I think the truest way to know if you can really trust the teaching of ministers or professers in theology if it follows perfectly in step with scripture. <br /><br />If you really believe the Bible, and the true unwavering character of God I think that you would have to agree that homosexualtiy is sin.

I was then criticized for it. I felt like I had to defend my choice. Every post I wrote someone else came and questioned my beliefs. <br /><br />I'm sorry if you thought I was arguing with you. I was trying to tell you how the Bible was taught to me, by my minister and college professors in theology. But how DARE you question my faith. You insinuated that I do not have "True Christian Beliefs". Who are you to judge me for my beliefs?<br /><br />One more thing, Wikipedia is not a reputable place to get information, anyone can change an entry at anytime.

Jennifer's only reason for checking this post is so that she can argue with you and spew whatever information she looked up on Wikipedia. To continue to argue with her is pointless. You have made your beliefs perfectly clear, and considering that no one else is arguing with you, leads me to believe that many others feel as you do. It is also clear that Jennifer will not change her views and neither will you. If I were you, no matter how much she may try to antagonize you, I would ignore her. Don't give her the satisfaction of trying to constantly "one up you." It's clear to all of us that that is what she's trying to do....like a 5 year old. I'd almost bet money that she won't be able to control herself and will feel the need to answer to THIS post. Just to have the last word.....In my case, she can have it.

I am not confusing sex with relationships. I am well aware that relationship does not equal sex. My relationship with my husband is not based on sex at all, but it is a part of our marriage. So if the Bible does specifically speak about sex between 2 men or 2 women, which it does in many places, then wouldn't approving of gay marriage be approving of something the Bible clearly states as sin? Part of a marital relationship is about sex, so to approve of gay marriage is to approve of gay sex. That is approval of sin. I would no more approve of that sin than I would murder, or rape or stealing.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038806440249888445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-91771468054800645032012-08-10T11:46:49.714-04:002012-08-10T11:46:49.714-04:00Here's another.
Matthew 11:20-24
--Then Jesus ...Here's another.<br />Matthew 11:20-24<br />--Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. "Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths. If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you."<br /><br />Hmmmmm? No homosexuality here either. Jesus just talks about the unrepentant cities that refused to believe in him or his miracles.<br /><br />I see no concrete evidence of homosexuality. Although I do understand what you are saying. You are confusing sex with relationships. To say having a homosexual relationship is all about sex is comparable to saying that a heterosexual relationship is all about sex. <br /><br />Is your commitment to your husband all about sex? Mine isn't. We decided that we wanted to go through life together and never part. I feel you are incorrect to assume that a gay relationships are all about sex. <br /><br />Another point I want to make is that if you put the defining point being sex for homosexuality or heterosexual, you would be assuming that everyone is sexually active. I have two very boy-crazy little girls ages 4 and 6. Since they like boys I consider them heterosexual. Does that mean that they are sexually active? No. They don't even know what sex is.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057287306893629270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-27555661109269564222012-08-10T11:45:54.931-04:002012-08-10T11:45:54.931-04:00Jessica,
I'm glad you brought up Sodom and Gom...Jessica,<br />I'm glad you brought up Sodom and Gomorrah. <br /><br />So the story, in Genesis, starts with Abraham and Lot splitting up because they both were too wealthy and the land they were on could not support all their herds, family members and workers. Abraham went to Canaan while Lot set up his tent near the city of Sodom. Unfortunately, the people of Sodom were evil and sinners.<br /><br />On the behalf of the Lord, 2 angels are sent to Sodom to see if the city is as bad as He had been told. As the angels enter the city, Lot meets them and tells them they can find shelter and food at his house. They decline but Lot persists.<br />After Lots guests are fed, there is a knock on the door.<br />Here is Genesis 19:4-5<br />----But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house. And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.”<br /><br />Notice it says "all the people to the last man". If this is about homosexuality, does that mean the entire town was gay? If so, why was Lot's daughters pledged to marry men from the town? Not only that, but is one heck of a gay city! San Fransisco's gay population is only 5% of the 800,000 people that live there.<br /><br />Lot goes on to offer his virgin daughters to the mob of angry men. Now, why in the world would Lot offer gay men a virgin WOMEN to have sex with? It doesn't make sense. <br /><br />When the offer is declined, they also threaten to do worse to Lot than to the foreigner who they knew came to judge them. The men of Sodom then try to break down the door to get to the visitors. At this point, the angels turn to Lot and tell him to get his family out of Sodom, because the Lord is going to strike down the city.<br /><br />The fact that the men threatened Lot and tried to break in his house proves they were obviously violent and were trying to get to two unwilling people. Sex and violence with unwilling people is rape, not homosexuality. It is rape. Rape is all about power, not sex.<br /><br />There is another story in the Bible. Judges 19:13-27. It is a parallel story set in Gibeah in Benjamin.<br /><br />Instead of 2 daughters offered to the angry mob of Benjamites, only 1 daughter and a concubine or offered. This time the mob took the concubine and raped her and abused her through the night and then let her go at dawn. Later the tribe of Benjamin were nearly wiped out because of this.<br /><br />In this account, the wicked men were appeased by the offering of the female concubine. So they are not gay, but after power or rape.<br /><br />The tribe and the city of Sodom and Gomorrah were NOT destroyed because of homosexuality. <br /><br />Why WAS Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed, and what were the sins that were so vile that God destroyed them? What was the great outcry God was referring to in Genesis 18? The Bible tells us exactly why these cities were destroyed in Ezekiel 16:48-50.<br />---As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, your sister Sodom and her daughters never did what you and your daughters have done. "'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.<br /><br />No homosexuality. The "detestable things before me" refers to the religious Pagan rituals that were popular in that time.<br /><br />More in another post.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057287306893629270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-42147773564906671062012-08-09T15:35:34.433-04:002012-08-09T15:35:34.433-04:00Jennifer,

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8) The answer, He wouldn't change, God disapproved of homosexual behavior then and still does. The Bible does not use the word homosexualtiy but that doesn't mean it does not speak about it.<br /><br />We are born with sin, and everyone sins and has certain tendencies and desires. Just because we are born a certain way does not mean that it is ok. I was born a very stubborn and selfish person, with a very short temper. I do not justify that in anyway. Those personality traits of mine were sin, and I have to work vey hard not to be ruled by my human nature. <br /><br />Jesus did defend the oppressed, but not sin. As christians we can truly love people, all people without approving of their sin. I have no hatred, or desire to oppress anyone. But I do not have to tolerate or approve of a sinful lifestyle. And I do believe that there is concrete evidence in the Bible that homosexuality is sin.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038806440249888445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-47525151873025022852012-08-09T13:36:19.634-04:002012-08-09T13:36:19.634-04:00Jessica, I think you misunderstood my meaning of &...Jessica, I think you misunderstood my meaning of "great read". The Bible is the word of God as written by man. I read it. I am a follower of Christ. I am a Bible Loving Christian. It helps me with struggles, it makes me whole. <br /><br />You gave me a challenge to find one place in the entire Bible where God approves of homosexuality. I admit I can't. There is no where in the Bible that states that people of the same sex can or can't have a loving adult relationship. <br /><br />In the Bible there is only 6 verses about man sleeping with men and there are thousands of verses about other things. If it was such a sin, why aren't there entire books about it in the Bible? Why isn't in the 10 Commandments? They are the only thing which is actually written down on stone by God. Man wrote the rest. Paul said their words were inspired by God. <br /> <br />The authors of the Bible do not speak about homosexual orientation as we know it today. They neither condemn it or approve it. They are not authorities of human sexuality. They ARE authorities in faith. <br /><br />There is ta passage, Matthew 19:12, Jesus speaks of eunuchs who were born as such, eunuchs who were made so by others, and eunuchs who choose to live as such for the kingdom of heaven. This passage has been said as having to do with homosexual orientation. Even Clement of Alexandria, a Christian theologian who lived around 150 AD to 215 AD stated that this passage meant that some men, from birth, are naturally averse to women and should not marry. That is the closest the Bible gets to mentioning homosexuality.<br /><br />The last thing I want to say is the Gospels make it very clear that Jesus refused to believe in cultural prejudice. He ALWAYS took up the cause for the oppressed and defended them against the narrow minded religious leaders.<br /><br />I suggest to everyone that they should read the Bible. Don't just read the words, but learn how to interpret them. Learn how man lived in the time of the Bible. The cultures and attitudes are completely different from today. Don't bring in your knowledge of the world as you know it now. If you do, I think you'll find the Bible even more amazing.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057287306893629270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-26039905639009093582012-08-07T23:58:19.061-04:002012-08-07T23:58:19.061-04:00Jennifer, the difference between us is that I don&...Jennifer, the difference between us is that I don't see the Bible as a "read." For me it is life, it is truth, not just a great piece of literature. <br /><br />I think that anyone at anytime can twist the words of God to say what they want them to say. It can be given a name that justifies an interpretation that is inaccurate...but that doesn't make it the truth. <br /><br />I think you can argue all day long that new testament scripture doesn't call homosexuality a sin, but can you find one place in the entire Bible where God approves of it? Sin is sin.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038806440249888445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-14899082188081890072012-08-07T22:49:31.700-04:002012-08-07T22:49:31.700-04:00Jessica, Romans does in fact say:
24 Therefore G...Jessica, Romans does in fact say:<br /><br />24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,<br /><br />25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever! Amen.<br /><br />26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural,<br /><br />27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error. (RSV)<br /><br />Nowhere in that text is the word homosexuality, homosexual, or gay. Those words don't appear until 1946.<br /><br />you can just read the words, but context is everything.<br /><br />24- About lust. Pure and simple. One of the 7 Deadly Sins.<br />25- In here, there is a lie and idolatry. i.e. worshiping another god.<br />26-So now this situtation of Lust, Lies, Idolarty and Dishonorable Passions.<br />27-Read the first part, Men GAVE UP natural relations with women. How can you give up something you never did before? heterosexual individuals filled with lust and engaging in homosexual sex, which is against their nature.<br /><br />Basically Paul is referring pagan practice of sacred sexual orgies.<br /><br />Peter J. Gomes, preacher to Harvard University, further clarifies in his book The Good Book, “It is not clear that Saint Paul distinguished, as we must, between homosexual persons and heterosexual persons who behave like homosexuals, but what is clear is that what is ‘unnatural’ is the one behaving after the manner of the other”.<br /><br />But, that all being said. You were taught the Bible by the words, not looking at it as a historical piece. If you read it with both, it truly is a wonderful read.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057287306893629270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-69681516012178496152012-08-07T19:07:17.021-04:002012-08-07T19:07:17.021-04:00Romans 1:24-27 speaks specifically about homosexua...Romans 1:24-27 speaks specifically about homosexuality being unnatural. <br /><br />Because we live post ressurection we no longer follow Levitical law.

I don't hate the man for saying his beliefs. I don't have a problem with that.<br /><br />I consider myself a christian and I have read the Bible. Leviticus does mention that man shall not lay with a man like you lay with a woman the punishment for it is death. It also states that women that are pregnant and not married shall be stoned to death. It also states that women need to be separated from everyone when she is menstruating because she is unclean. Don't forget about how men shouldn't cut their hair or shave their beard. Oh, look up Leviticus 21:16-23. <br /><br />The truth is that the Bible can be used to justify or delegitimize almost anything. It bothers me that people pick and choose what they want. Gays are an abomination? So is that poly bend suit your husband wore to work. <br /><br />As for the protesters that were out of hand, I agree. None of that was needed. Foul words on signs or inappropriate behavior is uncalled for regardless of what you are doing. It doesn't get you anywhere.<br /><br />The funny thing about all this, my gay friends couldn't care less about this situation. I was more upset than they were. :)<br />I'm still not going to eat there, just because they give money to certain groups that I don't care for. They do give to a bunch of children's organizations too.<br /><br /><br />Lynn, I'm sorry my "expert" bible knowledge bothered you. Don't forget about MY right for free speech.

I think the gay community is doing themselves a real dis-service when they jump on every "imaginary bandwagon" that comes along--always screaming "Hate!" It's the same with those people who think every disagreement is race-based. I don't think people care "who is doing what" in their own lives. Even people who disagree with same-sex marriage have better things to do with their time that spend 2 minutes on the subject. I was amused to see that supporters of Chick-fil-A stood in line politely, and without incident. However, some of the gay protesters were really quite disgusting, not only with their behavior (and no, I don't mean their kissing. I mean their groping and gyrating each other in public,) and with their protest signs. One sign called Jesus a C---t. Nice, huh? Tolerant, huh? Oh, but wait. If a gay person said it, then I have to accept that, right? Because the waver of that sign is allowed to his opinion, but MY OPINION is the intolerant one? Many Gay Rights groups were not supportive of these tactics. It certainly doesn't help your cause if you're going to play to people's stereotypes.Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-3978464874791188162012-08-05T20:33:13.070-04:002012-08-05T20:33:13.070-04:00Jennifer....The Bible talks multiple times about h...Jennifer....The Bible talks multiple times about homosexuality being a sin, in both the old and new testament. Love your neighbor as yourself is an issue here. Gay rights supporters are bashing, degrading and criticising a person based on their beliefs and right to free speech. <br />I think what really bugs me about this whole debate is that the "world" seems to think that free speech and beliefs are a great thing until they disagree with them. And then it is automatically hate. Hate is a completely different issue, ad not even a factor in this whole controversy. True christians can love all people and still hate the what the Bible says is sin in someones life. And yet when a christian stands up for their beliefs they are often call bigots....tell me where the free speech is in the.

Instead of worrying about whether you should eat a chicken sandwich b/c the owner does not have your same beliefs - wouldn't you really want to take on the oil executives that are making us pay almost $4/gal for gas - Priorities or Pettiness people?Bragarmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046936194445283652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-35234294548000999812012-08-04T13:41:06.403-04:002012-08-04T13:41:06.403-04:00When I say human rights, I include marriage as a h...When I say human rights, I include marriage as a human right as per this definition.<br />"The basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled, often held to include the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law."<br /><br />As for shelter? What about the estimated 30% of the 2 million children that are homeless because their parents kicked them out due to being gay?<br /><br />The CEO said he supports "the biblical definition of the family unit". Which is funny, there is no clear definition. Moses law assumed all Israelites to marry as many women that they could afford. Jesus warned against marriage, saying that family life was a distracting waste of time. The apostle Paul agreed and said that celibacy was the way of Jesus' followers. Paul only recommends marriage if you can't stay celibate. The New Testament does sanction marriage but only to test the fitness of male church leaders. They were told to love their wives and servants. Wives, children and servants were told to obey the men in charge, no matter what. Oh yeah, this is a culture where sexual access of masters to their slaves was the norm. There is never a mention of marriage as practiced in the US. Everything is totally contradictory. <br /><br />People can't use the bible to justify their intolerance. There is no straightforward set of teachings about marriage, desire, or God's take on the human body. <br /><br />That all being said. I refuse to spend my money at Chik-fil-a now that I know it will go to funding groups that oppose gay marriage.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057287306893629270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-21177385554837009582012-08-03T21:21:44.306-04:002012-08-03T21:21:44.306-04:00I don't know anything about him/her, but they ...I don't know anything about him/her, but they are also closed on Sundays and play church hymns in the store, so I think it is pretty unlikely that you will find him/her marching for gay rights either.Tara @ Tales of a Trophy Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11482352114947524130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-29032684095302017462012-08-03T17:15:18.779-04:002012-08-03T17:15:18.779-04:00I think it's out of control.

He didn't say anything bad about anyone, just how he feels. We don't have any chic-fil-a's around here, but I wouldn't have a problem eating there.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05394377676043920920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-57143804027404872192012-08-03T16:39:56.171-04:002012-08-03T16:39:56.171-04:00"I think what bothers me most, is the fact th..."I think what bothers me most, is the fact that in this day and age, we still have to fight for people to have basic human rights."<br /><br />Are we still talking about the same thing? I don't see anyone saying that people in the gay community should be denied basic human rights. Are they denied food? Shelter? Clothing? Let's not exaggerate. <br /><br />The CEO of Chick-fil-A certainly said no such thing. He simply said that he supports traditional marriage. Did he say that gay people were undeserving of happiness, or of any of the other "wants" that the rest of us wish for? No. Would you like for someone to put words in your mouth? Or worse, to have someone tell others what you ACTUALLY MEANT to say? That of course, would imply that you knew better than the person speaking. <br /><br />It's true that there are the few stories of total nut-jobs who have to ruin the good deeds/intentions of others, in the name of religion. But for the most part, these "Chritians," as you refer to them, ARE loving their neighbor. Take note that they went to Chick-fil-A peacefully to support a business that they like---they didn't wave horrible signs or scream obscenities about the gay community.Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-90678690336661724202012-08-03T13:53:36.621-04:002012-08-03T13:53:36.621-04:00Oh geeze, now I have to read up about Hobby Lobby!...Oh geeze, now I have to read up about Hobby Lobby!Jennifer Juniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087072033452320694noreply@blogger.com
