Moostraks,
Is homosexuality a sin?
Moostraks, didn't you ask me to start another thread so that you would answer my question in it? Well, here it is. What is your answer?
"Then David said to the Philistine, 'You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of hosts, the God of the battle lines of Israel, Whom you have reproached.'" - 1 Samuel 17:45
"May future generations look back on our work and say that these were men and women who, in moment of great crisis, stood up to their politicians, the opinion-makers, and the Establishment, and saved their country." - Dr. Ron Paul
Want to know what I think about it?
I think the day you can accurately boil several of her paragraphs and a couple of her extensive quotes of scripture down to seven words will be the day the Democratic Party actually commits itself to liberty, justice, prosperity, peace and sanctity.
I did not. I went to great effort to handle your rude, persistent questioning which was off topic and previously answered a number of times within that thread and prior to that thread. You, however, ignored your previous discussion with me in favor of a response which you think you can boil down to suit your narrative for a strawman to light on fire in this subforum.
Thank you. I sincerely appreciate this response.

Go Forward With Courage
When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still;
be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists
-- as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

It depends. The Pharisees thought Jesus was a real blasphemer and trouble maker. They probably used the Hebrew equivalent of the word you used for Him in private. So, yes it is possible, but it depends on who is making the judgement.
The question I asked is a question that EVERY Christian of every kind can easily answer with the Bible in just a few verses.
So, to restate my question: Acptulsa, can a person be a Christian and a homosexual at the same time?
By the way, this thread could go on for 200 pages and neither Acptulsa or Moostraks will answer the 2 questions I asked them.
There is a reason for this, and I will show everyone in a while what that reason is.

Except I'm not twisted. I think you are an embarassment for those who share your faith title with your disrespectful behavior and shameful arrogance. Your faith shows no evidence of mercy. It is a stain upon those who share the spiritual path of Christian when you are so senselessly mean spirited.
Yes or no, have you stopped beating your wife? No, don't bother explaining. It's an easy question, yes or no.

This question can be answered easily with the Bible. The answer is no. You can give as good as you get, as Jesus Himself did with the robber baron money changers. But refusing to inuckle under to $#@!s does not make one an $#@!.
Much as Pharisees like yourself would like people to believe otherwise.
Jesus never addressed homosexuality directly, or if He did, no one found it important enough to write down. He talked about being an $#@! all the time. You cannot go around treating people as if they have no feelings at all and claim to believe in Jesus. It can't be done.
Well, of course it can be done. But you aren't believed when you do it.
Yes, any sinner can try to reach God through Jesus. You will, no doubt, argue that it depends upon who is making the judgment, and you, no doubt, will not even realize that this is the argument you are making. But that is the answer. Someone who did not sin, if there were such a person, would not require forgiveness.
Besides, there are such things as celibate homosexuals. They want it, but they do not do it. Are you going to argue that these people cannot be Christian, even though they refuse to act on their feelings? Or are you going to say that it matters not who they lust after, they aren't gay until they lay with another of their own sex? Of course, I do realize that this thread could go on for two hundred pages and you will never answer these questions.
And how about--oh, yeah, by your definition no Catholic is a Christian. Never mind.
Now. Why am I not answering the question again? Do tell.
The lady gives as good as she gets.
And you are changing the subject and refusing to answer the questions of others right now. How does applying one set of standards to her and another to yourself make you a better Christian, again? I'm unclear on the concept.
Damn. Condemning whole swaths of the population without even asking their names, much less looking into their circumstances--or their hearts. Fine, Christian hobby you have there.
Moses didn't even bring, 'Thou shalt not commit sodomy' down from the mount on a stone tablet. Tell me this, if you can. Is a sodomizer more reprobate than a murderer?
You have made it a point to rudely ignore previous discussion you engaged in with me, put words in my mouth, and then crow about how I am supposedly twisted up in knots when frankly I just feel sorry for you and those who might be seriously insulted by your behavior. That you think THIS is a personal attack to point out you are being rude to me when it is rather obvious to anyone without the ax to grind, well, that is pretty special. You do realize that it is an antagonistic act against forum guidelines to specifically call someone out in a thread title, right?
That you cannot understand a response unless it is a yes or no is either sad or deceptive, henceforth have you stopped beating your wife illustration.
So have you? Yes or no. Its an easy question.

Your ass is showing. All over New Posts.
Add a poll to this thread, and see if people agree with you that I did not answer your question. I double dog dare you.
Ignore the answer and throw a childish hissy fit because you got no answer next time. And then wonder why you get ignored. In six threads at once.
