Bible Discussion Thread

I disagree with Sigmund on two counts. First, sin is a choice, and whether we agree with it or not, like it or dislike it, or are confused by it, the Bible says homosexuality is a sin, period. The Bible also says that the Lord will always provide us a way of escaping sin, see 1 Corinthians chapter 10, and verse 13. If homosexuality is inborn, unavoidable and inescapable condition in those individuals who practice it, then saying so makes the truth of the Bible a lie. In other words, something can’t be both sinful and inescapable because the Lord will always provide a means of escape. Simply put, the sin of homosexuality is not inescapable medical condition. Secondly, I believe there is a real hell. I believe these verses are more than just figurative. See Matthew Chapter 5, verse 22, 29-30; chapter 10, verse 28; chapter 11, verse 23; chapter 16, verse 18; chapter 18, verse 9; chapter 23, verse 15 and 33; Mark chapter 9, verse 43, 45, and 47; Luke chapter 10, verse 15, chapter 12, verse 5, chapter 16, verse 23; Acts chapter 2, verse 27 and 31; James chapter 3, verse 6; 2nd Peter chapter 2, verse 4; Revelation chapter 1, verse 18; chapter 6, verse 8, chapter 20, verse 13 and 14. These references are only ones from the New Testament.
