[BIBLEDRB]Leviticus 20:13[/BIBLEDRB]

While they are not to be put to death no more, the Book of the Law is rather explicit on homosexuality

and in the NT

[BIBLEDRB]1 Timothy 1:9-10[/BIBLEDRB]

I interpret those who defile themselves with mankind, as a reference to homosexuality, while in other bibles it openly states homosexuality.

You forgot the Big one!!

Romans 1

26Because 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.

28Furthermore, 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.

THIS POLL IS ANONYMOUS, PLEASE READ EACH OPTION TO ENSURE YOU ARE PICKING THE CORRECT OPTION.

With all of the changes happening recently in the Episcopal and ELCA Lutheran churches regarding Homosexuality, I thought I would start a poll to determine the current state of the forum.

The ELCA and Episcopal churches are saying that a committed homosexual relationship where homosexuals of the same sex are committing fornication outside of Marriage or Holy Matrimony is not a sin according to the Bible or by God.

Same sex sexual acts flat out are a sin. Scripture calls them an abomination. No defense whatsoever IMHO. Anyone thinking they are “ok” are just making stuff up for their own benefit or justification.
 
I know that the physical act of intimacy between people of the same sex is a sin; the Bible says so

I do not think that the thought in itself is sinful as long as one has no intention of acting upon that thought

However, I have opted not to vote in your poll; with all due respect, your poll has two major flaws:
  • First; it is on a Catholic forum, where most of us believe (if not know) that same sex activity is sinful
  • Second; even if the above were not true, heterosexuals form the majority of the world’s population and same-sex attraction is a concept alien to them
In any event, the poll will do nothing but to act as a divisive tool; those who have an agenda to promote the rights of same sex couples will, quite rightly, complain that they are yet again being berated by the ‘Catholic Bible Bashers’
The Catholics will ofcourse be irritated that a question which has been resolved by the Bible is being put to the test again

For my part, I am in a technically lesbian relationship; and I cannot offer any guarantees to God that it will always remain a non-physical relationship although my partner and I will both do our best that it does; but someone once told us that we are humans first and lesbians second; and in the past, humans have sinned; we are nobody special
 
I’ll disagree slightly with my church and say that the acts are sinful.

That said, as all humans do, I will commit various sins throughout my life, and I hope to be forgiven. So I think that God could forgive the transgressions of a gay lifestyle, for how are their sins so much more than mine? And even if gay acts are evil, can the U.S. under its constitution actually forbid civil unions?

For me this constant debate over gay marriage takes away from real issues that the Church must address. It distracts us from encouarging adoptions (in potential abortion cases) and it prevents us from serving others, as Jesus would want us to.
 
This poll is a good indicator that the Catholic Church is the one Faithful & True … to the scriptures.

The majority of Protestants have compromised away their morals.
 
I believe that the Bible prohibits not only Homosexual Acts, but also inclinations. But we’re all sinners anyways.

LOL, or the poll was done on a Catholic message board and that is why the majority of votes are Catholic.

I think the poll points out that the Eastern Orthodox are the true church where the Holy Spirit resides because there have been NO Orthodox that have voted that it is not sinful.

Only a small sample of them have voted … 4-5 in #.

Lets see how the trend develops over time. I’d say we need at least 20 of the orthodox to vote ‘inblock’ against. Then, you might have a valid point.

Say now, how would your AOG brethren vote ?

Remember now, every church has some tares in it. Look at the Judas Priests our Catholic Church is having to be purged of right now. satan always attacks the Christian ‘strongholds’ … in attempts to embarrass and destroy the Church of Christ.

I agree exactly with what you are saying, but the person I replied to was using faulty logic and statistics.

That’s quite unfair. Shall we bring up the pediphile problem to combat your silly comment? At least the protestant denominations that openly accept homosexuals are consistent.

The Bible teaches clearly that homosexuality is wrong, a sinful destortion of God’s plan for sex.

It’s also an idiotic response. A simple poll and sure enough leave it to a Roman Catholic to find some way to state they are the true church and nobody else is. 2.4 billion Christians in the world, 900 million Roman Catholics and this narrow minded individual puts stock into 100 responses as fortifying their opinion.

No disrespect but homosexual acts are a sin period end of story. Paul explains this in Romans and still to this day we don’t get it:shrug:
 
Nope. I don’t at all, not same sex unions, not unions of different sexes, not polyamrous relationships…as long as they are consenting adults and everyone is honest, aboveboard and no one is being harmed.
What people do in the privacy of thier bedroom is thier concern. Not mine.
