Why would you believe David even existed?

No answer? Ok.....

Its funny how you reject the OT, but choose to believe the story about David, because someone told you there is a gay twist in it.

Not as funny as you ignoring the bits of the bible you find distasteful.

I believe you and many people who use the bible to condemn people who are gay, believe that David existed. And no one had to tell me anything about David and Jonathan's affair ... I can read.

I condemn no one. Of course I believe he existed, but why would YOU believe it? Apparently you can read things which are not even written. Is this one of those things the "spirit" whispered into your ear? "Pssst..... David was gay, just FYI"

I think we are learning a new universalist teaching: You must love your neighbor, and if that neighbor is same sex as you, then you are gay.

When I was a child I used to open the Bible at any page and read it for the message. This was my form of Bible study. I remember opening to that about Sodom and Gomorrah. I was shocked and sickened by what they did there. I had no idea that such behavior existed. That feeling has remained with me for the rest of my life.

Interesting. You appear to be somewhat on the delicate side. I've read lots of scripture about Sodom and Gomorrah but I've yet to read about anything specific 'that they did there' that would 'shock and sicken' anyone.

Tell me, what DID the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah do that was worthy of an 'all-loving God' having destroyed the cities, killing everyone - including women, children, babies and animals?

NOTHING the residents of S&G did could match the mass slaughter committed by God of an entire population of hundreds (maybe thousands?) of living beings, apart from Lot and his wayward daughters. Since you seem to be so ultra-sensitive, are you not shocked and sickened and left somewhat mentally scarred for life by the actions of such a God, or does He pass muster on this one?
