; and it really hurts me seeing all these people posting how gays are evil and sinful and need to repent or burn in hell, and pretty much the same thing about masturbation.
The way I see things is like this; about masturbation, as far as I know God only smote one person for the act, and that was Onin, and He smote him because He actually told him to use his sperm to birth a child and upon masturbating Onin killed the sperm the Lord told him to use, knowing full well what he was doing.
So, really, that means that unless God has specific plans for your sperm, masturbation isn't a sin...
And regarding homosexuality; I, as a Christian, choose to follow what Christ taught. Christ never opposed or said anything about homosexuality. True, the Bible does state that it is a sin, however, it is not what Christ taught. Christ referenced most if not all of the important parts of the Old Testament, and as I said before, said nothing about homosexuals. And the hypocritical stance some Christians take towards them is appalling! I've heard Christians insulting gays and saying how evil they are and how they're going to Hell and I find it absolutely disgraceful and I believe Christ would as well!
Christ taught "Love your neighbor as yourself", he did not teach "Love your neighbor as yourself. Except gays and fat people as they commit gluttony or those who masturbate."
Well that's all I have on the subject and I thank you for your time reading all this.
