Granted, sorry... I was wrong
 It's another 'law' that was simply a ruling of it's time meant to sustain that society. It is not a prescription of God's.Fact is, you won't ever find clear condemnation of homosexuality in the bible. 
fr0d0: The NT also condemns homosexuality too. Unless that is not what you are saying?
Also it should be pointed out that homosexual acts are said to be sinful not being gay itself... i think

In which case all homosexuals should be and stay repressed according to the bible?

Indeed,also according to most christian churches,who welcome celibate gays. I've always found that to be the acme of hypocrisy. I've had our resident hobbit on ignore for ages. From time-to-time,I begin to think I was a bit hasty.Then someone will quote some inane thing he's written and I change my mind.  (Solar is nowhere near as irritating,as he's not as smart as Frodo so has some excuse)

Unless that is not what you are saying? It can be correctly concluded that promiscuity is unhealthy in my understanding.
Generally I would say yes it's unhealthy. But always unhealthy? I would say no.

Indeed that would probably be true Evie, so I won't argue the toss with you
EvidenceVsFaith: Yeah I suppose so. Other people with other desires are asked to repress them.
padraic: Awwwww I feel the love too

God prefers that homosexuals stay repressed forever then? He would not rather that they, like heterosexuals, have a right to a non-repressed life? To truly express themselves for who they are?
So they're just unlucky from a Christian perspective, do you yourself at least, think? EvF |
