[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] Jeff Raven: The author of the [URL=http://members.aol.com/gunnyding/christ.htm]CHRISTIANITY AND [i]HOMOSEXUALITY[/i][/URL] web site has a different take on whether the Sodomites' request to "know" Lot's visitors meant carnal knowledge. The specific page of the site is here: [list=1] [URL=http://members.aol.com/gunnyding/christ2.htm]http://members.aol.com/gunnyding/christ2.htm[/URL] [/list] Their logic is coherent and the Biblical references cited make sense the way they are interpreted. On an emotional level, I still [i]feel[/i] that homosexual behavior might be "wrong", but this could just be residual resistance to altering a long-held view. I can find no logical way to refute the arguments at that site, and must therefore conclude that they are probably right. I'll probably be doing some more research on this topic. Thus far, the only arguments I have found against homosexuality being compatible with Christianity appeal to hatred and distrust. If I find anything logical from either point-of-view, I shall post it here and see what the rest of you think. One last thing: Just like you, I have noticed that some people use the "gay is evil" argument to promote violence and hateful acts against gays. That is plainly wrong. It is no different than the use of the Bible to lable all Jews "Christ killers" or using evolution to "prove" that blacks (or some other minority) are inferior and deserve to be subjugated. Just a word of wisdom (okay, [i]another[/i] last thing [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG]) to those (mostly Christians) who will argue that homosexuality is wrong: be very careful of how you state your case. Say what you mean without making it sound like homosexuals ought to be rounded up and eliminated. Carefully read your statements before you post. If you [i]are[/i] right, remember that God has created each and every one of these people and has commanded you to love them, even if you believe they are practicing a sin. Keep in mind that there are other sins of which you yourself are guilty. Get the lumber out of your own eyes before you start looking for specks in other people's eyes. --Baloo [Sorry if the wording of those last two paragraphs are awkward. It's late, I'm tired, and I'm adding that because I hate it when people point and shout "SINNER!" without realizing that they are sinners, too, so why all the shouting?] [/QB][/QUOTE]
