I completely agree the blood of Jesus covers everyone, for those who willing repent with a pure heart, but what many fail to realize is that a heterosexuals can realize that sex out side of marriage (MARRIAGE DEFINED BY GOD: MAN & WOMAN) is a sin and repent of it and do the right thing and wait until they get married to have sex. Homosexuality thinks, since God makes them that way, they dont need to repent and can have all the sex outside of marriage and its okay in the eyes of God. Even with Gay Marriage, its a marriage that is unbiblical and not recognized by God as 2 men will never be able to have children, so them getting married is still sexual immorality in the eyes of God.

We need to stop redefining the bible. What if we said we dont need to repent of our sins to Jesus, we can just repent through Mary or Paul instead, many would just go along with this new form of redefined repentance and say we are repenting, even though its not how the bible says we are to repent, but in our eyes we have repented.
Are you gathering stones to take out the adulterers in your church? Or perhaps children that speak back to their parents? Or maybe some of your church brethren that don't show up on Sunday because they are working--you gonna excommunicate them. Because those 613 LAWS include those too.

No, you cherry pick the ones you wish to keep and say the rest don't apply because of a New Covenant. Except the New Covenant doesn't itself cherry-pick. In fact, James says if you hang on to any of the LAW you are judged by it. That means failure to execute those sinners is a capital crime for you.

Your main purpose on here most of the time, is to try to make Christians who follow the bible feel dumb about doing it, so you can feel better about the way you are living your life. Your posts aren't even, why do people believe what they believe, but more of an you're an idiot if you try to follow the bible.
Obviously, you're just as clueless about why I'm here as you are about the other stuff you post about.

You cannot drag an OT law about homosexuality and APPLY it to 21st century life unless you DRAG all 613 LAWS with you.


When will the evangelical-findie STOP cherry picking and accept the fact JESUS never said a word about marriage equality or homosexuals...
No need to have it documented in the Bible. All those pagan nations of that time are gone. Assyria, Bablyonians, Phoenicians, Amorites, Hittities etc... Guess who is still around? Oh yea, God's chosen people, Israel.

You can't just look at an OT law and demand that all OT laws must apply without understanding the context and purpose of the laws. Some laws were intended only for the nation of Israel. Homosexuality defiled the land. Not tattoos. That's a fact in the Bible that you can't run away from.

And you cannot demand that ONE archaic law be applied to a select group of the population ...

The law against TATTOOS is the LAW, who are you to question GOD?

I have always found the differences between those two lines quite telling and interesting myself.

Observe the second line. It directly tells you "Don't do that". It is very clear and concise. It is something you simply are not to do. It tells you what it is (sexual relations with animals) and straight out says do not do it.

Now observe the first line. Does it do the same thing? No. Not at all. It does not say not to have sexual relations with another man. It does not tell you what it is (sexual relations with another man) and then straight out tell you not to do it.

No what it does is tells you HOW not to do it. It does not say "do not do it" it says "Do not do it like that". And never in all my extensive and ongoing study of linguistics and language has "Do not do X like that" meant "Do not do X".

Also interesting that it says nothing whatsoever about female homosexuality but solely focuses on the sexuality of men.

Not that I personally read anything into this as the Bible is not an important book to me in that regard, but I do find, and always have, the linguistics of it interesting.

Default You're a "friend"? Think not.

Frankly, I don't consider people who judge their "friends" real friends. That's especially true when the negative judgments are religious bigotry.

If I were your friend, I wouldn't want you at my wedding.

How about being a real friend and leave "lifestyles" between individuals and God, and attend her wedding with your full support for her happiness.

If you have to ask, you don't have the faith to do so, and whatever is NOT of faith, is sin.

Tell that to heterosexuals if you dare . . .

Religious gobble-die-****. Move it along, next patient, please.

What? "g o o k" attached to "gobble-die" is a bad word?

Is there medication available for those who suffer delusions? I think there is but it's long term.

No, those four letters by themselves are used as a racial slur. Innocent things get caught in the same net.
