Ah ha!
And so.......
You believe that much of the bible is stupidity, but you have a way of sifting through all, recognising the junk, but selecting out God's truth..... Have I got that right?
God's truth, what the heck is that supposed to be?

Perhaps if God sent a more credible messenger than you are more people would believe what you believe.

I ignore stupidity, which is what much of the Bible consists of.
Perhaps if the Devil didn't have you so deluded you'd believe the messenger.
So all those gay Christians who read their Bibles are engaging in stupidity, right? That's your claim.
I am glad you agree that there are gay Christians, who have a right to be gay.So all those gay Christians who read their Bibles are engaging in stupidity, right? That's your claim.
I am unsurprised that you think that the problem is everyone but you.

This is what I'd call(being charitable) "Third grade theology"."everyone"?? No, YOU. You and your third grade theology - that's the problem.
Perhaps if the Devil didn't have you so deluded you'd believe the messenger.

I went to 12 years of Christian school where religion was a core requirement. No, the problem isn't me or the Devil.

GARBAGE, GARBAGE, GARBAGE!!!!!!!Then you know gay sex is a sin, right? And it needs to be repented of?
Don't get angry. He is really not worth it. I don't think he even realizes how evil and incompetent he paints his version of GodGARBAGE, GARBAGE, GARBAGE!!!!!!!
Probably not. If god exists maybe it has a special bonfire reserved for him.Don't get angry. He is really not worth it. I don't think he even realizes how evil and incompetent he paints his version of God
Get real. The godless left has reduced human sexuality to a vacuous grotesquery, pregnancy to a disease and babies to parasites . . . all the while sexualizing innocence, undermining parental consent and authority, and assailing the institutions of marriage and family. Cultural Marxism in general, feminism, homosexuality, transexualism: it's all a parade of godless chaos, infanticide, nihilism, depravity, perversion, narcissism, sociopathy . . . the death knell of Western civilization. There's not an ounce of love in any of it.
The religious mindset of putting virginity on a pedestal and then squeezing all the fun out of sexuality until it becomes just an act to make babies that is secreted away to the bedroo..and rarely discussed has led to ignorance, the spreading of diseases, life-threatening methods of amateur abortions, pedophilia being ignored, violence against homosexuals, violence against women, and a host of mental illnesses from repressing the sexual instinct.
My wife's and my rule of thumb on this was when they ask the right questions they get the right answers. Our oldest daughter was 4, our youngest daughter was 6, and our son was 7.I believe parents should discuss with their children all aspects of sex in an age appropriate way as soon as they start to ask questions. We did this with ours, no subject was taboo.
GARBAGE, GARBAGE, GARBAGE!!!!!!!
My wife's and my rule of thumb on this was when they ask the right questions they get the right answers. Our oldest daughter was 4, our youngest daughter was 6, and our son was 7.
Also, we agreed that whoever got the question had to answer it, and it ended up with me in all three cases.
No, you are busted. Why would you declare your God to be evil and incompetent?The garbage is yours.
Let's look at the Scriptures and see what you're trying to sweep under the rug in order to try to justify illicit gay sex sin:
Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."
Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
Romans 1:26-27 - "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
1 Timothy 1:8-10 - “But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine…”
Jude 7 – “In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.”
There's no gay marriages in the Old Testament; No gay marriages in the New Testament; no gay sex approved anywhere in the Bible. Just the opposite - gay sex is condemned in both testaments. God is consistent on that.
And to close:
Dr. Bruce Metzger of Princeton Theological Seminary mentions other references to Sodom's sexual immorality in 3 Maccabees 2:5: "the people of Sodom who acted arrogantly, who were notorious for their vices." And again in Jubilees 16:6: "the uncleanness of the Sodomites."
“Whosoever shall be guilty of Rape, Polygamy, or Sodomy with man or woman shall be punished, if a man, by castration, if a woman, by cutting thro' the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch diameter at the least.” - Thomas Jefferson
Amendment VIII: Thomas Jefferson, A Bill for Proportioning Crimes and Punishments
You're busted!
No.Then you know gay sex is a sin, right? And it needs to be repented of?
I'll stick with what the God-inspired Bible says.No.
I realized that the Bible was invented by humans. Humans with primitive ethics and science and such.
Nothing to do with God.
God doesn't care about homosexuality. You might, but you aren't God.
Tom
What makes you think that the Bible is "God-inspired"? It does not even make that claim. At best it only says that "scripture" which is largely undefined, is "God-inspired" and that is just a claim of the Bible. If Harry Potter claimed that it was "God-inspired" would that make it true?I'll stick with what the God-inspired Bible says.
