I had a similar debate in a different forum about gays, and there will always going to be 2 opposing opinions.
I don’t hate homosexuals, but I can’t indorse or agree with their life style I feel they cut against what is Gods design. Creating health issues, going against the natural biological human functions. I know some people have chemical imbalances, deformities, caused by various environmental influences and I know that not everything in life is black and white, so for people with these issues there are ways of helping them through medical means, and I’d leave all the judging on what is what to God. But for people who choose this life style, well… that’s their own doing.
In life we all have choices to make, and can make them anytime we want, but should always keep in mind that we have no control of the consequences that come from them. (Good or bad).
As for marriage I believe it should be kept between woman and man only and I know that even a traditional marriage is not always successful and unfortunately there is a high rate of divorce. I know from small claims court shows on TV and the endless assembly line of people and divorce problems… Sigh. Whatever happened to commitment? A family that has good set of values and love for one another is able to work things out (thick and thin).I know my grandparents, parents and other relations have found this kind of love. As for gays it seems they are confused on the meaning of love. Love comes in many, many different forms, Love for country, God, parents, siblings, friends, pet, etc, etc, and it’s not all about sex as some people get confused with; as some are driven blindly by there own lusts and not thinking clearly on the consequences of there choices which manifest into a bees nest of more problems. Which in this case, gay or not we all make mistakes….
As for the bible, (this topic seems to sway this direction.) amazingly enough that it can be intrepid in very different ways, for many people; as history has told us that in times of old where “Christian crusaders“, that held up the word of God for false agendas and how do you think there are so many different variations of Christian beliefs, Churches/ Denominations named in various kinds all having there own variations of the understanding of the Bible (like the battle between the Catholics and the Protestants that has been going on for Centuries). But out of all this sometimes the most important things get put off to the side. (I’m not in anyway saying that all churches are bad) The Key is Jesus the deliverer of us all, while some people bicker and fight over the religious details and traditions, its the shed blood of Christ that counts the most of all taking our sin debt to the cross. A gift for anyone to receive by faith for forgiveness, he’s just a prayer away. Christ never contradicts his own teachings as some have done.
For knowing what bible to go by, I personally recommend the King James Version (as it is an older English translation, which I think older means more accurate closer to when original languages of the times were read and spoken.
