Zone1 If Homosexuality Is A Sin, Then Where Does It Come From?

[Zebra]

this could probably be best understood from Augustine of Hippo --> https://qspirit.net/augustine-hippo-queer-saint/

which can help explain how the Roman Catholics split off and became what they are, which is not from this, but instead is from rational reasoning. But this bisexuality is often overlooked as another component.

we did not split off ... the Protestants did

 

[odanny]

Do tell.

When you get caught, will you do the Jimmy Swaggert, or just make sure those who know keep silent?

 

[odanny]

Yeah, but not all gay people are evil.

You don't sound evil to me.

Only if youre a Christian with personality issues. Jews are not born sinners and we wrote Genesis. There is no original sin or fall of man. Its Gods moral teaching of man and trial for mans freedom.
Believing youre born in sin is a self destructive belief. Its also just plain dumb

I dont recall God exempting His people from sin

Jews are far from perfect

You werent invited to the conversation. We are absolved every year. The lie of original sin is your burden.

its before that, its the east-west schism. The romans moved away from divine mysteries, over to rational deduction.

The Catholic Church protected priests form homosexuality with minors

How are you absolved?

 

[Hafar1014]

How are you absolved?

Yom Kippur and for us there is no original sin hell or a devil. You should be a Jew like Jesus was.

I’m not Jewish so I looked it up but found that I was correct

Yom Kippur is “atonement and repentance to God for personal sins”

So Jews are sinners but IF they repent and beg for forgiveness God has mercy on them

But how about libs who do not do that?

They will be judged for their sins

Jews are not sinners we occasionally sin. Youre a sinner. Theres a big difference. You are in a state of sin 100% of the time. Its not a question of right and wrong. You have a belief thats self destructive.
Look at the irony Jesus as a Jews thinks as I do.

He's not smoking anything, just believing a slightly different version of what you do.

 

[Mac-7]

Ok, fair enough

But I think he’s just winging it

 

[Votto]

All men didnt have gay sex in Greece. They didnt have word for it and called all sexuality eros. They just didnt care

Really? Which men did not?

From what I have read it was culturally accepted and practiced by all.

 

[Votto]

Animals dont have lust their reproduction is 100% biological.

Tell that to my dog

 

[odanny]

Ok, fair enough

But I think he’s just winging it

He sounds like he's nuts. He doesn't sin? Does he think he is Jesus?

He can put in a good word for you?

I used to think that people could just choose to be gay, so I was shaking my head about why gay Christians exist. However, I recently had my mind changed and learned that people can be devout Christians and still be gay and just not act upon it so my question is why are people born gay if it's a sin? Where does homosexuality come from if God creates everybody?

God gave freedom of choice for people. No one knows why someone grows up gay. Maybe some wires got crossed at birth. But sin is generally understood as being separate from God (ie., a perception of separate identity, ego) and separation from God is the seed of all sin.

Put another way, some people choose to live outside God; there can be no sin so long as one is fully united with God. Apart from God, there can be nothing else.

I dont believe in the genetic defect excuse

Maybe for 0.00009 % of the people

For most gays its just a bad decision they made or they were groomed by an older person
