One of the most despicable websites I have ever come across
So I have come across one of the most pathetic piece of garbage websites I have ever seen. The crazy thing if you look at the title you wouldn't believe it. The website is called: http://www.christiananswers.net
I was just browsing to see what the "authority" on the bible tells people when they need answers. As I was browsing I became pretty disturbed with the bigotry they produced on the question of homosexuality.
Here is the exact link: http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-f019.html
I will quote certain sections of this garbage to produce a proper citation to the "Authors". This will also show that I have not altered any of this.
For the Bible-believing Christian, there can be no doubt that homosexuality is a grievous sinin the sight of God. The awful catalogue in the first chapter of Romans of the sins practiced by the ancient pagan world began with this sin:
For this cause God gave them up unto vileaffections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another: men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
—Romans 1:26,27 (KJV)
The term “sodomy,” named after the inhabitants of Sodom whose homosexual perversions caused God to rain fire and brimstone on theircity in the days of Abraham (Genesis 19:4,5,12,24), has for thousands of years been synonymous with this unique form of ungodliness. That it is basically a sin of rebellion against God is evident from the above passage in Romans.
So basically what they are saying is god hates homosexuals so much that he destroyed an entire city because of it? Seems a bit harsh don't you think? Especially from the same people that tell you that god loves everybody. Don't worry there's more....
The “cause” for which God “gave them up to uncleanness through the lustsof their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves” was that they had decided to “worship and serve creation more than the Creator” (Romans 1:24-25 - KJV).
Because such behavior is essentially animalistic, rather than human, sodomites are actually called “dogs” in the Bible. Note the strong prohibition in the Old Testament theocracy established under Moses.
There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination unto the Lord thy God.
—Deuteronomy 23:17,18 (KJV)
We can be sure that, if these practices were abominations to God then, He has not changed His opinion about them today.
So according to the bible and this website, god hated fags then and god hates fags now. How very lovely of him. I like that is also reinforces that a woman is a whore if she sleeps around but it says nothing about a man doing it. Is it just me or do women constantly get shafted (no pun intended) when it comes to this whole religion thing? Oh look its still bashing homosexuals...
The same terminology appears in the description of the holy city in the last chapter of the Bible.
Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, andwhoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Notice the Bible refers to homosexuals as dogs. Take a good look at the other kinds of people they classify them with. Seems a bit extreme don't you think?
—Revelation 22:14-15 (KJV)
Now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such an one no not to eat… Therefore, put away from yourselves that wicked person.
—I Corinthians 5:11, 13 (KJV)
Now the bible is saying don't even associate with a gay person or many others for that matter. So much for Christians having any friends. For as many times as I hear only god can judge you, the Bible sure says otherwise...
Thus, sodomites—like sorcerers, whoremongers (same word as “fornicators”), murderers, idolaters and lovers of lies—should undoubtedly also be excluded from church fellowship. I,f such a person, professing to be a Christian, persists in his sin, he should be put out of the church, like the one who had committed fornication with his stepmother (I Corinthians 5:1).
If you are a true Christian get the terrible people out! The are obviously as bad as murderers! Give me a break...
Homosexuality, like all other types of fornication, has no place in the family of God. Regardless of what modern promoters of “gay liberation” might wish to believe, sexual perversions are not inherited genetically but rather are learned behaviors and willful sins. Like alcoholism and other such sins of the flesh, they may become very difficult to give up for those who have been enslaved by them, but God is able to give deliverance to any who sincerely desire true freedom and salvation.
Wow.... How very ignorant. The AMA had officially declared alcoholism as an "illness" since 1956. I love how these arrogant assholes have not only declared themselves the authority of morality but now they are also liscenced physicians as well. It is amazing how this basically says that god can magically treat alcoholism better than the good folks at AA can. My father was a severe alcoholic and he had much faith in god. God obviously was not strong enough to help him as much as Alcoholics Anonymous did. As someone who has had their family torn apart from this, I find myself very offend by this bullshit claim.
It is also utterly irrational to say that homosexuals have a choice in who they are attracted to. I don't think gay people who truly desire freedom and salvation need to go through god. They definitely seem more to have more salvation and freedom when they can be themselves and not worry about persecution of their beliefs and lifestyles.
To “straight” Christians in the church, however, the familiar old admonition to “hate the sin, but love the sinner” surely applies in such cases. Homosexuals, long accustomed to being looked upon with disgust by most people, are understandably anxious for acceptance by society. Nevertheless, they must not be encouraged to continue in their wickedness, for it may well cost them their eternal souls. Instead, they need to be “loved into the kingdom,” being delivered first of all from their rebellion against God, then to Christ for salvation and cleansing.
Hate the sin, but love the sinner? Are you people insane? Earlier in this garbage, they quoted a Bible passage of god destroying a entire city because of homosexuality and now you are supposed to love them? Quite hypocritical if you ask me. You are supposed to love them as people but not tolerate who they are? How is this possible if you are supposed to cast them out of church because of it? Why in the world would people say the Bible is where to get your morals from when it is so full of hate?
Notice Paul's testimony concerning the very real possibility of such deliverance:
Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, noradulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, …shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye aresanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
—I Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV)
When there is true repentance and the sin is forsaken, then such a person should be lovingly received into the fellowship of believers(or back into that fellowship, if previously excommunicated), like any other repentant and believing sinner. This is the example given in the case of the incestuous Corinthian:
Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Wherefore I beseech you that you would confirm your love toward him.
Anybody find it kind of ironic that with all of this no homosexuality talk there is a an absurd amount of man on god love going on?
—II Corinthians 2:6-8
(KJV)In spite of great pressure today from humanists and other liberals to get homosexuality recognized as an acceptable—if not even preferable—life style, the Bible makes it plain that it is really unnatural and animalistic wickedness that must be rejected by true Christians.
Apparently no matter how hard we try to treat homosexuals equally in today's society, the Bible still wants us to remember they are wicked animal heathens that must be persecuted by Christians. So much for that is gets better campaign. Lady Gaga is gonna be sooooo pisssed.
At the same time, we cannot forget that Christ died for their sins, as well as ours. They are still objects of His sacrificial love, and we should seek earnestly to bring them to Him for cleansing and deliverance.
I guess sacrificing your only son is fine but taking it in the butt is not. I don't know about you but I find this all to be absurd unintelligent bigotry. There are many Christians out there that will say that they do not believe this and god loves homosexuals too. To that I say you are just as ignorant as the people that persecute gays because you base your beliefs on the vile book as well.
I myself am not a homosexual. I do however respect that they have the right to live in a style that fits them and makes them feel happy. What they do is in no way even close to the same level as theft, rape, murder, lying, drinking and the other things the Bible declares is wrong.
