lolol so you hear the voice of Jesus in your head? And how exactly do you know you can trust yourself? Maybe you just have schizophrenic tendencies? Why would Jesus single you out and speak to you directly? Why are you more important than any other human being? What makes sense to me is that you're imagining this in an arrogant attempt to feel like you're more special than any other person, or you're delusional.

Hi Columbus;3860113, since you are online I would like to share my church stance on this topic.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is against same sex attraction and same sex marriage. I believe God is the author of the definition of marriage. In Genesis Chapters two and three. Adam was created and God said it is not good for man to be alone so He created an help meet. He called her Eve (The Mother of all living). God married Adam and Eve and when they left the garden they had children. This Is where it starts and ends with me.
I have two dear friends that are engaged in same sex marriage. I love them both very much. I do not believe in hate, bullying or using disparaging words toward all those of same sex attraction.
Greetings Norman. Welcome to RF!
I'm quite aware of what LDS and most other denominations teach.
To me, it's solid evidence that they are wrong about many important things. I understand that ancient people held these beliefs. But they are still just plain wrong.
A clear eyed look at the reality of the human situation will show anybody that the primitive beliefs of the olden days were not delivered by God but invented by human beings.

Well, gay people tend to live gay lifestyles, which is a sin in any bible I've read.

I thought it mentioned abomination and death, not hell specifically.

You know...I have been out of the closed for around 2 years now and I still have not figured out what this supposed lifestyle is meant to be. Do we special houses or something?

Doing the naughty with a person of the same sex without the decency to hide it from your family, friends, and followers (for all those upstanding gay preachers out there that choose to remain anonymous).

Well surely doing the dirty in private without announcing it should count.

But announcing yourself as gay implies it! All the horrid ideas and images racing into the minds of the pure followers of the One True God! The horror! :thud:

Announcing it indicates physical and romantic attraction you dirty dirty sex obsessed people
No, it doesn't.
Where is the "gay lifestyle" mentioned in the Bible? What is the "gay lifestyle"?

Acting on homosexual impulses, typically. It's also generally defined as sin.
My point is that there's no such thing as "gay lifestyles" and I know what the Bible says. All 6 of those verses usually cited are in dispute over what they mean.
There's nothing specifically forbidden about homosexuality within Hinduism, but Indian culture in general tends to be very conservative.

Sadly, there are such things as "gay lifestyles". They seem to be self-imposed, like "black culture". It takes what has been stereotyped and turns it into an ideal.
