I don't see your point... if you're saying that she's a homo and will always be one, then are you not also saying that God cannot save from sin?

Which god? Mankind has invented thousands of them.

Also, a lot of people including me don't think lesbianism is a sin.

“Which god? Mankind has invented thousands of them.”

The one mankind DIDN’T invent.

“Also, a lot of people including me don’t think lesbianism is a sin.”

Yeah well that would more or less follow not believing in God. In fact if you don’t believe in God there is no sin at all; rather things you personally think simply good or bad.

Sometimes I consider how quiet and orderly and peaceful my world would be if only there were no God...

Okay, Elkfersupper, I'm game for a debate on homosexuality.

I spent a lot of time on that issue years ago in a former denomination, and while I didn't expect to see that discussion here on Free Republic, I think we need to be ready to give an answer at all times and in all places for what we believe as Christians.

Let's start with a simple question for clarification, and then a more probing question.

1. You say you don't believe lesbianism is a sin. That is an unusual way to phrase the statement. Does that mean you do have an objection to male homosexuality but not to lesbianism? (Those familiar with these debates in Reform and Conservative Judaism may know why I'm asking the question, even though I'm guessing this is a tangent where Elkfersupper was not going.)

2. More to the point, however, your phrase implies that do you believe that sin exists, just that lesbianism isn't a sin. If I'm reading you correctly that you believe sin exists, how do we know what sin is?

I'll follow up based on your answers.

I don't want to presume what you believe; that's not fair to you and you deserve to be treated as an individual with your own views, neither blamed nor praised for somebody else’s views which you may not hold.

Elkfersupper, you're a Freeper and you've been here for quite a while. That means we agree about many things politically.

Please read this thread and then let's talk about the way people advocating an agenda very alien to what you and I believe have succeeded in manipulating American public opinion on homosexuality.
