Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.

Men interpret Scriptures certain ways, but Jesus said we make void the Word by our tradition. Groupthink is tradition.

Today we have Divorce courts, protections, child custody, child and spousal support.

This is a real question: Why do a lot of men/boys hate (yes, hate) women that voice their criteria in choosing a partner? Even when the criteria is sane and responsible. Besides it being, sadly, an effective mating strategy, why does it exist?

Since Paul is who most homophobes run to in order to support their case, I went to him first, there really isn’t much left.

No. Rape is violence, not sex. The story is about kidnapping into slavery and the abuse of strangers.

Sodom and Gomorrah. Two cities completely filled with Gay men, young and old. Cities who recently had gone to war, who Abraham had rescued, who Lot went back to live among, who tried to rape two angels that they mistook for men … I guess.

Should I have left it alone and kept quiet? I came out as gay to my adult kids last week. Age 61 married 15 years, divorced for 20. I feel so guilty for ruining their lives by living a lie.

Inhospitable, loathsome, yet leave it to homophobia to twist it and miss it (the verse they use in Jude fails the test because of this).

Last, Leviticus. Two almost identical verses. One sex act (If translated correctly. The Hebrew words are sparse. People debate everything).

Christ bringing up Genesis is not Him being exclusionary, it is Him reminding these lecherous men that their wives are bound to their hearts.

What are "the new net zero jobs of tomorrow" that SNP's Stephen Flynn says his party would create?

In Romans chapter 1, verses 26–27 are cherry-picked out of the context which starts in verse 18. The context is Idolatry.

I am not a Jewish man. I’m am not under any part of the Law for my righteousness. To place myself under the Law for my righteous standing with God would be to put myself under the curse of the Law listed in Dt 28.

What are the differences between Republicans and Democrats in their views of the government's role in society? How do these differences impact policymaking?

Right?

These were common in that culture in Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, Rome, and Crete, all places Paul went. They existed centuries after Paul.

Mt 19 is about Divorce. Jesus’ reference to Celibacy is that it is a gift from God and that not everyone can receive it.

What are examples of real life forced feminization?

The truth is, the Old Testament and New Testaments say next to nothing and sexual orientation is a relatively new concept.

Why can’t some Christians?

There were Male Shrine Prostitutes in the OT book of Kings, that practice was old in Paul’s time. Many dismiss the idea based what seem to be personal or sociological reasons, not archaeological ones.

What are some creepy bestiality-promoting questions obviously asked for sexual gratification?

Many believe Paul is writing about what he sees, temples that have male and female prostitutes engaged in ritual activities.

(So please, before you enforce celibacy on another, castrate yourself … or leave other people alone?)

Why are people with borderline personality disorder so capable of ripping someone apart with their words?

Didn’t they read Galatians? Romans? James and his “Law of Liberty.” The entire New Testament? You can even find Grace in the Old Testament, some of the Rabbis have.

Him and I are good and that’s all I need.

Scholars and translators know this. The Greek translation of Arsenokoitace is uncertain. The word was coined by Paul (probably) or a contemporary of his. Any person who says they know exactly what Paul meant is lying (seriously).

What do most wives fantasize about?

What? It’s okay for David to be both a man after God’s own heart and a Bloody Bipolar Adulterer who even desecrated what was holy, as long as he wasn’t Bisexual, right? Lol

If anything, Paul was writing about male prostitutes, not LGBT.

If you embrace the fact that David “embraced” Jonathan and God was cool with it, you find that your concepts about what God “hates” get thrown out.

Atheists, there is a god up there in heaven and he loves you so much that he sent his son to die the worst death imaginable and then to turn into a zombie all to save you from sin. Why do you reject him?

Those women were shunned, shamed, casted out and abandoned. The man had all the power and Jesus dared to challenge that. Even His disciples were astounded.

Homophobia is a billion dollar business for Corporate Christianity. Isn’t it?
