This article: Homosexuality and the bible by Walter Wink is a grounded read.
I read it off Titration’s blog. She posted some of her favorite paragraphs… here are mine:
“Semen and menstrual blood rendered all who touched them unclean (Lev. 15:16). Intercourse [...]

Yesterday, the senior pastor [whom i respected and still do] made a statement that struck me as interesting and i began to question it.
He was preaching from Matthew 5:13-16 about being the salt of the earth and light of the world:
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how [...]

I was reading Ogy’s post on Old Dragon.
The story has two Christian protagonists, Ogy and Jo, and two other Christian sisters, Ci Ruth and Ci Arista. Essentially, a newly single Ogy went into the refuge of Ci Ruth’s house, became good friends with Ruth’s best friend, Arista, as well as Ruth’s housemate, Jo. Friendship with [...]

What’s “flesh”? You will find out as you browse this:
Walking in the law sends you to hell.
Why? Because walking in law causes you to manifest behaviors in the paragraph below:
Sounds scary? Sounds outrageous? Read on…
Regarding “adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries [...]

Lavrai,
Let’s take your arguments one by one.
First of all, the angels with Lot were not fallen angels; they were angels from God. [I must also say that when Lot offered his daughters to the crowd, he wasn't doing a great deed that is pleasing to the Lord, but that is a side line.] And therefore [...]

In response to Lavrai’s comment on Sodom being destroyed because of sexuality immorality:
First of all, i am not troubled by the verses in my previous post. I am curious. Now that you got me started, let’s go-
In Jude 1:6-8, where angels left their own abode to mate with humans, that’s before the great flood of [...]

I was randomly reading Ezekiel 16 in the bible when i saw an interesting flow of verses.
God is speaking to his people in Jerusalem. He described how he took mercy on her when she had nothing, entered into a love covenant with her and clothed with with beauty and splendor. And then Jerusalem was unfaithful. [...]

After watching the video by Jeff [previous post], a quick search on google.com came up with a few bible characters who are suggested to be gay.
1. Ruth and Naomi
This write up provides the context of Ruth’s times. It also explains that the Hebrew word “dabaq” [clung] in Ruth 1:14 is the same word used [...]

It’s truly amazing… how God restores to everyone whatever crap they go through.
The loving thing about God is…
… it doesn’t matter if you screwed up or you were screwed up… or varying degrees of both.
He doesn’t bother with blame-attribution; He cares about His child.
And with that, everyone is greatly blessed as they move on…
With abounding [...]

The pastor said that everything God gave unto us, we should expect things to prosper and grow.
The examples:
If God gives you a church, the church is expected to grow! If a church doesn’t grow, people should ask the pastor what’s he/she doing instead of paying him/her.
If God gives you a company, the company is expected [...]

Many Christians were told that they are not supposed to marry anyone of a different faith. And many churches enforced this as a “law” that would invoke the Lord’s displeasure should you flout it. Now, many Christians can’t even date non-believers. [I wonder why they didn't say anything about non-believing friends... haven't they heard of [...]

Generally speaking…
The clamp down on homosexuals in the church is not out of genuine concern.
The clamp down on homosexuals in the church is all about power play.
When people approach me about my sexuality, i look out for their intent. Many times, it’s out of attempts to effect control over you, not genuine concern. Sometimes it’s [...]

The first reaction people, especially non-Christians, give me when i tell them of the incident is:
Why on earth do you want to attend a church that bashes you!? If you want to, then this is expected.
Ya, maybe that’s why i wasn’t traumatized- this incident doesn’t fall out of my expectations.
The thing is:
Church ≠ [...]

Dear homophobic Christians,
Aren’t you in a mental fix?
People like me put you in a tipsy turvy.
Because to you… i am a walking contradiction.
How can gay people be Christian from young?
How can anyone who relies on God; is passionate about Christ be gay?
How can anyone who’s sane, happy and living a good life… be gay?
Do you [...]

Today, immediately after church, kai and i had the honor of being escorted from the overflow room to a windowless tiny “prayer and healing room” by a lady usher. When i said escorted, i meant the lady usher was holding on firmly to kai and I. Pastor Matthew wanted a word with us. The well-furnished [...]
