Gay "Christians" are not true followers of God

I am happy to debate this with my opponent, but I will remind him, that when he asks for correct s&g, that he utilizes it himself. I myself am religious, and I believe that little reliable evidence exists for why homosexuals can't follow god. Besides the two quotes that my opponent has provided, and one more he didn't, nothing really proves his resolution. The lord never said homosexuals can't go to heaven, or either did Jesus. My opponents arguments will likely heavily rely on the old testament, which was written by priests, scholars, and politicians. Not the lord directly. First I want to start out with the defiotion of the Bible: The sacred writening of what tells us how to live our lives as a follower of God and how to enter the Kingdom of God.You give me a definition that does not match your own. You define the bible as the "sacred writings of what tells us how to live our lives as a follower of god and how to enter the kingdom of god". I have several problems with your definition, so I will go by the definition from Merriam Webster definition.... Bi·ble G2;bībəl/ noun 1. the Christian scriptures, consisting of the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. synonyms: (Holy) Scriptures, Holy Writ, Good Book, Book of Books "he read the Bible" Now a much more helpful definition, since my opponent had not defined one, would be the context of what classifies a "true follower..... fol·low·er G2;fäl!3;-ər/ noun 1. an adherent or devotee of a particular person, cause, or activity. "a freethinker and follower of Voltaire" synonyms: acolyte, assistant, attendant, companion; More 2. a person who moves or travels behind someone or something. Now that we have successfully developed a guide for future definitions, I will begin my arguments.In order to successfully render my opponents resolution false, I must provide examples where a homosexual might doubt that the Lord hates homosexuals, so he has justification to follow the lord. I don't think its 100% neccesary to argue if its right or wrong, but whether a homosexual can realistically follow Christ.Argument 1: Paul said so in Romans and CorinthiansWhile this seems like a decent argument, we must anaylze who Paul was to gain understanding. Paul, was once known by the name of Saul. He was a notable Jew among the religious community, who often used his influence to persecute Christians following the death of Christ. One day, while on the road to Damascus, he recieved a revelation from Christ. He was blinded for three days, before he finnaly gave himself to Jesus. [1] Paul lived his whole life raised in a heavily conservative community of Judaism. Often among conservative communities at the time, homosexuals were severely frowned on and persecuted. Paul from birth was taught to hate Jews, before his conversion to Christendom. Is it unreasonable to assume that these writings were influenced from his own views, rather then the ones of god? Jesus never said a single thing about hating homosexuals, so where did St. Paul get this information? From himself obviously.Argument Two: Levictus is not to keen on HomosexualityI find this argument incredibly weak. The bible is, according to the definition, a collection of books on god. Do you know who wrote the book of levictus? Not God, Moses, David, or any other prophet. It was written by Jewish priests. Not one priest, many[2]. To say that these priests were speaking directly from god is silly. While many argue that the book was written by Mose's, its generally agreed among scholars that this book had been edited for hundreds of years, way after Mose's death. By the very fact that the book of leviticus has so much corruption, then a homosexual has justifiable reason to ignore its teaching.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Point 1: The argument that a homosexual can not enter heaven is contradictory Now, if I had not yet proven that the quotes my opponent has provided are unreliable, then I will proceed to prove my point. Another popular saying said many times by people like peter, is that the only requirment to enter the kingdom of heaven, is to believe that Jesus died for our sins[3]. By that nature, we can assume that as long as a homosexual believes that Jesus died for our sins, then they can enter the kingdom of heaven.The apostles had been wrong before. For example, didn't Peter originally believe that only people of Jewish ethnic blood could enter heaven? Which is where he was told the information that all you have to do was believe in Jesus. Paul never spoke or learned from Jesus. He was still heavily influenced by Jewish conservatism. Peter realized better, and heeded to gods actual words. And the words that come from the lord himself have more merit then the ones of Paul. [1] http://christianity.about.com...[2] http://christianity.about.com...[3] http://www.openbible.info...
