Hi again Jeanie. First I must thank you for your open mindedness when discussing these things with me and not resorting to childish temper tantrums and derogatory remarks. Thank you! That isn't to imply that I think you would do these things but a summary glance at numerous other threads should be a clear indication as to why I might expect it from another poster.
Hi Pwcca, I simply expressed the Christian belief biblically from Christ Himself.....this does not come from self deciding "bias".
I made it clear that for a follow of Christ, it's not about what I feel like doing/believing, but being faithful to my God and His commands. This also includes my own personal behaviours (sexual and otherwise) as well. It does not just speak about homosexuality as I said, but ALL deviations from the original intention of the sexual act. For one that believes in God, it is not up for question. For those that don't? Well they may decide their own "moral code".
If I did not believe in Christ and my beliefs in origins were different, I would honestly have no issue with it. Why would I? For me, Christ and the bible have given sexuality far more dignity and more point than what the TV shows etc have cheapened it to. How much it actually does mean and certainly the responsibility we have to express it wisely.
It really does depend on what somebody believes that all these things come from. If there is no "ultimate" accountability, then why should we not then have our own moral code? We can decide what we feel is right or wrong. And that may even go for every other sexual act you can imagine.
But because I am a believer in Christ, and a believer in creation, then for me, I am fully aware where these things ultimately come from and who is the one to decide how our "sexuality" is best expressed. I cannot help it if other people object or find this irritating/frustrating. What kind of Christian would I be if I decided this was "ok" when God Himself has condemned it, and it is a great offense to Him (abomination). As is fornication (living together before marriage), adultery etc. Why people focus on homosexuality, I really do not know. It's ALL deviations from the natural sex act and any sex outside of marriage.
Should I have to apologise? Sorry folks, but if you have a problem with this? Then you have a problem with Christ and ought to take it up with Him. This is biblical, this is not just "my opinion".
