The Bible condemns homosexuality.

[chimp3]

I don't give a shit what the Bible says.

[Godscreated]

It also condemns mixed fabric, working on the sabbath, eating shellfish, premarital sex, and masturbation.

And I bet each of these hypocrites has broken at least one each.

In the least they're a bunch of wankers.

Yes you did and wrongly might I add, in the thread "Weighting the Cherries," I explained those things because I knew you and the rest would not study the peoples and their societies of that time and the validity of those laws for the Jewish people of that time and not to the Christian.

How so, we stand before a world that disagrees with us and make no bones about what we believe.

I don't think you are a coward.

I think you are a fucking bigot.

And you blame jesus for you being that way.

How so, we stand before a world that disagrees with us and make no bones about what we believe. To hate gays and lesbians is sinful, Christ said we are to love everyone even our enemies, this is how we love Christ by loving others. We can hate the sin and are encouraged to do so, but not the sinner. Even though we drastically disagree I do not us profane and undermining language toward you, I do not even get mad at you, a difference between the atheist and Christian.

Christ loved the sinner; thus he begot children with her. Of course, however, you prefer to believe that the people who put certain books together to form the bible were correct in their actions, because leaving other books out and ignoring them was for the benefit of the Christian nation, correct? Christ, according to many books that were not included in the final cut of the bible, was human. And being human, he had sex with a woman and had children.

I can hate what anyone does, but I am not going to make stupid laws against what they are doing unless what they do actually does any harm to anyone else. Being gay does no harm to anyone. The only harm is absolutely imagined by those who dislike the act itself.

See, no profane language.

 Thank you for the clean response. Jesus never had children with anyone, it wasn't what He came to do. Being that Christ is the creator then it is His right exclusively to say what is sexually right and wrong. Because this act has been condemned from the first time it is recorded in the scripture till the end of scriptures makes it wrong always and all times, God condemns it completely. To add those other books would put contradiction into scriptures, contradictions even with the OT, so no they are not fit for the scriptures of God.

My thoughts are not going on this page, you believe what you want and then suffer the consequences. And before someone jumps to the conclusion I'm threatening Min forget it because I'm not. And why do I add this last sentence because I've been accused of threatening for less.

Oh, Noes.... Not Hellfire.

Ooh.  That would be bad.


If it existed.

[Fake Messiah]

I think we all witnessed that every Christian (and every other religious person from religion that relies on religious text) interprets their religious text how ever they see it fit what they want and regard other Christians that don't see it the way they do as being on the wrong side of Christianity. That's why you'll never find same two christians who have same definition of what soul is, heaven is, god is and so on.

Like this Muslim woman that concluded that Islam should tolerate gays and probably thinks that Muslims that think how gays should be put to death are not only wrong, but not even Muslims.

Don't forget: god hates the sight of disabled people, too.

So I left a comment:

"Hating gays is one of the few parts of the Bible that I don't ignore."

 So I guess there's that. Shit like this makes my blood boil. On top of that, they're cowards. Fuck these guys.

Oh, yeah, and when the Christian churches were burning homosexuals to death, that was "love"??
