First of all, The Bible says many things about homosexuality and how sinful it is. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? It is a decent depiction of what God thinks of the homosexual lifestyle. Adam and Eve? I believe that God created a man and a woman for obvious reasons. The Bible says that Adam was looking for a suitable partner, and among the rest of creation, none could be found. Therefore, God made Eve (a woman), to be the perfect counterpart and companion of Adam (a man). And second of all the pursuit of wealth is wrong. I'll give you that. But if God blesses you by ways of wealth, such as King Solomon, you can have that wealth and use it, as long as God is and always stays the only master you serve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29179803.post-2466589414555585272007-02-08T09:49:00.000-05:002007-02-08T09:49:00.000-05:00Yes, I do have anger toward anti-homosexual Christ...Yes, I do have anger toward anti-homosexual Christians, just like I have anger toward anti-black KKK members. Bigotry is bigotry no matter what gown it wears. Of course not all Christians are caught up in the pursuit of wealth. But you're missing my point. I don't lust and hunger after money and material possessions either. But I certainly go to work every day so I can pay bills, have a nice house, cars to drive, nice clothes to wear, and have spending money for eating out, seeing a movie, etc., etc. According to Jesus's teachings of living the life of an ascetic, unless we give up ALL pursuits of wealth, whether modest or not, we are serving money! That's my belief, anyway. As for having sex with animals or dead people, that's an entirely different ball of wax because neither an animal or a dead person can be a consenting adult.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535260741343975445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29179803.post-26146084799695458292007-02-08T09:25:00.000-05:002007-02-08T09:25:00.000-05:00There is as much 'anger' in your rant against anti...There is as much 'anger' in your rant against anti-homosexual Christians as there is from anti-homosexual Christians. And you can't blanket all Christians together in your financial hypocrisy argument either. There are actually quite a lot of current Christian leaders that are railing against irresponsibility with money and out of control credit card debt. There are even a few Christians, myself included that have no credit card debt. I understand what you are trying to say and there are some good points, but by your definition, people should be able to have sex with animals and dead people without feeling shameful or wrong. I'm not buying it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29179803.post-82053075357676777172007-02-07T14:52:00.000-05:002007-02-07T14:52:00.000-05:00Thanks, Anonymous.
