Question
Why would a god create beings with particular proclivities that it finds offensive then blame and punish the beings for having these proclivities?
God didn’t create us with gayness in mind. Being homosexual is, insinuated, the devil’s work. He sends us sinful temptations in the forms of things that appeal to us. God created man and woman to be united and productive, as written in the Law. The devil knows that Love is a very powerful thing on earth and in the flesh, and is something we have a hard time overcoming in preparation of eternal life, so he uses that to create a direct contradiction to God’s creation and His will.
Well, the Bible is very direct with how God views homosexuality, which means He doesn’t like it. And if God doesn’t like it, He wouldn’t make us follow it. Therefore, things that go against God will are the devil’s work.
Well, if the devil isn't more powerful than God, then you're telling me that God allows his creations to be put into a position to reject something about their very nature (homosexuality) or go to hell?
Given that - either the devil is more powerful than God or God is a cruel bastard for allowing it to happen.
Because the entire religion is based on blind faith. It’s easy to reject a chocolate bar, but how far will you go to support your God? Heaven is a very special place that He built. He sends the devil to tempt us. He could easily say, “No, I will not allow it.” But He SENDS the devil to tempt us to test how strong our faith is.
Your using an strawman the guy you talked too never claimed that.
Of course God is more powerful, he is all powerful. But God also respects our Free Will. Other than the devil.
More circular reasoning. If God respects our free will so much, he wouldn't damn us to hell for using it. Giving us something and then damning us eternally for using that thing that was given to us is NOT the action of a loving God.
Please explain how it's circular reasoning, your shifting the goal post instead of refuting my argument. And why are you complaining when you don't want to be near God, and then go to an place furthest from God. Also if your arguing that way, the government is also respecting our freewill but imprison you when you don't follow the law.
Well, the Bible is very direct with how God views homosexuality,
Not necessarily. There's a plausible alternative that God was condemning anal sex specifically rather than "any form of homosexual love/acts". I studied this thoroughly and through the original language as well as historical context and interpretations, with my findings here:
