Gay is Right in Christianity

I am glad that we can share a hobby. I just came back from school and an activity, so sorry about the wait... I wanted to start with rebuttals, but decided against it. Instead, I want to start by restating a fact that I stated above and adding reference to other facts that I have stated: God loves sinners, not sin. The use of Leviticus as a reference was randomly picked. (I should put more consideration into my examples next time.) Quoting from the book of Leviticus and the book itself is not ridiculous. In fact, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." Is one bit neglected or outdated? No, all scripture is God breathed. What is "unnatural" and what is "natural"? With no specific reference to this topic, let us consider the denotation of "natural" and apply what we know in the bible about this: existing in nature and not made or caused by people : coming from nature. (Stated by Merriam-Webster) We know that God created the world with no sin inside of it. This antecedent condition was "natural". It was the temptation of the serpent that brought sin into the world. Therefore sin is "unnatural". Theorem: Sin is "unnatural" axiom: sin is disobeying God. God not going into the specifics about whether or not to wear glasses is different from him saying being gay is right or wrong. The bible did talk about homosexuality, but not glasses. There is a difference. I have heard some argue that the bible does not go into descriptions about what homosexuality is. But, the bible certainly mentioned it and let us not forget, all scripture is God breathed. Rules in the Bible were and still are tied to reasoning. This explains the other laws stated in Leviticus. If the entire passage of Genesis 38 was read, then it would be seen that Er was the firstborn of Judah. Er was "wicked in the sight of the Lord" and therefore was condemned. Judah was in lost of a first born's off-spring. This would make worshiping God hard and fulfillment of his promise impossible. So God, through Judah, told Onan to give Er's wife children. When Onan refused to give Ers wife children, he wasn't committing sin against Er's wife, He was directly disobeying God. Therefore, Onan's case was not proof that semen alone was considered unclean. It was that disobeying God is a sin, which is in consistency with the above stated axiom. The fact that the semen was spilled is an understatement. Is only what Jesus said directly while still on Earth holy and valid? Is not all scripture God breathed? Certainly, Paul's writings were moved by the Holy Spirit. Certainly, Timothy, John and other believers and apostles were also moved by the Holy Spirit. Again, it should be restated that we can love sinners but hate sin. Sinners are the victim of sin. Therefore, Jesus' love does not abolish all law, Jesus' love does not make sins valid. Jesus' Love is not an excuse to sin or a proof that an action is not a sin. The most controversial topic was saved for until now. (Believe it or not, homosexuality is not the most controversial topic I have debated before in my lifetime.) I will start by listing bible verses I will use in order to more easily reference them. Please do not rebuttal my choice of verses until all verses and the synthesis of what these verses conclude have been read. Matthew 5:17-20 17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. Romans 3:23 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, John 8: 3-11 (These verses put together is very long, opening it in the bible is recommended. The passage of most interest is below.) 0 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" 11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more." Romans 6:23 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 Peter 2:21 21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: Jesus said that he did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill them. He goes on that subsiding any of the law will result in restriction from heaven. In fact, deciding whether or not we can keep the WHOLE law is futile. God already told us we already failed. How depressing. But, Jesus' love for us, the one mentioned before, made him feel pity for us. He saw that he could keep the law but we couldn't. He felt love for his creation even though they rebel against him and scorn at him. So, he came and excepted God's negligence and the humiliation of death. Let a moment of silence be made to consider the magnitude of Jesus' actions. We all failed. I failed miserably, cheating on tests, lying about everything from not shoplifting to not brushing my teeth one morning. But, Jesus suffered for us so we can live. That also means that because of our love and gratitude towards Jesus, we will want to be more like him, to follow the law more. The point is that God told us to obey all the law, all of it. In fact, the law is the description of perfection. So, linen and wool, unclean meat, etc. are all valid laws. Symbolically or Literally, a perfect person would follow all of it. Considering this and that the rebuttals mentioned before, it is wrong commit homosexuality. The verses John 8:3-11 show that we shouldn't judge other sinners. We should love them. But, at the same time in our hearts, we should acknowledge that doing so is wrong. Notice that the topic is Homosexuality Is Right. The "-ITY" refers to the sin, not the people. On a side note, sex out of marriage is just lust. Pro and Con can both agree that all laws have a physical use, but also a symbolic meaning. Sure, sex is a way to produce offspring, but it really it is the physical symbol of a spiritual union. At least that is what the Bible says. Physical symbols without a spiritual meaning is pointless then. Therefore, sex without a spiritual union is just a lust.
