Yes NNS and you left out liars, paedophiles, adulterers, fornicators. I mean its up to us to tell God what is right and wrong. Just ask Foxy. How dare we tell Him murdering innocent unborn babies is wrong and He must accept our moral superiority. I mean its makes sense that the puny fist of the created should tell the Creator of heaven and earth a few things. I mean he must also believe all women (including the toxic feminist) and lesbian priests. Then he must also be inclusive and accept old uncles marrying young nieces. Just ask Foxy. I mean the modern day feminsist is the font of all wisdom.

To Foxy.

Being gay falls on the same line as turn from your sins. And from there on all
I'd say is to not be actively gay. In other words be celibate. It's not about attraction but on actions that we choose.

I don't expect that to be any easier then to have an alocholic avoid beer and liquor. Still, people do it. Why would the standard not be the same for adultry, homosexuality, pedophilia, incest, and any other sexual sin? Do you think giving up alochol is easier then giving up sex? Maybe it is, but that's still the standard. Everyone is welcome but each of us still has the issue of turning from our sins and turning to God.

My hope is in God, more then it's in my ability to consistently walk away from the sins I struggle with. The same would be for homosexuals except that the movement that there's nothing wrong with the practice. There's a difference between struggling with anger, and with being easily angered and seeing nothing wrong with it. If you don't know it's wrong, or don't acknowledge it, then nothing gets better.

Probably like you I use to believe that there's nothing wrong with homosexuality outside that the bible speaks against it. Then I started to get a better picture of the sitution, and unfortunately there are issues and problems with homosexuality.

runner,

Boy, I've certainly touched a nerve with you.
But you've not let me down - proving exactly
why religion is divisive when practised by
people such as yourself.

However, to help you - the following link is
worth a read:

Dear NNS,

We shall have to agree to disagree on the question
of the treatment of homosexuals by churches.
Same sex couples can't get married in Catholic or
Anglican places of worship. And a lot of churches won't
let openly gay people so much as serve the coffee.
So being " welcoming" and "Love they neighbour as
thyself..."doesn't quite apply.

Shouldn't religion represent a radical, unconditional,
non-judgemental approach to love. Isn't that exactly
what a church claims to promote?

Here's a link worth a read:

'Boy, I've certainly touched a nerve with you.'

no just uncovered the idiotic secular notion that humans can tell God what is right and wrong!

Foxy,

Interesting link and it says that the majority of Christians along with footy's Israel think that homosexuality is a sin if practised.
