Alright, this kid... I think he's a homosexual and likes me becuase I'm nice ot him, but he won't come out and say it. I feel like he's afriad to say it becuase everyone in my school is a gay basher... now, I believe homosexuality is a sin, and I'm not a homosexual... I guess my problem is. I don't want to lead this guy on. I told him about holly and it's like the conversation instantly dropped... >.> Ugh, I don't know what the heck I should do...

if you want to see how i feel about homosexuals read this quote from a debate im having:

i was raised in the belife that homosexuality is immoral. i can agree to dissagree with you and acid bath slayer. neither of you have "proven anything". the only thing you can do is sway what other people belive and do not believe. I can exlpain why homosexuality is believed a moral sin in the christian religion:

- Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.

It is anamobination to the lord, and here was the penalty:

- Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.

Now, of course this is the old testament. so we can't just jump the gun on this. The rules change in the new testament, becuase jesus is born and dies and the gap between man's sin and God's kingdom is broken. We have to look at some new testament verses.

- Romans 1:24-27 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.

God gave people up the their passions... meaning... they went to hell. He let them follow their own path, and they didn't choose what he had commanded. This is a letter from pual to the curch in rome. At the time chirstians in the church of rome were lost in sexual sin. Romans back then had alot of sex... tons... like, it was nuts... so paul had to wright about it telling them what God had told him what was right and what was wrong.

there are other verses in the blble other than these, but they require more understanding of the scriptures.

From a biblical stand piont, God made men to be with women and women to be with men. He aparently considers it to be an abomination for men to use their bodies the wrong way. The bible does not command us to hate homosexuals. We shouldn't have a problem with them doing their thing.

There are some religous sections of the christian church that interprate the bible to say that homosexuality is ok. Yes, this is very plausible... It's also not an essencial part of the christian religion. The most important thing is that you love Jesus> if you love Jesus(God)> you will obey his word and keep his commandments to the ebst of your ability. Interpreting the scripture is important when you want to obey him, becuase if you don't you won't know what he says about the many different topics that come up all arounf you. Look if you truley belive that loving Jesus is being a homosexual. Then thats fine. Personally, for me loving Jesus is choosing to believe that it's not ok. I will not risk interpreting the scripture the wrong way. It's better to not do it at all than to find out that its wrong when I try get to heaven. why take the risk of doing something that could be so wrong that i could goto hell. Plus, I love women I have a beautiful girl friend that I love.

The bible does not say to hate homosexuals, but the bible does give the impression that homosexuality is a sin. Some may interpret the bible differently, but as for me homosexuality is a moral sin. I will continue to respect homosexuals, but i believe that they are risking the chance of going to hell for their own sexual desires.

I beleive that people become homosexuals base upon the environments that they grow up in. the bible says:

- Pro 22:6, Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

This doesn't refer to just children it goes for anyone. Your environment is want trains you as a person. Your parents, your friends, your co-workers, your teachers... pretty much anyone or anything you respect will have an influence on your opinion training you to become to person that you will be. So, in some ways homosexuality is not chosen. even from a biblical prospective.

don't take this the wrong way... I still care about them as people and I care about their feelings but I believe that the act of homosexuality is utterly wrong
