They think God created Adam and Steve instead of Adam and Eve. They also think that the rectum, which is an organ of foul smelling body waste elimination is a copulatory one. They also believe that nothing can be biblically inferred if it goes against their sexual preferences. In short, they are rewriting the Bible and demanding that we accept their twisted interpretations while cunningly complaining that they are being treated unjustly when told what the Bible plainly says. They have even gone so far as to say that Jesus himself was a homosexual.


BTW
Funny but I don't see homosexuals attempting to mess with the Koran or their prophet Mohammed that way. Maybe because the Moslem believer tends to react a bit severely.

This post is a good example of what the thread title is pointing out.

Many are pointing out the greater evidence that they have not.

But, just in case they have, you had better get your own crap together because right now your not gettin in.
Kinda empty threats don't ya think .... since there is no concept of "not getting in" in your make believe land.

This isn't about what I believe. Hold yourself to your own system of belief for a change.

Still can't answer the questions.

Why are you and others so focused on one thing and not the others...
Why are you ignoring what else it has to say?

Do you wear clothes with two fabrics? Do you shave?

Do you think that you should burn to death someone?
Or stone someone?
Does that sound like something that would come out of the mouth of God who says that He *IS* LOVE??

Rightly divide the word of TRUTH.
Jesus said "You have heard it said...

BUT....

I SAY..."

for a reason.

One aspect of this is primarily about hypocrisy, Christianity doesn't want homosexuals in positions of leadership, but men who shave is no big deal even though the context they place the scrioptures is would seem to indicate that there are plenty of ministers who shave and that would indicate an intentional disrespect for Gods word, in that context.

We also know what Jesus said about hypocrisy.


This is a primary indication that the context and understanding on this matter is inherantly flawed in the traditional theology that Christians are taught.

No, no... I majored in writing, so I can read quite well, thank you. I'm quite capable of reading the story and seeing that it has nothing to do with homosexuality.

And if God met the two of us today, I'd much rather be in my shoes than yours.

You're not asking questions ... you're throwing out accusations.

Sounds like you have the issues. I can't help it if your bubble bursts when you just can't get around to the fact that God isn't a hippie.

Actually it is just an expectation that you hold yourself to your own system of belief, if you believe a practicing homosexual will reap Gods judgment in some manner, then if you shave, you will be subject to the same.

You said I was making empty threats in my last post, but it is you who believe certain biblical threats are real and you will include homosexuality in them. So if you shave then are those threats empty coming from your system of belief or not?
