What do you mean by that, Europeans only legalized it barely 10 years old. Yes! sometimes the foundations of life remain the same throughout ages.

Homosexuality is an evil practice. It's not even done by animals. Why would a human being put his penis in the anus of another fella.

A lot of men who would not classify themselves as gay, fancy fucking their girls or wives in the anus claiming they have a right to "both holes". Are these men gay and don't know it?

BISEXUAL, but have you heard a man shouting for a right as to how he sleeps with her wife. Don't kick don't tell.

Our laws may or do forbid such relationships. If so it about time we take a look at them . Societal values have changed and our laws must change in line with them.

Writing about Stoicism and Christianity this is what some have said about why society has changed

God has given us a a Brain to use to change things around us.

Having such promptings and commands from God, what further can I tell you? Am I more powerful than He? Am I more worthy of confidence? But if you observe these, do you want any others besides? "Well, but he has not given these orders," you will say. Apply your best thoughts. Apply the proofs of philosophers. Apply the good things you have heard. Apply even the good things you have said yourself. Apply what you have read. Apply what you have meditated on (and you will then see that all these things are from God).
Indeed, God gave each of us a brain. He gave us each a mind, a soul and a heart. Did he give us these things so that we might go about blindly? No, Epictetus tells us God gave us Science and Philosophy for a reason. He gave us these things so that we might make informed judgments with regard to our actions. That is one reason why study of the Bible, Philosophy and Science are important.
Perhaps the greatest scientist who ever lived was Sir Isaac Newton. He believed that the study of science was the study of the "mind of God". He was a fundamentalist Christian. It is not well known that he wrote more about religion than he did mathematics, optics, astronomy, etcetera. He pursued so vigorously ideas about gravity and calculus because he believed it was the will of God that we should understand these things, and in understanding them also be able to make right decisions.

Do not super impose early European attitude to gays on us else there will be fire because lurking behind this debate is a push against imperialism.

Societal values have changed, you said? So you want to suggest society has now added value to anal sex man-to-man? God who created man has remained the same, and will never change. The Earth continues to revolve round the Sun, and so do all the other planets. Homo-sapiens continue to give birth to homo sapiens and so do Cats continue to give birth to Cats. Technology, medical science, astrology and the host of the disciplines have all greatly advanced, but all the planets continue to revolve around the Sun. The spermatozoa of Man fertilizes the eggs of women to continue procreation. If you want to do something different from the NORM and you are actually sure it is ok with you, go ahead but mind you, the consequences are squarely yours to bear. God cannot be mocked.

Yes I agree with you that God cannot be mocked. At the same time though if we sya that the Bible is his word then we have to seek guidance about how he wants us to do somethings
This is someones interpretation of the Book of Proverbs. Think about these and see how you relate to them.

A Pastor Tim Henry's views on Yahoos Contributor network are that we should use our Brain, That's Why God Gave it to us. Preaching a Sermon Based on Proverbs Chapter One these some of the things he said

.."There are those who would say the book of Proverbs and the advice given in it is old fashioned and not politically correct.There are others who would respond, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.And yet others who would state, this is word of God. Who am I to question the word of God?

Proverbs is a collection of sayings, primarily about wisdom. Man's wisdom and God's wisdom. Who's wisdom to do you trust more?[Bible Quotes are From The NLT - New Living Translation]

1 These are the proverbs of Solomon, David's son, king of Israel. 2 Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise.
3 Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair. 4 These proverbs will give insight to the simple, knowledge and discernment to the young. 5 Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. Let those with understanding receive guidance 6 by exploring the meaning in these proverbs and parables, the words of the wise and their riddles.
7 Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
Long and the short of it; this is the stuff that works.
Verse seven makes it clear, our relationship with the Lord is the way to salvation.Faith in Him, trust in Him, and a powerful sense of awe of who he is, what he is and has done for us, and what has been promised through Jesus Christ, is the key to life everlasting.Not knowledge. Not wisdom. Not discipline.

But ... God put a brain in our heads for a reason. So we can think, and learn, and teach. So we can understand and do what is right, just and fair. So we can have insight and discernment. So our lives will be ordered, productive and we can sometimes make wise choices.

Solomon was known for his wisdom, after all, it was his trademark. His calling card; The Wisdom of Solomon.
God was very pleased with Solomon for asking for it as we read from 1 Kings Chapter 3.5b God said, "What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!"
[Solomon replied] 9 Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?"
10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom. 11 So God replied, "Because you have asked for wisdom in governing my people with justice and have not asked for a long life or wealth or the death of your enemies-12 I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have!
These first few verses of Proverbs instruct us not to put wisdom before God because that would be a dreadful mistake. But only fool ignores it. It is a gift FROM God if we ask for it. Why would God give us the ability to acquire knowledge and wisdom if we are to disregard it?...

You should check your history. Galileo was nearly excommunicated by Catholic church for saying that the earth goes round the sun. So things have changed. It is not homosexuality that is the colonial import, it's the laws against it, made by 19th century Europeans desperate to find another excuse for persecuting people, because that's what they enjoy doing. Before that, nobody cared; let's get back to that, and make Ghana into a forward-looking country, leading all Africa.

And thats a fact, the catholic church did a good number on Ghana, by setting up lots of BOYS SCHOOLS (boarding schools) that became BREEDING GROUNDS FOR HOMOSEXUALITY.

Today we have MEN and WOMEN who are MARRIED and secretly fostering the habit or urge they cultivated while attending these all boys schools or all girls schools.

Pin, has tried it before yet he says GREAT FELLOW.

ANGEL has a SUPI so she wants people to stop this homo issue.

Nicholas Bedzo is a catholic and sleeps with the priest.

Ghanaman is bisexual, who cares??

4year old, is just revealing to us that he has known his sexuality for 4yrs now.

Pancho secretly admires BraveBoy.

Ghanaweb your headline is clearly misguiding. Mr. Amekudzi explains why the law forbids same-sex marriages, but just because this is legal does not connote homosexuality is illegal. The vast majority of countries members of the EU have NOT legalised same-sex marriages, but all members have legalised homosexuality.

Sorry, XIV=14 AND XVI=16. Benedict XIV died in 1758, long before Lawyer Amicus' great grandfather was born, so he could not have written to him. X+I+V = X+V+I =16., but XIV is not equal to XVI.

Does the Ghanaian law also forbid corruption,bribery and extortion among others,and why is Amekudzi not waging a war against it?.

Ghana's law also forbids corruption, yet it is all over place. What has he done about that? Ghana has bigger problems than homosexuality.

Is it right to fuck a woman with your tong?Is it right to fuck a woman's anus?Is it right to masterbate?If we have no answers to any of these we better shut up because that is what is going on all over the place in quiete.Please nobody has the right to judge his fellow human.Judgement is with God.We have no right to discriminate against any human by the colour of their skin,gender,height,size,religion,intellect,disability/sickness,homo or hetro,bi or trans sexual.I am not gay or none of the above but I have no right to judge any human.Every human has the right to persue happiness and if that is what will make them happy so be it.So if one day your brother or sister comes home to tell you that he or she uses his tongue are you going to kill him?If he says he fucks women anus are you going to kill him?Just think through this and be the judge.Thank you.
