Again and again, the bible is quoted. You would make a stronger
point if you would present your views in a logical manner instead,
as not everyone believes in the bible. No one argues with
logic.
I can respect faith, but it is difficult for those who do not share
your faith to understand your viewpoint. It is like showing a book
written in Chinese to an Englishman. Therefore, I shall not comment
on that.
like i said, ignoring them, merely just accepting them isn't the
complete answer. in every one of us, there is a conscience given by
God, we already know what is right and wrong, but we still choose
to do wrong, due to our sinful nature of course, but use that
conscience to think, if your child is gay, would u feel happy about
it? ignore your child? or show your child, whom you love, what is
wrong? this is how God sees them. as well as us, since we are all
sinners.
Not all of us see ourselves as sinners, I'm afraid. If my child
is gay, I can accept and respect his views. If my child decides to
be a Christian, I shall not judge and say that he or she is right
or wrong. I would encourage my child to explore and actually think
about himself or herself, and his or her beliefs, rather than
telling him or her what to believe in. Realizing the truth by
yourself is the only way you will completely believe in something -
not by someone telling you.
and in a way, i agree, acceptence is important. but it cannot be
confused and lead them to believe they are alright.
what is sin? sin is simply anything that falls short from God's
perfectness. from a small lie, to rape and murder, is sin. even
anger, hatred and unforgiveness is murder.
If sin is defined by God, it cannot be fully understood, or
accepted by those who do not believe in God. Therefore, it is hard
me to accept the argument that homosexuality is wrong, because it
is a sin.
I'm glad you feel that acceptance is important. I'm not saying
homosexuality is right, and the only way to go. However, I'm not
saying that homosexuality is wrong either. It is merely a different
point of view, just like Christianity is.
