<<<<: I see where you are coming from.

I think you're making my argument for me. The things I mentioned, as it happens, are both found in nature and prohibited by God. And certainly, there are many things prohibited by God that are not listed in the 10 Commandments. So the Argument From Natural Observation (my name) doesn't work, because observable natural behaviour could still be forbidden by God.
:
: " The big problem with this argument is that, if true, then *all* of the behaviours we observe in the animal kingdom must be natural and ok. Stealing food from weaker neighbours and members of my family, for example. "
: ****THOU SHALL NOT STEAL
: "Killing intruders. Killing potential intruders.
: Abandoning my young. Killing my young."
: ****THOU SHALL NOT KILL
: :Being as adulterous as possible.
: ****THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY (BETRAYAL)
: All of these behaviours are easily observable in the animal kingdom, and quite commonplace. But of course, the sensible Christian would never try to use these kind of observable behaviours and a model for Christian living. Why do Christian homosexuals do this?
: : Chris
: Why do Christian homosexuals ever do such things? It is because they are against the Ten Commandments, however homosexuality is not.
: That is my take on it.
: Peace,
