Why don't you just say what your opinion of it is and let it go at that?

I've made my opinions about homosexuality known. That's not what this thread is about. After all, we all know what Gerry's opinion is as well. Where would the fun be if everybody here said what their opinion was and let it go?

So if you know what Gerry's opinion is why would you continue to post? I haven't seen your opinion stated (in so many words) in this thread. It really doesn't matter, homosexuality is a fact of life. A small percentage of the population is that way nothing is going to change it, so why don't you leave it alone?

I get the distinct impression if you thought you could get away with it you'd beat the sh*t out of them!

Because it's a web forum. That's what people do.

That's because I haven't stated it. It's not relevant.

You're the one making a big deal about homosexuality. To me the issue is Gerry's funny logic. How come you don't leave it alone?

You'd be wrong as usual.

I have. Feel free to look back through my 9000+ post if you like or you could stop making assumptions, be polite and simply ask me what I think of homosexuality.

You said in post 186 that you haven't. So what do you think of homosexuality?

Post 186 was in response to your post






Perfectly natural. My brother's gay.

Was that difficult?

So what makes "responding to my post" a reason to be untruthful?
So what is with all the crap about pedophilia - total unrelated to the question Gerry asked?
You are a troll!

Just because you think it's unrelated, doesn't mean it's unrelated. Just admit you don't understand, then you can move on.

As I said in a previous post, that's an unjustifiable conclusion from the evidence. The Vatican routinely accepts things as true on the basis of the flimsiest of evidence, or no evidence at all, and rejects things that ARE true and supported by voluminous evidence. It certainly has. LT93 - Early Vatican Responses To Evolutionist Theology
They had politics back then too.

Evolution was pondered in the RCC without condemnation for a long tme.

Ever heard of St. Augustine? He was kicking around back at the time the RCs when just starting out.

http://www.faithinterface.com.au/science-christianity/st-augustine-on-creation-and-evolution

"Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking non-sense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of the faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason?"

St. Augustine, The Literal Meaning of Genesis, translated and annotated by John Hammond Taylor, S.J., 2 vols. (New York: Newman Press, 1982).

He knew not to take it litreally but decided to just keep the story of Genesis as is because he didn't think the peasant people would understand it as a process of time.

Is is quite reasonable to ask - If homosexuality is OK simply because Jesus did not specifically say it is not OK, then are other things OK simply because Jesus did not specifically say they aren't OK?
That isn't what was asked.

Here's the Op for you, again, since you obviously didn't understand it the first time you read it...

I'm having a problem finding citations from the New Testament where Christ condemned homosexuality. Anyone want to help me out?

Somebody interested in reasonable discussion might be interested in answering that question.
Actually, just ignoring your silly posts is showing an interest in actual discussion.

I'm really not surprised you have avoided it.
Pedophilia is condemned by society as a whole on moral grounds as well as on the impact it can have on children. Not because someone said it is condemned in the Bible.

Homosexuality is condemned by certain religious groups on the grounds that it is condemned by the Bible.

I'm not surprised that had to be explained to you.

Such a closed mind.

So Cannuck - No rebuttal? Is it to difficult?

Trolling again

Then tell us the great unwashed the purpose of this thread. Why it was posted.

Most homosexuals were alter boys in the Catholic church and the priests were followers of Jesus which proves that Jesus was a homosexual but the women’s group says Jesus was a lesbian.
