Christian Science does not agree with the theory that morals grow out of people's behavior. It stands firmly on the ground that morals for mankind are derived from the divine Mind, God, and that they are therefore ageless. Morally right behavior pertaining to sex was revealed by Moses. Christ Jesus unveiled more of the spiritual basis of the moral law, but of this law he said, "I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Matt. 5:17; Mrs. Eddy in her revelation of Christian Science shows us that human behavior in accord with the moral law is scientifically related to divine Truth. And in this scientific relationship we find the basis for the healing of sin. That homosexuality is a deviation from the moral law is made plain in the Bible, where it is recorded that the Lord spoke to Moses saying, "If a man ... lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death: their blood shall be upon them." Lev. 20:13; In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount we find the harshness of the Mosaic law modified. We also find emphasis placed more on motives than on overt acts. But we do not find any actual change in the rightness or wrongness of behavior in regard to sex. Lust is explained as a thing of the heart, and Christian Science shows that the motives of the heart govern the acts of the body as well as the health of the body.

    No thanks, I’m not going to sit around waiting for some “miracle” to change something I actually quite love about myself.

      Food is sweet, but not every substance is to be taken (poison, your 12-year old boy).
      Eyeglasses to the eye, and knives to vegetables (things have purpose).
      Syphilis is rightly a disorder, so is marriage with a boiling pot (dis + order).

      Some people are bully, and they love that about themselves.
      Your youthfulness will still fade,
      You’ll grow old and will need another’s help.
      You’ll die one day, and after death comes judgement.
      If you love yourself, choose one suffering.
      Suffering twice is: in this world and after judgement in hell.
      A wise person will choose to suffer once.

      We have to give God thanks for everything, even if not by miracle (by practice).

        You will grow old and need another’s help.

        And what business is it of yours if that other is the same gender as me?

          I went on to another topic.
          Rebellious question.

          If you are speaking of chores, there is nothing wrong with chores.
          You can cook with a pot. Use a pot for cooking and not for marriage.

                  Well. If you are young, may God preserve your innocency. If you are not young; it means that eyeglasses goes to the eye while knives goes to vegetables.
                  Marriage should be between a man and a woman. Everything other than that is a perversion.
                  Doing things done in marriage outside of marriage is a perversion.
                  Summary of all is this: Always seek what pleases God in all you do.

            I moved on to another topic.

            It sounded like you were talking about the same thing to me. Besides, why is that relevant? Moving on to another topic doesn’t mean you don’t have to answer questions about the previous one.

            Rebellious question.

            Is that an insult where you come from? Because it’s a compliment around here. You’re a stranger on the internet, not my dad. Why should I look up to you?

            Besides, even if you were my dad, I was raised to question my parents and make my own decisions once I was old enough to understand. We ask questions to arrive at the truth, not to more accurately ascertain the will of whoever has the most authority.

          I am talking about Christianity.
          Government is people (president, vice, ministers, senators).
          They too eat and go to toilet.
          You shouldn’t fear them (but you must not commit crime/killings).

          Drones and robots are man-made.
          Just like bombs, gun etc.
          If they kill people, know that man/evil government… (pressed the KILL button).

          Every man/government will be judged by God.
