• This Actor May Replace Kirk Cameron (& Join Nicolas Cage) in End-Times ‘Left Behind’ Film Reboot

  Hey Lead, King James was a pretty wicked man. He’s the reason we have the Bible in English. Think God can’t use the list for His purpose? Enjoy your members only club.

  That is why the world hates us and Christianity is dying a slow death. We’ve become an exclusive club that can’t accept outsiders, and furthermore can’t keep our ignorant thoughts to ourselves. No wonder the world thinks we’re a bunch of uneducated, ignorant rednecks. Are these movies supposed to reach the lost, or be an entertaining diversion for the self righteous?

  Why then, when Jesus came did he say that all things were permissible when blessed by Him? Why did He spend so much time explaining to His disciples and the Pharisees that they were no longer bound by the old law? Why did HE never mention homosexuality, even in ancient Rome where it was widely practiced? Why is any mention of same sex couplings in the New Testament talking about specific instances instead of condemning the act as a whole?

  I’m not looking for argument, I’m looking for answers from the Word of God.

  Of course it was. Otherwise, how would the earth populate? God created what was necessary and natural for Adam and Eve. He also created animals as males and females, and yet…so many species exhibit homosexual behaviors:

  Lions
  Bison
  Dogs
  Chimps
  Giraffes
  Orca
  Owls
  Penguins
  Snakes
  Turtles
  Frogs
  Butterflies
  Weevils

  I could go on and on, and that’s just what man has observed up to this point.

  Now why would God, who created animals to populate just as He did humans, put a natural variance in a small percentage of all those animals? Can animals sin? If homosexuality is a sin, they certainly do I suppose.

  But humans are not animals. They are supposed to behave better than that. Animals kill each other for no reason. They rape. They steal. They quarrel over territories and dominance. Oh…wait…so do humans.

  Difference being some people are born with extreme and undeniable homosexual tendencies, and unless you want to tell God he made a mistake, you’d better rethink your cutesy and impotent slogan. See God created Adam and Eve, but he created Steve too.

  GREENEYES1982, I would like to point out that the King James Version is not the original, nor always a literal translation of the scriptures. It’s pretty good, but can be unclear in some areas. When I learned to get past that (I was raised in a KJV 1611 or nothing church and family) and realize that it’s best to go to the original language and literal translation, my understanding of God’s Word and Who He is was made a lot clearer. Luckily the internet makes that a relatively easy process.

  Let me translate for you: effeminate is translated from the word “malakoi”, which means “soft”. In the original text “malakoi” is used six other times in scriptures, always referring to someone being without backbone, without conviction, vain and self-indulged. If you want to break with that and say he clearly mean “gay” even though it breaks with the rest of the Bible, good luck with your conscience on that one!

  The next phrase: “nor abusers of themselves with mankind” comes from the very rarely used word “arsenokoitai”. Scholars still struggle with the true meaning of this word, but a literal translation of the two root words is “”bed” and “male”. Hardly a bullet proof argument that it means “males having sex with each other”, especially when you study the contexts in which you find the word used in other places. From other texts and references, most language scholars guess it means males who aggressively force sex.

  So you still think it’s crystal cle

  Really? Why would I have studied it in depth if I don’t want to see? I’m a straight, married father of five. I have nothing to gain in this debate. But when I studied it out, I found that Paul never talks about homosexuals as a group of people or homosexuality as an act. If you want to rely o. What someone else’s translation of what Paul said is, then you can make the argument, but if you read the original text, you’d be stretching at best.

  I hope you don’t eat Shrimp, Faith! That’s in Leviticus as well!

  There’s a reason Christ came. It was so we didn’t have to follow all of those impossible rules.

  Anyone will have a very hard time unequivocally proving that homosexuality is a sin based on the original text of the New Testament. There are numerous modern and not so modern translations that misinterpret what Paul said. I would encourage anyone who cares about truth, not just ingrained opinion, to look up the original Greek and the literal translations and then put in into context of the culture to whom he was writing. Once you’ve done that with the whopping TWO mentions that it gets in the NT and you see that it really isn’t very clear, then go and read all the verses about LOVE and ACCEPTANCE and see how clear the Bible is on THAT subject. Finally, now that you’ve actually done the research instead of talking out of your hind end on the Internet, ask yourself what concerns God more: Judging someone for their sexuality, or loving someone regardless.
