Subject: I'm at work and don't have the resources to answer you fully now James Author: Rusty [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Fri, September 05, 2008 12:37:08 In reply to: James M 's message, "Bhuddism does not condemn homosexuality and..." on Fri, September 05, 2008 11:11:01 But I'll get back to you with scripture and verse from each of the religions. No, masturbation is not murder (or a sin either if I interpret the story of Onan correctly.) (If I remember the story correctly) The Biblical story about Onan and spilling seed isn't a condemnation of masturbation. Onan was pulling out during sex with his second wife, who was his brother's widow so that he would not get her pregnant and have to share his estate with her as was proscribed by the Jewish law at the time. The act of spilling his seed to avoid complying with the law to provide for the widow and her offspring was the sin. Has more to do with greed and not doing with the things God gives you for His purposes than sexual immorality. I'll get back to you on the other stuff. And Yes, Jesus does condemn homosexuality. I'll get the verse for you. Check a Red Letter version of the Bible and you will see that it was a quote. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
