Bill recently made the claim that he `only goes by what the bible says...


Well...the bible pretty well condemns homosexuality in clear terms.


There's a guy who tries to `clarify' what the scripture teaches on the
subject of male-male sodomy, and female-female sodomy.


But all he really does is cloud the issue into a `justification' for
male-male sodomy and female-female sodomy `being ok' ....`cause the
bible was *really* talking about THAT certain time (biblical times)
and THAT certain people (the Israelites).


He goes on to make the claim that `well....Jesus never said anything
against male-male sodomy or female-female sodomy!'


The simple answer to THAT is Jesus didn't feel he had to! It had
already been covered by the Old Testament!


He then goes on to say...`well...it NEVER says anything about `women'
homosexuals!


But it does.


In Romans 1:26-27:


"Even their women exchange natural relations for unnatural ones."


The act of sodomy, whether male-male sodomy or female-female sodomy,
is a sin by Christian standards.


`Christianity' is defined by the bible, NOT some sodomite religious
fanatic, or sodomite organization. Or by some egotistical Roman
emperor who, around 400 years after the death of Jesus, just makes
up his own dogma and imposes it on the `Catholic' church (emperor
Constantine).


`Christianity' was defined by Jesus himself who the New Testament
teaches was `The Christ'.


Are there `sodomite Christians'? is a question asked often. Can a
`Christian also be a sodomite'?


The answer is; there are many Christians who `struggle' with tendencies
of sodomy. And that `struggle' may be hard.


But committing the ACT of sodomy, whether male-male sodomy or female-
female sodomy, is SIN in the eyes of God. There is no `toleration'
for it in the eyes of God OR His Church. Therefore...yes, the bible
DOES say something about female sodomites. It is also condemned as
a sin in the eyes of God. Therefore...there is no such thing as a
`Christian' sodomite.


Being `tempted' is one thing...actually committing the act, is the sin.


Its like being strongly tempted to steal money from a hiding place
you know your mother or grandmother keeps money hidden.


You KNOW its there. You SEE her add money to it and put it back there
all the time.


You don't TAKE the money...but you really really WANT to. Are you a
thief? No...you're sorely TEMPTED to be....but you don't take the
money. You overcome your urge to steal and you remain an honest
person.


Its the act of TAKING that which doesn't belong to you that puts you
in the category of a thief.

And when you become a `thief'...you can no longer reside in the category
of `an honest man'.


When sodomites commit the act of `sodomy' they can no longer claim to
be an adherent of Christ. Christ strongly preached the teachings of
God's Word. He made mention of the Old Scriptute and the importance
of following its teachings quite often.


Bill `just goes by the bible'. So naturally, we KNOW Bill is well
aware that there is no such thing as a Christian who also engages
in the practice of sodomy, either male `suck-dickery', or `female
`chick-lickery'. If they practice it...its nob-biblical, and its
certainly non-Christian.


And Bill `just goes by the bible'.
