1) what is the Holy Bible mean to Christians ?

2) what does the Holy Bible say about homosexuality "

3) what is the definition of a Christian Church ?

Not all people who believe in God follow the Bible's every "rule" ... like I said, MOST don't. So get over it.

[spookyturtle 9,466]

Would you like me to re quote the versus in the NEW TESTAMENT that condemn homosexuality? If so I will put them in big bold font so nobody here is mistaken about what the Holy Bible says in regards to homosexuality.

Sure. Quote Jesus and I'll read it. Why do you ignore the One who the New Testament was written about? Love thy neighbor as thyself. Simple statement, but impossible for mankind to follow.

What does the Holy Bible say about sodomy?

Learn before you post.

Sodomy is wrong according to the Bible but 'Christians' are more accepting of a women being stuffed in the wrong hole vs man to man stuffing.

Lesbians don't necessarily need to commit sodomy but it's still a homosexual relationship and wrong yet I'm sure you would welcome them with open arms to your church.

Oh you mean they pick and choose what rules of God they agree to follow eh?

Again, Jesus died for our sins so we don't have to. Mr. Spookyturtle quoted scripture also; Jesus commanded us to love one another. The old testament is about judgement and the new testament is about grace and forgiveness. I encourage you to really read the bible instead of looking up quotes on the internet that support your disgust and hatred.

Who doesn't? The Bible says "no" to a lot of things. But hey, focus on homosexuality if you want. I don't really care. Your country has made you a minority and that's fine with me!

Of course they do. Just as we each pick and choose which rules and laws we choose to follow.

Hey I eat shellfish and pork. I can feel the hell fire already.

It's not what goes into ones body that defiles it, it's what comes out of it's heart.

Leviticus 20:13

"If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense." (NLT)

Judges 19:16-24

That evening an old man came home from his work in the fields. He was from the hill country of Ephraim, but he was living in Gibeah, where the people were from the tribe of Benjamin. When he saw the travelers sitting in the town square, he asked them where they were from and where they were going.

"We have been in Bethlehem in Judah," the man replied. "We are on our way to a remote area in the hill country of Ephraim, which is my home. I traveled to Bethlehem, and now I'm returning home. But no one has taken us in for the night, even though we have everything we need. We have straw and feed for our donkeys and plenty of bread and wine for ourselves."

"You are welcome to stay with me," the old man said. "I will give you anything you might need. But whatever you do, don't spend the night in the square." So he took them home with him and fed the donkeys. After they washed their feet, they ate and drank together. While they were enjoying themselves, a crowd of troublemakers from the town surrounded the house. They began beating at the door and shouting to the old man, "Bring out the man who is staying with you so we can have sex with him." The old man stepped outside to talk to them. "No, my brothers, don't do such an evil thing. For this man is a guest in my house, and such a thing would be shameful. Here, take my virgin daughter and this man's concubine. I will bring them out to you, and you can abuse them and do whatever you like. But don't do such a shameful thing to this man." (NLT)

1 Kings 14:24

And there were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that the LORD drove out before the people of Israel. (ESV)

1 Kings 15:12

He put away the male cult prostitutes out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. (ESV)

2 Kings 23:7

He also tore down the living quarters of the male and female shrine prostitutes that were inside the Temple of the LORD, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah pole. (NLT)

Romans 1:18-32

But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.... Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.

So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.

That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.

Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. They know God's justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too. (NLT)

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Don't you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people-none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (NLT)

1 Timothy 1:8-10

Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine ... (ESV)

Jude 7

And don't forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God's judgment. (NIV)

I went to church for most of my childhood and I can tell you right off hand what books are in the Old and New Testament.

Now people on here can try and say the sun rises in the West, or the can call say that up really means down or vice versa. Bend it all you want but it is what it is and the Holy Bible is the official rule book for Christians.

...and yet, you learned so little.

[spookyturtle 9,466]

I went to church for most of my childhood and I can tell you right off hand what books are in the Old and New Testament. There is the Holy Bible and some of those versus up above are out of the Holy Bible.

Now people on here can try and say the sun rises in the West, or the can call say that up really means down or vice versa. Bend it all you want but it is what it is and the Holy Bible is the official rule book for Christians.

So then you are quite familiar with the teachings of Jesus. Love they neighbor as thyself.

Then I guess Jesus was gay?
