That is for sure...Paul essentially created Christianity...
All you do is throw wild accusations and preposterous rebuttals. Theologians who are experts in ancient greek,
Aramaic, and Hebrew carefully and meticulously have studied the manuscripts and have given a clear understanding of the Scriptures. Yet you refute the basic foundations of the faith.
So tell us, what are your credentials to dispute these experts?

Yea, that's the freaks I was thinking about, those people really push the limits to free speech, I feel like going to there to slap them every time I see them.
They got their butts beat at Ft Bragg once and the cops did nothing, just turned their backs...
Dont open yourself for attack here. Lev 11 are the dietary laws most Christians ignore and Lev 23 are the biblical Feast Days that God said were his days, not the Jews, in which Christians also dont keep...Those 2 areas are the main attacks points by Hebrew Roots and Messianic against mainstream Christianity.
I keep them.. I well I celebrate Jesus celebrating them.. he reveals ithe meaning of them in his life.. so we celebrate his life by celebrating his days!
but all forms of militant sexuality produce the same reactions and conditions of the heart.
the greatest gift God gave to madkind was a mate and sex to bring the two into a complete unity / for the sake of the family unit.. but it will prove to be the biggest curse also.
because where there is real power, there will be within madkind the very real abuses of that kind of power.
This so called question encompasses bashing statements against christians. Those he requests and answer from.
Admit it, this is a thread to bash Christians. You have no interest in getting an answer
Professed Christians over and over and over have slurred and continue to slur gay people and they use the 'man lying with man' scripture of Leviticus 18:22 with which to do so. Not so much with regard to the similar Leviticus 20:13, however, since that particular text calls for the death of - the professed Christians believe - gay people. They get a tad nervous with that passage of scripture.
And, this was not a 'so-called' question ...it was a legit question asked to find out how many actually and knowingly adhere to the commands of Leviticus and the other 'law' books. You see, I'm pretty sure that NO ONE really gives a flying fig what the Old Testament has to say about most anything ...except for Leviticus 18:22, of course. That said, your average Christian would be hard pressed to even locate in the Bible where the 'man lying with man' verse is to be found. Most simply parrot what they've heard over and over and over from their church leaders.
Where in your Old Testament does it state this?...
First, it's not "my" Old Testament - There is only one and it is part of God's Word, the Bible for all. God and His truth is not determined or changed by human opinion or beliefs.
Second, God's New Testament covenant reconciled man to God by grace through Christ ... overcoming the inescapable fact that no one could keep the Commandments and law or come to God in their own righteousness. While the Old Testament contains about 300 prophecies concerning the coming of Christ the Messiah, the New Testament is the fulfillment and establishes that truth.
A few New Testament Scriptures that clarify that Salvation comes by grace through Christ, not works or law keeping include:
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
Galatians 2:21 - "I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."
Romans 8:3 - For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,
Romans 11:6 - But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.
Galatians 5:4 - You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
Acts 13:39 - and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.
Romans 3:20-30 - because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
Galatians 2:16 - nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.
Galatians 3:21 - Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.
Romans 3:20 - because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

first we condemn all forms of militant sexuality..
there is one way which God created sex for us to be in righteousness. and 99 ways which are unrighteous and it should speak volumes in that men found all 99 ways to do it wrong.. and may yet find more ways to do it wrong.
But the Lord can fix what got broken when they in all their youthful vigour seems all tried to find those 99 ways to do it wrong ..

Just shut up ... keep the bigoted malicious nonsense attacks from whatever breed of demon possessed parrot squawk in it's damned cage where it belongs.
However, as long as this forum is "about Christianity" why should there be any expectations of the bird cage door being closed.
