Because God said so. That...Why is being gay a sin?<br /><br />Because God said so. That is why.<br /><br />Definition of a sin, committing a act or doing something that God hates.<br /><br />Basic biology - look at how the male and female bodies designed to create another being. Two men and two women cannot create another being. We were created just like the animals to be able to reproduce after our own kind meaning human.<br /><br />Now the bible has made it as clear as ABC that God hates homosexuality as it goes the way we have been designed. Show me a time in the bible when God highfived this. It always ended in a bad way.<br /><br />It seems we are living in a day and age when men don't like to forfeit the wickedness in their own hearts or they consider obedience as too hard because of their own selfish desires that they have to come up with platitudes such as 'the bible has been disputed by many men throughout the ages'. And it is 'hate'.<br /><br />What is real hate is if God who has the power to wipe everything completely, who created as here did not warn us what displeased him.<br /><br />Whoever thinks it is okay to live a life outside of what God wants is being foolish. If you believe all the things that the media tells you about certain attitudes and norms and lifestyles, you are being brainwashed. These people hate God and people and want to destroy everything that is good and wholesome.<br /><br />To conclude, the duggars are not perfect and perhaps neither is this girls father.but you probably get more truth out of them and it does not hurt to practise their beliefs such as not date, get married and have children which is what has always been the norm. <br /><br />That unlike the beliefs pushed by media will not send you to hell.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-14265285835500992462017-03-13T08:04:55.920-05:002017-03-13T08:04:55.920-05:00I have to agree with 3:24, there are truly people ...I have to agree with 3:24, there are truly people out there that are in fact happy being single and have no intention at all of getting married.

I have to say, that is preposterous and and a very condescending thing for anyone to say to another human being. You are placing yourself as an authority on what constitutes sin and that is putting down the other person for what they believe. If interpreting the Bible were a simple matter, we would not have countless religions and eons of dispute over it. There are many people who disagree with you about homosexuality, myself included and it isn't going to matter at all how much someone preaches against it. You can believe what you like, but don't expect understanding when you use those beliefs to belittle or discriminate against an entire group of people.

They are full of personal attacks on individual family members. This blog, although intended to be a fan blog, is routinely speckled with what you would most definitely call hate speech if the comments were turned on you and your own family and belief system. Do you hear the Duggars complain? Do you hear the majority of Christians whining and pouting and saying we want the entire internet shut down because we are offended? Nope. We take it in stride because we know that we live in a world filled with people who disagree and in a country filled with people who have the protected right to disagree and say so. Being a mature adult should mean that you have enough personal strength and integrity to live your life according to your own standards and convictions and you allow others the space and freedom to do the same without needing to call in a referee or the "hate police" when you get your feelings hurt. I imagine if the Duggars read everything written about them on a daily basis, they would be deeply hurt. I have a feeling they read quite a bit of it. Do they lash out? Do they demand that the world tolerate them and that those in authority silence the differing opinions? Nope. They walk in love and they trust that God's grace is sufficient. What an outstanding example for us all.Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-18888287471191267352017-03-10T15:46:04.569-06:002017-03-10T15:46:04.569-06:00For the people who think being gay is a choice, d...For the people who think being gay is a choice, do you know any gay people?

You are, then, saying your beliefs are superior to those you disagree with. You are asking the blog authors to censor other people because they are being honest about what they believe. Can you imagine the uproar if they asked that you be censored because you support gay lifestyles? <br /><br />I find it disturbing that folks are so quick to accuse Christians of "hate" speech anytime they repeat what the Bible teaches and admit that they do agree with it. So, in other words, according to many liberals, if you don't agree with all of the standards set by our current culture, you are hateful. <br /><br />You value your freedom of thought and speech, right? Might I suggest you allow the same freedoms to those you don't understand or agree with? This is America - "land of the free", not "land of those required to agree with majority/public/pop culture opinion".Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-51071555241473011342017-03-10T14:21:47.595-06:002017-03-10T14:21:47.595-06:00The Bible says to stone people, too, and worse.
