man, i just said Jesus Christ lived a celibate and unmarried life. if being chaste and unmarried is wrong, then God did something that was wrong, and therefore he wouldn't be God, and we wouldnt even be here in the first place!
thats how its ruled out.
Certainly
"2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains...
um... yea. When in Genesis is says that on the first day God created the heaven and earth etc., that doesnt literally mean a day. it could have been millions, maybe even billions or more or less years. there is no time for God.
Yes, the RCM believes that there same-sex marriage is immoral, although they've reached that conclusion in many other ways that I don't know about... not just the logical reasoning.

im not going to try and convince you about the Bible, but what im trying to say is we're expecting to recieve things from God, wether they be blessings, material needs, revelations etc., without wanting to give anything back, including time, dedication, prayers, acceptance etc.

my theory is that God was closer to those who wrote the Bible and to the prophets than we are. why should God give anyone anything when all we behave like pampered infants? why do we expect to recieve when we dont give?
i think one should think of Luke 6:31 "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise" (Ethic of reciprocity) before taking actions that could be categorized as good or evil. in other words, treat others the way you would like to be treated. upon hurting someone, one can...
well, no offense, but its not like you're accepting his invitation either. see, the problem is that you want a God that fits your own life, even if you do so unconciously, you do. you want a God that fits in with your time schedule, your wants, and your preocupations. hate to burst your line of...
