God does not Consider Homosexuality a Sin

"Here, God tells the first man and woman to be fruitful and multiply. Does this mean God intends for everyone to pair up with reproductive partners? No. At the time God gave this direction, the population size was... two! This direction is best understood when we consider that there are only two people on the planet." On the contrary, God does expect us to reproduce should we pair up. Pay attention to the following verses: Gen. 1:11-12 "11 Then God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth; and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good." v. 20-22 "20 Then God said, Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens. 21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth. v. 24-25 "24 Then God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good." v. 28 " 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them (male and female), "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." If your not in a relationship that has reproductive purposes, your straying from the design God has for living creatures. The book of Ruth is about two women making vows, but no where do we find kissing or any physical intimacy as we would in lesbian relationships. The Greek word is pais, but in the Septuagint, it's exclusively used for servant (1). "Furthermore, a designed function does not restrict us from using something in a way unrelated to that function. Ex: God created trees to produce oxygen, but we may use trees for their lumber." That's because he commanded us to "rule over the earth." With human beings, it doesn't work that way. "Why would this lack of discrimination discontinue after people have entered into faith? People continue in their faith, therefore it seems reasonable that God"s lack of discrimination would continue." We are called to faith, but we are also called to works in Jesus Christ to change. Conclusion: Because Thoughts has brought up many good points on the topic, i declare her the winner. Maybe we can have a rematch sometime, but for the time being, she made me reflect on a bit about the nature of homosexuality. Sources: 1. http://isitinthebible.com...
