Please Read Carefully before you post,
I know most people are gutted being that we have a society that is extremely homophobic, but just like you there was a time in Calabar when the birth of twins was also viewed as a taboo so if you have never taken the time out to read and research about this topic I would advice you to do so before you post it doesn't matter what your position is as long as you do it from a position of having examined the facts.

Christian leaders have written about homosexual male-male sexual activities since the first decades of Christianity; female-female sexual behaviour was essentially ignored. Throughout the majority of Christian history most theologians and Christian denominations have viewed homosexual behavior as immoral or sinful. However, in the past century some prominent theologians and Christian religious groups have espoused a wide variety of beliefs and practices towards homosexuals, including the establishment of some 'open and accepting' congregations.

Liberal Christian view

Liberal Christians believe that Biblical passages have been mistranslated or that these passages do not refer to homosexuality. Liberal Christian scholars, like conservative Christian scholars, accept earlier versions of the Bible in Hebrew or Greek. However within these early Bibles there are many terms that liberals have interpreted differently than previous generations of scholars. They are concerned with copying errors, forgery, and of biases among the translators of later Bibles.

Conservative Christian view

Conservative Christians belong to the traditional marriage movement, which believe that only unions between one man and one woman should be legally defined as marriages. They interpret biblical verses on homosexuality to mean that homosexuality is against God's will.
Furthermore, they believe that the heterosexual family is divinely inspired,commanded of God, and that homosexual relationships undermines heterosexual marriage.They interpret some Biblical passages such as "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh"(Gen 2:24) and "Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord"(1 Corn 11:11) as evidence of the God-given nature of the heterosexual family.

Nature or Nurture

In debating sexual orientation, much is unknown; according to Charles Darwin, ", we do not even in the least know the final cause of sexuality.  The whole subject is hidden in darkness." .  Although the APA currently states that sexual orientation is not a choice, rather that ", it emerges from most people in early adolescence with no prior sexual experience" social theorists argue that an individual's upbringing can directly influence this [sexual orientation].  Also tied in with many of these debates is the morality of homosexuality.  But the purpose of this examination is not to prove whether or not homosexuality is right or wrong, but rather to establish a thorough understanding of the biological and social theories surrounding the cause of homosexuality.

In the matters of the truth

my opinion dosnt count especially if its not in line with scriptures.

Scriptures clearly state Homosexuality is an aberration, and is sinful

As a Christian, I do feel Homosexuality is sinful against the Word of the Bible.

But i will not judge one who chooses a life of homosexuality.

One disputed example is located in Ruth 1:14: "Ruth clave unto her", where the Hebrew word translated as clave is identical to the description of a heterosexual marriage in Genesis 2:24.

what about that?

You tell me, What about it?


Its not about Judging, its about correcting.

As Christians we can't afford to have one leg in, one leg out.

If you stand by the Truth, you wont stand by Homosexualism

Oh that is very nice of you to agree.

I just feel that am not one to Judge a fellow mortal for choosing their path.

There is a higher power that has that in control.(God)

That one who choose this way of life will answer to the Almighty God on Judgment Day and speak their peace.

The bible says JUDGE with righteous judgement

Shanking this, dosnt make you any better.

This is one trap many Christians have fallen into

All I'm saying Gamine is that when i come across one who chooses this lifestyle, of course i will tell them what they do is sinful against The Bible.

If that person knows that then, that is there business.

God knows the fate of these people.

Sure.

There is no 2 ways around or about it, it is a terrible thing.
God is so against it and why would i wanna accomodate it or even people that priactise such? God destroyed Soddom cos of this.
Let us leave bible out of it, why would a man wanna have sex with another man, how sickning could that be, when there are more ladies than men sef.

We cannot leave the Bible out of it.

Homosexuality is as innocent as Drinking Water to some people.

We can only stand on the Bible, which clearly states the Natural order

in which God created this world to apply to.

i am with you on the statement, however, just would like to understand, why a man would wanna leave a nice lady and wanna be screwing a man, what a gross thing.
Adam and Eve aint same as Adam and steve.

Provide the scriptural evidence that homosexuality is sinful. If it is sinful, is it immoral?

Divorce and Chrisitanity: What is you position?


Cursing and Christianity: What is your position?

make that a different thread

I'd rather and I think that we should condone someone becoming a outrightly gay person, than a closet gay. Whereby they pretend to build a family, are married to a woman, have kids and just living a false lie.  I think that lying is more harmful to the children, woman, and society at large.

Any sin is harmful to the Society-at large


Exactly, create another thread.

I can give you the biblical position on it

my own opinion is irrelevant

Leviticus 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."

Do not make a mistake, God loves even those that are practicing homosexualism, but hates the deeds.

Because that is HIS choice in life. If he wants to live that life, that is his choice. To i agree with it, not at all, but im not going to judge him for it.

It isnot a matter of what we think is right, and we are not talking about not condoning the pple doing those things, but cant condone the deeds.

Its always the Subject, never the OBject

@onyinye, please stop saying that abeg

My goal here is not to create a thread but imply that everything seems questionable under the christian religion.

@ A_K_O Thank you!!!

If you have a problem with it, then leave. No one is forcing you to be Christian or to believe in Christ. It is a choice.

You asked why a man would leave a woman to go to another man, and i answered.

Questionable?

The bible is plain

nothing hidden
