    No, for I am a straight man, and see myself as not white/straight/married/husband/father, which I am, but as a Christian! who happens to be all those other things!

    Your poll and OP question are miles apart. The OP answer is no. 1Cor. 6
    Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality

    To your op question the answer is no also. However I know many people who claim to be saved and call themselves non practicing alcoholics which is also wrong. The correct termonology should be we used to be such and such.

    10 A person who follows all of God’s law but fails to obey even one command is guilty of breaking all the commands in that law. 11 The same God who said, “You must not be guilty of adultery,” also said, “You must not murder anyone.”So if you do not take part in adultery but you murder someone, you are guilty of breaking all of God’s law. 12 In everything you say and do, remember that you will be judged by the law that makes people free. 13 So you must show mercy to others, or God will not show mercy to you when he judges you. But the person who shows mercy can stand without fear at the judgment. James 2:10-13

    Now if we could just get all you wonderful folks to line up for the same punishment for which you are EQUALLY due for your own sin, we'd be firing on all cylinders.:thumbs:

    Your invitation to the government into your bedroom is as shocking as it is ridiculous nonsense.

    I thought this was a conservative board where government intrusion into every aspect of our lives was strongly resisted, guess not. You get to go first when they start going around and checking!

    It's conservative as long as you are in agreement with the majorities stance on their pet sins.

    As the last election cycle showed, people are willing to "look the other way" on some things when they believe doing so will serve THEIR wants. Now if a strong libertarian or conservative rises up and picks up steam, and starts talking about individual liberty again, then the'll get onboard. :laugh:

    My sin areas/besitting sins though were NOT addressed as deserving of physical death when commited, as Paul does describe such in Roamsn concerning unrepentant Homesexual behaviour!

    Again, that is the ONLY sinful behaviour that many Christians, and churches, have called God a liar, and misinterpreted His views in His Word!

    Pure silliness. Your sin is just as much due a death sentence as is the sin of the homosexual offense. What part of "you break one, you've broken them all" are you not getting?:laugh:

    Perhaps one of the reasons God stuck that lil tidbit in there is because HE didn't want folks to get to walking around with their chests poking out and their noses up in the air as though their sin didn't stink just like the next fella's sin.

    I didn't ask you what individuals and churches said. According to Scripture we're all guilty of breaking ALL the commands of the law. So if we're looking for death for the homosexual offense, we might as well be willing to man up and jump in line for the same punishment for our equally vile breaking of ALL the commands of the law.

    Or does ALL not mean ALL anymore?

    I figured you Out!

    ....you don't exist. You are a figment of our imagination! You are some kind of computer program, stuck on the same message, spewing out the same old gobbely gook, time-after-time!

    How can any one take you serious, when we already know that your have this boilerplate, rubber-stamp response! :laugh:

    Oh, are you a LGBT sympathize; or a card carrying member of the LGBT and Rainbow Community Group? :wavey:

    ALL have sinned, ALL fallen short of the glory of God, ALL deserving and are already judged comdemned by God, ONLY hope is in Christ Jesus.

    THAT refers to condition we face concerning state after death, eternal aspect of our lives, but paul saying active and promoting homosexuals deserve death now is same as Bible states for murder here and now!

    You keep mixing up judgement for sins after death, to the judgement on sins done while still here and alive!

    Truth doesn't change.

    I don't care what you take me as. Doesn't change the truth.

    I'll check with Jesus and see how He feels about sympathizing with those whom the religious folks treated as though they were the worst of the worst sinners.

    21st century tax collectors and lepers.

    I'm not mixing up anything. You think your sins aren't worthy of death NOW. You think the homosexual offender sins are due death NOW.

    It's the utmost of hypocrisy. See I'm clear on it.

    I understand the point, but feel it would be unwise. homosexual sin is viewed differently in the U.S. than other sins.

    Behind all this subterfuge is merely an attempt to legitimize sodomy. As this is tantamount to a confession to every sin and blasphemy under the sun on your part, upon what moral ground do you base your indignation against Zimmerman or anyone else you consider (whether true or not) a racist?

    Where is your zealous defense of Zimmerman's, seeing that Trayvon's assault was, if his sister's testimony is to be believed, a gay bashing.

    Why the indignatiom and judgment of anyone here, or any word or action?

    Zaac: the BB paragon of hypocrisy. Admittedly guilty of every sin under the sun, but hating it only when seeing it in others.

    No, NOT saying that gay people should be killed, just saying that the bible does state that both murderers and those active in promting and engaging homesexual behaviour with NO remorse/repentance/forsaking are worthy of being killed... But that they are NOT put to death, but does show us God sees those two acts as being somehow worse than other sins!

    that is the Bible, God speakingm take it up with him!
