Evidence for God from Science

I know. That wan't my intent. Mastermind told me that the gay issue never interested him much, but he said he believes that homosexuality is wrong, and that some of that is based on traditionalism. This thread was originally meant to address specific Biblical passages. I'd like to think that my orig...

Slavery in ancient times does not equal slavery today. Read some more of JP's stuff, slavery back then was a good thing. The bible is neutral on the issue anyway. Slavery in Biblical times was the result of things as spoils of war and the consequence of going into debt. It wasn't a lifelong thing e...

Dude you're basing your statistics on lies. Well, that's why I said " at the very least ". :roll: Every time the 10% thing get's brought up, people always say it's more like 3%, but I don't know if that's true or not. I assume that if the churches think it's bad, they have a damn good rea...

The Ancient Greeks only tolerated homoerotic relationships between an older and younger male before marriage, They "tolerated" it so much that they considered it the "more intelligent" of relationships, and a homoerotic friendship was considered the most sophisticated, whereas h...

That link doesn't work. Is it the section on Leviticus, or the West Wing letter? I googled it and turns out I read both of them already...I also couldn't remember specifics, but I'd like to read them again and give my own spin if you don't mind.

Hey Mastermind. I seem to be having a hard time finding anyone who's against homosexuality, who will give commentary on the Biblical passages that seem to be anti gay. Could you perhaps fill me in? Not on the philisophical aspect of it, but more of the specific passages that are used often. Okay, so...

Mr.Gay, are you talking to me? If yes, then you're going to have to clarify the two conficting passages you're talking about--sorry I haven't been paying attention if you've already written it. :oops: But as far as... why would God give the people the power to write his words if he knew they were go...

Ever heard of Sodom and Gomorrah and the biblical verse that says man will not lie with man? Besides the Bible, nature has seen it fit that most people are not homosexual. You can't argue with God or nature. Well, I couldn't go into all passages then and there. I was going to discuss Romans 1 next,...

I'm just refering to the posts earlier in this thread. You asked WHY we believe homosexuality is a sin, and I posted 3 verses that demonstrate how it is. http://discussions.godandscience.org/viewtopic.php?p=9973&highlight=#9973 But from your response about wanting time I'm thinking you remember...

The subject of homosexuality is an intense one in Christian circles. I have voiced an opinion that I do not think the Bible condemns gay sex in itself. I have also said that I believe the Bible is inerrant. So naturally there are Bible passages that need to be addressed. I felt that if someone is ac...

Hey, no need to respond to me - the record is clearly written as for as I'm concerned. The counter arguments are something you need to think about for yourself, not for my benefit. But since you and I have already had our discussions about trusting the Bible, I'm not sure you're ready to be convinc...

So then Shirtless, simply read those passages and honestly answer whether homosexuality is agianst God's will or not. Clearly it is. Felgar, I want to, I really do. I've been defending all kinds of radical positions on this board, but I'm just trying to say that it's the accusers who need to give c...

Kmart, we may both be under usernames that brand us of being immature, but we're both reasonable people here. You know that whether you're right or wrong, you can't change people's minds by giving quickie soundbytes. Ever been to Glenn Miller's Christian Thinktank website? He gives dignity and respe...

Okay, you guys have established that you love the sinner and hate the sin, and that a gay act is no greater a sin than others, but you've missed the most important step: why do you believe it's a sin in the first place? I mean, pretend I grew up alone on a dessert island, and though I'm fluent in En...
