If you can't marry you can still live a godly life and obey God. You have a choice of doing it right or just abstain.
Mat 19:10-12
(10) His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
(11) But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
(12) For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
You are trying to make it seem an impossible task to avoid sin. Christ and many others lived their lives without having sex at all though symbolically He was married to ancient Israel and He had to die in order to properly symbolically marry the Church (the Resurrected Saints) in the future.
Rev 19:7-8
(7) Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
(8) And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
The problem with all these fundamentalists is that no one ever questions and condemns their sense of morality and self-righteouness. No one calls them immoral for mistreating people based on their religious prejudices and how they affect others, especially minorities they love to oppress the same way fundamentalists call others immoral.
But it seems times are changing in this respect.
By honoring the goat herders archaic writings fundamentalists have backed themselves into a corner, and will deny any new scientific evidence that doesn't jive with their Bronze Age thinking. Ignorance is the real sin.
So you don't eat bacon or crab, since you try to obey Leviticus? Do you avoid shaving or wearing clothing made of more than one type of fiber? Do go around stoning adulterers?
BTW how can you be sure that the Bible is G-d's word anyway?
Yes, I try to avoid mixed threads and my real heavy stones are in the shop right now removing all that gunk that builds up you know after a few stonings (just kidding).
No, I do not take the law into my own hands but when the Kingdom of God is set up on this earth and Christ and the Saints start to rule with a rod of iron, hopefully, adultery, homosexuality and other sins will quickly begin to disappear. However, in the Great White Throne Judgment if one does not repent of adultery, homosexuality, murder, and other sins then they will die the 2nd Death.
Rev 21:8
(8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
>How can you be sure that the Bible is G-d's word anyway?
For me, it's very simple. God called me and if I fail to obey His Word He scourges and corrects me for my disobedience.
And the Bible confirms the reason for the correction and I can see the hand of God in my life.
No one is stopping you from making your own clothing. That way, you can avoid mixing fabrics.
A sinner has no right to condemn others who sin (not that I believe my homosexuality is a sin). Listen to Jesus' TRUE message: Don't Judge.
I am not judging individuals. I am showing that God's Word condemns sins like adultery, homosexuality, etc. If one is offended at my words then they are offended at God's words.
Go read the opening post and do not attack me because I did not write them or make the decision that this is a sin. I am just the messenger so to speak. If you can't kill the message then do not stoop to trying to kill the messenger.
I have never attacked any homosexual. I even have a former boss who probably is but I have never heard him state that he is one. He calls me from time to time to do some work for him and I always treat him with respect and do the best job I can to make sure my work is correct.

If these sins are so important to you, wouldn't you be pleasing your god by telling your former boss, you suspect he is gay and regale him with the same drivel you bring to the forum each day? After all, you've appointed yourself as the messenger.

I am quite sure he already has read my blistering attacks against homosexuality,abortion,paganism,etc in the local paper.

Well, this thread is not about my personal religion, mixed fabrics or taking time to feed the hatemongers who claim they hate those who they believe without proof are hatemongers. It's like saying I hate bigots.
Well, back to the topic,
tthttf
Not quite. You started off by saying "in God's eyes". Of course we assume your talking about your god, the one in the bible. You know, El. Or is it Elohim. Or Adonis. Or Yahweh. Whatever... that guy.
Then you provided multiple long litanies of bible quotes to substantiate your point. So, your trying to validate your perspective based on those quotes.
It is perfectly correct for someone to question the legitimacy of using one quote, but are you living by other quotes that are in the same chapter or book. As such, asking questions on mixed cloth or pork or stoning kids for being recalcitrant is perfectly on topic, no matter how much YOU want to deny that.
I am quite sure he already has read my blistering attacks against homosexuality,abortion,paganism,etc in the local paper.
"Blistering attacks" but, but, but, I thought you preached out of love? I would love to read your local paper, can we read it online?
