God did not 'make' homosexuals or heterosexuals. God made humans.Did God make heterosexuals but not homosexuals? Try and find a study on that
Actually, I believe humans evolved, since I am not a creationist.

As I do, thus if our genes are geared one way than someone else's even with the same "equipment", then we should consider that to be the case, thus not intrinsically a perversion, right?God did not 'make' homosexuals or heterosexuals. God made humans.

perverted: (of a person or their actions) characterized by sexually abnormal and unacceptable practices or tendencies.As I do, thus if our genes are geared one way than someone else's even with the same "equipment", then we should consider that to be the case, thus not intrinsically a perversion, right?
I have one granddaughter who is gay, and she lives with her girlfriend, so if they have sex is that "perverted", iyo?
...it all begins with one's view on God - holy, righteous and just, who is singular in ontology, ...and despises homosexuality, and those who are defiant to both His moral and natural laws.Yeah, I'd be more worried about the hate that you spew and where that comes from than who people think is god.
But you won't.
...and now you're a pantheist??? You change your religion as often as you change your clothes???That's not a source.
Only when they're perverts.Are you being perverted because you're willing to stoop to calling others "perverts" simply because they're different? Do you do this in other areas as well?
You mean decent and caring, don't you?When you post something like the above, it appears you don't realize how much you are hurting Christianity as you're being so judgmental and nasty.
How perceptive, well done!I think he feels he's hurting Christianity if he would conform to the moral standards of popular culture.
I also see he's not the only party doing the judging.
Yes, two girls having sex is perverted, and a mental disorder. With all due respect to your granddaughter, both her and her partner clearly have demons to deal with. ...as do I - my views on women are not always natural or healthy, and often perverted - I have to eradicate these thoughts and desires, they are unsound and destructive in so many ways.As I do, thus if our genes are geared one way than someone else's even with the same "equipment", then we should consider that to be the case, thus not intrinsically a perversion, right?

You, and every God-fearing person are obligated, and it is incumbent upon you, to judge! If a devout man cannot tell the difference between right and wrong, truth from falsehood, strength from weakness, or edifying from subversive, then why fear God if you are unable to learn anything about His character and will?perverted: (of a person or their actions) characterized by sexually abnormal and unacceptable practices or tendencies.
perverted means - Google Search
I would not call it a perversion because it is not my place to judge other people. God alone can judge what is sexually abnormal or unacceptable and that is what I go by. If I went by my own subjective feelings, lots of sexual practices would be offensive to me.
I do judge the immoral practices but I do not judge the people.You, and every God-fearing person are obligated, and it is incumbent upon you, to judge!

Don't judge in a hypocritical or self-righteous manner, but shame on any theist who can't discern healthy from unhealthy practices.
How can he lack so much wisdom if he fears God, and if he can't be a beacon of truth - one as a delegate of God, who's opinion can be trusted to guide others?
Yes, but he said that to those who were taking the law into their own hands: of course, that was the prescription in the OT - they were acting in line with the law.I do judge the immoral practices but I do not judge the people.
Didn't Jesus say He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her? (John 8:7)
I already did my duty and then I finally jumped ship on discussing homosexuality, as it is a lost cause. People are going to believe what they want to believe as can be seen on this thread with 5553 posts:Yes, but he said that to those who were taking the law into their own hands: of course, that was the prescription in the OT - they were acting in line with the law.
The type of judgement that the proponents of homosexuality are accusing us of, is entirely naive and a non-sequitur - we are not judging the people, as you said, but delineating what is perveerse and what isn't - they can't seem o tell the difference. Like I said in an earlier post, i want them to change - not be punished or persecuted.
You were asked if the guy's granddaughter's homosexual lifestyle was perverted, and you refrained from responding for fear of judging. He wasn't asking you to cast judgment on the granddaughter, but her practices.
God expects you to warn others - Ezekiel was threatened with death if he failed to warn the Israelites of their impending punishment. Homosexuals are under the same imminent wrath.
No, of course not. I don't know if we could control the environment in such a way to eliminate some of the the homosexuality, but by no means do I advocate something that would be oppresive, as you seem to suggest.Wow! That sounds a bit fascist. Perhaps we could apply the same to religious beliefs. If we control the environment that people live in we may be able to eliminate some of the minor religions. Does that sound good to you?
Why would you want to remove "some of the homo"? You did not get the point. That would be no different from removing some of the religions.No, of course not. I don't know if we could control the environment in such a way to eliminate some of the the homosexuality, but by no means do I advocate something that would be oppresive, as you seem to suggest.
...and now you're a pantheist??? You change your religion as often as you change your clothes???
And, yes, I am a qualified source. Question is: why aren't you?
Not when you strut around calling those who disagree with you "perverts".You mean decent and caring, don't you?
Then shame on you. All the shame. Because what you are doing here is not healthy, for neither yourself nor those around you. You are being hateful and judgmental, and openly slandering people on this forum, indirectly or no. Your beliefs, and your post-1940's translation of a book do not supersede others' right to live free of your horrible judgement.shame on any theist who can't discern healthy from unhealthy practices
Hate is never holy. God does not hate anyone, God loves everyone. God disapproves of some behaviors but He does not hate anyone. God is All-Loving and Ever-Forgiving. God forgives whomsoever He chooses.Did you just now notice that it was different? We've been conversing for a few days now. Anyhow, if you're interested, I posted a journal post. But anyway that's off topic. And your second sentence is just laughable.
As to your other posts on this thread, DNB, you, along with many other "Christians" in this world, and the hatred you spew in the name of a bogeyman, is a reason why I want absolutely nothing to do with Christianity. You think you're on the right side, but anyone with two eyes and two ears can see that what you do is evil and wrong. You demonize an entire group of people just because a book tells you to. Imagine living your life hating a group of people who are different from you. You should be ashamed. But you're not. You're deluded into thinking what you're doing is "holy."
