For me to accept what you state, you have to prove to me that Christ Himself gave you the authority to interpret and/or translate Scripture correctly.

Can you do that?
Now how exactly would I or anyone else be able to do that?

Why shouldnt you?
What makes your translation and/or your interpretation of these Biblical passages superior to mine? Or superior to the Church’s?

What makes you say that it isnt?
By suggesting it’s “unclear,” then you imply it should be accepted.

Not at all.

What I am saying is that (for me anyway) I would want to be 100% certain of something before I attack someones chosen “lifestyle” for being wrong/immoral. Since it is not clear, I cant say that it is wrong (I can say that I dont agree with it, which I dont being hetrosexual).
Tell me, what did Christ say to do when there was a dispute? Did He tell us to go to the Bible or to go to the Church?

Why dont you tell me.
We DO know, and we CAN know.

Sadly, we dont know. Although it would make things easier if we did know.
Christ anticipated matters like these; that’s why he set up a Church and gave it teaching authority.

No comment.
Actually, homosexuality was an issue because it (homosexuality) was practiced in pagan cultures, and a lot of pagan converts to Christianity had to be taught why homosexual acts were immoral. Which is why the Church taught about it in the earliest centuries.

Yet is isnt mentioned in the Gospels.

Also this was covered in your Romans Scripture quote you did earlier.

Thank you for writing this. This is an excellent example of the issue, his post is clear he believes in Gay marriage and you laugh at he for that, at least now you acknowledge that.

It matters what you consider sexual intercourse to be…

Yes I spent a month at a hospital for personal reasons and yes, I’m looking for a BF.

You need to stay chaste and not have relations with another outside of a sacramental marriage which automatically excludes any kind of active homosexual relationship. I echo what He Man says about this issue. Go to confession and stay chaste. Pray to God for strength and the ability to do His will (which most assurdedly is **not **having homosexual relations). I’d suggest looking up your nearest chapter of the support group Courage.

I’m not afraid of homosexuals. That’s what homophobia is. Homophobia is an irrational fear of homosexuality. ,

FYI homophobia manifests in many ways to include attacks of innocent people.

I do not understand your post at all. That may seem strange but it is not the words as you have been clear. However the thing that confuses me is how a gay person around me or you affects us in any way differently than a non gay person?

Also I notice you separate SSA ( same sex attraction) from homosexuals, but when you use the term ‘gay’ I am not sure which group you refer to, please clarify

Thank you for your honest
 
^^^ ^^^ ^^^

They don’t affect me. I will be honest and say that I have a lady friend who is a lesbian. As I have already said, my Uncle was a practicing homosexual. I still loved him but I do not condone his sinful lifestyle.

I do not hate gays. I hate the behaviour. It is wrong. Anyone who says differently is a liar.

The OP needs to know what he is doing is wrong. There are no ifs and buts about it.

Never denied it. The whole concept of gay marriage is laughable!
 
It’s pretty easy to say be chaste

I’m supposed to be alone my whole life?

Hi, Teen.

As a teenager, it seems completely impossible to consider a life of chastity. But as you get older, even by ten years or so, you’ll find it’s not as big a deal as it now seems.

Our culture makes having sex mean EVERYTHING. And in the GLBTT community, losing one’s virginity is like a rite of passage that allows you to call yourself part of the community. I remember working with 12 year olds who were desperate to lose their virginity.

Being chaste has nothing to do with being alone. Live with roommates, and get totally and completely involved in making a difference in the lives of others instead of sitting around worrying about when you’ll be able to have sex again. I have been married and divorced, I’m the mom of a little wild child, and I teach over 500 students. But I am still far more “alone” than I ever was as a single woman.

Honestly, I’ve been there and know the feelings of longing. And as a single (and extremely passionate) woman, I know the temptations to dwell on passion as the only way to be loved, cared for, accepted. But really, Teen, if you open your heart to true love, you’ll find that love, care and acceptance expressed everywhere around you, if you’ll just see it for what it is.

God bless.
Gertie
