wow amazing what i can miss in 24 hrs.
alright folks, here it goes. i encourage you all to read this in its entirety. i have a lot to say...to all of you.
lets start with the founders of our constitution..
Citing 27 biblical violations, they wrote the constitution, including liberty and justice for all. Patrick henry and thomas jefferson both said that america was founded on God. of the 55 members who signed the constitution, 52 of them were active members of their church. Noah webster, author the of webster's dictionary could literally quote the bible, scripture and verse. all of these men believed that you couldn't even call yourself an american if you subvert the word of God. George washington's farewell addresss stated that you can't have national morality apart from religious principal. if this doesn't explain where our country is coming from, then maybe you should re-read this section.
next topic - "homosexuality is something you are born with"
ans)False - "Gay Gene" reseracher, Dr Dean Hamer,a homosexual himself, was asked by scientific america if homosexuality was derived solely in biology. he replied, "Absolutely no. from twin studies we know half or more of the variability in sexual orientation is not inherited." He then goes on to say that that the most widely held opinion is that multiple factors play a role in determining whether one is ahomosexual. Scientific evidence links homosexuality to social and parental influences - including family patterns, same sex peer problems, childhood molestation, and peer labeling. another source states that homosexuality is not simply genetics, therefore it is subject to modification through counseling and psycohterapy. one, now heterosexual wrote, "A lot of ppl think they are okay eing gay. but i never had a peace of mind until i started to change" so jake and whoever else has read my things, that is where i am getting just a few of my facts from. so to call me a liar and fool for thinking that some of your members' homosexuality comes from getting little to no attention and abuse from family, well at least you know that it is a very supported opinion from both homos and heteros.
as for ppl threating homosexuals and damning them to hell, you all are messed up. name calling, threats, and damnation get us nowhere but further apart. they will certaintly not go to hell just for their sexual orientation. hell is for the unbeliever. i do hope that all of you understand that part. it is not a belief in God alone, but in Jesus Christ. many religions have a god, but they are not the same god. as for the people quoting scripture, be awefully careful to not just take it for face value. many of you probably just looked up homosexuality in the back of your bible, and i commend you for doing it though. it is good that you turn to God over this subject, or any other for that matter. but read before that one verse, and read after it. think about it more.
as for people who masturbate go to hell, i don't know where you found that one at. i don't recal any of the scriptures condeming that to hell, im not saying it is a good practice, just i don't know the scripture for that one.
alright this is all for now. i don't think i said everything, so i will add another post later.
yours truly
