Well, let me first ask you...are you against it because you care for the well being of others? (And excuse the assumption...but maybe dont want them to go to hell?)I am starting to get the picture than in the defense of homosexuality anything, and I mean ANYTHING will be claimed. Not only stuff that is not true, or simply wrong, even stuff that can't possibly be true is used. How do you any of what you claimed?
1. Love can be very very sinful. Ask anyone with a teenage daughter. We love violence, drugs, alcohol, and sex in all situations. Some even love suffering, causing harm, theft, and trouble. Every dug treatment facility will you that a person who gives up even what is killing them will mourn its loss. There is little in human history as destructive as inappropriately loving something or someone.
2. The soul has no ability to render gender meaningless. I do not even know where you contrived that from. I am not any less or more male with a soul than without one.
3. Gender is biological not soulish. We are what we are because of chromosomes. That is not even consistent. If souls mean we have no gender then how in the world do you suggest souls make us male even if we are biologically female.
4. Love is most sinful, as all things are that have a genuine purpose or role. Immorality usually involves the misuse of something that if use correctly is no t immoral. There is little in history that has led more people to suffer than loving the wrong things.
Where did you get any of this?
OR, are you against it because it doesnt benefit your own well being? (And perhaps, the actions of others has a negative effect on your own beliefs?)
So how do i know anything i claimed? For starters...the bible says that God is Love. (A fine line between lust and love...theres a difference.)
So if true love is sinful...then 'God' is sinful.
As for question 1.) Those are referring to lust. But the ultimate goal is to find a true love within the search of lustful things. Doesnt every heart desire true love? And if true love is indeed God...it would explain why we are so determined to 'find' God. (Think back to why you joined this forum.) And as for this 'inappropriate' love you speak of. Of course! It is very destructive. But we cant know the difference between destructive or constructive (or inappropriate to appropriate)...without experiencing the opposite. Maybe thats why we are all sinners? I dont like admitting i have sinned...but i have. Ultimately i was aware enough to benefit from my mistakes...forgive myself, and ask for forgiveness from others...instead of a loss...it was gain! Because i knew for myself. Even is this inappropriate love IS sinful...why stop someone from learning for themselves?
Question 2.) If we are made in Gods image, and God is neither male nor female (and cant prove otherwise)...then thats where i got that from. Its not so far-fetched.
Question 3.) Well yes, physically...we are one or the other MOST of the time. But perhaps God allowed humans to be born that are both? Its living proof...not everyone is either male or female. Both exist at the same time. Even scientifically...we have a balance of hormones from both male and female. One is just dominant. We can research the soul except threw individual experience...but logical tells us soul has no gender.
As for question 4.) Sin enevitably has a purpose. Mistakes...they have purpose. So this OP is most sinful in your perspective. I would feel grateful. you have established a sense of right and wrong...and do your best to apply good moral standards into your life. And thats awesome! But perhaps, this person has not had the oppurtunity to learn right from wrong. If they do not know they have sinned...God cannot condem them. For they hadnt known! So please, just give them a chance to learn...i dont think its morally right to apply same sex in MY life either. So i dont. And im sin free in that aspect. We arent all at the same level here.
So ultimately...even if you dont get the gender aspect of my claim. You dont have to...the real issue is this: let them live. Let them suffer (if you believe thats what the outcome will be.) Live, and let live.
To conclude...i really do care for all humanity...noone likes to suffer. But we all suffer. (And if your a Christian...) God himself even suffered. But its not 'suffering' anymore when we are able to spiritually grow from it...its Grace.
Let it go, and let him grow. it isnt our battle to fight...and we have no authority to judge.
