That's already been done, Magatsu.

Agreed.....but, Christians don't universally agree whether or not God views it as a sin. That's why there is so much debate and dissent over this issue right now. Even among many conservative churches! Every church has their own *right view* of what God wants or how God views things.It doesn't really matter how you view it or how I view it; the important thing is how God views it.
Proverbs 12:15
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
SOMEBODY GOING TO EDUCATE YOU, BUT YA KNOW, I HAVE NOT THE TIME OR PATIENCE TO TEACH A PUPPY HOW TO SIT!
I DONT EMBRACE GOODCRAP, I JUST THINK ITS A DOUBLE STANDARD TO BE A PREJUDUCE, YET GET MAD IF SOMEONE SAYS ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT YOUR GAY!
SO ITS OK TO HATE, JUST DONT HATE ON ME RIGHT?I'm not attacking your opinion because it may be true in some instances but I will give you another point of view.
Sadly, they never acknowledge any accomplishments or merits of the people who are targets of their hatred even when that target does something that the bigot says their incapable of doing. Even though many blacks have contributed major inventions and breakthrough's in science, some hate groups believe that blacks are not capable of that kind of intelligence.
But they still find an answer and twist the facts to suit their theories. The most common statement by these groups are that deafies that have stood out in the academic fields must've had a ancestor.
Bigots can always find someone else to blame for anything. These same people don't don't worry if they are logically supported, they just know what's "right". The idea of a conspiracy is easy to grasp when the truth is hard to swallow. More importantly, since the bigot has found theories easier than fact, they will twist - and sometimes fabricate - facts to suit their theories.
Secondly, causation in racial issues usually dwells in the superior. Arabs hate Jews, blacks hate whites, whites hate blacks, Serbs hate Bosnians, Nazi's hate Jews, citizens hate immigrants, and everybody is allowed to hate the gays and fat people. Regardless of the combination, there is an underlying basis of feeling superior and therefore more deserving of rights and logic becomes a casualty to corroborate their stand. America is more divided than ever.
Superiority starts early in an adolescent's environment. It is a fallacy that children are taught to hate. Most children that lack guidance are selfish and anyone with a child will agree. Children need to be taught how to respect others and the differences that we all possess.
why not you learn spanish lanugage, usa might be take you into mexican and latino countries.. oh wait a minute look how could they torlaet with you because of your gay? better think twice!! I still stick within english for the rest!

I am a member of an Independent Baptist Church, and we have never been told that women wearing pants is a sin. I know many other members of other Independent Baptist churches, and they don't claim that women wearing pants is a sin. We do believe that women should dress appropriately for the occasion, humbly and modestly, in good taste, and set apart from worldly ways. Our Christian school has a dress code but that doesn't mean non-code clothing is a "sin". For example, women and girls can't wear slacks to school, but slacks are appropriate for doing yard or garden work, or playing sports.deafdyke said:...
It's the way some Independant Baptist Churches believe that women wearing pants is a sin ...

I grew up attending PUBLIC school, and PUBLIC school used to have dress codes that didn't allow girls to wear pants at school. It had nothing to do with "sin". It had to do with professional appearance (for the staff), and orderliness and modesty for the students.

No, I was talking about Religious Right who would crucify Jesus within milliseconds if Jesus claim that there is no sin against homosexuality or homosexuality is natural as kuifje75 stated in his post.Nancy said:That's already been done, Magatsu.

Eve said:Actually, Miss P. it is. "Judge not, lest ye be judged". We are not the judges, God is. It is, however, our duty to spread the gospel and those who decide not to follow after hearing God's word, that is on them. You have spoken, it is well known your position on the matter, and now it is to the point where we need to back off and let God sort the rest. All sins are equal in the eyes of the Lord, therefore it doesn't matter whether it is someone else's choice to continue with a homosexual life style or your choice to judge him/her for it. They are both sins.
That is bizarre. I have very short hair and I only get compliments at church about how cute it looks.jazzy said:My mother was raised baptist and they told her if she cut her hair real short, she goes to hell. No wonder she left Baptist Church, too many bad memories for her.
Contradict with Genesis 1 -- nonsense! God did created a man and a woman -- NOT a man with a man -- NOT a woman with a woman.jazzy said:God created homosexuals.
If so, He would contradict Himself with the Word of God.kuifje75 said:WHAT IFFFFFFF.... Jesus is here and told the world that homosexuality is natural?
Agree!Reba said:Thank you for the verse.
"...Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye."
As the verse shows, Jesus did not say that we are not to judge at all. He said that we must judge ourselves first, repent our sins, and THEN we can judge other brothers' (fellow Christians) sins. He is showing the sequence. Judge self first, clean up self, then judge others.
In other words, make sure that your own Christian life and heart is pure before criticizing another Christian's behavior.
