Is it characteristically unchristian of me to reveal my love of the Darwin awards? whistling.gif

I've never criticized natural selection's ability to remove things from the gene pool... or Jimmy from his pool... on top of a Sea-doo.

Natural selection couldn't, however, help him defy gravity and make it over the second story of the house.

Did you know that vinyl siding can peel off of one whole side of the house like a band aid?

And, of course, after all is said and done, God holy & settled Word of Truth remains unfettered & unmoved: God never made two men to procreate. Homosexuality is essentially generational death, positively deleterious.

Three Cheers for Exodus International!

Since you brought it up viole, I'm not sure how you don't recognize that you've entirely defeated your own point here.

If homosexuality were simply a genetic condition, within one single generation it would be selected out.

I don't think I entirely defeated my point. I admit that my knowledge of biology is very flaky, but I seem to remember (must have been 3rd or 4rth grade) the teacher telling us that some biological characteristics are present in the population but become active only on a subset of the population, therefore can be transmitted by members of the population that do not present the phenotipical effect.

But we do not need knowledge of biology really; basic reason is sufficient. If duplication-preventing biological traits would disappear immediately, then we should not observe sterile people either. Unless we believe that sterility is not biologically driven and is, therefore, either a personal choice, a sin or is induced by an external non natural agent :)

There are many non-genetic biological reasons for sterility, and I see no reason why those traits would be passed on if not genetic. On that note you would also expect the population to become more fertile over time, as those with infertility and sub fertility would be represented less and less. But our fertility is declining.

Errors endorsed by the audience? Tut tut rolleyes.gif

Viole - I wonder what you think about this? There is currently a hearing in my state to hear proposals for and against recognising gay civil unions.

One argument being made AGAINST recognising such unions is that in Germany, where same sex civil unions are offered, only half of one percent of gay couples take up this option.

Why fight so hard for something gay people aren't really begging for?

'Reprogramming' actually has a large success rate. There are peer reviewed papers showing it also does no harm.

What is "large"? And I doubt it. I look at pedophile recidivism, and I think the rule of thumb is those people cannot be cured.

I think it's dangerous to the point of insulting to wholesale equate homosexuality with pedophilia.

Pedophilia is a violent act of power and hatred against children. Consensual homosexuality simply is not the same ballpark.

What are the number of practicing homosexuals who are going to turn to Christ in any case. Very few. So society can either deal with non-monogamous practicing homosexuals or with some monogamy practicing homosexuals and some non-monogamous practicing homosexuals.. society is going to do better by having more monogamous practicing homosexuals than by the miniscule number of practicing homosexuals who are going to turn to God and become celibates..

I've been suprised how heterosexuals project homosexual myths on them, even maintain those misconceptions even if a homosexual in the room is insisting 'Uh no, that's not right'.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea how long I've been waiting for someone to agree with me here. Some Christians seem to love paining homosexuals as pedophiles, or on par with pedophiles, and embellish the homosexual lifestyle with all kinds of things to paint them blacker than sin. Seems to be one of the only sins this happens for noidea.gif

I speak of that which I am of understanding- LUST is the powered aspect on anything outside of God ordained- being: vowed commitment to one woman and fully able to accept an equality of value outside of them self toward the other (period)

Those with lust follow a controlled aspect toward the psychopathic disorder. This releases all bonds of objective exterior influence

and settles completely upon the inward objective of whatever... Outward influences are only processed for the consumption to the

inward dictate! It is why all sin is controlling and leads to inward and self centered input only... this is death for God is outside of sin!

No one can tell the man who sits, with delight, in the darkened corner, eating the internal organs of another, that what they are doing

is wrong! The slightest deviation from God's design stands as an example that it is ok... thus the subtlety of leading away from the

truth! I am of the opinion that those closes to the truth or correct activity yet not engaging in that correct behavior are the most

repulsive- for they draw many away from the actual path toward obedience in God!

Rom 6:16-18

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

KJV

That is why the advice of Paul

1 Cor 7:28

28 But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare you.

NKJV

It simply cannot be fully accomplished in the flesh! That is why we are to walk in the Spirit as He 'IS'. It is also why He will utterly

destroy that which is not redeemed (corporeal), and the eternal hell for that which exists forever opposed to His Son- which 'IS' His Way, His Truth, His Life. Which brings us to the deepest of all understanding:

to come to God to escape torment will not change the heart... to come to God because He has revealed Himself to you as HE 'IS' - pure, undefiled, Holy, Righteous, Perfect > THE ONLY ONE < Whom has these true aspects lasting throughout all eternities!

It is to this One whom we come to be delivered from all that we have been born in and are-> The name given to us 'IS JESUS' The Person is unfathomable but the journey of trying is Life Eternal In Him...

Love, Steven

Of course you have the right to express your convictions freely and that is what democracy is for. Like Voltaire said, I don't agree with you, but I would give my life fighting for your right to express your views. But you might consider whether you are not creating unnecessary suffering for people who, in other civilized countries, have more rights.

Ciao

- viole

IMO, the rights of many will be harmed by denying the same rights to the few.

There is nothing that destroys ideals more than hypocrisy.

My ideal is not 'equality'. My ideal is people living their lives in a manner pleasing to the Lord. If that means passing laws (or not) and it gets a few people's noses out of joint, so be it.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
