So what makes homosexuality any more of a potential sin than heterosexuality?A lot of "wrongdoing" went on in the OT and God did not intervene. The OT is actually full of these instances. And there , no doubt, has been God intervention in modern times (but quickly brushed aside by a skeptical world) The 4 day war between Israel and Egypt is a great example.
God never intervenes, trust me. Nobody here's a booming voice from the sky "And I am the LORD and you will do as I say"That's where faith comes in. The Bible proves itself to be God's Word. That outcast was something else! He has made 1000's of predictions that have been fulfilled!
EXACTLY. Since it is your personal belief that God exists, your idea of God is no different than your superego (the part of your mind that keeps you 'in line' with the world). To you it feels as though this is another person / view of you, but it is really just you judging others / yourself.
As for predictions, they happen because the Bible is the most widespread book in the world and people want to make the unfinished predictions come true. An example is the re-foundation of Israel.
1) Heterosexuality is NOT a sin. (in the confines of marriage)
2) Yeah, I'm sure Russia and the USA sat there and said, "Hey! Lets give the Jews their land back so we can fulfill scripture!"
