I think you misunderstood me. I was not referring to matt. 5 but to Colossions 4:5-6 which reads, "Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." The post i was replying to did not have these characteristics so i was trying to remind about what was claimed to be known.

I agree more with mr. 17 year old. (but maybe it is because i haven't developed a proper theology yet you thinks, lol.) Although it is true that Jesus did get in people's faces he still did it in love. Jesus did not tolerate sin but he did love his lost children.
"When the pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." (Mt. 9:11-13)
Twenty-thirty years ago people viewed homosexuals similarly as to how Jews viewed samaritans in Jesus' day and women were lower class, yet when Jesus spoke with the samaritan woman at the well he did not condemn her for her sin (adultery seven-fold) he offfered her eternal life. (John 4:14)
A rather popular verse sheds some light on this John 3:17 reads, "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him."

You misread what I said, and the fact that you skipped the meaning behind my words and went directly into defensive mode proves my words to be true now more than ever.
I have no doubts that the Bible renounces sodomy in its forms. In fact I've studied it extensively.
This world has gotten so selfish, and so into obtaining our own personal needs, that we are now willing to attribute the cause of homosexuality to a birth defect so as to deflect the responsibility of choice.
To be so ingrained in sin that you would rather blame the perfect design of our Father, than accept responsibility for your actions is a sad state indeed.
I believe that in regards to homosexuality Christians need the focus of having the sinner reclaim accountability.
To loop this around to the original point of the article, I will say that comparing homosexuals to paedofiles and the like will do nothing but cause homosexuals to do more to separate themselves. But to tell a homosexual that the same control they refuse to place in the hands of our Lord is the same control they have already given to the Devil will cause them to look within.
God gave us the gift of choice, but also the power to know when to use it.

I did read what you said; that's why I responded. As to comparing my statement about a veterinarian who is unwilling to cross-breed species, with a person who is unwilling to participate in promoting homosexuality, they parallel in several ways. They are both forbidden in Scripture. They are both unnatural, and go against how each was created and equipped to reproduce. My background is medical, and I could tell you horror stories about the repercussions of the homosexual lifestyle, but this is not an appropriate place. Perhaps you would just consider thinking of the reproductive system as "clean," and the gastroINTESTINAL system as "unclean." Besides, have you never considered that just any old thing done by "consenting human beings over the age of 18" is NOT fair game and just fine with GOD! How about if they both decide to do a murder-homicide? It involves no one but them, but that doesn't make it right in God's eyes. Bottom line; both the OT and the NT say homosexuality is WRONG in very strong language, and there is no argument that will change that. Argue with God, not me.

Did you all know that eHarmony owns Gayharmony.net? Just scroll down on this website to the bottom where it says Registrant: http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=gayharmony&tld=net

Clearly, you didn't read what I said. To elaborate: eHarmony can't expect to be a public "all"-inclusive dating site and exclude gays without expecting some kind of backlash. They just can't be a "Christian organization" no matter how much they'd like to be now, as their primary purpose is a public business that caters ro people of all faiths, but not sexualities. As for your argument on a veterinarian inseminating a dog with cat semen, it is completely ludicrous. We're talking about discriminating against consenting human beings over the age of 18, not crossbreeding animals.

A Christian or non-Christian man or woman can go use eHarmony to find a potential suitable mate. How simple is that! But a blatant lesbian, who goes against what Bible-believing Christians believe should not go to a eHarmony, thinking they could find for them a suitable (what, husband?)________! You fill in the blank. It is as unreasonable as a veterinarian being sued because he doesn't artificially inseminate a dog and a cat! It's AGAINST THE BIBLE! I think this "woman" went to eHarmony with the intention of doing exactly what she is---finding an excuse to be in the spotlight as she sues a Christian organization.

I'm hopeful because of your young age. But the immorality of the world today makes it urgent that you get into the Bible, preferably with someone who is a sound Christian with a good understanding of it, and find out what it says about homosexuality. In your post you separated lifestyles that are illegal from the lifestyle of homosexuality. That was quite a revelation to the readers out here. It does not matter what the law of a nation or a man says if it goes against the law of God. And homosexuality is most definitely a grave sin in both the New Testament and the Old Testament. The Bible says a Christian is "the Temple of the Holy Spirit." What you're talking about defiles that Temple, and is unnatural; it's against the way God intended the human body to be joined with another. Please be happy that people cared enough to answer you, even with strong words, because it shows they care about you, and they feel strongly about something that you don't realize will cause a person to spend eternity in hell. It would please me if you'd post again after you've been in the Bible and done some reading on this. May God Bless You!---with understanding and faith.

I appreciate your position and agree with you. But I also remember when I was 17. I'm so grateful my spiritual growth and Bible study wasn't complete at that age! You're right in the point you make, though. So many people of all ages only think of Jesus as the redemptive Lamb of God of the First Coming. Very little is preached or taught about the Jesus of the Second Coming, Who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, of Rev. 19, when He comes as Judge, rather than Lamb. God's perfect mercy requires perfect justice, because He is perfect.
