Go to this site. It will give a different view of the bible's statements on homosexuality, or lack thereof. I wish every Christian would read this and challenge themselves to really study it, but, unfortunately most won't. \nhttp://www.godmademegay.com/letter.htm

I think that it's a strong possibility, but you know that the "christian" homophobes will write you some nastygrams about this question.  Funny how they are both Christians and hate gays.

As I should know, it was Daniel in the lion's den. Not David.\n\n1Sa 29:9  And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.\n\n2Sa 24:17  And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father’s house.\n\n1Ch 21:16  And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.\n\n1Ch 21:18  Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.\n\n1Ch 21:30  But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

Read this quickly, it may be censured by Tammy C.\n\nTammy C is now writing her own Bible. She quoted 1 Corninthians 6: 9-11 as condeming homosexuals. The actual word is effeminent; which is the greek word for incest; not homosexuals.\n\nAnyway, quoting Paul is disrespect for God and Jesus. Paul, himself, would not have wanted you to quote him or worship him by living your life according to him. Paul had no idea that his personal letters to Timothy, or Titus, or the Corinthians would someday be included in the "Book of God".  At the beginning of the second mil. about 1200 AD a group looked at about 150 scrolls and selected the 66 that would become  what we call the Bible.  \n\nIf you want to quote someone, quote Jesus. \n\nNow to answer your question. There is no place that condemns that particular thing. However, if causes disharmony it would be a sin. Why? Harmony is harmony; Disharmony is the only sin against God.\n\n PS. you had better read this quickly. It might be censured in a few minutes.\n\nMary W is writing her own Bible, too.  I am sick of religious leaders making up rules and interpretations of the Bible in order to build their empires and control people's lives.

First chapter of Romans in the New Testament talks about homosexuality, as in 1 Corinthians.  \nYou know, God intended one man and one woman.  But you know also what?\n\nGod loves you, anyway.  \n\nGranted, He detests homosexuality, but He sure loves the homosexual.\n\nYou are very angry.  Why?     I know that before I came to the Lord, if someone tried to talk to me about it, I would get angry. But, then I took the step.  \n\nI'm not angry anymore.

Please read the following link.  It will answer all your questions regarding God, homosexuality, and the Bible.  It is written by a Christian minister <who has pastored in the Baptist church for MANY years> and it covers everything for you and anybody else who cares to read it.\n\nBy the way, the author is NOT gay.

Of course not! what gave you that idea?!\n \n Romans 1:26-26 "That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of a female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males,working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error." \n\n1 Cor 6:9 "What! Do you not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God's kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men."\n\n God hates fornication and homosexuality and lesbianism.  Anyone who practices those things will not inherit God's Kingdom.

The Bible is clearly against homosexuality.  If you are gay, I recommend not believing in the Bible.

No he is not . For when God forgives he also removes the sin and remembers it no more.\nremember removing sin does not do away with the consequence of sin. For example you commit adultery get caught and the husband shoots your arm off . God will forgive the act if you repent as David did .yet you must still live with the results of your actions. Just as David did.\nYet David is spoken of in scriptures as a man after Gods own heart.

Contrary to what liberal theologans say the Bible strictly condems homosexuality. You dont need to get hung up in the old testament with levitical law that they love to pull apart. Look right at the New testament-Romans -vs 26,27. The answer is no one can prove it. Even if it is claimed that a person is "born with it" that changes nothing. Lets try this, Iwas born to be a alcoholic, should I keep drinking although its wrong? Dont let anyone trick you , this culture is trying to ram it down our throats.

It's pretty obvious what God means when He says that it is a detestable thing for a man to lie with another man as a man lies with a woman.\n\nIt is made even more so obvious when you look at 1 Corinthians 6:9.\n\n"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders..."\n\nMade even more obvious in Romans 1:26-27 - "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."\n\nTranslators often use the oldest and most reliable Hebrew manuscripts to write their Bibles. The only differences among the versions are in that of wording, but the collective meaning is not lost (slightly altered, maybe). For instance, in Genesis, the word "yom" is used for "day" in the 24 hours sense, so we can apply that to Genesis 1, which uses "yom" and thus the days of creation took six literal days.\n\nAre you indeed even AWARE what those verses are talking about, or are you just blindly holding to the homosexual's argument that those verses don't really refer to such things, because you sure don't give any substantiation to back up your claims. Your case does not have a point to begin with, because you are just spouting hot water.\n\nAs Paul said in Romans 7:7-8, "What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet." But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead."\n\nThe law (Exodus, Lev., and Deut.) reveals sin for what it is.\n\nMay you find peace from Christ.

He calls homosexuality unnatural and an abomination.\n\nLeviticus 18:22: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."\n\nRomans 1:26-28: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;"

Your question starts with a faulty presupposition.  The King James version has many flaws and does not reflect the best of Textual Criticism that we know today.  That beind said, no significant anti-gay passages were added and the 6 main texts that are used to argue against it are found in the original Hebrew and Greek.

Solomon had a "ménage a mille" (yes, 1,000 between wives & concubines). That was one busy King of Israel, huh! I bet more than gardens were hanging. It was quite the thing back then if you had the wherewithall.

the funny thing is, the original text of the OLD testament didn't say anything about homosexuality being a sin either. the part that's commonly translated to say "a man should not lie with another man as he would lie with a woman, that is detestable" was originally mistranslated on PURPOSE when some homophobic church leaders got together to write the king james version...the original hebrew text translates to "a man should not lie with another man in a woman's bed, that is unclean". so basically there's no restriction on who can have sex with whom, just where they are allowed to do it.

Neither the Torah nor the rabbinic tradition has much to say concerning lesbian relationships. It is the male's "spilling of seed" anywhere other than in the usual "place" that is seen as a sin. \n\nThe Torah seems to see homosexual relations in a cultic context rather than something more parallel to the interpersonal context of heterosexual relationships.\n\nLater Jewish tradition, including the Biblical prophets, makes no reference to homosexuality regarding the sins of Sodom and Gemmorah; these are seen as cruelty and lack of hospitality to the "stranger" - xenophobia, as it were.\n\nReform Judaism, for the most part, seems to view the traditional prohibitions against homosexuality as mores from a bygone age, mores now replaced with clearer understandings of the reality of gender orientation as something which is beyond simple individual "preference." As a whole, the Reform Movement, both the "lay people" and the rabbis have come out very strongly in favor of civil rights for gays and lesbians.
