My impression from the Christians on this site (myself included) is that we are trying to at least clear up the confusion about Christianity and the Bible, but whether or not anyone is interested I can't say. \n\n My personal feeling is that if you're going to reject something, say Christ, you should at least know about what you're rejecting.  Some people do understand and reject what the Bible says, but most don't understand at all and have all kinds of pre-conceived notions that they've learned from the culture at large.

It is not an insult to Christians to wonder about the human qualities of Christ as a man. From what you see in the Bible ther is no reason to think he was not straight. The hanging about with men bit was just a reflection of the society he lived in. Having said that he had very liberated views towards women - (Mary and Martha, the adulteress etc). If you don't know what I am talking about - look it up!

well, he did not need to say it because Jews were not practicing it!\n\nJesus fulfilled the law, but the law is still used to show us about sin!\n\nHomosexuality is sin! the romans and greeks practiced it so Paul's letters address it!\n\nif you like men, be their friend not their lover!

I doubt if he was taking meth. That was just a cover-up for his homosexuality. The other man denied selling him meth. He seems a lot more honest than the pastor. It was about sex, not meth. He has resigned from the church. His days of leading or fleecing the sheep are over. I can forgive people for their short comings, lord know I have mine, but to criticise and condemn others for doing the same thing you are is unforgivable. Hypocrisy is the real sin in this case. He is only sorry that he has been outed. He would have kept doing the same thing and leading a double life if the other man hadn't come out with the truth.

This is a difficult issue, I'm afraid. The Old Testament forbids sex between men. There is a passage (Romans 1)quoted by many Christians, which apparently says that God hates same sex sex - if you can get you head around that double. However, if you read it properly, it's condemning people who are so sexually jaded that they will try anything once, so to speak.\n"18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. \n21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. \n24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. \n26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In 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. \n28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. " \nNOTE - the bad words aren't homophobic - they are directed at the whole society. Some of the bad things are symptoms of a whole attitude.\nAs a Christian myself, I don't know what God thinks about same sex love. But I know he does love the lovers - whatever. \nI think Christians could be more loving in their approach to those with homosexual feelings. \nI think that's what makes gays and lesbians so angry and upset. Honest confusion is to be preferred. It's God who will judge people's hearts, not us!

The New Testament was not meant to be a new law book for us to be put under after being freed from the burden of the old law book. Most Christians say unless your spouse commits adultery, you're stuck with them. If they're an ax murderer, a gang banger, satanic high priest, or as I read on this site recently, a soon to be trans-sexual, thats too bad. As long as they haven't cheated on you. Didn't Jesus rebuke the pharisees on several occasions for putting the written code above love and compassion? And didn't Paul say that God called His children to live in peace? Didn't the Lord command us to judge rightly?\n\nLegally speaking, in God's eyes, there is no such thing as divorce. In fact, in His eyes your spouse isn't the first person you walk down the aisle with, it is the first person you sleep with. Study it for yourself in the Old Testament. By this standard I wonder how many of us are "legally" married.\n\nIn the Old Testament(I forgot exactly where) there was a mass divorce because a lot of the Israelites married pagan women against God's express prohibition against it. These women did not commit adultery and God still hated divorce, but this mass divorce was a neccessary evil. Also, in the Law, the remedy for an unfaithful spouse was stoning not divorce. \n\nChristians are using the Bible as a rule book and completely missing the deep and beautiful spiritual truths it contains just like the Jews did with the Torah. They're reading it with carnal rather than spiritual eyes. God's marriage laws were meant to protect the innocent.\n\nThat all being said, remember that God does hate divorce and so should you.\n\nWalk in LOVE not law.

It's totally relative. I don't think that there's anything wrong with having pre-marital sex if the context around it is right. There's no way for us to know what God thinks about it. Some religious people would think that it was alright if it was in the context of a loving and caring relationship and birth control were used. Others would say that it is a terrible sin and that we shouldn't even use birth control. What could possibly make one of these views more valid then the rest? I think that a lot of people would think that at 17 you are ready to make a responsible decision about sex and I am one of these people. If you think that you are going to feel guilty about it then don't do it. If you think that you love her and it will help you express your love, then consider it.

One of the many reasons I left the Christian Faith.  Damn women oppressing Nazis!\nEDIT_THIS IS WHAT TICKS ME OFF!  In one breath most Christians will tell you that being gay is an abomination, and in the next, they decide they don't want this one to apply.  You can't have it both ways.  Either you follow the Bible or you don't.  This is why people call Christians lying hypocrites.

You can not tell me you really think your going to make a difference when you have a active sex life, and that God cares?\nGod gave a book to read, he gave us messages to obey, and dude, you have no clue, \nnone about what God wants, he is not flesh, nor blood, he could care less about sex, he has no sex parts.\nGet over yourself

Jesus never condoned sex outside of marriage and is believed to have been celibate for his entire unmarried life. I think he would be closer to the viewpoint of the Catholic Church.\n\nThe Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual. But homosexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy.\n\nThe Church specifically says that homosexuals "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."\n\nWith love in Christ.

I don't think I agree with you here.  What does wearing a condom have to do with having premarital sex.  Has alot to do with not getting pregnant but nothing to do with not having premarital sex.  I believe Christian adults are doing a very poor job with our children in teaching them the holiness of sex within marriage -- of teaching them how to be set apart from this world -- of teaching them very early in life about sex and how it is intended to be a blessing to two people within the marriage covenant.  \n\nThe selling of sex in our culture around us permeates the thoughts and minds of our Christian young people because we have not taught them how to separate themselves from this world.  We let them view sexually stimulating movies and then are surprised when they act out the immoral sexual activity they have viewed on the movie screen.\n\nChristians are called to no longer conform to this world.  I see much more conforming of young Christians to the world than I see the world being transformed by young Christians.  And sadly that is because many adult Christians interact with the world in the same way.

Yeah! i agree with you 100% and a lot of them that i've talked to claim that it doesn't "SPECIFICALY" say that its wrong in the bible and uhhh hello! Leviticus 18:22, "Do not lie with another man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable." So my advice would be attack them with their own source of their job, the bible and god, also im pretty sure god wouldn't have song of solomon in the bible with a man and a woman instead of two men or two women. I mean c'mon people use some common sense! Like there was this gay guy and his bf that wanted to come to our youth group and we obiously had no prob. w/ it except it was really wierd and he claimed there was nothing wrong with it! HOW DARE HIM! i tried to not get upset and be respectful because its the devil whispering in his ear and ya don't fight fire with fire\n\n\n\n\nGod made adam and eve not adam and steve... lol sry, cheesy :)

If he's really big on the idea of no sex before marriage, perhaps he feels the temptation is too big if he starts petting.  Maybe he thinks that if he engages in that sort of behavior, he is "sinning" already, intercourse or not.  And I must admit, it's not too far fetched to suggest he might be gay---Even deeply religious young couples tend to make out and express their feelings physically, whether or not they "go all the way."

According to the Christian religion it is wrong. Jesus said specifically not to say any bad words without a qualification that being in the bedroom is ok. Now, we have a free will but He said not to do it.

I'm not really a big fan of religious regulations, but I'll give my 2 cents anyway :).\n\nThough I don't have great knowledge of the Hindu religion, I know they place considerable regard on a woman's virginity at the time of marriage. As a result, it may be perceived a 'sin' for a woman to have had a sexual relationship prior to her wedding. The way I see it however, if the Hindu girl made the decision to engage in extra-marital sex with someone she loves who returns her feelings of affection, it really shouldn't be an issue lest the couple themselves chooses to make it one.
