Society doesn't advance from homosexuality, again, you're showing your ignorance.
Since nobody can be this stupid, you're obviously trolling. Well played.
Hebrews 10:26
For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
Well then 99% of people are going to hell...
Did you miss the word "willfully"??? I sin everyday, but it sure isnt willfully as Id much rather not.
Lying is a choice, you willfully lie. You could just tell the truth. Just as an example. People whom willingly have premarital sex...
God doesn't hate the "sinner" he hates the "sin".
I was taught that "Sin" to God is like "poop" to us. Hear me out I was taught this in a simple way when I was young and it stuck with me.
I always had trouble seeing how stealing is the same as murder in his eyes. To me stealing is harmless in comparison to taking a life. God is so pure that any "sin" great or small will contaminate his purity.
So here it goes... You have a nice clean glass of water which represents God.
You wouldn't think twice to drink that water.
Now let me add a big chunk of poop to that water. Would you drink it now?
Ok let's get another clean glass of water. This time I will take a really small part of the poop. Would you drink that now?
I can't cast judgment about someone else's sin when I have enough of my own sins to deal with.

willfully means that you set out to deliberately do something....its what we would call premeditated.
If I am suddenly asked a question in the heat of the moment and quickly tell a lie before thinking about the consequences of my actions, I have not willfully lied.
Scripture has evidence of a couple who willfully lied, however.
Acts 5 said:
They agree together to lie (premeditated) and then went and lied and then lied that it wasnt a lie.
Now lets look at someone who didnt lie willfully

You hit the nail on the head my friend. I truly to believe there are people who have a propensity towards being attracted sexually to the opposite sex. Guess what? It's still a sin. I might have a propensity towards lying, or maybe I have one towards murder. Guess what? Those are still sins as well.
The argument "I was made like this," or "I was born like this" implies that because those tendencies come naturally to that person they must be ok right? WRONG.
We live in a fallen world full of sin. We're bombarded with it daily relentlessley.
Who are you to decide what's right? Further, why do you feel the need to insert yourself into the lives of others that are doing exactly zero to hurt you? Awfully egotistical.
Here we are with your definition of "normal" again only this time you throw in "scale". Please define what you feel is "normal scale" for nature.
BTW, primates definitely show this behavior. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/07/0722_040722_gayanimal_2.html
From the article:
The bonobo, an African ape closely related to humans, has an even bigger sexual appetite. Studies suggest 75 percent of bonobo sex is nonreproductive and that nearly all bonobos are bisexual. Frans de Waal, author of Bonobo: The Forgotten Ape, calls the species a "make love, not war" primate. He believes bonobos use sex to resolve conflicts between individuals.
Other animals appear to go through a homosexual phase before they become fully mature. For instance, male dolphin calves often form temporary sexual partnerships, which scientists believe help to establish lifelong bonds. Such sexual behavior has been documented only relatively recently. Zoologists have been accused of skirting round the subject for fear of stepping into a political minefield.

You're somehow instead making a connection between gays and kids impregnating kids? I need help with this one.
Doesn't advance much from the uncaring, uneducated waste of society procreating just to add another layer of themselves for the rest to take care of.
There are many gay/lesbian couples that have adopted and made the lives of their kids much better. You're probably thinking, though, that their kids inevitably become gay/lesbian, too. You would, however, be wrong.
There's a lot more to societal advancement then just the ability to crap out kids. :read:
sigh
When you masturbate, you do so willfully and with premeditation. I know next to nothing about your doctrine but I'll bet that it's not okay yet you most likely do it often. How much trouble, exactly, does this get you in with "da boss"?
You will have to forgive venom. He's not the brightest star in the sky.
I just don't get people who can't see past the first tree in a forest of 'em.
Since this thread was questioning religious views, your reason to be in this thread is invalid!:beer:
So everyone who chooses them self over righteousness at any time will not make it to heaven? Anyone who makes just one mistakes and chooses to sin will not be Saved Grace?
This.
