Almost everything we do is sin brother.... hence the need for a savior
It's only a sin of that savior made it one right? so what's the point if he's just going to forgive you anyway?

Its pretty clear to me...
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Go beat off and eat whatever doing whatever you want.
That's your choice not sure the point christian?
You try and tell me what I lack but yet know nothing about me....you claim to be a christian but are very accepting of what the world says over what the bible that you obviously don't fully believe in says. Not sure what version of the word or what sect you follow but I perceive new age teachings thrown in the mix.
What's the point of what?
This harkens back to an earlier point in the thread, and it's a little outdated now, but I thought I'd post it.
My kind of feminist:

Couldn't click love more than once but I would if I could lol.
Am I sexist if I say “she looks good in green”?
Yeah, that was one of those moments that I wanted to "like" my own post, lol. She's great. That's Christina Hoff Sommers, for those who don't know. Everything I've seen from her has been on the money. She's great at pushing back against the PC/SJW/feminist crowd. Naturally they try to shut her down, but she keeps plowing ahead.
Just keep in mind she's 67.
I am not against there being a higher power, I have no idea if there is or not but I sure as hell know mainstream religions and their holy books are man made BS. I love the position that so many take "well someone had to create all of this" and then you ask them "ok well who created god?" they give the convenient answer of "we're not meant to know"
Simple answer is he gives us free will,doesnt want robots....he wants us to choose him/life.If our "savior" created us just to test us and watch us fail constantly but is going to save us anyway what's the point of the entire thing? why not just have us pop up in heaven? why create a hell? why condemn those who are created to be flawed to an eternity of suffering because they don't live up to expectations that he doesn't seem to really have? Religious people don't even have their story straight, some say he's all loving, others say he's vengeful etc it seems like he's whatever the person wants him to be to prove their point at the time.

Its much much more specific.Like I said, not much more specific than Leviticus. More words, because you're quoting all the surrounding text, but the level of specificity and explanation isn't any more. I'm clear he's saying being a h*mo is bad, because it's "against nature" (which we've already established isn't true).
Paul was an ultra Jew, a perfectionist in the Jewish law. That's where the belief is coming from. It's not like Jesus has ratified this. It's just the same idea, passed down through Jewish teaching/culture.
It was a joke, Val. I was poking fun at OT prohibitions. Don't get all high and mighty on me. Oops, too late.
I made a distinction between your real personality and what you display on the forum. I'm in a position to judge what you display on the forum, because I've seen it for years. I stand by what I said. You lack love and mercy, which are supposed to be what Christians bring to the world. You come across as dogmatic and rigid in your beliefs, uninterested in people's actual experience, historical context, or what we've learned in the past two thousand years.
Its much much more specific.
We never established its not against nature.
Again man is made in Gods image are you calling God a animal?
Paul wrote most of the new testament and his teachings are the most inline for this dispensation we are currently in.
Believers are supposed to do all kinds of things but don't...all come short.
Romans 7 would be a good read.
My character on gaming forums is just that a character.
I won't,shouldnt and don't need to say the good i do do.
Please do fill me in on what you believe, what you learned as you do claim to be a Christian.
Simple answer is he gives us free will,doesnt want robots....he wants us to choose him/life.
He always was.
Lake of fire wasn't made for man.Makes no sense, seriously. He creates us to be his reality show I guess, I mean c'mon you don't see the flaws here? He creates us and loves us and is forgiving yet he's willing to send us to hell to suffer for eternity if we don't make all the right choices? Choices he personally never told us about but rather has us rely on people's word who made up stories like Noah's Ark? Oh well enough of this talk, I don't believe in man made religion at all and I think it's a huge mistake for anyone to do that as it's giving the people who created this nonsense the power they craved (well the people who carried it on anyway as the creators are dead lol) Nobody knows what happens when we die, anyone who says they do is full of crap. I get why people want to believe in this stuff, thinking of our lives actually being over is scary, thinking of those we love not existing anymore in any form is scary but thinking people who hadn't figured out anything (even toilet paper) are the ones that had all of the answers just seems silly. I'm not against the chances of some sort of higher form existing, nobody knows for sure how we got here and I doubt we'll ever figure it out completely but just saying "it was magic" seems like giving up on even trying to figure it out which would be fine if all of that judgement didn't come along with it.
That cult says all kinds of things...OMG, Pixar (Coco, Inside Out) got it right, sorta....

“There is no hell,” Pope Francis was quoted as saying in an interview published this week with La Repubblica founder Eugenio Scalfari — an atheist friend of the pontiff. “There is the disappearance of sinful souls.”
Francis’s reply answered the kind of question asked by many coming up in the faith: “What about bad souls? Where are they punished?”
In the article titled “It is an honor to be called a revolutionary,” the pope is quoted as saying: “They are not punished, those who repent obtain the forgiveness of God and enter the rank of souls who contemplate him, but those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven disappear.”
In 1999, Pope John Paul II similarly rattled Catholics when he emphasized the eternal punishment was less about geography than separation from God.
“Rather than a place,” the Polish pope said, “Hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy.”
Got to love someone that believes the Bible word for word but calls Catholics are cult.
Do whatever thy like...
Is ok right?
Read first two pages and jumped here, seems only thing different now is jesus.
I think h*** h*** sapiens sapiens should do sex and love as open as non h*** h*** sapiens sapiens, which would include kissing in public as long as no obvious tounge.
and hurting the temple...Clearly there are things we shouldn't do like kill, steal, rape, be cruel to animals, treat the planet like s*** and believe there are no consequences etc.
