God Hates Shrimp!

I am completely unaware of Jesus speaking of a place of eternal torment. Please enlighten me on that.

I am aware of a "Lake of Fire" being mentioned that the unfaithful would be cast into and destroyed, but that is not Hell.

I find the web site and those who have the same thoughts on gay's very offensive!
as for all the BIBLE quotes gents....I just remember one thing...the Bible was written by MEN...

i think a lot of christians issues with homosexuality is what I will call "lifestyle."

i post this only for clarification, not to debate anyone. i know not everyone thinks that homosexuality is a sin. i am clarifying the stance of those that do.

according to most religions, homosexuality is a sin. yes, sin is forgivable assuming you are repentant. Repentant literally means to turn away from. If you are homosexual and have embraced that, whether by living together, getting married, or simply acting out on your homosexuality, then you have not turn away from your sin. instead, you have decided that your lifestyle will embrace that sin.
For me, the same can be said of people who are living together and sleeping together before marriage. Both, according to the bible, are sexual sins. In both instances, someone has chosen to live a lifestyle of embracing that sin.

I think there is a big difference in someone who has urges to sin, and might even sin on occasion, but is trying to turn away from that sin. And someone who has decided that their sin is just a part of who they are and therefore have no desire to turn away.


home that made sense. not trying to argue, just trying to explain a little.

+1 Good points.

jesus speaks of hell a ton. what do you think the lake of fire is exactly?

jesus refers to hell over 50 times but here are a few:

Mark 9:43-48: And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched."

Matt 25:41: "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."
