    having sex with opposite sex has a big sin and God may forgive it but having sex with same sex has a huge sin an never forgive by God.
    and it's applies to lesbians. there is no difference between Gays and lesbians.

    I Have to side with phee on this one.

    There is nothing you can do that god cannot forgive. As long as you repent for it.

    i told in my second post.
    it depends on sinful person,, if s/he attempts for forgiveness God may forgive him/her.

    There is nothing in the bible which mentions homosexuality. The verses which people use as examples of biblical condemnation are all in the Old Testament (and therefore specious concerning Christianity) and are all actually condemning pederasty.

    The Old Testament is provided in the Christian bible to give context, not to provide any kind of religious guidance.

    That is not entirely correct. The Greek scriptures contain various texts which state that homosexuality is not accepted by god. Romans 1:24-32; 1 Timothy 1:9-11; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 are pretty clear.


    As far as my opinion goes over this, I think the law should allow it but no one should be mad at the churches for following what the bible says.

    These passages don't say that homosexuality is not accepted by God.

    Romans 1:26-27: Paul is writing this letter to Rome after his missionary tour of the Mediterranean. On his journey Paul had seen great temples built to honor Aphrodite, Diana, and other fertility gods and goddesses of sex and passion instead of the one true God the apostle honors. Apparently, these priests and priestesses engaged in some odd sexual behaviors -- including castrating themselves, carrying on drunken sexual orgies, and even having sex with young temple prostitutes (male and female) -- all to honor the gods of sex and pleasure.

    1 Timothy 1:9-11 says nothing of homosexuality, simply that of perverts, which is mentioned above.

    1 Corinthians 6:9-11 talks about homosexual offenders. Not homosexuals themselves. Homosexual offences were considered things like man+male child. The King James version, one of the closest translations, says "abusers of themselves and mankind." This passage is talking about homosexual rape, not homosexual acts.

    What is the difference between the 2nd and 3rd option.. Both say no

    I think it's a poll-breaker. An attempt to rise the first option.

    My imaginary friend is very opinionated as well, he is always having a go at me for the things which I enjoy, he even has a bit of a problem with my heterosexuality.

    What I find works best is to just ignore him and retain the pursuit of happiness and self-approval.

    Don't worry, there is no hell when you die and lets say I am wrong and chance favours the 0% probability. It's probably just like a hot bath that you eventually get used to. I mean, there is nothing I enjoy enough that I would like to do forever, I don't mind pizza but, if heaven involves eating pizza everyday I would imagine pizza will quickly become the one thing I despise more than anything else. Do games get released in heaven? What speed broadband do they have?

    Back on topic, if you are the kind of person who buys into the whole god is real schtick and assume that everyone is made in his image. If some people are born gay, doesn't that mean god is a little bit gay?

    Religion is essentially just an organised response to the panic of death, try not to make it all about hatred and gay-bashing, you're making it look silly and unbelievable.

    First of all, Dancer, I would appreciate it if you not to try to make us religious people look stupid. I have already had this problem with Foxxie, and would prefer to not have it happen again.

    Now back to the actual debate.

    Not necessarily. When somebody says that, they are speaking of his personality traits such as love and compasion. If we were to take that literally than we would all look the same.

    And @ Realusionist- If you're really that worried, then add the two latter scores. The poll didn't have as much thought and/or options as it needed. We've already talked about that.
