They told people to repent of their sins, and their sexual immorality and turn back to God.
Jesus said, "Turn your lives around, because God's imperial rule has come near." I'm not aware of his railing against the sins of homosexuals in that announcement.
Isaiah Chapter 1 likens the Israelites to “Sodomites” and a “brood of evildoers,” whose “hands are full of blood.”
"Sodomite" is a citizen of Sodom. The sin of Sodom was inhospitality, according to Judaic Law.
Jeremiah Chapter 2 refers to them as “a wild donkey in heat.” Other prophets call them “adulteresses” and liken their behavior to prostitutes. So vivid were the descriptions of the abominations of the Israelites that the Bible records God himself bringing judgment upon judgment upon them, so that even their children were dashed against the rocks.
Nothing in the bible rails against homosexuality. There are injunctions against homosexual acts of some sort, but there are cultural reasons for those injunctions.
No wonder you despise Bible believers. You're trying to legitimize sin
I'm a bible believer. My family and most of my friends are bible believers. I don't despise bible believers. I call out those who mistreat the texts by reading them literalistically, then twisting them to their own political ends. Those people say they're bible believers, but I have trouble reconciling how they can mistreat the bible so and then say they believe in it.
I'm not legitimizing sin. The sin is in condemning people for being who they are, and I've spoken out against that.
you get hostile and get yourself in an uproar when anyone challenges that from a Biblical standpoint.
Huh. You have yet to challenge anything I've said from a biblical standpoint. And I'm not hostile. I've not called anyone a derogatory name. I've not threatened anyone. I've called out inequitable behavior. If you think that's "hostile," perhaps you should go back to the kiddie pool.
That's why you get blow back from conservatives, because IMO your theology is of the devil himself.
I get blowback from conservatives for calling out their behavior toward others. Your opinion of my theology is neither asked for, nor important.
