| Immoral? I'd like to really know. |

Is that a Biblical word? Or is it a word man invented and placed in between being sin and holy?
Sorta like Purgatory. |

term. And, as with all secular words such as this, the definition is subject to change.
It is a sin. However, I am not sure what the term immoral means today. From what it used to mean, I would say sure. However, morals do not dictate whether we get into heaven.
Sorry to complicate a simple question....  |

Why can't you people just answer the question? Immoral is the opposite of moral. Just treat it that way then. Ask yourself if it is moral. That should not be so hard for a Christian to answer.
If that doesn't work, here are some synonyms:
unacceptable, unprincipled, reprobate, indecent, disgraceful, base, wrong, vile, sinful, lustful...I could go on and on , but I think you get the picture.
But if you have to think about it, just don't answer.... |

Not at all like Purgatory....
I have a complete concordance and you are right, that word is not in the KJV, but I think it is in other translations., BUT either way , there are numerous words in the Bible that mean the same thing...I don't think that is the case with "Purgatory".
Regardless everyone knows what it means. Are you serious with your question or trying to stir up a hornet's nest? |

Hmmm.... I didn't see that as part of the question. Did I overlook something?
I think everyone knows what the word means, and what the poll is about.
I guess I do need an attitude adjustment...Sorry I spouted off, but it is so irritating when it is so obvious what is meant and someone hi-jacks the thread. I have read some of your posts and some of Brenda's, and Bronco's posts and I know that you are much too intelligent not to understand what this is about. |

I asked a logical question.

We find out that its another invented word. And in M.O. its a word to help man feel better at the style of living he does. Without Christ.
Self righteousness... maybe? |

| Word "is" |
Listener2 |
If we can decide what the meaning of "is" is, then maybe we can answer a simple question. We can contact Bill Clinton for the meaning of "is" if that would help us here. 
Please don't start a thread about Bill........ Just answer this SIMPLE question! |

And.. what is the question? What is the meaning of Is?
Ok.. I'll go back to my corner.
Oh and regarding the topic question, Is Homosexuality Immoral.. I'd say its sin. |

What is immoral:
definition---violating principles of right and wrong
To me, moral is subjective in some cases. What is moral for one is not for another. I see cutting vet benefits and cutting elderly benefits immoral. Yet, some would say it was necessary to pay for the war.
I see homosexuality as a sin....period. Thats what the bible says. But dont get me caught up in to wordology and debating what words mean. |

Who said it was a Biblical poll? Polls aren't Biblical either, but we do them.

Please refer to the beginning of this thread for the question. And the meaning of "is" is far too involved to discuss here. Let's just keep the poll going. |

OK we know it is sexual, and you have agreed that it is a sin, therefore it is a sexual sin...sexual sins are immoral by definition. |

And who invented all the other words? Look at the oldest dictionary you can find and see if the word immoral is listed. It means among other things, "wrong". That covers it all. |

homosexuality is a sin, just like a lie is a sin, just like any type of sex before marriage is a sin. Is it a worse sin than all other sins? I would have to say, no! Does God hate homosexuality? Yes! Does God hate sin? Yes! Are the homosexuals worse than any other sinner? I dont think so.

I voted NO just to make this poll more democratic.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: I don't honestly think homosexuality is moral behavior. It is disgusting and abominable. |

But of course.
The reason has nothing to do with "democracy" -- and everything to do with THEOcracy.
