>>>>>Actually I didn't look it up like you do. My reference to homophobia was based upon some of Rick's earlier messages in other threads.
>>>>
>>>>I don't understand the phobia part. Do they really imply all those who disagree with homosexuality are scared of it? For xenophobia likewise.

>>>
>>>I do not have homophobia. The Bible teaches that homosexuals will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, and I teach the same. Tore has likened this to homophobia.
>>
>>No-one does, because it simply does not exist. One is born as hetro- or homosexual. It is not a matter choice, which is too often ignored. I cannot imagine Jesus would have expelled homosexuals anyways (Yes most people recognise that he did exist).
>
>I believe it is a myth that they want us to believe that one is born homosexual. It is an acquired taste, and a choice, the same as pedophile and fetish and all other strange and unnatural and unhealthy desires. Even if a minor percentage indeed would be born that way, it is used as an excuse for the rest of the 99 %.
>
>Jesus condemned all immoral sin and he mentioned specifically the downfall of Sodom and Gomorrah as an example, because of the sodomites in those cities. I understand that your viewpoint is the one of majority, but then I do not think that the majority is always right.
>
>I have seen homosexuals, after they converted to Christ changed their desires and married and had happy and healthy families. Also, to have a desire which is not profitable for your spiritual life does not automatically mean that you ought to live it out, and it also does not meant that if you live it out you would be a happier person.
>
>If someone does not believe in God and any moral standards, but instead in evolution, he does not need to worry, because since people that are born homosexual do not contribute to the survival of the race would be eradicated after some time in the evolution process.

I have been making a sincere effort to avoid political and other controversial threads. This is a perfect example why.
