How you continually extrapolate these things into "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!," (Col 2:21) is beyond me. I don't. You must do it in the lawful (Godly) way, which the Bible CLEARLY tells us is MARRIAGE. Homosexual sex is often mentioned with unlawful, or unnatural sex. As for your accusation that I misrepresented God's word, I find it comedic that you posted the very definition I used. Guilt is nothing more than grief over what you have done. It cannot, in that scripture, have any other meaning. Sorry. I really don't think that he is talking about the kind of feelings that I have for my friends. You are using pure emotion to make a spiritual decision. Just because you think what you feel is love, doesn't make it so. If homosexuality was so acceptable by God, why must you go so far just to suggest that the Bible doesn't address righteous gay relationships? If it was accepted by God, why wouldn't God see to it that it was mentioned right along with marriage? The only way you can suggest that God accepts homosexual relationships is to deny that the Bible is God's Word. I would also like you to address my question to JohnDoe420: Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 10:7 For this cause * * shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 10:8 And they twain shall be one * * flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Now, marriage requires nothing but a vow between a man and woman to each other and God. Let's go even further. 1 Corinthians 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 7:2 Nevertheless *, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Now, what is Paul telling the Church of Corinth? It would be ideal that a man never have sex with a woman (i.e. if he could COMPLETELY dedicate his life to God). However, since very few possess that strength, we should get married in order to avoid fornication. Now, if, indeed, we could enjoy sex, outside of marriage, why then would he make this statement? ......the most important question, being the last sentence. BTW, I hope you know that the line you quoted from me is straight out of the Bible. RF |
