Hello Infidel…

First thing to say is that “Adam and Steve” isn’t really the crux of this debate… it is a question, an internal debate among Christian groups about what the Bible says on the subject.

On you question, I don’t think your argument follows… We were created to eat food – different types, whether it grows on trees or not is not the point. We were created for relationships, one man/one woman, this is what the Bible says, this is also what creation says – ie. the mechanics of sex, procreation etc.

Cheers,
Hughbo

How is your Adam and Steve argument any more valid than “If god had intended us to eat cookies, he would have made them grow on trees”?

This may be a little off topic, but I dont think the Bible is homophobic or ever has been. Homophobia means scared of gay people right? but is God scared of them? No.

If I was gay, would Jesus love me? Yes. The difference is that Jesus would hate the sin and hate it when I continue with the sin. The good shepherd is the one that leaves behind 99sheep to find that 1 lost lamb.

Love the person, hate the sin.
