Stop swapping terms and answer the question as it is put.

No, since I view them as the same, as does God, they are absolutely interchangible.  You'll note I'm not TELLING a Homosexual they're not allowed to have sex with a person of the same gender, only noting that it's wrong & is a sin, JUST as Adultery is.

[_JS]

No, since I view them as the same, as does God, they are absolutely interchangible.

How do you know that God views them as the same?

Why will you answer the question when you've changed the wording for your own purposes, but not answer it directly?

[kimba1]

so than it`s ok for people to attracted to the same sex as long as they don`t have sex.

Bible says so

Hey, I'm attracted to Phoebe Cates, and I know she's married.  So, yea, I guess it's ok

[kimba1]

same here
do you know if paradise is on dvd?
I only got fast times
pretty sure private school is available

[_JS]

Bible says so

Where does the Bible say that homosexuality and adultery are equal in God's view?

Hey, I'm attracted to Phoebe Cates, and I know she's married.  So, yea, I guess it's ok

Mathew 5:27-28 (Jesus speaking)

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

By your logic Sirs, you've committed adultery. And I can substitute homosexuality for adultery because you consider them interchangable.

Alas, I don't think so, since I've kept my eyes opened for it.  Fast Times is obviously the best bet for now

When I get home, I'll endeavor to find the passages that place the 2 as similar sins.  And being attracted is not akin to coveting or "wanting" to have sex, I'm afraid.  Nice try though

[_JS]

Then what is attraction?

[kimba1]

I`m pretty sure you know that answer to this movie quiz
from interviews of videostore clerks acrossed the country
what part of the videotape in fast times is streched out the most due to constant replay.

[Amianthus]

Then what is attraction?

Well, I can really like a work of art, but that doesn't mean I want to have sex with it.

Here are a bunch of definitions of attraction, most of which don't include any reliance on sex.

[_JS]

So you think an attraction to Phoebe Cates has nothing to do with sex, but is more like an appreciation for a work of art?

[sirs]

Then what is attraction?

Are you blind?  She's drop dead cute.  Do you think that means I want to have sex with her though?  Is that where your mind tends to wander......the gutter?

[Amianthus]

So you think an attraction to Phoebe Cates has nothing to do with sex, but is more like an appreciation for a work of art?

Can be. I'm not homosexual, but I can appreciate a good looking guy.

I'm sure there are plenty of guys that are attracted to Phoebe Cates in a sexual manner, but that is not the only way to appreciate her looks.

Fer instance, I think she's attractive, but she's not my type so I have never fantasized about her.
