Nyxie, I am asking you to find credentials from a Bible study guide, or a reputable biblical scholar. I have indeed read many study guides on this particular t ...[text shortened]... t David would be a part of Saul's family by 'marrying' Jonathan. That is simply unheard of.

Ok Nyxie, you're claiming something which there is no history of, not in a Biblical sense, or any other culture that may have influenced the Israeite way of life. Gay marriages have only in 2000, in certain parts of the world been introduced. You are claiming that a culture, militantly adhering to Mosaic law, (atleast around the time of David), would accept a homosexual King ? Indeed, this would not be the first time for this to happen, for obviously Saul must have considered it entirely possible ! He tried with his daughter, now throw his son at David ? So gay marriage was around during the time of David...
You are reading into the text something which makes no sense, yet you choose to use this misread translation as evidence to prove that you've translated correctly ?
Please find some alternate passage to support your existing theory. There are 101 examples of Heterosexual marriage in the Scriptures, not a single example of a gay marriage. I'm afraid you're wrong on this count.

Because I have a search for truth you condemn me?
Is there anyone you'd like to use as an example for a Christian so that I may see them as a model? Pick anyone, besides yourself and Jesus that all of us would know.

King David would never break with Mosaic Law?? He shnogged Bathsheba, knowing full well she was married. I believe that's what's called adultery. If he'd commit one sexual sin, he is capable of committing another. Gotta admit that if a guy says "Your love was better than the love of women", everyone would assume they were buggering each other silly.
Originally posted by NyxieAre homosexuals tolerant of God when they ignore His commands? He made them, He has a right to impose rules. And it's not asking too much to avoid the extermination of the human race.
Saying someone is eternally damned because of the way they are is not a tolerant attitude.

Originally posted by DarfiusHang on here, Darfius. One of the "rules" is free will. I would like to hear well-meaaning Christians like yourself have a little perspective about this. When you say the extermination of the human race I assume you are talking about AIDS. Where, among the Christian community, is the outrage that lung cancer from cigarette smoking is killing people at a much much higher rate than AIDS, at least in this country. I never hear about the morality of this.

Originally posted by kirksey957By extermination I meant homosexual sex. Can't have babies with homosexual sex. Tell me, if Adam were "gay" would it have been OK for him to shun Eve? How about Noah?

Originally posted by DarfiusNoah had sex with Eve? This is new to me. OK, kidding aside, you and I look at this a little differently. The reality is the human race has survived. It has managed quite well with homosexuals throughout history. If anything, we need to be glad for their contributions to many aspects of our culture ranging from literature to music and , dare I say, childhood education. Let's be glad that they're not overpopulating the earth. There is a big difference between our views of their roles in society.

Originally posted by DarfiusMaybe they burned all the science books at that "college" you're going to, but they are ways to have children now that don't involve sex between two people of opposite genders. Gay and lesbian couples ARE having children; so since they're not out to "exterminate" the human race can we dump the Old Testament mumbo jumbo condemning them?
