immorality is the gay platform - most gay tendencies lead to sex marriage adoption . homosexuality is anti - holy it goes against the natural life -you can not have a baby naturaly. there for you can not promote life - because homosexuality was created as evil by the devil - a believe all this homo stuff is a fad - for librals to live an immoral life -to do what they want in the end you will be eatten by the devil himself
Why are the men mentioned separately if they meant all of the people in the town. There is usually a reason for mentioning the men separately…like they want a count of how many people there were there. There are places in the NT where this is done. But it does not fit with this particular story.
The OT and the NT speaks of homosexual acts as grave sins. In the OT it was a killing offense. In the NT, people were excommunicated.
Truth is love. If you avoid one, you also avoid the other. If you are unwilling to embrace the truth as preserved in Scripture and not the lies about gays as found outside of it, then what do you think that says about your love towards your brother, especially if you claim to be a Christian? Jesus immortalized the command to love your brother AS YOU WOULD YOURSELF. He even regarded it as one of the two laws from which all the others rely. As a result, I am more compassionate towards the rights of individuals to live lives that are not stigmatized and misrepresented than the right of the “legitmate theological opinion”, to stigmatize, misrepresent, and lie about the lives of others. To do so, “classically” even, as you admit, behind the guise of religion and within the face of scriptural truths is indeed “hate”. And sadly, too many “Christians” are blinded by it.
“Homosexual acts”? I’m assumming you’re taking this general terminology to incude females as well. If so, then where in the OT does God address them?
While you’re at it, do you mind posting the scriptures that promote slavery, head coverings for women, polygamy, interest free loans, and the idea that it’s okay to throw your daughters to an angry mob for appeasement, just to name a few. And since your above post is your out-of context approach to scripture, then you won’t mind listing the scriptures to support the stipulations I provided either.dempsey,
it doesn’t matter what is being said on TV. what matters is what the Bible teaches.
Rom.1:22-32
Rom 1:21 For 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.
Rom 1:22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
Rom 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
Rom 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
Rom 1:25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator–who is forever praised. Amen.
Rom 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.
Rom 1:27 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.
Rom 1:28 Furthermore, 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.
Rom 1:29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,
Rom 1:30 slanderers, God‑haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
Rom 1:31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
Rom 1:32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve
See also Lev.18:22, 20:13, 1Cor. 6:9-10
what is your opinion now?

Before his explaination let me first ask you. Just for the record, to whom or what do you attriburte your current understanding that Gen. 19:5 is a reference in support of the reasoning that Sodom was destroyed because of homosexuality.
You accused someone else of being unbiblical, so where in the Bible do you get that scripture? Or that idea for that matter?
Out of context???

Hi pnewton,We are not in Church.
Posting here is not an excercise of authority.
It is also soundless.
Both of these passages refer to women in liturgical and ecclessial setting. This place is neither. The topic here is not the role of women, although you could start a thread on the topic. If you are implying women shouldn’t be allowed to post here, then that would need to go into the suggestion box.
No, my opinion is that you used the verse for something it was not intended, switched subject and threw up a red herring. The verse above is unrelated to homosexuality.
Exactly! The Catholic Church could not be any clearer on this subject. It is also interesting that Conservative Protestantism and Evangelicalism also condemns active homosexuality as sinful. Furthermore, both Islam and Conservative Judaism regard homosexuality as sinful. Catholicism is not the only major world religion that condemns active homosexuality. This fact alone shows that homosexuality is widely disagreed with.
Hi pnewton,
It is against the natural order. Human sexual activity is primarily designed for reproduction. Homosexual sexual acts cannot bring children into the world. Presenting homosexual sex acts as ordered or normal goes against these principles.
Hi Steve.
Are you here on a Catholic website to insult Catholics for being Catholic as a choice or is it genetic? Nature or nurture?
