homosexuality
Post #11Hi! About the question of whether a person should voice their opinion based on someone elses choice, well, it depends. it depends on what 'he' is, for example, if this person is from a church and he is preaching, he is suppose to 'spread the word of god', so to speak. if i'm not mistaken, the word of god goes against homosexuality. mabe that girl wanted to listen to god and be 'good' in his eyes.
also, if for example someone wants to kill someone else and they tell me, i would want to stop them and to do that i have to voice my opinion on the killing of someone. if that person chose to kill and in my eyes it is wrong, i will try to stop them. it is then that person choice to whether to listen to me or not to. at the end of the day, they have to make their own choice. i can't force anybody to listen to me because they have their own views and beliefs that adhere to. i can't change those views unless they want listen to what i say and if they want to change and will themselves to change.
i hope this helps, if not send a reply!
bye bye!

So, it's wrong for some guy to talk about his opinion of right and wrong because of the choices someone else made?[/quote]
Well, no because that person has the right to voice his opinion on any issues. He is allowed to 'educate' or better yet 'guide' someone with his own views, if that person want him to do it. However, that person who asked for the guidance should go to that person and listen and then, shift through the information that was given and decided on what she wants to take in or what not to. It is her choice to listen to that person or not to. If she wants to listen to that person then it should be on her own free will.
I hope that helps!

yes it is her choice and she made it in line with god's word.Why are you trying to shoot the messenger?
He was preaching the word of God. If she believes it, why are you attacking this man's right to preach.Clearly, you should discuss this further with your ex-girl friend.
Also, why are you still bi?You should be walking in faith with god and he will give you the strength to come out of this sexual sin
May god be with you and Bless you through this troubled time

You do do you and how do you know that?in who eyes is it not a sin? in your eyes or in the eyes of god because i know that it is infact a sin to be bisexual!
If you say the bible then how do you know that that is right and that is what you mean?
It seems that sexuality is a continuum like a bell curve. Our sexuality is all over that curve but more pronounced in some areas.

Yes, I'd like to see it as well!kiwimac wrote:C2u,
Care to show me the verse?

Both homosexuality and bisexuality have a functional role in society. They create built-in foster parents for orphaned or unwanted offspring. And both are widely seen in all levels of the animal kingdom.
Same-gender relations were prohibited in the Bible for reasons that make sense if you take their culture into context. It was a patriarchal tribal society with a high infant mortality rate. People had swarms of children (and multiple wives) in order to increase the odds that some of their children would survive to adulthood, thereby creating a workforce to handle the family, as well as ensure an heir.
Obviously same-gender relations make procreation impossible (in that time at least). In a society where population was so desperately needed, it it easy to see why a tribal leader might prohibit any behavior that was contrary to this goal. Hygiene, too, was a factor -- in a land with little access to sanitation, infection could easily spread due to the nature of certain homosexual behaviors. (This was also the reason behind many of the dietary laws.)
Fortunately, we are no longer Biblical-era tribal nomads, we do have access to soap and water, and we now know that human sexuality is a much more complex issue than "either you're straight or you're deranged".
