In Case You Need A Reason To Despise Baptist Scum-suckers

(July 1, 2016 at 6:46 am)Disciple Wrote: Ok thanks, Im not cherry-picking one over the other at all. The Old Testament isn't even a Christian book. Its a Jewish book. The bit where Jesus says he came to fulfill the law does not mean what your implying it means either. He didn't mean he came to fortify or reaffirm the law. He meant he came to satisfy the law. As in, if you fulfill your rental contract you no longer are under contract. You didn't destroy it but it still isn't there anymore. The last thing Christ said before he died on the cross was "it is finished" meaning, during his life he met all requirements to carry out what was written in the OT as concerning the law. Meaning he did not do away with the law, yet, believers are no longer under the law, but grace. That kind of also answers your last question. In add to it however, that commandment in the OT was written as inter-tribal guidelines at that point in time. It wasn't written to humanity at large much less Christians who didn't even exist at the time. Which with the combination of those two points is why those laws aren't followed by Christians.

But you are cherry picking. The prohibitions against homosexuality come in the same chapters/passages that prohibit masturbation and divorce and promote misogyny and slave holding---in the New Testament.

Do you support denying rights to people who masturbate? How about divorced people? Should women who speak up in church or earn more money than their husbands be punished? How about if a man wants to have a bonded servant in his house?

You still haven't shown how the morality of stoning gays in the OT somehow changed due to the passage of time. Was it only moral for that specific people to beat their slaves and force the women they raped to marry them?

And JFC, 'you're' is the contraction of 'you are.' I wish Jesus outlawed that shit, but noooooooooo.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
