how is it u can charge Godforsaken gays with sodomy?

Anyone, homosexual or not, can be cited using local anti- sodomy laws.  \n\nMany municipalities have had anti-sodomy laws on the books for years, and years.  These laws were typically placed into code to limit prostitution by creating an offense for which the payor could also be charged.  The payee could be charged with solicitation, but without the sodomy law the payor would face no penalty.  If only the prostitute was charged, then the 'john' would likely move on to the next prostitute thereby perpetuating the problem.\n\nI believe that in recent years only two instances have occurred (or at least gained national attention) where anti-sodomy laws were used in the case of homosexuals.  \n\nAnd frankly, I am mystified at how someone came up with the idea to use anti-sodomy codes to target homosexuals.  One would think that local police departments have more important matters to attend, thereby leaving the judgement of sin in God's capable hands.

you deserve to be mocked and teased. Even worse but don't worry, you'll get whats coming to you. When you burn in Hell for your mixed decisions to have sex with the same sex you'll wish you hadn't.\n\nHave you lost your mind. That is not how God intended things to be

This would be something out of that person's control.  God will not bear onto a soul except for that which it can tolerate.  Since it isn't clear which sex this person is, maybe a homosexual act wouldn't be as harshly judged.  Afterall, being an intersexual seems like enough of a trial.\n\nAnd God only knows best

To the one who thinks he's the Bible and God expert. Being gay IS NOT a sin. Doing "gross" things with people of the same sex IS a sin. People are born being gay, so they can't do anything about it. Nobody can force you to like someone.

Legally?? Whats the punishment for illegal gayness??

This is a serious question and I don't appreciate others making light of it.  First of all, the Bible is clear that being homosexual is a sin.  "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet" \n(Rom 1:26-27).  Just look at the example of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19:24)!  Now, can a person be homosexual and go to heaven?  Well, if one has a sin of which is not repented, then he will perish:  "I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3, 5). This is talking about the "2nd death" which is Hell.\n\nPut simply, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind," (I Cor. 6:9).  The "abusers of themselves with mankind" is refering to homosexuals.\n\nNow, God is a just and righteous God!  He would NEVER make it to where someone was UNABLE to repent.  Therefore, homosexuals are that by choice.  They can choose to repent, and obey God faithfully, and get out of that sin.  "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (I Cor. 10:13).  Therefore, these that are involved in this sin are able to come out of it.  They can escape it, and repent, and become Christians, and then go to heaven!  How wonderful our God is.  The God of mercy, the just One!\n\nI hope this has helped.\nPlease e-Mail me if anyone would like a Bible study (Treytrumpet1@hotmail.com)

You don't have to pay them squat. Ministers get "love gifts" for ministering (caring for) their parishoners. If you aren't thrilled with your spiritual leader, find someone else. You never have to pay to speak with God; he's a gift freely given to all. See John 3:16.

rewrite it all you want, the story of Sodom was obvoius, even after being blinded the men drove wild by thier homosexal desires still try to find the men to rape them.\n\nThey were preverted into sexual illness.\n\nIt is wrong and against nature, no matter who you want to try to twist facts to prove it ok.\n\nIt would not even be legal today if it had not been for judges ruling against the public opinion.  had it been put up to a vote, it would still be illegal in the US.\n\nBut enjoy your preversions while you wish, God will flood his judgement on you in his time also.

I don't agree with casting "per-verbial stones" at anyone.  We are not the ones that are given the right to judge.  But I can tell you why homosexuality is looked down upon if someone truly wishes to serve God.  Homosexuality is condemned in the Bible.  In both the Hebrew (old) and Greek (new) scriptures, homosexuality is condemned.  In 1 Cor. 6:9, 10, homosexuals are lumped in with fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, theives, and extortioners as ones that will not inherit God's kingdom.  \n\nWhen reading the Bible, you have to take the whole book into account.  You have to be willing to accept God's thinking on all matters.  He created us; he knows what's best for us; he instituted the marriage arrangement.  God has never condoned same-sex relationships, and since God is the same from time indefinite to time indefinite, we can be sure he still feels the same as he did when he had the Bible penned.

Strike up a conversation about someone who is gay and see what their stance is. Then tell them if it isn't too terrible.

You should instigate a torrid affair and then threaten to go public. Churches will pay huge amounts of money to avoid these sort of scandals.

Not if they ask God to forgive them. In the Bible, it says being gay is a sin. Many people sin, and God forgives them. If Bin Laden asks God for His forgiveness, He will forgive them, so I guess He will forgive gays

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. \nI have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge \nwith as many people as I can. \nI do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other specific \nBiblical laws and how to follow them.\n\na) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a \npleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. \nThey claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?\n\nb) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in \nExodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price \nfor her?\n\nc) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her \nperiod of menstrual uncleanness (Lev.15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? \nI have tried asking, but most women take offense. If I come into contact with \na woman who is menstruating and she doesn't tell me until afterwards, must I \nkill her immediately or can I just beat her?\n\nd) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, \nprovided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims\nthat this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? \nWhy can't I own Canadians?\n\ne) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 \nclearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill \nhim myself? Also, is Sabbath on Saturday as Seventh Day Adventists \n(Christians, like us...or are they?) or is it on Sunday as Baptists and \nsome other faiths agree? I am beset by not knowing who to kill and when \nto kill them...please clarify this for me.\n\nf) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination\n (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality (Lev. 18:22). \nI don't agree. I'm also confused about how homosexuality can be an abomination \nwhen Jonathan and David were married in the Bible (1 Samuel 18:1, 3 - 4). \nHere, I'll quote it - "And it came to pass, when he had made an end of \nspeaking unto Saul that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David \nand Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Then Jonathan and David made a \ncovenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself\nof the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even \nto his sword and to his bow and to his girdle." and also Ruth's relationship \nwith Naomi is suspect, (Ruth 1:16-17) "And Ruth said to Naomi, Entreat me not \nto leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, \nI will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, \nand thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: \nthe Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part three and me.\n" Can you settle this?\n\ng) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a \ndefect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my \nvision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?\n\nh) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around \ntheir temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27 and even \nthough 1st Cor. 11:4-6 says that it is a shame upon a man to have long hair. \nHow should they die?\n\ni) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me \nunclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves? Also, since it is \nstrictly forbidden to "eat neither fat nor blood" in Lev. 3:17 & Lev. 19:26, \ndoes that mean that I must be a vegetarian and must I smite those who choose \nto eat meat?\n\nj) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different \ncrops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two \ndifferent kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse \nand blaspheme a lot. Is i

I don't know, no one has come forward and announced he or she was gay. They would be welcomed in our church, but the church would hope the individual would change their lifestyle, since it is against the bible.

If someone pays my fine, even if I do not like that person, then the government can no longer demand payment from me.  If Jesus paid my debt, then God can no longer demand it from me.  How could God still punish sinners after Jesus died for us all\n\nThe Bible says that Jesus was a ransom sacrifice who died to set us free (Mark 10:45).  Is this ransom paid to God or to the Devil?  If to God, then why did God kill his own son to set us free when he could have just set us free and keep his son?  If the ransom was paid to the devil, then how could the devil be on such great bargaining terms with God to demand his very son?\n\n\nThe question arises that Can't God just forgive Christians and not have to kill Jesus? \n\n\nthe expected answers will be here i.e. "love , love, because of love".... \n\nhow about this love of God ...\n"O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent?- Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias; In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together." (QURAN 82:6-8)\n["Say: "O my Servants who have excessively wronged their own souls, despair not of God's Mercy: for God forgives all sins for He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.\nTurn to your Lord (for forgiveness) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that you shall not be helped." (Quran 39:53-54.)]\n\n(QURAN 85.14) "He ( Allah ) is the Forgiving, the Loving, And He is the Oft-Forgiving Full of loving-kindness"\n\nonly Islam has solutions for the problems raised above.\n\nAllah knows best
