[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Homophobia” literally means “fear of homosexuality/homosexuals”.

I don’t know a single person who [i]fears[/i] them, or their lifestyle.

But the Bible is quite clear that it is a Sin. All peoples are deserving of love and are able to receive the mercy of God if they seek it. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t sinners.

Homosexuals are sinners. But I don’t know anyone who fears them. [/quote]
See the Bible doesn’t say anywhere that being homosexual and loving another adult of the sane sex is a sin. [/quote]

[b]Lust is a sin, regardless of the sex of the subject of the attraction.[/b] Sex between men, between women,  or between people and animals, are all explicitly defined as sin in the Book of Leviticus.

This really isn’t subject to argument or interpretation.

You can choose to agree or not, but the text itself is perfectly unambiguous. [/quote]

So then just as "sinful" as sex between men and women.

Outside of marriage, yes. Different by degree perhaps, but both are sin.

Did you think I would argue about that? Wow. You really don’t understand me then. [/quote]

Lust is lust. Even for a heterosexual married couple. [/quote]

God created hetero marriage for the husband and wife to be lustful and have sex. [/quote]

God didn’t create marriage.

He wanted everyone to be celibate and to serve them. But realized most human he weak and if you must give in to lust then do it within the confines of marriage.[/quote]

You’re insane.
