So true. It is easy to come to the forums and claim faith in Jesus by being against homosexuality, but few will display their faith by killing the homosexual as the Old Testament requires.

Yes, I believe.
But God send His Son Jesus Christ more than 2000 years ago to die on the cross for everyone, it is not for me or you to punish or judge people, but to try and lead them to God, and the will of God, for God says is in His word, Judgement is not for you, Leave judgement to me, because with the same way/method/manner you judge, you will be judged!
God is a God of love, He hates sin, not the sinner!!
Why couldn't we have had religions where we can frolic with naked women and drink beer every Sunday...?
And the rest of the time we could just... say... not kill people, just for a change, and bring happiness to people's lives instead.
Would that upset you? Would you be uncomfortable living like a rational person, instead of reading that dreary old book of bad fairytales all the time?
If God is a god of love he should be incapable of hate in the first place.
So, assuming he exists ( uncertain at best ), he's gonna take one look at you and get pretty annoyed, but luckily for you... he can't hate you.

Homosexuality is undoubtedly a crime against nature. The evidence is in the Bible: "thou shall not lie down with a man as thou does with a woman." There fore I believe it is a sin, as it is clearly outlined as one.

Sexuality is a complex subject. But simpletons like things to be simple, and they love their hate.

Sorry, never heard of that one. Where is it, exactly?

Originally posted by AcemasterEven if he was, I think the argument is totally flawed. Kissing is not the equivalent of a homosexual act -- if I've got my social-history correct, it was a form of greeting amongst friends irrespective of their sexual preference. This is still practiced in various cultures around the world.
He wasn't kissing Judas! Judas betrayed Jesus by kissing him! The man he kissed was the one the Romans were to take away!
