Sure he did. It's recorded in the Bible. Just crack it open and you can read it.
God also said you should treat your slaves well. Some would say God advocated slavery by that. Others would say that is a misinterpretation of what "slave" meant in biblical times. One could also claim the same for homosexuality as God was against lust which could be defined as sex without a giving commitment. Whether that be homo or hetero.

Context is everything. Those were commands given to Israel under the Mosaic Covenant. It was a different time, in a different culture.

Not really....there is really just no way the Bible says anything close to that. I guess you COULD say it...but you might as well just not read it at all.

Actually I have read the bible and taken it to heart. Especially the new testament. The bible often instructs against lust. The commandments specifically refernce that. I hold no ill will toward ny neighbor. My neighbor's sexual preference in no way impingese on my belief. Nor do I presume God's will or love conferred on others so I do not question my neighbors relationship with God. It is one thing to evangelize and another to impose laws on others.
There are MANY christian religions and all do not agree on all aspects or interpretations of the bible. Are you advocating that one of this many should be accepted as the truth for humanity and hat we should establish a theocracy under that "one" interpritation?

Sorry but you can't spin those. It is pretty damn clear what they are saying. How do you pull out of context you should not lay with a man as you would with a woman? Pretty plain to me.
Gee, because the preceding verse makes an abrupt switch from discussing forbidden sexual practices to child sacrifice in the pagan temples of the god Molech. Why on earth would they stop talking about sex practices, discuss child sacrifice, and then mention the anti-gay verse? Context is lost on you clearly.
You still didn't answer me about how a man has sex with a man as he would a woman. Men don't have vaginas. You're completely dodging the obvious to justify your hate. But frankly, your ignorance is not worth my time. You are clueless as to what the Bible is talk about, but feel free to keep worshipping a butcher English translation of the Bible.
