No because homosexuals “deserve to be put to death”.
If you researched long enough you’d see which scripture.
I wont find it because I tier of the bible.
Maybe somewhere in “Romans”?
Here is what happened:
Bible writers imagined what a “perfect” man/woman should be like. [God tells women to be “in subjection to their husbands”, for example, because that’s what the male writers thought would be perfect].
Sexual rolls and acts were added to the “perfection” mold.
Christian fundamentals are firm idealisms made of dreams instead of realities. It’s all about what they think is perfect/true, and it’s not about what actually is true/“perfect”. Too subjective.

For a time left handed Isrealite soliders existed. This was a battle advantage, in that the enemies were only trianed to fight right handed enemies. The process and area of Isreal listed–I forget the exact details. Again, anyone could find it with enough searching, but YOU are not my problem. The claim about left handed people not being able to be Christians is fake.

Now, the pedistile:
(* Dan places cherry on cake *)
Allot of the bible’s claims about god and truth are fake, twisted or incomplete also.
So now we have a religious time-wasting contest on our hands, unless we walk away.
So, you don't know anything about the Bible, but you're sure it must say whatever words you want to put in it's 'mouth' to shore up your argument? Here's the real scoop- you'd have to ask Orthodox Jews why they don't put people to death for all sorts of things like homosexuality and so on, because it's the Old Testament that advocates it. Now, a homosexual isn't any more 'worthy' of the life they've been given than the rest of us, but, Jesus talk a message of forgiveness, he preached against things like stoning, with a strict underscore that the Law hadn't changed- a person in the proper relationship with Christ would seek to change their own lives (repentence).
The answer is this: A person who is tempted by homosexuality can be a successful Christian, just as a person who is tempted to steal can be a sucessful Christian. All Christians still sin from time to time, from what I understand, so they may even give into these temptations now and again. The idea, though, is that they recognize them for the sins they are. It would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for someone who considers homosexuality to be their ongoing 'lifestyle' and a key part of who they are, to be a good Christian. Now, if they've been bamboozled, and they honestly think there's nothing wrong with what they are doing, that's just a question of God's mercy.
So, before all this was written down in the Bible, men and woman just sort of stood around not knowing what to do with each other, and not having any sense of what a ‘proper’ relationship between a man and a woman was? Are you really going to put forward the idea that Bible writers invented the idea of wives in a subservient role to their husbands?
As far as left handedness goes, it’s been so long since any Christian (if ever) said that left-handed people couldn’t be Christians that I don’t see what the reason is in addressing the position. Is there anything in the Bible that condemns left handedness?
But are you willing to give up a part of yourself that makes you who “you” are to be what everyone else wants, says, believs, or thinks you should be, Whether it comes from God, man, the Devil or whoever?..Or not?
And I apologize for the shortness of the last post to you I was…Distracted And ment to say somthing different but was unable to return to edit the post.
Read Romans chapter one.
Verses 26 through to verse 32.
( Romans 1:26 to 32 )
You can read that, & then come back n tell me what it says.
I didn’t “put words into its mouth”.
‘Sins’ that ‘deserve death’ sentance are ‘hated by God’. This includes homosexuality, even if the case was an inborn genetic ‘disorder’.
“I can do whatever I want and still be forgiven by God” [because I said sorry and I believe in Jesus] attitudes are not uncommon. It would take a long time to disprove how biblical this is, but many un-scriptural things are very popular and “orthadox” today.
None of that is my problem, though, seeing as God [YHWH] doesn’t have even half as much power as he claimed to have, and he cannot do much [cannot save lives, for example].
Feeling strong sexual attraction to the same-sex is not really optional though, and it’d be a life-long stress for many. I suppose it’d be possible to supress it, though. You’re right about what you say when talking about ‘forgiveness’ in this way, because it has to do with effort and eventual changes.
Actually it’s also a question of God’s retarded and failed attempt and creating DNA, because homosexuality is often [not always] genetic, and it’s God’s fault that we have our genes and bodies here today. [According to God’s lies, anyway, but God didn’t really “create” us].
That’s not what I said. I said that they wrote what they thought was best.
Being left handed is fine.
Judges 20:16,17
Judges 3:15
As I said, about specially trained, left-handed Isrealite soliders.
This has to be the most ridiculous question I have encountered recently. And Yes! I do encounter questions…I don’t just ask them.
Is it possible to walk on a tightrope and butter a piece of toast while putting a bandage on a small cut? Yes. This question is equally nonsensical as the above.
In the eye’s of Lord Jesus Christ EVERYONE is a Sinner…there are no Gradients of Sin…one Sin is NOT more sinful than another…ALL SINS disgruntle GOD!
You can be anything you want,
as long as you realise that
you must live your life as
best you can according to
the dictates of the Bible!!
So you can do research when pressed, good. A couple questions:
Do you see the difference between “are worthy of death” and “deserve to be put to death?” Who dies, Dan~?
And by the verses you yourself cite, it also includes fornicators, boasters, inventors of evil things, those who are disobedient to their parents, decietful people, and those who are proud.
And there you have it. Either the Bible really and truly advocates the death penalty for all such people, or that’s not really what it’s saying at all. Who dies?
The same can be said for sexual attraction to people who aren’t your wife, or the desire to take things that don’t belong to you. Yes, every single human will be plagued by temptation to sin until they die. We aren’t all tempted by the same sins to the same degree, though.
Yes, I think we’re on the same page there, that’s what I mean when I talk about forgiveness, not the “I can do what I want as long as I apologize to Jesus later” attitude you talk about. The idea that God is a person is very hard for some people to grasp, but at the same time, it makes this all quite a bit clearer. Will a good parent forgive? Will a good child say, “I’ll just do this wrong thing and pretend to be sorry later, so it will be ok”?
Well sure, but if what they wrote down as being best also happened to be what everybody was already doing, then we have difficulties. The Scripture writers weren’t engaged in any particular effort to ‘keep women down’, or anything like that- they were just supporting traditional family life.
And I still don’t see what this has to do with the homosexuality thing.
