Maybe, but it doesn't matter.

Unless Coretta Scott King is God and is changing what the definition of marriage is... it doesn't matter what she says outside of being able to speak her mind freely.

No Angela.... my wife is the best woman I know and my love grows stronger each day. Thanks for the concern though.

I love my brother more than I love my wife in some ways. I've kissed men and I've wept with men. I didn't have homosexual sex with them though.

the bible is also a book of history and God recorded His creation history in the book.

Teachers of this version of tantra frequently have the belief that sex and sexual experiences are a sacred act[4] which is capable of elevating its participants to a higher spiritual plane. They often talk about raising Kundalini energy[5][6], worshiping the divine feminine, activating the chakras[7], and experiencing full-body orgasms.

Teachers of this version of tantra frequently have the belief that sex and sexual experiences are a sacred act[4] which is capable of elevating its participants to a higher spiritual plane. They often talk about raising Kundalini energy[5][6], worshiping the divine feminine, activating the chakras[7], and experiencing full-body orgasms. The word "tantra," in this context, often refers to the set of techniques for cultivating a more fulfilling sexual or love relationship. On the other hand, there are also some truly dedicated scholars and teachers in the field of modern tantra.

Guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, later known as Osho, used his version of tantra in combination with breathing techniques, bio-energy, yoga and massage in some of the groups at his ashram. He is the author of many books on meditation, taoism, buddhism and mysticism, and at least six on tantra. One of them is Tantra, The Supreme Understanding, in which he unpacks the verses of the Song of Mahamudra, by Tilopa. In addition out of his discourses on the Vigyan Bhiarav (or Vijnaya-bhairava), the 112 practices for enlightenment[8] resulted in the much longer The Book of Secrets.

His students continue to develop his concepts. One of his students is Margot Anand, who founded a school called "Skydancing" tantra. She is the author of dozens of books including the Art of Everyday Ecstasy and the Art of Sexual Magic.

Another modern tantrika is Daniel Odier who believes that Desire can be a valid pathway to transcendence[9]. He has translated and interpreted the yoga spandakarika, and has written books on tantra, buddhism, kashmiri shaivism, and meditation.less

Tantra exists in Shaiva, Vaisnava,[14] Ganapatya,[15] Saurya [16]and Shakta forms, amongst others. Strictly speaking, within individual traditions, tantric texts are classified as Shaiva Āgamas, Vaishnava Pāñcarātra Saṃhitās,[17] and Shakta Tantras, but there is no clear dividing line between these works, and on a practical basis the expression Tantra generally includes all such works.[18]

The Tantric tradition may be considered as either parallel to, or intertwined with, the Vedic tradition. The primary sources of written Tantric lore are the agama, which generally consist of four parts, delineating metaphysical knowledge (jnana), contemplative procedures (yoga), ritual regulations (kriya), and ethical and religious injunctions (charya).

Schools and lineages affiliate themselves with specific agamic traditions.

André Padoux notes that in India, tantrism is marked by a rejection of orthodox Vedic tenets.[10] Maurice Winernitz, in his review of the literature of tantra, points out that while Indian tantric texts are not positively hostile to the Vedas, they propound that the precepts of the Vedas are too difficult for our age, and so, for that reason, an easier cult and an easier doctrine have been revealed in them.[11] Some orthodox Brahmans who accept the authority of the Vedas reject the authority of the Tantras.[12] N.

Rhi... I think you may be mistaken. The concept of sexual orientation was considered well before the 19th century. It's listed in the OT and I believe the OT was around waaaay before the 19th century. The exact word of homosexual wasn't around possibly, but other words such as SODOMITE was.

Trib... you're not getting why I put those there. It was tongue in cheek. They were in direct disagreement with Rhi and others. I simply placed Rhi's entry with other sins that the bible says we can't continue to live out with my own to show how wrong Rhi and others are about it.

Please show where Christ says anything about homosexual 'marriage'. Mt. 19 1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. 3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?” ...more

Mt. 19
1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan.
2 Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there.

3 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?”

4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”less

No, admonition means that it's accepted right bartlett? lol Funny how words can be twisted.

it's not marrying

black skin vs. human free will choice....

Amen, a Christian who believes in Reiki and Tantric methods. Neither of which are Christian. In fact, in order to perform these two, you have to be NEW AGERS!

I watched him last week. He's pretty funny!

He's right. It can't be shaken because no matter what kind of face you put on homosexuality is a sin and should stop isn't going to be taken well unless the person WANTS to accept Christ. So, Christians shouldn't try. Just do it in love as we're commanded and let the Lord do the work.
