We are all free to interpret our Faith, of course.
I have a gay cousin and a gay niece, both raised in loving Christian homes. The struggle they have faced has been a trial for them and their families.
I can't believe that God would make them "wrong". One when so far as to marry and have a child to prove she was "normal."
The gays I have known and still know over the years who are accepting of their fate are much better off.
I think homosexuality may indeed be a birth defect. I am epileptic and my eldest son is as well as was my great-grandfather. I didn't choose it, but I have learned to live around it. Including not telling many friends and co-workers. Living with a secret makes for a furtive life.
Your gif is cut, BTW
I agree with you Smart A. It's in the Bible that man not lay with man and woman not...., etc.
God gave us 'freewill' and we do not have to tolerate those who use it in imoral ways.
We should always remember that the words, "You are intolerant," are only *half* a sentence.
The other half is, "...of something **I** think should be tolerated."
That's all. "You are intolerant of something *I* think should be tolerated."
And yet, when you leave off the second half of the sentence, "You are intolerant," becomes an accusation of moral turpitude, like "You are dishonest," or "You are a child-molester."
Thing is, it's not really that kind of accusation. It merely notes a difference of opinion on what should and should not be tolerated.
Same-sex attraction disorder is a mental problem like any other. Sufferers should be pitied, and charity requires that we encourage them to seek help. It is a curable disorder, after all.
Wrong thinkers can insist that right reason requires us to regard it as healthy and good, but they can make no case for that position. The evidence is all against them. And even if it weren't, God's word is against them.
Intolerant? Yeah, of things God calls abominations. If somebody has a problem with that, well, then I think we can truncate that sentence too: they have a problem.
I have a Liberal friend that sympathizes with the gays, but he is not gay. We go round and round on this all the time. He says that he prefers the gays to be out in the open with their gayness (out of the closet, everyone knows). I tell him I would prefer NOT to know - stay in the closet. What they do in their own homes is their business, I suppose. But when they come out and try to IMPOSE the lifestyle on society is when I get bent out of shape. It's the "IN YOUR FACE" Gay Activism that I oppose vehemently. These "Gay Parades", insisting on the granting of Gay Marriage on society, and all that BS. Yeah, I guess I'm "intolerant", too.I am opposed to Gay Marriage. If they want the same rights as being married, they can do that. It is called a "power of attorney". And it's cheap enough. Marriage is between ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN !
