God and homosexuality.

So, He must like strict and monogamous female homosexuality instead, right?

Which would entail He does not dislike homosexuality, per se.

Imo, God really does not care of human sexual orientation unless it interferes with positive changes of consciousness.

So, strict female homosexuality is ok?

If not, why not? Because it interferes with positive changes of consciousness, whatever that means? :)

But then why mention AIDS, if it is all about positive changes of consciousness?

Or isn’t that maybe better to rethink your Biblical Scholarship (and things with the same acronym) that led you to explain why God dislikes Homosexuality?

Their paper does not say what you are saying. It does not say that 'Israel' translates to 'He who sees God'. Its saying Israel is one who sees God, but its not calling that the translation. The translation remains 'He wrestles with god' or something like that. The 1917 Jewish Enclyclopedia online for free says it translates to "he overpowered Elohim." JACOB - JewishEncyclopedia.com
It all fits what Nachmanides said about gates of understanding of the Bible. I agree with Philo. Imo, 'Israel' implies clairvoyance of Abraham not only physical descent from Jacob. Clairvoyance, genetic ability of Abraham is what God wanted to genetically preserve.

Oh no.

See, everything that they like and agree with, God created.

Everything they don't like was created by the Devil or by sin.

See? Simple!
I see this as people creating God in their own image.
I see it all the time.

Angry judgemental people create an angry judgemental God. Hippy dippy people create a "Peace and Love" God.
And there's the flip side to this process. People taught that God is angry and judgemental will tend the become angry and judgemental. People taught about a hippy dippy God of Love will tend to be more "Peace and Love" type people.

There are means of controlling the infection today. And there are many ways to get HIV. I'm sure you understand this, but conveniently ignore this so that you can pass all the blame on gays and feel justified in doing it.



Then you accept no scientific paper. You depend on journalists who use that definite language; so you depend on the wrong source for your information.
Whole idea of my OP was that it is not about "today".

Ask God, I just posted my view of this issue, God cares of our good consciousness.

Well, you said God dislikes homosexuality because of HIV and such.

Did you ask Him to find that out?

One of your personal relationships, right? :)

No, I gave examples of gay related problems (today) and why God did not want Sons of Israel anywhere near those problems when the law was given.

That does not answer my question. Is God fine with female homosexuality?

If not, why not?

And what do you mean? Was there HIV at the time of Moses?

This between your consciousness and God only, I have now answer on this, just my opinion I already stated
