Which God is your authority and how do you know his name?
What authoritative source was used to derive his name?
What authoritative source are you using to determine this GOD is your authority?

Answer to a page of vicious lies and half truth by so-called: everything you claim as endemic to "gays" is actually attributable to profligacy, a problem shared by heterosexuals. The only valid question here concerns committed relationships.

As I wrote many weeks ago.... For some, sex is a religion. They lie and even risk eternal damnation over it.
Not kind of god you want to follow. You may want yo think and contemplate about your decision
At a time in the not too distant past, people sincerely cited Bible verses to justify slavery and racial discrimination [remember Loving v. Virginia?]. Now, sincere Christians tell us that Biblical slavery wasn't really like the slavery that was in America a couple of hundred years ago (even though we all know it really was ).
At some point in the future, sincere Christians will realize that the "gotcha" verse in Deuteronomy really was about pagan temple practices and wasn't about anything like a long term committed relationship. Then they will remind us that there was no such thing as a committed same sex relationship in Biblical times.
(They'll probably tell us they have good friends that are gay, too. )
People on this site used the Bible to promote their ideology. People don’t change, culture does. Man is a sinful greedy creature. That is why the Lord and His wisdom had His Word written down. The Truth is in the Scriptures.
As far as slavery, it was the Church that got slavery outlawed.

And, 'the truth' is . . . . . .?

Near where I grew up in northern New Jersey, there is a 200+year-old church, still active, but which has a museum with a lot of the area history starting from the time the Dutch settlers built it.
In the 1850s, the congregation was so split over slavery that the minister quit.

Interesting. Do you recall which side the minister favoured?
