The biblical teaching in this case was the "purity" laws mentioned. They are also the most likely cause of the prejudice against Gay sex in the Abrahamic religion.
See the current misunderstanding of what "holy" means.
But if a serious injury results, then you must require a life for a life— eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, and stripe for stripe.
Exodus 24:23-25
Quote:
If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. Just as he injured the other person, the same must be inflicted on him.…
Leviticus 24:19-20
Quote:
You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; f someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well;
Matt. 5:38-40
Jesus does more than give a better interpretation of the old authority; he relocates authority from the written text of Scripture to Himself – i.e., to God’s presence in his life, teaching, death, and resurrection. Jesus commanded followers to love and serve enemies rather than adhere to the OT law"that you may be children of your Father in heaven."(Matt.5:45
If you understood Jesus, jimmie, you would understand ALL commentary from New or Old Testaments is subject to how HE interprets them.
No, I do not have to tell you something that everyone already knows. If you don't know, or are too lazy to google, or look in the Bible what is considered sinful, then you'll have to continue with you life wondering about it. And yes, you can be gay or straight and not engage in the activities in question.
Adultery is described as sinful in the Bible. You can ask a married person if he/she engages in adultery, and if they say no, then should that mean adultery is not sinful? Obviously not. It means the person you asked it not engaging in it.
Once again proving that you are the epitome of a dodger, twister, and master of deviousness with regard to what you believe. Your assumption, as always, is that "everyone knows."
This is why no one considers any thing you post of any consequence. It has more the sound coming from a snake than an angel.

That's cool. These kinds of personal attacks are allowed here, even applauded.
It says more about you than anyone else.
If someone claims they have no idea what homosexual activity refers to, then its not me who is being dishonest. Just saying.
A description can be found in Leviticus 20:13. Very simple:
"a man lie with mankind, as with womankind"
"if a man shall join himself with a male as with a woman"
"If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman"
"a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman"
And no, it does not say "on the temple altar", or "Home Depot bathroom".
There are enough posters playing these games here, but now even the mods are into it.
Many posters have discussed different verses regarding the issue on this very thread, but you said you are not going to read the thread. Instead, you jump in to pester people to answer them again just for you.
