Questioning my thoughts on the Bible's rules.

Mon Sep 26, 2005, 1:35 PM
Very True Story:
A religion teacher assigned her class an essay on what makes a good Christian. One student wrote about praying nightly, say no to abortion, banning gay marriage, and donating money. The other student wrote about talking to God and allowing people to enjoy their lives, and supporting gay marriage.
The day the teacher was to hand the papers back, she called up the second student and told him she would pray for him when he went to hell. The student asked why would he be going to hell, and why he got an F on his paper. The teacher told him that Catholicism is against gay marriage.
The student looked at her for a minute, then said aloud, "I'm gay." The teacher kicked him out of class as if he had said fuck or worshipped Satan. A girl in the back of class who had a boyfriend and was obviously straight got up and left too.

If you would leave the classroom, repost this. It doesn't matter if you're straight, bi, or gay. It doesn't matter if you're Catholic or not. Everyone is a human being and deserves happiness.

I dont know what to say really. I'd leave, because its mean. But...is it against the bible to be ok with gays? Does that mean, like, satanic things are in me?

Anyways, it was interesting, had to post it.
hm...*thinks*

o-o Wow...ehhh, that's crazy. I can't believe someone would say that. People can be such jerks.

I am "my" own person and I go with a lot of what the bible says, and the Lord, but there are some things I don't agree with. And that doesn't matter, cause they're hardly horrible. I think killing a baby is awful, and if I was pregnant I would take care of it no matter what.

As for gays, well, I believe in freedom of choice. I believe that people should be able to choose who they want to love, no matter who that person is. I think that is one unfair thing in the whole Christian or whatever way. Gays don't hurt our world or anyone else. It's not like we don't have enough people on this planet anyway.

^-^ Your so smart. Yeah, basicly, I agree with you. But, I try my hardest to do whatever the Bible says. I mean, it almost says you can do ANYTHING, and be forgiven. But how the poop would you know when God wont forgive you? *Not that I want to do horrible thingys. ^^; It also kinda says that if you dont do nearly EVERYTHING the Bible says, then you'd go to Hell? Doesnt that mean...like everyone is going to Hell? *blink* then it kinda says that we should except everything, not judge, and do what is best for us..but, we should also do whats best for others. If we are to except, say, gays doesnt that mean we can except them but must convert them to straightness because chsistianly speaking, its whats right?

Lots of questions. Hm..to bad I cant actually talk to a priest. ^^; I even ask my EXTREEEMELY religious un-imidiate family these kinds of questions. They know evey christian thing top to bottom and fallow almost ALL of it (which makes me happy there not my imidiate family^^;) and they still can't answer. Hm..maybe thats one of those questions where in a "you have only one and only one question you can ask some all-knowing thingy" situation, you'd ask.

I wouldn't let it bother you. All you need to do is believe in the Lord, our father, and his son and keep them in your heart.

The rest, well, live your own life the way you want to. Don't let those questions bother you so much, but hey, we all ask questions, I guess it wouldn't hurt to find answers. Though the answers you find might just be more lies. -shrug- it's a tough world.

O.O Crap. Seesh. This is very difficult to answer. I don't know what to tell you. As a Christian, I thing being gay/etc is against the Bible for the main facts as this--A: God said the man, go and be fruitful; gays cannot do this. With that and the fact that every mentioning of the gay community in the Bible is negative leads me to believe truly in myself that it is wrong. I love everyone, gay, straight, or whatever. But I do not support a gay relationship. I apologize to anyone who tales offesne to this, as I hate to make them upset and whatnot, but I stand with my belief. As for is the person possessed or demonic--I don't believe it goes that deep. It has often to do with a lot of things, but it is not a n atural thbiung as the media is always trying to make us all believe--it is A CHOICE. Now I love everyone and have had plenty of gay friends, but I have always told them what I have just said when they ask the same basic question. They still loved me just as much, so I take that I didn't offend them when I said it. Like you said, it's a personal diciscion, and people have every right to do that. But you have the 'right' to kill a child still in the womb, and that doesn't make it ethical, nor does it mean that God is happy about it.

Here are a few verses to help you in your problem.

"9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
1 cor 6:9-10

"22 " 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."
Lev 18:22

"13 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
Lev 20: 13

"24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."
-Rom 1: 24-27, 42

"11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
-1 cor 6:11 (just a little verse to remind you that no matter what, God is always the Great Forgiver ^^; isn't He wondefrful that way?)

I will however not paste this to my journal because people I know will find it offenseive; I find it offensive in a few manners as well, like the use of a curse. Sorry. It bothers me. But I hope the verses can be of some help to you.

Please, no one try noting or replying this to give me hate mail or a burn. I wouldn't respond. I am only even replying to this journal because LKS asked me to. I don't do this sort of thing often. I won't do it if I think people are going to smite me with their freakish, twisted wrath--which has happened before. Thank you.

i'd definately leave.
people are intitled to their own opinions and if she thinks he'd burn in hell she can think that all she wants. but that doesn't mean she's right, or that he will. bad opinions should normally be kept to one's self.
the Bible, ah where to start, like all religious things, not even close to black and white. and like most, people inturpret it to suit themselves. being okay with gays doesn't mean your satanistic. neither does disagreeing with the Bible. to be a Satanist you have to worship Satan.
of course this is my opinion only. religions confuse me horribly.
