@indonesia-phil saidYes, I think it is wrong, just as I think adultery, fornication, and other sexual sins are
Okay, I'll try again (last time I implied the 'f' word, in a descriptive sense) Anyway stop dodging the question, do you think that homosexuality should be against secular law? Do you regard homosexuality as 'doing anything wrong to another'?
And yes, compared to how you view the world, through and only through the prism of your 'scriptures', we live in a world so ...[text shortened]... of the Bible and took a look around. It ain't perfect, very far from it, but everything is relative.
wrong.
@fmf said@divegeester, wouldn't you say that among Indonesian men (who generally oppose homosexuality and favor manliness in all its varieties of expression), an even greater controversy involves whether to wear socks or not?
Given your belief that homosexuality is evil, would you support a law that criminalized homosexual sex?
-Removed-Concerning my favoring a law, that isn't necessary as far as I'm concerned, the
scriptures already say so, and if you reject the scriptural truths found in them, a
man-made law isn't going to alter anyone's heart. Anyone who claims to be a
Christian and refuses to have the scripture guide them for questions by studying
the word for the truth in it, by their neglect and refusal, reveal their attitude
towards God.
Tolerating sin and embracing it are pretty different, we all tolerate corruption on
some level, even God does by His common grace towards us in our day to day
life. Not simply ending us as soon as we do something He hates is a level of
the grace we all are getting right now, while He tries to get us to see the necessity
of repenting and turning towards Him through the grace He has given us in
Jesus Christ.

@kellyjay saidIn that case, would you oppose the passing of laws that discriminate against homosexuals?
