The bible, however, says nothing at all about female homosexuality or women lying with womankind as with mankind, given that the bible specifically deals with other aspects of female sexuality such as bestiality and adultery, including adultery by ALL remarried divorcees (Leviticus 18 & 20). Romans 1:26-27 is obviously about anal sex of women and men which Paul described as "vile" and "unseemly", and described in Leviticus 18 & 20 as disgusting.
Jesus, however, said nothing at all about homosexuality although he condemned all remarried divorcees to hell unless they remain celibate and repent their adulterous marriages and/or cut off their members and throw them away (Mark 10:11-12 Matt 5:27-30).
the largest percentage of those are found in the bible belt. that is also and unfortunately most of your fundamentalist, evangelical christians too.
the bible doesn't say jesus is God Most High. Just says he's a god like all others. Jesus said you are all gods and quoted from psalms when a group of people threatened to stone him. to be one with god is like being a corpuscle in the body. you're just one of many. or like being an ocean in a drop. yeah you got all the aspects but you ain't the almighty ocean.
the sabbath was made for man and not man for the sabbath. so no he didn't follow the absolute letter of the law because the law isn't that stringent. to love isn't that complicated. i require mercy and not sacrifice. but because of "your" father, you want sacrifice
Nonsense. Jesus didn't claim to be a god or even to be without sin (Mark 10:18), given that he even broke the ten commandments (Ex 20:8-12) by working on the Sabbath and dishonouring his parents. He only claimed to be a prophet even though his mother and his family didn't believe him (Matt 13:55-8 John 7:15) and presumably why he ignored them (Matt 12:46-50). And Jesus unsuccessfully appealed for help from a god when he was being executed for sedition by the Romans and was mocked as "The King of the Jews", which is hardly a god-like trait.
That's just a silly obfuscation that wouldn't even convince my cat, and doesn't change the fact that the bible says nothing about female homosexuality since they do not have anal sex as described in Romans 1:26-27 for heterosexual women and as described in Leviticus 18 & 20.
Is that why he loved one of his disciples instead of cleaving to a woman and why many celibate clergy are homosexuals, given that Jesus was over 30 years old before he decided to change his occupation and lifestyle from being a carpenter?
So how on Earth can remarried divorcees repent for their adulterous marriages unless they remain celibate and/or cut off their members and throw them away (Matt 5:27-30)? Or is that just wishful thinking, given that adultery by ALL remarried divorcees is one of the ten commandments whereas anal sex is only a minor commandment, even though biblical morality (including the ten commandments) is obviously just man-made and changes as society changes, which is why it wasn't morally wrong for Abraham to have a sexual relationship with his sister Sarah and commit adultery with Hagar, or for Abraham to kill his son as a blood sacrifice, or for Cain(an) to kill his brother Abel or for Noah's father to kill a young man who injured him (Gen 4) given that the ten commandments etc did not apply to them. Nor did it apply to Lot when he sexually assaulted his daughters after he mocked his sons-in-law and tried to pimp their future wives when they wanted "to know" what the two blokes were up to in Lot's house (Gen 19).
So what did Paul describe as "vile" and "unseemly" if you believe that he wasn't referring to anal sex of women and men and that anal sex is the "natural use of the woman"? Do you think that Paul was referring to men playing tiddly winks or were the men and women piggy-backing each other, given that eating pigs is disgusting (Lev 11), like "men lying with mankind as with womankind" (Lev 18 & 20)?
this person didn't exist prior to his birth. a spirit does but then so does yours and so does mine.
That's just words in a book. But do you have any unequivocal evidence to support your claim, since none of that changes the fact that Jesus didn't claim to be a god or to be without sin (Mark 10:18), nor that his mother and his family didn't believe that he was a prophet either (Matt 13:55-58 John 7:5).
So why didn't Abraham's god give Abraham or his ancestors the ten commandments etc instead of to Moses from a talking bush? Or are the ten commandments etc just man-made given that it wasn't morally wrong for Abraham to have a sexual relationship with his sister Sarah and commit adultery with Hagar, or for Abraham to kill his son as a blood sacrifice or for Cain(an) to kill his brother Abel?
Only in your dreams!!! Where do the gospels say anything about homosexuality and why Jesus loved one of his disciples instead of cleaving to a wife?
Anything Paul wrote is irrelevant since he never even met Jesus. And it still doesn't change the fact that the bible says nothing about female homosexuals anyway, since they do not have anal sex which was described for heterosexual women as "vile" and "unseemly" (Romans 1:26-27).
