Its blasphemy for a gay to say he Is Christian

First of all God hates gay act.
He destroy two cities filled with gays. Its just so disgusting to him.
Its filth to the "HOLY SPIRIT".
And calling yourself christian means christ follower.
First he came to do the will of God(who hates Gay).
Therefore if you follow christ you follow God. If you know  Christ you know God.
Christ was a teacher of Morality.

And also 
“Jesus answered, ‘Have you not read that the One who made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh”.

While Christianity does divert MASSIVELY from the teachings of the bible I think its safe to say that the Christian faith does still deem it blasphemous. Its important to note though that homosexuality in the time of the new testament was more akin to pedophilia as men would take young boys as "Servants", that's the closer meaning of the word when the NT was written. So from a historical critical perspective the bible may not be as homophobic as the church.

Listen Monty, or is it Munty. The fact that you can even support this notion compromises your very nature of ideals. What sort of misogynistic, racist man do you have to be in order to support this. I feel, although not personally gay, that its our duty to stand up for those who are bounded to inferiority and discrimination due to their relationship status. For a while racism was seen as the "status Quo", now we reflect upon it as a time of great sorrow. This will be the same for homosexuality. The sooner we free these men and women from the shackles of oppression, the better.

What you are sayng is the same things pedophiles are saying about their attraction to children. They realize they can not act on their attrctions, but like Homosexuals say they are born that way and therefore makes their attraction ok and natural.

Please don't insult the intellegence of others to compare skin color with abnormal sexual orientations. There is nothng abnormal about a person's skin color.

Slavery and racism were an evil against people merely because of their skin color. No one is supporting treating Gays as inferior or in such terrible ways.

These LGBT activists are trying to force their extreme agendas on all Americans. They even want to force every public school to allow boys in our daughter's bathrooms. They have become radical as with most Liberal causes.

Side: True

Blasphemy? No. But if they are openly engaging in homosexual activity then it is of course an act of vice and antithetical to most Christian theology.

Side: True

I meant blasphemy in more of a mockery kinda way.

When the bible clearly states its opinion of gay, and you proudly call yourself gay and yet say you are christian, that is mockery of christianity and Blasphemy before the God who burnt down two cities full of gay for being gay sake.

The whole essence of the catholic church stems from its roots; a money laundering monopoly. Since the beginning, the poor peasants were tricked into a blind faith which was not understood by them. The catholic church held back decades of intelligence by confining Copernicus to a dungeon and Galileo to his house.

And now, with incidences such as the mass abuse of thousands of children across Boston more recently than we like to believe, the catholic church condemns homosexuality. To in fact have the audacity to condemn love between the same gender, when the history of Christianity is stained with death, discrimination and injustice.

For me, in order to preach Mathew's saying "love thy neighbor" yet condemn the love between two people of the same gender is hypocrisy at its finest.

Alright Jeff mate, clearly you are some die hard Christian who disputes against empiricle science and well... logic, reason and generally everything that makes sense in this universe. Clearly you are blinded by the "glorious" light of "God" that you can't see past the truth, he Catholic Church was a money making scheme for the peasants of 1300 England. From this, I say they can jolly well bugger off when they condem homosexuality. Absolute hypocrites, and don't disregard the fact that thousands of Christian priests have been imprisoned due to the abuse of young children, specifically boys. The height of hypocrisy.

Is it blasphemous for a liar, adulterer, murderer, or thief to claim to be a Christian? Given that a part of Christianity is recognizing one's failings, I'd say that possessing said failings does not exclude one from practicing it.

If I was gay I wouldn't feel too bad about some people saying I couldn't be a Christian. I'm an Atheist and I don't feel bad about it. Christianity is based on a book that was written (pieced together), thousands of years after the ... er..."fact", with whatever could be scrounged up AS "fact". Nobody really knows bumpkus about what a Christian is. It's the "opinion" of a self appointed majority in particular religions that designate, what THEY say, is a Christian.

Okay. I'm a shameful, blasphemous, devil posing as a human being with my tail on fire ... but if I thought I was a Christian, I'd BE one, whether YOU liked it or NOT! (Just like Hitler thought HE was!) But I'm a much nicer guy ... really. I just don't agree with any particular religion! Da devil made me do it! ;-)

1) The day you find your arguments aligned with the Westboro Baptist Church is the day you need to do some soul searching and rethink your life.

2) Christ was an unmarried man roaming the countryside with a pack of men and theories about Christ himself being gay have been around a long time.

3) If gay is a sin but all sins can be absolved by Christ then it makes no sense that a murderer can still say he is Christian but a gay cannot.

4) Isn't blasphemy taking the lord's name in vain? You don't blaspheme just by committing any sin on the sin list.

5) Many people are named "Christian" and it's not a fault of a gay if his parents named him that.

1. That church took the word from the bible. I have a bible.

2.Have heard where in the bible women are not allowed to speak in the church?, A weak minded woman being decieved by the serpent(how can she lead a church), I haven't yet seen the bible mention female angel, Do you know Adam was created as the main deal of the plan untill he felt bored being alone and eve created as a helper(not the real deal)....etc.

Set~ Man

Sub(missive)~Wo

Subset~Woman

Outta of a set~ outta Man

Its the hard truth.

Jesus only stayed true to the plan from day one.

Gods relations has been with:

Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ismael, Joseph,Moses, Joshua, Samuel,Saul,David, Solomon, Jesus: his disciples all male. Is God gay to too? This actually shows the ways of God(father) and Jesus(son) are the same cos they share a common plan. Same God today, tomorrow and forever more. He won't change his mind no matter how you debate it.

You can't question God cos He is God.

He sits up in the heavens and does what he pleases.

3. I never said gay is unforgivable. All sins are forgivable. Am talking about a gay who is not ready to repent. I think its more of mockery.

You can't keep punching me in face and keep saying sorry when you enjoy doing it and will do it again after saying sorry.

4. So as i said blasphemy more like a mockery kind of way. If you really want to know how much gay disgusts God, refer to the bible.

5. People are always denouncing christianity. I think its better to denounce than stay and make a gay mockery of God.

So you're a misogynist and a homophobe? Lovely. I think Grenache may have been onto something by comparing you to Westboro.

The Bible says those things about women because it is a thousands of years old book written in a time where women were treated like property. Women's authority and place in the world was undermined prior to the Bible being written; the book is simply regurgitating those misogynistic values.

If God created us, then it transpires that He created gays.

Why would God create gay people if he hates them? You can't bring up the "freewill" argument here, because homosexuality is not a choice - so pray tell, why do gay people exist if they are blasphemous?

Sodom and Gomorrah, the basic story. God sent two angels to find at least 10 good people. Lot met with them and took them in his home. At night men of Sodom came to Lot's house and said "Where are the men which came in to thee this night? Bring them out unto us, that we may know them."

I think everyone agrees that these men were talking about rape and their desire to cruelly and maliciously rape these men. Now if you take a step back and look at the history, the history shows that gang rape was a common form of brutal humiliation, something that both sociologist and historians agree on. These men weren't coming to the angels to show love, they were there to show force, to brutally humiliate and aggressively show dominance to the "foreigners" in their town.

The final recap of Sodom and Gomorrah is, I believe Ezekial 16:49.

""'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy."

Not that men had tried to rape angels, though that is plenty bad enough, but that God despised the greed and wickedness of the people in the cities and their unwillingness to help outsiders.

There is a HUGE difference between two men coming together in love and unity and men threatening to rape someone else.

Because you are doesn't mean it should be accepted. I mean who are you? A god? You have the same sinful blood as everyone else. You get yourself in a stupid addictive mess and you justify it and still say you are christian, are you the new jesus? Should we follow you as an example? A true christian will look for spiritual satisfaction not multiple fleshy satisfactions. I won't be shocked to know you are even a paedophile or even sleep with animals (Don't say ewww cos thats how much your bisexualness disgusts me).

All these sexual things are all of fleshy demands. Do you know there is not such thing in heaven? Paul says in: 1 Corinthians 7New International Version (NIV)

Concerning Married Life

7 Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” 2 But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband.

Paul was even saying we should not have sexual relations but to prevent sexual immorality, we should marry(a woman.). And you crossed the boundry to the bisexual land and yet call yourself christian? Follower of which christ? Yourself christ?

Wow such a nice christian fellowship. Where self justification will set you free from all your sins and you shall forever burn in paradise.

There are 4 passages within the Bible that condemns homosexuals. One is Genesis and one in Leviticus. Now the Old Testament is "Yawehism"- a dead religion and not Christian so I will ignore these passages. The New Testament still includes 2 however. But do these really condemn homosexuals?

Romans (1:26- 27): This passage is first of all not uttered by Jesus, our first red flag. Paul's views are relics of Yawehism and are sometimes different from the son of God himself. Furthermore, Romans is a letter to, surprisingly enough, the Romans. The context is in fact that of RITUALISTIC homosexual acts. The sin Paul is condemning is actually IDOLATRY and not homosexuality. This passage is used by Jesus's critics often, but it is taken well out of context.

Corinthians (6:9): This passage has been recently shown to have been edited. Earlier manuscripts of this passage show that "prostitution" is the condemned sin rather than "homosexuality". In Greek these words are similar and the mistake seems excusable, however it is a very big mistake none the less.

This is of course ignoring the hotly debated quote from the lord himself (Matthews 19:11-12) which states that 3 categories of "Eunuchs" are not subject to the law that Jesus outlines before this chapter, that lovemaking is for a man and a woman. He says those who are "born eunuch" are unable to follow this law and that is absolutely acceptable. Now that is interesting because nobody is born a eunuch. This phrase is actually a slang term among Jews, found in the Talmud also, as a term for GAY MEN. Personally I believe the reason that lesbians are not mentioned is because lesbians are technically unable to have sex.

Who are you or in what authority do you stand to declare the old testament dead? Its because of the old testament jesus came. It is the root of jesus. It the cause of jesus's coming. His coming was prophesied in the old testament. Are you saying everything about David, Solomon, Samuel, Elijah, Mosee, Abraham is irrelevant? Are you serious?Is that your best excuse for defending gay? The religion is dead..is the God of Abraham too dead? Do you not know its because of Him christ came? If there wasn't an old testaments of several convenants with God there would have never been a christ.

And when christ came he went back to them to save their souls.

1 Peter 4:6 ►

Parallel Verses

New International Version

For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.

If they were dead and didn't matter, then why would jesus go back to preach to them?

But, more often than not, "God's love" is the kind most people would prefer to not partake in. Like those "GOD LOVING" parishioners in Carolina receiving the "love" in "God's House", those innocent "creations" in Sandy Hook that never got the chance to "sin". If that's a form of Gods love, maybe his hate would allow us to live longer in his "creation". :-(

Why does a "book" that is supposed to express a "god's love", express so much hate? The Quran also. This only confirms the statement "Belief in a cruel god makes a cruel man." Also: "Religion causes us to hate others that we wouldn't normally hate."

I simply can't get into religion due to its hate and cruelty. "Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully than when they do it for religious convictions." If "God" created all of us, he created gays. YOU were not there to hear the words said (allegedly) against gays. You believe the words were said .... that's the definition of "hearsay"! The words were not a "signed Executive Order". NOBODY alive actually heard them "from the horses mouth" ... they likely came from an entity more closely resembling the other end.

Jesus ran around with 12 guys who worshiped him and talked about loving everyone. It seems being gay may be downright fundamentalist. Of course he did string along a prostitute to keep up appearances, so being out of the closet may be problematic.

But if you want to follow the example of Christ then closet homosexual is the way to be. And that seems every bit as relevant today, wouldn't you agree everyone who pretends outrage?

You Christians need to read your bible ( I know it back to front )

Bet you don't know what part of the bible the it is in 🙀

" When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman behold your son!' Then he said to the disciple. 'Behold your mother!' And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home."

That disciple was John whom Jesus, the gospels affirm, loved in a special way. All the other disciples had fled in fear. Three women but only one man had the courage to go with Jesus to his execution. That man clearly had a unique place in the affection of Jesus. In all classic depictions of the Last Supper, a favourite subject of Christian art, John is next to Jesus, very often his head resting on Jesus's breast. Dying, Jesus asks John to look after his mother and asks his mother to accept John as her son. John takes Mary home. John becomes unmistakably part of Jesus's family.
