What the Bible says on Gays

Do you know what the Bible says about abortion? NOTHING. Abortion is NEVER mentioned in the Bible. The Bible also says a woman must leave her home for the time in which she is unclean (having her period). You are not to work on Sunday, touch a pig, which means to never touch a football (it isn't called pigskin for nothing), hate is also a sin, as is gluttony (calling all over weight people), some argue piercing your ears is a sin as it defiles the body as do tattoos. And we all know the body is the temple of the Lord. Lying is a sin and so is disobeying your husband and your parents. And the minute you judge me, you have fallen from grace as well, for only the Lord may judge.

I am a Christian but I can't go along with everything that you have written here. We have to consider that what we consider as the Bible is a conpendium of many tablets and stories passed on down through the ages. Don't get me wrong..I have read the Bible twice en toto and read some chapters over and over again (Job, the Psalms and Proverbs especially). However, when it is used as a reference book to create anti-gay debates I have to draw the line. Just because its in the Bible doesn't necessarily make it so. Remember that the contents of the Bible have undergone translation after translation by many Biblical scholars and as you know many things can be lost or exagerated in translation. I think it's high time we left the gays alone and let them find happiness and love in a way that is best for them. They don't judge you for being a Christian so as it is written in the Bible.....Judgement is mine, saith the Lord.

HAHAHAHAHA...HAHAHAHA! First of all: I will say it once, I've said it so many times that the bible has been reconstructed so many times. It's probably been reconstructed more times than Michael Jackson's nose. Second of all: I will also say this once, and so many times that you should form your own opinions based on your experiences. Third of all: You are obviously looking for money. This topic has been repeated countless amounts of times. Go find another topic instead of making another one.

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I also have mine....I believe the bible was written by people that used their own thoughts as to the meaning of God's words.This does not necessarily mean that the meanings written by them are accurate. Gays are born gay and since God creates everything and everyone, that means he created gay people too. If God created it ....then it can't be a bad thing! The only one anyone, including gay people, should have to answer to is God, so why don't we just leave it up to Him to do the judging and try to get along as God would want us to do?

yes, gays must not be hated, they have sinned, of course, but as long as they accept the Lord, im sure they will be able to repent and change themselves. once they do, they will always be accepted in the kingdom of God.

i understand your point. but i don't hate gays. which is really a bit unfair the way i see it. according to studies, we women don't only have estrogens (which makes us feel feminine and helps out in our female body structure), but we also have have male hormones inside our body. that's why we have a certain amount of strength, too. however, it is lesser than the estrogens we have. just like in males, they also have estrogens in their body. some are lucky because they only have this very small amount of estrogen in them. however, for those who are unlucky, they do have massive amount of estrogens inside them that's why they feel so feminine. that's why i don't blame them if they feel that way. i do respect them for as long as they look like someone who's worth my respect.

If we want to be saved, we should follow the Holy Bible.

And of course, we *all* know that if the Bible says so, it must be correct, right? Right? And how do we know this? Oh, yes, it's because we know the Bible is true. How do we know the Bible is true? Oh, yes, because it's the word of God. How do we know God exists? Oh, yeah, because it says so in the Bible. Ever heard of a circular argument? It's really just stating what you believe without giving any independent, rational evidence for it. I believe quoting passages from the Bible to prove your point falls into this category. ::fallacy buzzer:: Oops, you have selected an invalid option. Please try again.

All I can say, is there is a lot of ignorance about this subject. All are God's Children and we should love them no matter what. Open your minds and hearts, people.

All you God lovers keep pointing fingers at those that are different from you while you squat on your knees praying for their very souls. Well get a life and instead of spending your time reading the bible get off your knees and do something useful. Stop going to forums and posting religious crap and go feed a poor person, maybe even walk a mile in their shoes. Your God is sitting somewhere watching all the crap that goes on in his world and doing diddley squat while others die and suffer. Some God you have there.

The bible contridicts itself verse after verse after verse. So many sins are placed in the bible and everyday we break a sin. Looking at another person in a lustful way while married i.e "oh hes hot" and that person you are calling hot NOT be your husband. Sin after sin after sin, if you dont want to sin you have to pretty much live in a cardboard box. Homosexuals are apart of our culture whether you like it or not. There is nothing you can do about it, and we should learn to NOT judge those who are living in sin, but ask the lord to forgive them and one day help them. But its not in our right to judge or argue with them, throwing up verses in a bible will not help.

Blah blah blah. The Bible is rubbish. Anyone who takes any of that literally has a mental problem. Stay out of peoples lives. Is yours that boring that you have to worry about who consenting adults sleep with?

I'm wiccan myself and I personally feel that if two people can find love then they are blessed. All too often you find relationships coming and going like a revolving door. I don't normally get into religious discussions but I do hope that rather than have a hard heart, others can be happy and accepting when a couple find true, honest genuine love. Many blessings and yes, I am married...have a husband I love dearly...

The only people who need to be saved are those who don't believe in freedom, and yet they think they are right and good and have their nice spot assured in heaven. Everybody should be free to do what they want till they can leave unviolated the same right to all other people. End of story.

every religion always use the bible as a basis to stop homosexuality. but think about it, if you really believe that God is good and he loves us all, will he hate and punish the homosexuals? if yes,then what kind of God do you believe in? i don't think God is narrow minded and selfish, how bout you?

You know, I think I'll wait until I hear what God thinks about homosexuality when I hear it directly from him. There are so many interpretations and translations of the Bible, I'd really like to hear it from the source. Until then I don't believe I'll decide to condem anyone for how they were born. ~Wyrdsister

Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:" John 8:7 "...He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." Now that the bible quotes are out of the way, let's talk about love. If more "religious" people would spend more time loving their fellow man the world might be a better place. Stop worrying about someone else's "sins" (I use that term loosely) and see to your own.

the western world is so liberal even with the things of God. we in africa find homosexuality an aberration. have you heard of any other specie of animal being homosexual? please drum it so everyone can hear.

not only bible, almost scriptural words are misunderstood by its readers. There is no meaning to discuss the religious matter without understanding its real meaning. In bible, Jesus himself said that his words are in proverb and further he said that scriptures are misunderstood.
