Well not agreeing with homosexuality is not always homophobia, but that's a different discussion.
I believe the entire bible is the word of God, but not everything applies to everyone. I am not sure how to explain all of it, but some things are metaphors, poetry and songs and some are prophecy. There are a list of rules too, but they are common sense to me.
I would hardly consider the Christian church to be fedgling, as it has grown from day one. It has grown even against threats of death, torture and ridicule. We talk abut those who have killed in the name of religion, but how many have died for their beliefs?
In his own image, may be the spirit that dwells inside us or it could mean his idea, but again I don't think we have the mindset to think like God, so some things are not always going to be known to us.
Even science has proven that you don't have to have a male and female to procreate, with frogs I believe, so why couldn't it happen to Mary. Also, God can do anyting he wants, as it's really all his plan. Plus it wouldn't be a miracle if it made since. Plus, in order for us to go to God is in spirit form after death, so if God was going to come into our world he would have to be born into flesh.
I can't explain everything and i don't claim to really know anything other than what I feel. I have faith, so thats the only way I can explain it really. I guess the main reason this thread started was to just point out to consider other peoples feelings when discussing their faith, or lack of it.
