The Bible does not exclude homosexuals as acceptable people.

"THIS IS SOMEWHAT OF A PERSONAL DEBATE, WHICH IS NOT... AGAINST ANY RULES." I'm not suggesting that you have to be dispassionate about it. What I was saying was that you need to stay within the pretext of the debate. "homosexuality is natural and God-created and God would not force us to be something and then condemn it as he does not. It is ibviously a fancy way to say that it looks up to a mainstream source and the majority accepts it. Yes. Science is that authority" You have not given ANY evidentiary reasons why God is accepting of homosexuality, be it through scripture or special revelation, nor have you (not that it is relevant to this particular debate) given any reasons why it is scientifically proven to be a natural predilection. Furthermore, if we are going by the Bible, which we are, then how can you honestly say that the Bible doesn't unambiguously state that it is immoral when it so obviously does? That is the premise of the debate, and I have successfully refuted your claim to the contrary. "THE FACT THAT IT IS APPEAL TO AUTHORITY AND FROM CONSENSUS IS ACCURATE AND IRRELEVANT." I appreciate that you concede that you are using logical fallacies, but pointing them out is not irrelevant. Any debate class would inform you of the same. "Paul is writing this letter to Rome after his missionary tour of the Mediterranean. On his journey Paul had seen great temples built to honor Aphrodite, Diana, and other fertility gods and goddesses of sex" Show me in Romans where Paul is referencing Ephesian goddesses in order to substantiate the reverends claim. It sounds like an ad hoc excuse. But just for shits and giggles, lets say that he was referencing pagan rituals. Even supposing he was it doesn't negate the fact that Paul here is saying that homosexual acts are immoral. Read it again: "Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion." But lets go further and look at yet another verse. "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." - 1st Corinthians 6:9-11 Point blank. Is there anything really left for me to say showing that you are incorrect? "PLEASE STOP TWISTING MY WORDS IN AN UNFAIR EFFORT TO WIN THIS DEBATE" What am I saying that is inaccurate to what you've categorically stated? Allow me to quote you, verbatim, and then tell me how I am misrepresenting you. "THIS VERSE SEEMS TO BE CLEAR: PAUL SEES WOMEN HAVING SEX WITH WOMEN AND MEN HAVING SEX WITH MEN, AND HE CONDEMNS THAT PRACTICE." Where's the ambiguity in that? Its pretty cut and dry. "GOD DID NOT ABANDON THESE PRIESTS BECAUSE THEY WERE HOMOSEXUALS BUT BECAUSE THEY ABUSIVE AND DOING OTHER RITUALS." God does not abandon anyone, so its irrelevant. Scripture is adamant that God does not consign people to hell, rather, they consign themselves. As evidenced by the scripture below: "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." - 1st Corinthians 6:9-11 There is always forgiveness according to scripture. "STOP IMPOSING THAT GAYS ARE EVIL BECAUSE SOME SIX SCRIPTURES OUT OF MILLIONS VAGUELY MENTION HOMOSEXUALITY. STOP USING RELIGION TO SPREAD HATE." Again, I have not shared my personal beliefs on the matter. I'm simply debating the premise of the debate. I'm not spreading anything, I'm just correcting you. Secondly, even if six scriptures point to how homosexuality is wrong out of a million (straw man) the fact still remains that the Bible does NOT condone homosexuality as you claimed it did. All I have to do is provide one verse to completely nullify your whole argument. I have unequivocally done that. There is really nothing left to say at this point other than, thank you for the debate. I look forward to seeing you in the future.
