carrdero Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 [quote name='St.Lucy4eva' post='1290579' date='Jun 7 2007, 08:56 PM']I think that we should just all pray for our Nation and its' leaders to conform their hearts to God. Like for example when people ask (in some cases, don't read this wrong) where is God? Why isn't he doing something about this? He is, he sent us. Just some food for thought.[/quote] I couldn't imagine why GOD would ask humans to do something that GOD could do Himself.

Provide me with some examples? What acts of love would you not contribute towards this relationship if the person were not homosexual?[/quote] My sister In-law, drinks way to much,(way to much). I love her, I do stuff with her,we eat together,we talk on the phone. She does not want to talk about it. I pray for her. I love her. Yes, her drinking is a problem,do I love her any less????? No way. (Her drinking is not only hurtful it is sinful.) Do you want a list of things I love about my nephew too,there are alot, he is very smart,the U of W sought him out for there nursing program. He used to teach swing dance and would put most to shame. He opened his own studio. He could build a pond in your backyard that would look like a tropical paradise in less then a week,if you asked him. He does pottery and he very good. I love him,he is my family, I do not love the sex he has with his partner.The sex he has with his partner is a sin. What you are saying does not make any sense!......"not contribute....... if he were not homosexual???" He is though and he makes his own choices. I CAN love the sinner,and hate the sin. Is that not HOW CHRIST SEES ALL OF US! HE loves all of us,he hung on the cross for all of our sins,Or does he have a hard time separating the two,also? JC

I am sure that if it is was really immoral, there would be laws implemented to halt these practices.[/quote]

Do you not believe that if homosexuality was so corrupt, so immoral, so much of a threat against this nation that are own self-appointed government would let this wicked practice go on for another day without any serious legal reprucussions? I don't believe homosexuality to be moral or immoral, I believe it to be a right. I believe that this is how GOD and our government view it as well.
mortify Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Disorders of any kind can't be "right." People who suffer from them are not be valued less or held in contempt, we live in a culture that encourages pursuit of pleasure and holds disdain for any meaningful existence, so how can we be surprised that our government, which is penetrated by the culture, to think differently? And we know God's view on the matter, He's quite clear on it.
Semalsia Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 [quote name='SJP']How can two gay people procreate?[/quote] They can. It doesn't matter how.
SJP Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 [quote name='Semalsia' post='1291082' date='Jun 8 2007, 06:05 PM']They can. It doesn't matter how.[/quote] Unless I missed something in grade 9 anatomy, I'm quite sure that a homosexual act can never produce life.
