Don't you guys love this! This is a conversation that truely needs beer and pizza! I am happy to see that everyone is (for the most part) keeping this thread conversational and not allowing it to turn into an ugly shouting match.[b said:Quote[/b] (nature_boi @ July 13 2004,4:04)]1) For those of us who are Christians, we believe that the Bible is the true inspired Word of God! That is part of our faith! Its no different than people having faith that the world was created 100 million years ago! That is what they believe! Thus, again, as Christians, we believe the Bible and what it says is true! (thus meaning that we believe Homosexuatlity to be wrong)
One caution I must point out. I avoid lumping all Christians in to one group. Christianity covers a very large base of denominations. Several major denominations are debating the very issue of same sex marriage as we speak. Also, for me, being Christian does not mean taking the bible at a literal, word for word translation. I am a strong Christian, I would not be here today were it not for my faith in a higher power. But I also believe that Jesus died to take away my SINS, not my MIND.
Be careful about assuming any statement that lumps any group of individuals into one category, (such as Christianity, or homosexual, or republican, or…) will apply to all.
