If Walt Disney was born b.c.. We'd all be praising Mickey Mouse. Take the teachings and grow,don't let it define your being. Don't use it as a crutch for your hatred or confusion. People have been butchered over their beliefs and the differences between their beliefs. When it's only the teachings in how to be a decent human being that should matter. It's time to evolve and take what is meant to be a path to keep you good and decent and keep it at that. Great stories with great morals and that's it.

The Bible says that homosexuakity is an abomination but the word abomination translated in those days from Aramaic took on a lesser meaning. Other " abominations " in the Bible incident eating shellfish and pork and working on t Saturdays and Divorce which many Christians do. The Bible also speaks of stoning your children or wives that commit adultery and having slavery . IT SEEMS VERY UNFAIR to me to pick parts of the Bible that were written thousands of years ago by monks who had no understanding of the pysiology of homosexuality. Jesus said live thy neighbor as thyself and do for the poor which many Right wing Christians seem to find repugnant. We should not condemn homosexuality. It is part of the variety in human sexual it and I know many homosexuality couples who love each other deeply and are very committed to each other and can now finally get married because of the Supreme CT ruling that I marriage is a civil right between 2 consenting adults. Our founders made it very clear that there should be separation of Church and state, not a theocracy of one religion

God Rested on the Seventh Day ....not the first Day. Genesis 2 makes this very clear. Also the Fourth Commandment States remember the Sabbath day ( which since the beginning of time is the Seventh Day of the week. Saturday

All sexual acts are evil. It's the devil's greatest tool to bring all of mankind to their demise. He uses it to corrupt and manipulate. Before Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge, they did not desire one another, because to do so was unholy. They were just mere companions. But, once they disobeyed God and were forbidden from the garden of Eden, they became susceptible to the desires of evil and lust was knocking on their doorstep waiting to demolish the spirits of God's creation. One of the punishments that God ordered Adam and Eve to perform, was to populate the earth. In doing so, all women would feel great sorrow while giving birth, a punishment that was bestowed on women because Eve tempted Adam to eat the apple. It has been commanded that they will populate the earth, it was not commanded, that they would be allowed to enjoy the act and continue to do so without producing an offspring. That's how the devil stirred the pot and had mankind believe that they are entitled to pleasures on earth. We are not entitled to anything. We must prove ourselves by our actions according to what has been written in the scriptures and the faith the we have in Jesus Christ will set us free from all evil. Morale of the story is to get off your butt, work for the Lord and put your faith in Jesus Christ, because we are all sinners.

Pardon me to say this. I am not a gay and i never see them as sinners. If you have met with a couple of ladyboy you will understand that they are born that way (they dont have control over who they were born to be) and never chose to be that way. My point is we must love and accept them. Yes God created and Adam and Eve but not Adam and Steve. Bible readers says homosexual is a sin. I do not disagree with that. Remember all creatures are good and beautiful as well. We must accept and see good in everything God created and accept them. If we really understand the teachings of Jesus christ we would have a depth understanding about this topic. Homosexual or no homosexual, sinners or no sinners, righteous or no righteous. I can't remember the verse (No one is righteous before God not even one....He will also show mercy to whom He wants to show it to) Please let us pray for His grace. Let the gay live. They are humans that are created that way. Thank you

There are many differences among Christian denominations. Every Christian denomination has their differences in belief & practice, which is why Christianity is comprised of so many different sects. For the author of this post to single out those of the Catholic faith as holding different beliefs from all other Christians is quite prejudicial, since every denomination holds to their own differing understanding & interpretation of scripture. .

I don't normally write on forums but felt in this instance I needed to. We have all search a certain question which has lead us to this page, the differences between two variants of faith. What I don't understand is how the section on being gay out of all of it has triggered the responses. I'm just finding God, he I believe can teach me many things, from what I'm reading I can find peace, dignity, humanity and re find my path. Matthew 7:1 do not judge, that you be not judged. If your saying(ppl who have been negative) I am not welcome to practise my believes and try and live by my faith just because I'm gay well then that is your choice I will not judge you as God has taught me not to. Maybe you should take a moment and ask what actually is the difference, loving Respecting and worshiping God has got nothing to do with sexuality but to do with your own biasis and fears. God loves all his children.

The lord loves homosexual people, what he condemns is the acts that they are doing is against all creation. We could never survive if life if life is between the same sexes.

No, mature Christians have NOT started to think homosexuality is ok it IS still a sin but that does NOT mean we can't be friends/love/care for homosexual people, we only think it not right to do so ourselves, as in gods eyes it is a sin. We also do not necessarily believe baptism is the gateway to salvation because Jesus did not NEED baptism to resurrect, rather it is more a public declaration of or faith and a first step to follow the commands of Jesus/God
