I don't find the Scriptures offensive, just those who condemn others. They believe it's about their faith and not the love of the father that saves humanity. They really do not have to love others, as their bible commands but we know they are not teaching the truth with this mentality.

The Scriptures do not teach that which you believe they do (i.e., eternal separation). And the hell doctrines that you profess or have been taught to believe is a fallacy of men that has nothing to do with GOD. No one is angry, they just do not believe the garbage you do. And you are not the one who decides that someone is not a Christian because they to not believe the things, you believe, they need to believe. Or, some unpardonable sin.
You need to read it to KNOW what the Holy Spirit IS. The detailed descriptions in the Bible and the example and demonstration by Jesus of God's True Nature are indispensable to knowing what the Comforter is guiding us to in our hearts and NOT what is from the hearts of ancient men and our animal nature that is also influencing us.

You said you are not offended by it, and I'll take your word for it.
I am glad you approve the Bible.
Some other posters have admitted being offended by it, so not everyone is in agreement with you.
It was Leviticus 18:22 which some people find offensive in regards to this topic.

Why do bible fundamentalists even have issues with anyone never mind homosexuals?.
Paul is addressing those who profess to follow the way here but have rewritten the goodwill and peace on earth towards all men message,that Jesus not only brought but was a living demonstration of it.
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, YOU ARE CONDEMNING YOURSELF, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

Would you mind explaining - in detail - what Leviticus 18:22 is addressing, Finn? I mean, what was going on at the time involving 'men lying with men' that warranted such a command being given in the first place? While I don't know what it's referring to, I believe that it would have had much to do with the pagan worship practices of the day that the Levi tribe were to avoid, just as they were to avoid child sacrifice to the idol, Molech. In fact, I really can't see any other feasible reason why such a command would have been given. Do you honestly believe that Leviticus 18:22 has anything to do with homosexual men within the tribe, Finn? I say ...nonsense!
Fess up, Finn ...you have no idea what Leviticus 18:22 is specifically addressing, do you? Nor does any other professed Christian who throws that scripture around for the sole purpose of making gay people squirm while under the pretext that they are the authority as to its meaning!
One more time for good measure ...you have NO IDEA what Leviticus 18:22 is about, do you, Finn?

Actually he is lying. I have never suggested God does not love homosexuals. God loves everyone, and wants people to come to Him and leave their sins behind. Jesus loved the prostitute just the way she was, and forgave her her sins. He added "go and sin no more". Any sin can be forgiven.
