Especially the one where a poster says this:



Then gets the story of the woman caught in adultery (John 8:3) completely wrong. Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute and the story was not about her. It wasn't even about a prostitute. That's the problem with people who use the Bible to condemn others, but don't read the Bible- just watch movies like the Passion of the Christ and make it up as they go along.
You know that how? While the text isn't clear on her being a prostitute, it is clear that she had some history.

In any event, her making the assumption regarding Mary's profession certainly doesn't invalidate the message.

What did you not understand about the fact that the story of the woman caught in adultery was not about Mary Magdalene anyway? Or a prostitute? The poster got the story completely wrong while arrogantly claiming that other people change the "Word of God" to suit themselves.

It also shows that people who use the Bible to condemn others often don't even know what's written in the Bible. As does this whole thread.

Put up or shut up!
I challenge you to provide any scripture that even mentions gay or lesbian people at all. You appear to be confusing a couple of references to ritual vaginal and anal sex practices used in worshipping pagan fertility gods, pagan temple prostitution, and male rape of strangers (something that is most often committed by heterosexual men) with gay and lesbian people. It's a common misconception with people who don't know much about the Biblical texts or the cultures in which they were written. And who don't know much about gay and lesbian people.

Meanwhile, I could show you scripture that condones (or sometimes even commands) the kidnapping and rape of young virgin girls, mass murder, the stoning to death of disobedient children, men having multiple wives and concubines, slavery etc. Do you have any problem with these practices? Or is it only the loving committed relationships of gay and lesbian people you have a problem with?

I have shown that and your wrong about those verses I posted that did not deal with temple prostitutes. Just because one time something is talked about you cannot claim that when something else is talked about it must be the other. That is foolishness. I have proved the scripture condemns it. You cannot provide one scripture to support it. Now can you?

Point proven! Case closed! Your exposed!

Thank you for playing.

Anybody? Can you provide any scripture what this sin you claim God makes people do is approved? If you cant then you must stop blaming God for your sin.

Any of you up to the challenge? I dare you! come on don't be a wimp! Prove me wrong with your pro homo verse. Just one.

Jaymax,you are up against the masters of what sin is and isn't, who is a sinner and who isn't. They have spent a life time dwelling upon these 2 issues,we are what we continually dwell upon(so no prizes for guessing who the sinners are)So is it any wonder the love of God,the over abounding grace of God and the richness of his mercy goes right over their heads.

No...it really isn't. She is not the woman at the well-- nor have I suggested it.

Jesus cast 7 demons out of her (Luke 8). It is largely assumed that she was the woman in Luke 7:37-50, but the scripture doesn't say it outright.

We all know the Levitical text, as well as Romans 1, but you will outright disregard them.
