Does the Bible condemn gay sex?
-
The Bible doesn’t discuss gay feelings, but it does discuss gay sex. There are only a handful of passages which mention same-gender sexual relationships, and all of them are negative.
There are basically two ways to interpret these passages, and gay Christians are divided on which is the appropriate one.
One view holds that the Bible does condemn gay sex, and that gay Christians should commit themselves to lifelong celibacy. This is the predominant view in the Roman Catholic Church, for example.
The other view holds that the Bible condemns certain sexual practices - including the homosexual sex rites of ancient pagan idol worship - but that God blesses a loving, monogamous, Christ-centered, same-sex marriage. A lot of information on this view can be found in the “Bible & theology” section of our resource page.
Please stop spamming the forums. Also, if you want to discuss religious views, keep them to the religion section. -
Why worry yourself over what basically amounts to an elaborate fairy tale thinks about man to man dick in butt sex? :surprise:

Yes. So what? It's all bullshit anyway…

I read something once that explained the bible and all its meaning very simply.
Think if the bible as this wonderful colorful mosaic made up of millions of bits of colored glass. Each bit of colored glass is a bible verse.
You can take each bit of colored glass and look at it or you can arrange all the bit of colored glass by color.
But you will never see the whole picture unless you take the mosaic as a whole.

Fortunately I feel the same way about Gilligan's Island except it is a far nicer mosaic.

CARM is an apologetics site.
Religious "apologetics" = mental gymnastics to justify their religious beliefs.
