Then, at least finish the passage where it says in vs 32 "although they KNOW God's righteous decrees that those who who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them".
I know that many Christians interpret those passages that way above but that is not what the Bible says.

It is true that people know what they are doing and they do have the choice of repentance but the Bible states in fact that God turned them over to their lust.

I see it the same as going to jail, because it is said that the criminals put themselves into the jail by committing the crime, but it is the jail keeper that locks that door, and God put the homosexual into a kind of jail and by repentance they can get free.

The tyrannical elite in Washington usurp more powers from the states and the citizens and the average person doesn't even realize or is too self absorbed or ignorant to care.
People will go about their business and laws will be passed. By the time they find out what laws were passed and how it affects them, it'll be too late.

err, It's usually Christians burning the crosses on people's lawns, not muslims, jews, buddists, what-have-you. They typically belong to the KKK, but I wouldn't expect a holy roller like yourself to know this.

So Christians are intolerant of God's own doings, and so the Christians are wrong.
Above, you said that God did it and below, you said that criminals put themselves into the jail. WHY DO YOU DOUBLETALK? It can't be both ways.

God is simply the driver. Each of us individually chooses our actions. God gives us all a way out and it's up to us to choose. Jesus healed many people of their sicknesses & handicaps because they didn't choose to be that way. He destroyed Sodom & Gomorrah AFTER giving them a chance to come out of that lifestyle. They wouldn't! If it was something they were born with, He would have cured them, but since it was their choice, He destroyed them. OK? I'm simply telling you that God DIDN'T make them that way.

We are being severely silenced by many hate groups including the democrats. In Canada they can't even talk about homosexuality. If Pelosi and the ACLU has their way, we won't even be able to say anything about God or sin ANYWHERE in the USA! We consider this a hate crime but our "leaders" don't. And please, DO NOT CALL THE KKK a Christian group!

Yes it can be both ways. God does His part and we do our part. It is as a two edged sword that cuts both ways.

There it is, a two way sword, it cuts both ways, it works both ways. God does His part and mankind does their parts.

That is it again, people chose their way and God acted in His way. A person does wrong and God heals them anyway, and another person does right and God gives them hardships anyway. He gave Jesus the hardest of hardships. That is the way the system works. Being a deciple means to get greater trials and to be a sinner means to receive hardships. A two edged sword that cuts both ways. Amen.

That is correct that people are not created as homosexuals and they choose that lifestyle but God created people with that capacity and God puts the swine into the pens where they belong.

You're comments of the enemy within show extremism, the very same thing we're fighting against. As a Democrat, and one who has supported the surge and one who wants to see a strong America, I resented those comments. But, people like you take what forestool and JPC post and see that as the thoughts of most liberals, instead of actually listening to Democrats with an open mind. You brought up some good points about the bible, but I was already turned off to what you have to say on here with that enemy within remark.
