Calling homosexuality a rCLSinrCY is a sin!
ONLY EVIL PEOPLE CALL HOMOSEXUALITY A SIN!
The so-called "Christians" are lying to you, and always have...
IrCOve said this before, but the subject just came up elsewhere online
and I thought it bears repeatingrCa
Blasphemy is a sin. Blasphemy is a *Very* serious sin, according
to Christianity. ItrCOs a rCLMortal sin,rCY and anyone declaring
homosexuality a sin is guilty of blasphemy.
This is real. It doesnrCOt get any more realrCa
ROMANS 1
It all comes down to Romans 1. See, Romans 1 is one of the very
few places in the bible where itrCOs claimed that you can find an
unambiguous reference to homosexuality. And if you do read Romans
1 it does indeed appear to be talking about homosexuality, and not
in a good way at all. But hererCOs the thing: It
absolutely-positively rules out any possibility that homosexuality
can be a sin!
In short, Romans 1 is a condemnation of the sin of idolatry. In
Romans 1, God is angry at idol worshipers and as punishment he
turns them gay. For real. Here, IrCOll quote:
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even
their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another
So these people werenrCOt gay rCo they werenrCOt homosexuals rCo God rCLgave them uprCY because they were idolaters, idol worshipers. That was
their sin, and their punishment for the sin was homosexuality.
This REQUIRES that homosexuality not be a sin.
If homosexuality is a sin then God is the sinner. After all,
God inflicted them with homosexuality as punishment for their
idolatry, so the homosexuality is coming from God. If
homosexuality is a sin then God is a sinner. And that, ladies
and gentlemen, is BLASPHEMY.
Calling God a sinner is BLASPHEMY!
Now I have to grant here that the writer of Romans 1 clearly
does not think highly of homosexuality. Homosexuality,
including lesbianism, is viewed quite negatively. BUT ITrCOS NOT
A SIN! ItrCOs portrayed more as an affliction, a disability
perhaps. But not a sin.
This, by the way, is *Not* the only passage in the bible that
excludes homosexuality from rCLSin,rCY merely the most often used rCo
misquoted and misrepresented.
And, please, donrCOt take my word on any of this. Read Romans 1
for yourself, start at the beginning. What I am telling you is
the rCLGodrCOs honest truthrCY here. Go find out.
