That’s a good thought. In my heart, I know what God wants. Our asking questions to double check what is God’s desires, is good. God has made things beautiful for us. Worldly things expose us to complicated choices. Do we keep asking the same questions, hoping we get a different answer over time. Like wearing the audience out, so they change their tune(?).
God will always want the hardest choice from us. Like a sacrifial lamb must be perfect, not blind or infirmed. Sexual matters have choices that can endanger ourselves. We should have alarms go off. If they don’t alarm, what does that say about us??
Referring to Alex w this reply, also.

Well for me it says that I’ve considered the topic in depth and don’t believe homosexuality is a sin 🙂

One unavoidable old tradition is this: Humanity is comprised of men and women. Men and women are sexually complementary, having complementary reproductive systems.

Marriage exists only because there are men and women.

Had there just been two Adam’s or two Eve’s, none of us would be here.

No one, not even gay people, would deny that heterosexual sex is necessary for the propagation of our species as well as many other species besides. But that does not mean that sex can have only one function. Many scientists believe that sex (both homosexual and heterosexual) serves to strengthen alliances and social ties. That is one possible reason that homosexual sex and heterosexual sex are both found not only in our own species, but in many other species as well, being used both for reproduction and for the strengthening of social bonds.
 
While I’m not trying to sound like a Biblical scholar or know-it-all, it irks me how blind so many Christians and Catholics are to the historical context of the stories from the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and Christian Scriptures (New Testament) which are typically used to condemn gay people and the fact of being gay.
Below are the some facts about the Biblical time periods, in which the “Clobber Passages” were written. These texts are typically interpreted as saying: “The Bible clearly states that being gay is a sin.” Take note, as you might learn something new about Biblical ambiguities in the Scripture.

Genesis 2: 19-25 Adam and Eve
In the beginning, God made Adam and EVE, not Adam and Steve, nor Eve and Jane. Anti-gay Christian and catholic ministers have used this as a crux to propagate the myth that homosexuality is “unnatural.”
While the Bible in Genesis tells us that God made male and female, does this really mean that all males and all females need to end up with opposite sex partners?
When talking about “what’s natural,” in the beginning, the first humans did not wear prescription glasses to see, use wheelchairs to get around, or attach prosthetic limbs to enhance mobility. Are all of those aspects of humanity “unnatural”?
Many translations say that God makes Adam a suitable helper/companion. While Adam already had all the animals of the world under his dominion, God saw that Adam was alone and he needed a suitable helper, who just so happened to be first lady Eve.
Relating this to our own lives, so many of us are surrounded by many helpers and companions, but, only a few, maybe one, are truly suitable to aid and comfort a person throughout his or her life. People who are gay or lesbian maybe surrounded by heterosexual mates who are perfectly adequate helpers, but the suitable helper and companion that God has made for them is not a person of the opposite sex. Plus, if gay people are not meant to be with their suitable helper/companions, are they meant to be alone, without a helper? I believe God would say no, according to Genesis 2:18.
 
Your post is completely inappropriate in it’s language…someone needs to remove the above response…

Who believes both that there is such a thing as a sin and also that he is the one with the authority to decide what qualifies? This is a subjective scale, from what I gather?

its an insult to my Christian religion that people are so ignorant in this topic.
 
Jesus quotes Genesis 2:24 and defines marriage as being between male and female.
 
Jude 1:7 says that Sodom was set as an example for its sexual immorality.

they were also the only humans alive at the time so they could exactly marry anyone else besides each other. please remember that that passage was written in the third person and in present time so it couldn’t elaborate on different sexualities
 
where is your historical background on the situation and evidence my good man?
 
History isn’t the only way and some of your points are mostly speculation with a bit of historical background.

It’s the way of things. You also decide what you believe is and is not a sin. Unless you’re not human?

Aren’t you the one challenging an understanding that has existed for 2000 years, formed by people who actually knew people who knew Christ and had access to materials and books that we no longer have, and defended and expounded upon by some of the most brilliant theologians and philosophers to have ever lived, with an interpretation that has only started surging due to the popularity of the LGBT movement?

Has anyone been convinced one way or the other after hundreds of posts? What was the OP’s question again?
And just skimming through the last few posts, nothing new has been brought to light. It’s just the same points addressed in other threads and other places over and over and over and over and over again. The same misunderstanding of Covenant/Covenantal theology and eisegetic arguments that have been addressed but ignored.
