Can a gay person be a "good" Christian?

[Yes]

In other words, you're calling me a liar. Splendid.

Tell me, where did I say you were a "liar"? Do you think I am speaking the truth about homosexuals? Yes or no? If you say no, then are you not calling me a liar? Do you see what you are doing? You are trying to bully me into not being able to speak my beliefs.

You get to ridicule me for my speaking my beliefs. How is it that you get to do that?

I don't need you to tell me what the rules are. I know I can report what this person is doing.

 

[Yes]

I know, it demonstrates how sickening the people who wrote that story were.

I reported this.

I wanted everyone and anyone to say whatever they wanted, but you all want to stifle me.
So now, I will report your errors.

Tell me, how is it okay that you can call the writers of the Bible sick and think you can get away with it?

 

[Yes]

Yes, the male and female bodies compliment each other. But homosexual love is also natural and healthy, for those who have that orientation. In this case (as in so many other cases) science trumps the bible. The bible may be clear on what it teaches (such as the world being created 6000 years ago in 6 days), but what it teaches is not necessarily congruent with reality.

Is this reportable? You said the Holy Bible is not congruent with reality. How is it you can say that about the Bible, but I cannot say what the Bible says is wrong?

I have no idea what you're talking about. You can say that what the bible says is wrong anytime you want to do so.

I'm not ridiculing you for speaking your beliefs. I'm disagreeing with what you're stating as fact.

You need to find different language for disagreeing with what I say.

I'm not ridiculing you for speaking your beliefs. I'm disagreeing with what you're stating as fact.

So then, are you ADMITTING that what you say is NOT fact?

Is this reportable? Someone is lying about Jesus, but I cannot say they are lying.

Look. It. Up. Jesus says not one thing about homosexuality. Go ahead. Report me. I'm not breaking any forum rules with the statement "Jesus says not one thing about homosexuality."

Is this reportable? I am told to learn another language.

If you want to discuss the bible, it's prudent to know something about the languages in which the bible was written. Greek, in this case.

 

[Yes]

You need to find different language for disagreeing with what I say.

Show where I called you a liar. You are pretty sure that I have to learn a different language to talk to you, because you know your false teachings about the Bible will be protected. However, if I am banned from here, you all will have missed discussing with someone who knows what the truth is about the Bible, and not just a bunch of opinions by the unknowledgeable.

 

[Yes]

If you want to discuss the bible, it's prudent to know something about the languages in which the bible was written. Greek, in this case.

The Bible is in English. God brings His message to people in their language.

We do not have to learn another language to understand God's Truth. You saying we do is not from God.

 

[Yes]

Look. It. Up. Jesus says not one thing about homosexuality. Go ahead. Report me. I'm not breaking any forum rules with the statement "Jesus says not one thing about homosexuality."

What don't you get? I said YOU GET to say what you believe the Bible says, but you will not allow me to tell you what I believe the Bible says.

You admitted it here yourself. The act of sex between two men is worse than sex between a man and a woman.

You conveniently forgot where I mentioned "but not for the reasons you think," and then blithely skipped over the explanation. For that culture the rape of a male and the rape of a visitor is worse than the rape of a female citizen.

 

[Yes]

When two people live together without marriage, or just having sex together, this is called fornication. However, when two come together in marriage, this is a Divine binding, and that is what marriage is.


Genesis 2:18-25 is the telling of marriage as a Divine binding. God presented Adam with Eve and established the first marriage.


Genesis 2:24 shows the basis for all marriages from then on. “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.”


When Jesus was asked about divorce, he quotes this scripture, and regards it to a legal, binding relationship of marriage.


See Matthew 19:6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."



When God revealed the law to Moses, there were many regulations regarding marriage.


A man who seduced a virgin and had sexual relations with her before marriage was required to pay the father of the girl and was required to marry her if the father permitted, see Exodus 22:16. Sexual relations with a virgin pledged to another resulted in death by stoning of both, See Deuteronomy 22:23-24. These laws revealed the importance of marriage and the sin of premarital sex.


Malachi 2:14 calls marriage a covenant. It is clear that sexual relationships between a man and a woman should occur only after a legal covenant was established.


All marriages, whether only through the couple’s government or not, establishes oneness from that point on, the lives of both spouses are affected in a profound way, concerning each other, and their children, property, finances, etc.


It is clearly shown that marriage is an act that is part of natural life, as is sexual intercourse. Marriage can be defiled, as can sexual intercourse.


Whether a person is a believer or not, does not define sin, marriage, or a defiled marriage.

You do not think it is plain because you do not obey.

You think it is plain, because you don't study.

Jesus explained that sex is only between a married man and woman.

Reference, plz. (God! I get so tired of asking!)

You have learned to use a Greek word once in a while to try to cover up the truth.
We are English speakers. We English speakers can properly convey our feelings and actions in our own language.

Apparently not... you're conflating several different types of love for which there is no English equivalent. Therefore, the Greek is used to make clearer -- not "cover up" what's really taking place.
