@drewnogal saidMs Toruun apparently thinks that there can be no fruitful discussion if peoples minds are made up. Clearly she is here to convince people she is right, and change their minds, otherwise it is not fruitful. That is not the right attitude to have in a discussion. You can think otherwise if you like. Thats your choice.
Toruun has an impeccable forum attitude.
As for you? Throwing the word Lesbian around like it is a dirty word?
Explain yourself!
Homosexuality is a sin. No explanation needed. If your society has reached the point where people are blind to what is a sin, then thats your failing.

@rajk999 saidI speak from a woman's point of view only, you speak with views based on God and religion - that would be a pointless discussion. Or have I misunderstood? I may have misinterpreted an earlier message, or maybe it wasn't even you? In that case, I apologize,

@torunn saidSo from a womans point of view, or from yours, there is no fruitful discussion unless you are able to change someone's mind? That makes no sense to me at all. I am certainly not here to convince anyone to change their mind. Dont know why some people are.

No apology is necessary. Discussions and expressing viewpoints and opinions require no apology.
Yes I am religious. I believe in God and I am a Christian. I dont apologize for that. If the bible says somethng is a sin, then I will repeat it (if asked) without apologizing. Im not a men-pleaser.

@rajk999 saidI don't expect to change anybody's mind but if we speak about men and women I mean we do that without religious references - it's about people and people's behavior.

Yes I am religious ...[text shortened]... f the bible says somethng is a sin, then I will repeat it without apologizing. Im not a men-pleaser.
@torunn saidWhen you made this comment, ... 🙂 The confusion, if I may say so, is because we have already made up our minds so there is no fruitful discussion. Men believe one thing, we believe another. It is pointless really.

there was no religious references by me or anyone else ffor that matter. So you appear to be confusing this with another issue.
@rajk999 said"I may have misinterpreted an earlier message..." So it seems.

@rajk999 saidPretty much everything is a sin, if we are using the Bible as a guide, including grumbling (James 5:9) and praying while wearing a hat. (1 Corinthians 11:4-16).

@ghost-of-a-duke saidOk, I meant to say using Jesus as a guide, we cant go wrong.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidFornication and Adultery was condemned, therefore the only sex permitted was between married man and woman. Gay sex is a sin.
The problem is, you stated 'homosexuality is a sin.'
Jesus made no comment on that.
