I think its pretty assumptive to claim that he has "an obsession" with the issue; it gets brought up, and he responds to it. As for God, I cannot hope to speak for Him, but I believe that this "obsession" of His is simply because it is a sin.
He stated his initial beliefs about homosexuality ("Hey sad person, you're a sinner and god disapproves") after somebody who was not talking to Cryxis mentioned it in in the sad thread. Cryxis created this thread because he wanted to talk more about his religious beliefs.
I feel like I've stated my belief that marriage is left for men and women only and that I am not well studied in why and other similar circumstances
So basically- same gender marriage should not be allowed 'because my preacher says so'?
Because it's a sin in gods eyes in my belief
I'm not well studied in the infertility part not the same sex marriage
If you've payed attention to any of my posts you would know my position on the same sex marriage thing
Can you stop beating the dead horse now?
You're not being consistent. We've talked about why you believe god thinks it's a sin, but logically concluding these things leads to things which you disagree with- so it essentially comes down to 'my preacher says god doesn't like gays', because that's the only rationalisation you have for believing homosexuality is a sin.
You can either justify your beliefs (and no, you haven't really justified them in any consistent way) or you can say that you just have them for no reason, but otherwise the discussion doesn't really stop at your say so.
This thread is for anybody wanting to share their Christian beliefs
And yes I have given verses which support my belief and if you keep asking me to justify myself I will ignore it because it's getting annoying that I can't justify myself without having to justify myself for justifying myself
Leviticus 18:22
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
Romans 1:26-28
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
There now that I've given scripture on why I beleive the way I do can you stop telling me to repeat what I've already said?
