Sorry. I don't know the Bible as well as I should. Is this Old Testament or New Testament? Before Jesus died on the cross for our sins or after?

Why is he offering his daughter and a concubine to homosexuals? If the men outside the door were gay, why would they take the girl and the concubine over the man?

The verse is about the ritual defiling of men by heterosexual men as an act of dominance. It was common practice. It's not about homosexuals. You are driving your daughter away from you because you do not understand your own Bible. You are relying on what your evangelical preacher is telling you instead of bothering to find out what scholars, who have spent a life-time studying the Bible, are telling you. On your own head be it.

Can you show me the verse that specifically says it was burned to the ground because of it's homosexual practices.

In doing so, we would have to "break it down", so to speak, but I figure that would not fly over here and would be seen as an attack on Christianity - OR would be an attack on ignorance?

This, to me, would be akin to someone using some obscure verse to back up a claim why their white/black son/daughter should not be with someone of another race and then asking folks to PRAY that they wise up and return to their "own kind."

My opinion? You leave the poster alone since you can't grant her request. As for her daughter? She probably doesn't need your help from her. She is probably seeking out her own friends and her own support group, so your help probably isn't required. Maybe someone who is closer to the OP's beliefs MIGHT be able to convince her to pray for God's Will. Or maybe convince her that if she maintains a relationship with her daughter, they wold both be better off...

Just my opinion, since you put the question out there.

At that time they did not have temples, or temple prostitutes. Also, Leviticus did not use the word "homosexual". It simply says "if a man lies with a man like you lie with a woman". It doesn't get any clearer than that.

No dude, we are talking about the days when male rape as an act of dominance was commonplace. The men outside Lot's door were not homosexuals they were heterosexuals (evident from Lot offering his daughters to them). They were indulging in the act of ritual subjugation.

It is the misunderstanding of the verses you quote that causes the problems that the OP is experiencing now.
They were not interested in the daughters, they were interested in the MEN.

How does one repent from a sexual orientation one is born with??? It's not like changing your hair color, which can be died and changed. I don't remember ever making a choice to be heterosexual...that's just what I am. Do you honestly think a lesbian chooses to be lesbain???

I sincerely want to know what you think the answer to this question is.

I will pray for the acts of "giving" and "receiving" as both require open hands through a heart of love, not
judgmentalism; thinking we are morally superior, when it comes to right or wrong behaviors and attitudes.

Peace, be with you.

Not at the time of Moses (Leviticus). They were wandering around the desert living in tents at that time.

Oh really? You know all those junk books and junk gods you said you've studied...none of it did you any good.

Not only is a man having sex with another man, or a woman having sex with another woman abomination, but it is placed in the same catagory as beastiality...that's pretty sick...it goes against everything held sacred...God did not create His creation like this, He is not a God of confusion, it's abomination...an abhorance...God detests it...God loathes it.

Leviticus 18:

22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.


18:25 I visit - I am about to visit, that is, to punish.

I'm not a dude. I am a woman.

Again...Really...?

Genesis 19:

5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them (KNOW - MEANS HAVE SEX WITH THEM!).

6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

19:8 This offer from Lot, of his two daughters was just WRONG!!!...BOTH WERE SINS! of which neither should have been a choice!!!

9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
10 But the men (THE TWO ANGELS OF GOD!!!) put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.

19:11 The two angels smote those wicked men wih blindness! and that ended their attempt to sodomize Lot's guests!...thus sealing their burning up the next day!

12 And the men (THE TWO ANGELS OF GOD) said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. 19:13 We will destroy this place - The holy angels are ministers of God's wrath for the destruction of sinners, as well as of his mercy for the preservation and deliverance of his people.

What is very, very sad Rafius is, No, it is beyond your own ABILITY to comprehend the Truth of God's Holy Word. Why?...because the Spirit of Truth you do not have...The Spirit of Knowledge in God's Word you do not have...The Spirit of Wisdom to live in the will of God for your life, you do not have...and that is the truth I am very sorry to say. God's Word can ony be understood and lived out if only by the Spirit...and that Rafius, you do not have. Even if you did read every word of Scripture a thousand times, you would not understand, NOR WOULD YOU LIVE IN, the Truth of it.

..and I noticed that you didn't comment on the rest of these verses, but I do not want you to, because again, you do not know the meaning of them....you will only reject them and call them lies because you do not believe in God's word.

Look what God did! God sent jugement 65,100 men were killed, (40,000 Israelites and 25,100 Benjamites).

The town was burned to the ground for its homosexual practices. We in America are worse then Sodom and Gomorrah, and Gibeah. We have become desensitized to evil!

Homosexuality and Lesbianism are wrong, read the New Testement and see how it will be before the Lord returns. God will turn people over to reprobate minds, and they will believe a lie.

That's all I wish to say right now. The only thing I wanted was prayer for my daughter, not to have to say what is right and what is wrong.

One year ago my daughter started living with a 18 yr old woman. She is a lesbian now and she wants me to condone her relationship with this other woman. I will not condone it and say it's right when I know that it's a abomination to God. He destroyed Sodom and Gommorah because of this ugly sin and life style. I have tried to reason with her and tell her it's wrong but still love her, but she has pulled herself away from me and now is seeing a phychologist. The phychologist must be telling her that she is ok living this kind of life style and that she should be proud and go on with her life. My daughter was brought up in a Godly family and knows the word of God, when she served the Lord she served and loves him with all her heart, but when she isn't serving God she is serving the devil with all her heart. God has always had a plan for her but the devil always has tried to destroy her and I have been through many trials and battles with her, because she has been a drug addict and a was a heavy user of liquor, but the drugs was one of the worst things that ruined her life until this latest episode with her being a lesbian. She has recently been diagnosed with Lupus, she has been on Social Security disability for about 8 years now. I am 61 and raising a 16 yr old and that in itself is a job in itself. I need people to agree with me that the Good Lord will intervene and do what ever it takes to get her out of this life style. I have found out that she has had other Lesbian relationships in the past. It seems to me that the Lord has given her over to a reprobate mind when it comes to this lesbian problem. She has disowned me and doesn't want me to see my Grandchildren. Please help me pray for her. God bless and thank you my brothers and sisters.
