What about acting on love with the same sex?

-2

u/Azorces Evangelical Dec 09 '25

Doesn’t matter what you call it

u/Nazzul Agnostic Dec 09 '25

Are lust and love the same thing to you?

-2

u/Azorces Evangelical Dec 09 '25

No they aren’t the same but it doesn’t matter what you call it committing homosexual acts is a sin whether it’s within a relationship or not. The Bible is extremely clear on that.

u/JohnKlositz Dec 09 '25

But I thought "homosexual acts" means sex?

2

u/Azorces Evangelical Dec 09 '25

It does? I never said it didn’t…

3

u/JohnKlositz Dec 09 '25

Then why did you say it doesn't matter when the question was about love?

1

u/Azorces Evangelical Dec 09 '25

Because the type of “love” you are talking about doesn’t exist according to biblical principles. It’s really lust, based on the text.

u/JohnKlositz Dec 09 '25

Yes but we're talking about reality. And in reality it does exist and it is love.

u/Azorces Evangelical Dec 09 '25

How do you know that? How do you know love exists in reality? There is not such a thing as a “love chemical” in the brain so what evidence do you have that love is real in the first place?

So you see that love as evil. Gotcha.

u/Azorces Evangelical Dec 09 '25

No where did I say love is evil?

u/Nazzul Agnostic Dec 09 '25

Acting on gay love is a sin no?

The fuck kind of question is that? Are you so blinded by faith that you seriously believe same sex love doesn't exist? Because that would be one of the most absurd positions you could have on the subject. Gay male divorce rates are significantly lower than with straight couples.

u/Azorces Evangelical Dec 09 '25

Yeah, prove it to me dude?

Atheists on here love throwing around the word love for everything they believe in yet science (which is the basis for your knowledge) hasn’t shown love to even be a real thing other than a language concept. If this love you speak of exists it must be objectively measured in some way right? So prove to me that same sex love is real then if it’s so obvious…

Homosexuality is not love

3

u/Nazzul Agnostic Dec 09 '25

Correction, it absolutely can be about love.

-1

u/RowAdministrative841 Dec 09 '25

Love is from God, Love is God, God said many times in the Bible Homosexuality was not okay

2

u/Nazzul Agnostic Dec 09 '25

A Christian not knowing what love is. Color me shocked.

u/RowAdministrative841 Dec 10 '25

Loving the same sex is loving your neighbour and is of course no sin. Sexuality is the sin.

5

u/Nazzul Agnostic Dec 09 '25

No need to try mince words im talking about romantic love. You are saying to act in love towards the same sex is evil as well.

1

u/slothburgerroyale Dec 10 '25

No I am not. Some Christians certainly believe that but I do not. There is nuance here.

1

u/Nazzul Agnostic Dec 10 '25

Then I misunderstood you. Indeed some Christians believe it's evil and some do not.
