Homosexuality

So what do we think about this big and usually intense issue? Are people born gay? Do people become gay? Is the church to closed to gay people? Is our government right to not recognise their relationships legally? does 'God hate fags'?

What does the bible say? I know at some point someone will post verses from leviticus. That's fine, it saves me searching for them, but what ELSE does the bible have to say?

There is so much in the media about these issues. What should Christians think. I'll wager a can of coke now that we are going to have some vastly polar opinions.

Do we make general sexual sin a separate topic or combine it into this one?

The Big Questions: Marriage

Dave and I have realised that so many of us don't really have well though out, biblical, or informed opinions on some pretty weighty topics. So we're going to be posting on both of our blogs about them, lookng for opinions, facts, and bible verses relating to the big questions. In Peter 3.15 we are told to be prepared to give an answer - always - but so often these things aren't talked about in churches. When they are, it is usually very one sided, and doesnt allow for real world influences.

Weigh in to these. Argue, inform. make your opinion known. be willing to change your opinion. Learn, so that next time someone asks believer or not, you have a balanced, thought out answer. Also, be willing to give us more questions to pose. We want to go deeper, people. Check em out, here and at http://dave-punk-emo.blogspot.com/

To get us started: Is Marriage still relevant?
Do we still encourage marriage in today's society? Is it still the right way, or not culturally relevant? Is Commitment enough? Should there be marriage for christians and something else for others? Should it be harder to get married than it currently is? (currently all you need to do is apply for a license and wait 28 days)
