Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

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.

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.

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.

From 1 to 10, how dark is the Naruto fandom? Why?

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

(What do you think he would write a line or two about?)

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).

Why do some people never get to on a date even though they wanted to? Are they just too ugly and weird for everybody?

Why is it the Legalists always run to the Law?

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

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

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

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

Where can I sell naked pics of myself online?

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

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

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

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

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

Try to break free from the shackles of it and you will find yourself outside the fold Pastor.

What is the reason behind some people referring to themselves as "nice guys" instead of simply being nice?

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.

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).

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.

Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.

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.

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