Oooh. I'm the other way around. I've had seizures all my life and had to go to the doctors for every other thing. Now, I go for regular check-ups. I don't know about others, but I think I and many have a good sense of good health and bad health if not stubborn to go to the doctors when something...

Korn - Word Up!

I think the logic applies to the flu-if you don't have symptoms doctors won't treat you. So, you're free to go to work and walk around without you knowing if you're asymptomatic. You can't go to a doctor to treat you for possible asymptomatic symptoms that may infect others. So, it's the same...

What faith do you follow? It's kinda like s mix of Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism to a broad brushing extent.

A good morning run and meditation. I've been jotting synchronicities and signs lately. Some are little reminders and others warnings. I'm learning forgiveness but don't know quite how to see a change. Reading encouraging poetry and a good book on spirituality helps. I've heard it said that...

Unfortunately, that's the case in the states: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/12/16/covid-vaccine-side-effects-compensation-lawsuit.html "In February, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar invoked the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act. The 2005 law...

That would have been an interesting discussion to be a part of. I think the term is the problem. If biblical translates called it something else I guess there weren't be too much of an issue.

It is. One thing that eats at me is conversion therapies. The Church still has them (https://couragerc.org/). I don't watch movies regarding that because of it. We have antiabortion rallies here. Also, one adult store here had to hide her merchandise to keep her business. The Church protested...

I won't be able to read the whole thing. Does it talk about double standards among some christians when it comes to sins?

Ok. In this case I'm talking of lust and murder not sexual (rather than gender) orientation. Lust is wrong (according to Christianity) but if the same two people had sex outside lust their actions would be sinful based on the sex of both parties involved. I know not all Christians think that...

Read post 33. I think there's a lot of bias here. Can gay people talk about homosexuality being a sin? Can Christians say they hate Christ? To much guessing intentions behind posts.

I'm lesbian and not a Christian. That aside, I'm not sure why the topic homosexuality has to be such an issue, though. If we can think outside the box and put away old repeated objections we can talk about topics in a different light. Since I'm not Christian this doesn't bother me in respects...

Most christians I come across say the intention of murder from someone who didnt mean to is not punished. However, if another person intended to murder then they would be. The same logic should apply to homosexuality (in this context same-sex sex) in that if the action is of lust then its a sin...

Edit. I take that back. The OP uses homosexuality to address how intention of two people having sssex outside lust compared to someone with mental health condition committing murder without ill purposeful intention. If the latter is excused based on intent why not the former?

That's what I was thinking.

What is the rational of murder done outside the tribe? (And does the sin of murder matter based on it's intent and/or just determined wether it is so if committed in the tribe or not?) Which is different than sodomy because it effects tribal survival?

You can take the term homosexuality out and just use same sex sex with intention of lust for the OP. I've never heard the bible not mentioning this as a sin in it's scriptures so I'm curious too other interpretations thereof? (Cough or use sodomy)

Homosexuality isn't defined as an action in your scriptures?

This isn't about homosexuality. It's just an example of one sin excused and another is is not. Whether it's an actual sin or not is irrelevant since the context isn't about the nature of homosexuality. I'm just using the word as it is most commonly defined by christians for the OP rather than...

If homosexuality is a sin (actions) it's comparable to other abominations. But the question has more to do with one set of sins being excused by intentions and other sins are not. I mostly speak with Christians so I'm not sure if Jews (broadly speaking) think homosexuality is an action...
