anti-Ron Paul Talking Point: "Ron Paul says homosexuality not a sin"

[FrankRep]

Ron Paul on Homosexuality






Being 'gay' a sin? Ron Paul can't say -
Congressman on God condemning homosexuality: 'I have trouble with that'

World Net Daily
February 11, 2009

Only months after announcing his candidacy for president, Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, declared that he could not judge homosexuality as a sin and affirmed his support for the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy – a rule the Obama administration has indicated it plans to repeal altogether.​

A sin against who? God?

That's like saying something is criminal because it hurts the State.

No victim, no crime.

No victim, no sin either.

Let the homosexuals love each other, it does no harm to me or mine.

 

[FrankRep]

A sin against who? God?

Ron Paul claims to be a Christian, but the Christian bible calls Homosexuality a sin.

Let those who never had sex out of wedlock cast the first stones.

Edit: and this reply is why I support Dr. Paul:

"They're imperfect because we're all imperfect, and we all sin. So, if the heterosexual or the homosexual sins, that, to me, is a category dealing with their own soul," Paul replied. "… I sort of think that for the practicality of running a military, I just assume not know every serious thing that any heterosexual did or any homosexual did. Those flaws have to do with all our flaws because each and every one of us has had imperfections, and we all are sinners."

Let those who never had sex out of wedlock cast the first stones.

That's also a sin.

Calling something a sin doesn't mean you're throwing a "stone" (judging a sin).
Judging a sin (throwing stones) and Calling something a sin are two separate things.

Calling something a sin doesn't mean you're throwing a "stone." Calling something a sin and judging a sin are two separate things.

What I said went over your head. The fact that it is a sin, is exactly why I said that and it ties into the quote from RP.

And as far as judging......judge not, lest ye be judged.

Do you not understand that?

Yes, the Holy Bible , Old and New Testaments , both condemn homosexuality among a list of other sins. All of us are sinners and we all have to work at it and repent. Now, for people to say "there is nothing wrong with being gay", is excusing the sin just substitute any of the other sins "there is nothing wrong with murder" or "there is nothing wrong with stealing"...it is not up to MAN to decide what is a sin or not a sin. CLEARLY the list of sins cause danger and damage to the preserverance of humans...and that is why GOD pegged it as a sin. Homosexuality , like promiscuous sex, spreads diseases and how can you continue the species if everyone is gay? THe homosexuals better be glad their parents weren't gay...and the abortion people better be glad their parents didn't believe like they do...see my point? I certainly do not hate homosexuals though and most of them tell me "I didn't ask for this"...so i am sympathetic....I don't judge, I'm just telling what the Bible say. That is God's call.

Do you not understand that?

Yes and we are all sinners. So if you follow the logic of that article, we shouldn't allow anybody in the military.

The title is misleading.

Congressman on God condemning homosexuality: 'I have trouble with that'

Having trouble believing God condemns homosexuality is not a non-Christian standpoint. "The Bible says so" is a weak and oft-used argument on this point. The same section most reliably quoted to show God hates gays is also rife with information on how to properly conduct animal sacrifices. Food for thought.

 

[FrankRep]

The title is misleading.

I made the title slightly misleading on purpose. I put it under Media Spin and put it in quotes.

The media can have a field day with Ron Paul's answers in this video.

 

[VIDEODROME]

Is it the place of a Congressman to discuss what is and isn't a Sin?

If you want to ask someone about sins ask a priest.

 

[Aratus]

he's being logically libertarian

Ron Paul has taken a stance
on "don't ask don't tell" that is
like most of the GOP right now?
seems to me UNCLE SAM can get
way too intrusive into private lives...

 

[mport1]

Don't you mean pro-Ron Paul talking point?

 

[FrankRep]

Don't you mean pro-Ron Paul talking point?

Do you want Ron Paul do get elected or not.

 

[Yieu]

I made the title slightly misleading on purpose.

Have you read the thread in my sig yet?

How about now?



Edit for clarity: You know, the media might not do such things if you didn't give them suggestions... which is the point of the thread in my sig.

 

[Aratus]

the mccain version of this issue may play in peoria and traditional neo-con
strongholds. the more open policy that barack obama likes plays in liberal
precincts. expecting final judgement day in the next month and desiring a
total makeover of our laws at the expense of our BILL OF RIGHTS is a more
severe stance. seems to me the variations on these basic stances gains and
looses voters if we look at what polling tells us. ron paul says what he thinks.

you know if the bible was written by god or jesus. I would say take it word for word but the bible was written by man or "inspired men" Something tells me not to trust inspired men! I feel god gave me a brain to question human propaganda!!! The bible is a collection of writings that was pulled together by powerful men who had powerful needs to control the masses ! bottom line have faith in god but having to much faith in what man wrote in the bible is blind faith!! some would say i will go to hell just for that but i say let god be the judge of that since god gave me a brain to question men!! Does god condemn homosexuality or does man? I think the later!! Can someone please show me where God said this?? I actually had someone tell me the writing in red in the bible is what god said! I counter no, what is written in red is what man said god said! that is a huge difference!! waits to get attacked now!

God is a spirit and does his work on earth through humans...He did his work through the prophets and Jesus. Now, Christians believe that the Bible was written BY GOD through Human hands. If you are not a Christian or a person of faith you will probably have issues with this ..."there is a way that seems right for a man but in the end leads to death". No Christian is going to listen to a non believer concerning matters of faith.
