Peace....
Wael, the one point you made that I'd like to emphasize is when you stated:
<i>"they also believe that the Bible do not condemn homosexuality."</i>
The above shows they are not true believers as the bible does indeed condemn the homosexual relationship as an abomination in the eyes of Jehovah. Like I was reading in the "Essence of Islam" thread when speaking about why some muslims shy away from jihad.
The same can be said for chrisitans who don't teach against those who practice homosexuality and profess to be chrisitans. They are embarrassed to quote the verses that condemn this practice to their gay/lesbian friends. They wish they can erase these verses so they would not be criticized by this ever increasingly wicked world with it's backward principles, despite its claims to be civilized. If they cannot do that they try to misinterpret and distort their meanings so they suit the whims and desires of the ones who practice this sinful act.
And the Bible warned this would happen:
2 Timothy 3:1-5
(1) BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].
(2) For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane.
(3) [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.
(4) [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God.
(5) For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].
