So true Abra, but it does indicate that religion 'evolves' and because it does, no form of any religion can be pure. In other words, ALL religion comes from the same source; humans. And every religion MUST be updated to keep up with societal changes.

Historically, the 'great' religions that exist today, would not exist if governments and the elite seeking power in government, had not used religion to advance their own cause. In fact governments and the people who 'used' religion, have had the greatest influence, not only in propegating religions, but in changing them.

Just another good reason to keep religion and government separate.

Not to me.

People claiming to be Christian and then acting like they are anything but one hurts the reputation of the good Christians who follow what the bible teaches.Is there any point in being a Christian if you are going to be living a life that goes against Gods word and the bible?The gay lifestyle does not fit into anything at all in the bible or the Christian religion.The bible was so clearly againt it that it was one of the fews acts that called it a obamination.Any Christians that are supporting the Christian gay movement are clearly rebelling against God and his word.

I know I am going to get a lot of flack over this post.All Christian sin but any Christian that loves God and his word will try his best to live his life as close as possible to the bible and Gods word.That does not include making a lifelong commitment to rebel against Gods word which is exactly what happends in gay marriage.

Welcome...!

Feeling a bit confused? Standing at the cross roads? No worries. You've come to the right place. After enough rejections and head games from the lovely ladies of mingle, you're sure to turn straight gay!

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease...

Gimme a break, will ya?

It's a scientific fact that you are who you are and your sexual orientation and preference is one you are born with. It's not a choice. Yes, he can suppress his desires all of his life, but why should he?

I say he should instead denounce Christianity for excluding him and judging him for who he is. Aren't we all God's children, according to your Bible?

I personally don't even believe in a god or heaven and hell.... but if I did, I certainly wouldn't believe in a god that is vengeful, hateful and jealous.

Thank you...

Thank you and that was very insightful. You sound like an amazing women.

i chose to be a drunk , i chose to be gay , i chose to blow my brains out ! god or mom did not do it i did !

I seem to recall that some those same bible verses that are interpreted as calling homosexuality an abomination also call for killing them. Do you choose to follow those verse as well or do you just pick and choose?

I would like to say that I came to my conclusion and acceptance of myself being Bi just before I found God. I believe that God had a specific reason for calling me to him at that time. Now I'm sure there will be people on here who will say that he was trying to save my soul, well yeah he did. But I don't believe it was to renounce my sexuality. I believe it's because I finally accepted a part of myself that my heart was finally open to receive him.

For those who think that I'm not a Christian b/c of my sexuality, I’d like to say that the true walk as a Christian is never an easy path. We all have our independent obstacles that test our faith in the lord. The bible gives us plenty of examples that God asks some people to do things that are larger than ourselves, and sometimes almost unimaginable of doing. But they did them b/c of their faith. I know that a large majority think I'm hypocritical for being bisexual and claiming to be a Christian, but b/c of my faith, my heart cannot and will not deny that Jesus is my savior and that God is my creator. Though you may try to tell me to change, I already have, and I did chose the Lord. Every time I hear that I will go to hell b/c of my sexuality, the lord shields my heart from such evil, and it's not an easy decision to be barraged by opposition, but that decision wasn't mine, the will of God is above my own, and I choose to give myself to his will to the best of my ability. The easy way out would be to not continue my walk with the lord, and deny what he made me. But I am meant to face this opposition, which I believe will always be a never ending test of my devotion to the lord. If I was not truly a Christian, then why would I continue to face these afflictions? God put into us what he knew he could use of us, but it is Satan that manipulates what is actually good in us, to be used in sin. We may not realize that we are sinning though b/c it’s used through something that God put in us. So I’m bisexual b/c God made me that way. If that’s wrong then are you saying that god is wrong?

For those who say that if you were in my position, you wouldn't chose to be Christian b/c of the religious community, I am sorry b/c it has taken onto itself what I believe to be a false position of power to make judge-mental truths of God, which has turned you away, instead of bringing you to the Lords embrace. The lord rejoices more for one soul that is saved, for we all have one soul, so each of us is greatly desired by the lord. I also have no intention of looking for another religion that is more accepting, b/c I can’t chose a faith more appealing. Because then I’d be choosing to have a religion to fit my lifestyle, but I believe that this is the only God, no other exists. I need to live a Christian lifestyle, as well as a bisexual lifestyle together to make a mixed lifestyle. I truly believe that Jesus is my savior, and that God exists. I can only hope because of who I am, that the lord may use me to bring people to his love, and that those people he wants me to save are those which have had such oppressions make them shy away from him.

I felt that these thoughts should be shared and I hope it may help others to understand where I’m coming from.

There are several scholars who have intrepreted the Bible to refute any anti-homosexual references, for example, Sodom and Gomorrah can be seen as a violation of the law of hospitality more so than any bad homosexual activity.

im tellin ya this thread is gonna make me scream!

obviously your a X-tian Morningsong since you support abominable acts such as homosexuality be it lesbianism or gayism.

Real and True followers of Yahshua hate what God hates. you dont hate what God hates because your not of Him. The Gospel calls the lost unto repentance and sanctification if you know what that means. This is scripture. Read it for your self and maybe you will believe His word. These are His words not mine. I just a messenger delivering the message of repentance and salvation. These are not my rules.
personally I dont give a crap what people choose to do behind closed doors. Thats their business. But if they open the door and let people in by telling their business, then they are subjecting themselves to hearing the gospel which is not easy on ears of the rebellious.
this is what I am called to do. like it or not. God does not like homosexual activity. sorry if that bothers you to hear it MS. But its His Truth and I must let the people know. Maybe you should ask God why He does not like it since you have a problem with it.

who knows maybe He might even use you too MS, to tell His truth if your willing to speak up for Him and renounce your Love for homosexual behavior. Ask Him to deliver you and He will just be sincere.

God is love but he treats his mother like crap. Hmmm. Can't say as that's the kind of love I go for.

God and Jesus don't teach us to hate. MorningSong is right, IMO.

Ahh, Sodom and Gomorrah, where it's better to pass ones own daughters around, and let them be raped, brutalized and killed.

What a nice God, that "good" men would even think of that!

Think your a little mixed up there give me chapter and verus on that, we can talk about it.

It is your choice what you do in life. You seem angry about others choices. Whats up :)

Jesus said to obey mans law so I would say murder is not a option. Your talking old testament after the death of Christ we go by the new testament we are not Jews we are Christians.
