Do you actually think that it is exactly the same as the original?


Anyways, you said that slavery 2000 years ago is not the same as modern slavery. But you somehow believe that the few cherry picked verses regarding homosexuality, that are actually mistranslated from the original language, still apply?

Pagan idol worship ceremonies, are the same as two consenting adults in the modern era.

Way to pick and choose what you believe.
And the sad thing is, the cognitive dissonance is so ridiculously strong he doesn't even realize how contradictory he is.

I still have the the Kings James.
Why am I not surprised.

Here you go: 'qadesh' = 'male temple prostitute'.

I want the gay advocates to tell me why, this asteroid should not ignore the given plans in the force's for just a moment, a fraction of a second and spin the other way...demolishing at least half this continent..?
If there were a gravitational force strong enough to knock the asteroid into our path, it would destroy all life on earth (not just a continent). But there aren't any forces to knock it into collision with us. What's your point?

Why should a species that ok's spinning the other way not also, have a setting that screws up backwards for a moment be protected and, saved from this boulder ?
Since when were humans, that possess free will, the same as planets, that follow a gravitational pull?

You may want to research this difference.
Human=organic living being with a mind.
Planet=a chunk of rock with no ability to think.

Wasnt it King James who founded the Church of England to explicitly redefine marriage to allow divorce?

Thats 10 pounds of irony in a 5 pound bag.
That was King Henry VIII.

King James I came a little later.... ironically, he had male lovers.

You really believe the entire gay population made a choice? To be oppressed; to be rejected by their families? To risk losing their jobs? To live a life in the closet, invisible. Imagine for a moment the enormous amount of emphasis that society focuses on discouraging homosexuality, yet it continues. You can choose to rationalize your bigotry anyway you want, but gay people don't choose to be gay.

Homosexual people do not choose to be gay, anymore than heterosexual people chose to be heterosexual. Get over your hate.

The KJV translators used the word 'sodomite' a number of times as a translation of the Hebrew word 'qadesh'. Qadesh actually means 'male temple prostitute'.

The history of Christianity sure is chalk full of immorality.
The one he divorced her for didn't give him a son, either, so he had her head removed.

Finally got a son with wife No. 3. Kid died not far into his reign, and Ol' Henry ended up having both of his daughters ruling England in succession.

the point is a species that wants to ok spinning the other way does not deserve a universe.....which functions in order, with order itself. Very simple.

And the bible and spiritual talk is a waste of time because..

everybody knows having a goal in decency, is required in order to qualify for any spiritual advance or participation.

A person can't say hey I'm into being indecent and its my goal, lets sing some hymns about it
