--- Quote ---2. I understand why some transgressions are sins (murder, theft) but others I do not (homosexuality, pre-marital sex). I would like to understand why these are sins more so than just 'because God said so'.

Exo 20:5  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,...

Col 2:16  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17  Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

God expects us to obey and be faithful.

Rev 21:9  ... Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Joel:
Actually I just asked God about an hour ago what I should say to a friend of mine in a email reply other than quoting him some scriptures.

Joel

Deborah-Leigh:


Why anything?... Why not? lol :)

I don't have questions. I accept that I know nothing...before God!

God answers everything in the sufficiency that He is all knowing. Rest in that understanding comes after the experience that answers are not God Himself.

Dennis Vogel:
I've thought hard about some of these questions myself over the years.

Watch most 2 year-old's and you will see us before we start learning what is good and evil. Gaining the knowledge of good and evil is a major reason why we are here.

We learn to control ourselves which separates us from animals. Men especially would fornicate all day long with as many women as possible if left to our animal drives.

I always remember that line from "When Harry met Sally:" "No. You pretty much want to nail them, too."

There are many self-evident and practical reasons not to have premarital or homosexual sex.

God puts these drives in us that we cannot overcome and then He tells us to not do it, knowing we cannot resist. There is a purpose behind His plan and it goes back to learning good and evil. You cannot know what is good without experiencing evil.

We must overcome or suffer the consequences. But in the end we are "puppets on a string."

Myself....I would just shut up, listen and soak it all in. I'm sure he's heard enough of my whining over the last 39 years  8)
