I really don't find the word "homesexual" in my Bible anywhere that you have verses listed. Subject to interpretations I suspect.

May you sir, having NOT sinned, cast the first stone.

Bible quotes,

Lev 18:22-23 "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."

Lev 20:13 "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death."

1 Cor 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals"

1 Tim 1:9-10 "realizing the fact that (civil) law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers"

Rom 1:26-27 "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."

If the homosexual community chooses to practice homosexuality in privacy, that is there free choice. But let such persons know for certain that the Christian Bible condemns all such practices and God will judge them unfit for the kingdom of heaven if the continue to practice and openly promote homosexual sex.

They do not ask if you are homo, bi, straight, Jew, or collector of baseball cards when you join Armed services. That's your private life. Just do the job on duty...

You don't date or meet sexual friends on duty. Be they male or female.

You vote as you please. I know I will. Look forward to all those new Republicans. Don't you ???

What about the constitution? I thought right-wing nuts were all about the constitution. .. Not. You can't discriminate in the US based on sexual orientation. Inhofe and McCain have certainly laid open their feeble-mindedness for all to see. We need fresh, sharp leaders, not old worn-out hacks, walking antiques. They would shine in a cult of stupidity.

i was raised strict Baptist, and any deviation sexually from the norm was "wrong". It turns out that my beloved son eventually was gay. We discussed it and prayed about it. I accept him because he is my son, and he was more devoted to me than my daughters. No I do not accept homosexuality, and those who are "flaming' do not depict those I know. When my son died at the age of 44, his gay friends were so supportive and helpful. They were there for me in all aspects of the grieving process from cleaning out his apartment and house to keeping in touch over the years. They were respectful of his possessions, and respected me because they knew how much he loved me. I accept them as my sons and love them as individuals. I believe when judgment day comes, they will have to answer God for themselves. My son never served in the military but I have talked to folks who have served with gays. They do bleed red and they love their country. They have the same training as straights. They are as dependable as any service person and if they want to serve, they deserve our respect for defending our freedom. They deal with their experiences and wounds every day as well as the others who have served. What one does in the bedroom is of no concern when they are fighting our enemies, please folks, put aside your condemnations and be proud they serve you.

What a total crock!!

My older brother, as well as his partner, (...of which both, I, most assuredly, have not associated with for years) continually came up with "fantasy stories" such as yours. They are renouned liars ...seems to come with the "Gay territory".

Go away, weird one!
