A question for a devoted Christian. - Page 16

i may be in the dark but is the reason homosexuality is against the christians interpertation of the bible because it inhibits you to expand the kingdom of heaven which is religions explanation of the reason of life. but if my religion interprets expanding the kingdom of heaven in a different sense than of having kids would being gay still contradict the essence of life? or does it cite being gay specifically in the bible as to bing wrong? b/c if not then homosexuality is A-ok

Homosexuality is wrong because it defies God by mocking His creation.

nowhere in the bible does it say this.

1Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV): "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters, nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

Romans 1:24-32

Having said that God loves all homosexuals! However, He hates the deeds of homosexuality because they are sinful. God did not create any human being as a homosexual.

rightly stated PeteSmith.

Jesus is asked about matters of the Law (mosiac) in respect (relative) to the afterlife? His responds; they are mistaken about angels? They don't?
So why would GOD care, one way or another?

who are we to question why god cares... you read the post with the biblical reference... nor homosexuals....will inherit the kingdom of heaven

Ah . . . ya I think I remeber that one?
It says the same of liars, murders & thievies, doesn't it?
Then so it is written that all have fallen short of God's Glory.
(fallen short => worthy of being?)
So GOD's authority (power) was delegated to Christ?
Who in turn, delegated His Authority upon man?
As man judges so it shall come upon him & he shall die (1st judgement => 2nd judgement . . well, we are still working on that decision yet?).

immoral sexual or otherwise, which means we are all guility as charged.
That taking human life is just as wrong as being gay?
or stepping out with someone else's wife,
or deceiving others [misleading with lies & deceptions]?

Romans 1:24-32 . . . #25 is certainly gives one plause ofr thought, doesn't it? Then Rom 2:1 states it plain.

That is an interesting question. However, i think that you must understand that Jesus has already died for all the sins we will commit. It is an issue that can albiet cause much in the way of abuse.

Jesus died on the cross because of our sins or to cover over our sins for a time? Although I have heard that some churches have accepted homosexuals but I have never heard any scripture given to justify homosexual relations?

In the Native Traditions coming to understand the proper relationship is neccessary among the people.

So what relationship did 'the disciple that Jesus loved' have with Jesus?
