Homophobes
This country (and this site) is fucking infested with homophobes. They are pathetic people who should all be shot. My patience for these lowlifes is running extremely thin. Without homophobes, I'm pretty sure there would be less domestic violence, because they tend to be redneck wife-beaters as well. I'm fucking sick of saying things like "well it's wrong to spread hate, but you can do it because the Bible tells you to. And we can't be religiously intolerant now can we?" Fuck you pricks and go back to doing what you're good at, making babies and beating women.
However, homosexual relations make no biological sense, and looking at the shape and function of human organs will tell you that it’s totally wrong.
"The bible doesnt not say to be homophobic you freaking morons. You should find the scripture that says that and post it on this site. you are suppost to love not hate. Hate the sin love the sinner thats what the bible teaches!!!!!"
1. Leviticus, Chapter 18, verse 22. But then again, that's from the same book that says that disobidient sons should be stoned to death, tatoos are sinful, and to kill anyone who works on the sabbath.
2. Hate the sin, love the sinner? What sin?
"I hate gays. id like to see one faggot try to do something. Like this clown. whats said is you made yourself look dumb not all homokillers are rednecks. id love to see u in the street and chop you down."
Care to repeat that in a way that we can understand?
Okay, I think we agree that the bible clearly states that homosexuality is a sin. Now, you said that the bible says that "disobidient sons should be stoned to death". I have no idea where you got that. I'm almost 90% sure it is not in the bible. Even if it did, I think you're misinterpreting it ( Don't worry, alot of people do that.). You also say that tattoos are sinful? Yes. Yes, they are. And to kill anyone who works on the sabbath? What the hell? Where did you get that from? I guarenty it does not say that.
"Hate the sin, love the sinner? What sin?"
Technically homosexuality is a sin. Not only does the bible say that, but if you look at the logic and context of the book of Genesis, you will see that it is indeed a sin. Before I get into that, I would just like to announce that a 'sin' is an evil act against God. Adam and Eve were the first people, and they were put there to procreate. So, obviously the natural sexual orientation is hetrosexuality. If you go against God ( which is evil itself) then you are sinning. So, instead of choosing hetrosexuality, you choose homosexuality, which is an evil act against God, making it a sin. Just one more thing. Having a homosexual orientation is not a sin, but the acts of homosexuality is a sin. If you look at the biblical verses, it will agree. I hope it did not look like I contradicted myself. If it did, then just let me know. Thanks.
I'm not saying God doesn't exist. I'm just saying putting all your faith in a book written by Mortal MEN makes you a very unwise. person.
And yes, Adam and eve were put here to procreate, and thus herosexuality is the natural way of things and to defy that is to defy god. But, if we go by that logic, everything except vaginal intercourse is a sin against god. And if that is true, I'd say a good bit more than half of the world's population is going to hell.
And yeah, it was said, word for word: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." in Leviticus, chapter 18, verse 22. But as far as I can see, that chapter was covering prostitution (or something close, adultry perhaps). So I don't belive he was saying homosexual relations were sinful, I belive he was saying something along the lines of "And men can't whore themselves out to men either."
In response to your above post: I think he meant you should have faith in god itself and not a few thousand year diluted copy of the suposed "Word of God."
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal, and I will try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.
a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?
i) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Touche. If you look at the old testament, where Exodus is found, God is very wrathful. He judged everyone with an iron fist. Ever hear of Sodom and Gamorah? Yeah, he punished thousands of people (punish being an understatement) because they were all sinners, and proud of it. If you look at the new testament, it will show God in a different light, a God that shows mercy. Where am I going with this? Well, I'm just saying that God punishes people, and He does it wisely. But because Jesus Christ came to shed his blood, He shows mercy on our souls.
You shouldn't take verses in the bible so literally all of the time. Alot of it is symbolic. The KJV is probably the worst translated version out there, by the way. I say this because I assume this is where you got the verse from.
"But, if we go by that logic, everything except vaginal intercourse is a sin against god."
Yes, actually, anal, oral, masturbation or any other kind of sex is a sin. But remember, there is such a thing as repentence.
"And yeah, it was said, word for word: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." in Leviticus, chapter 18, verse 22. But as far as I can see, that chapter was covering prostitution (or something close, adultry perhaps). So I don't belive he was saying homosexual relations were sinful, I belive he was saying something along the lines of "And men can't w**** themselves out to men either.""
Wrong again, my good man. That was the KJV translation I believe. Let's look at the NASB version, shall we?
Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."
Oh, and you forgot some verses to go along with it.
Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them"
1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."
You see, what you presented to me was just a lousy interpretation. This is one good example of why people should never be able to privately interpret the bible. This is why I am a Catholic and not a protestant.
"f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?"
Okay, first of all, dietary laws are no longer in effect, nor are they manditory. Read the New testament, I think you'll understand what I mean.
"g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?"
Another symbolic verse. If you have a defect in your sight, you may not appraoch the alter of God. What that means is if you have something that is blocking your faith (disbelief, sin, evil, etc...), then you may not appraoch the alter. I once was blind, but now can see, get it?
As for the rest, I cannot respond to because I do not know the whole bible. I am not a priest.
Now you say the bible is symbolic? You just said it "clearly states".
As like many others, you pick and choose what can be left up to interpertation, and what is "Solid".
Try this one John. John 3:16. I don't see that verse being left up for symbolism. As you would say, it "clearly states". No footnotes excluding anyone.
Face it John. You're no different. You use and interpert the bible as you see fit.
My name? You're starting to sound like Hoofhearted. And you feel all those people in Seven deserved to die. Well, let's forget evolved sensibility and try to figure out why, if they were real people, they were like that. Depression, Poverty..etc etc. Just kill em right?
And the Old Testimate/New testimate comparison doesn't really strike me as effective here. Reason? I want you to find me just one verse in the New testimate that damns homosexuality. And I want you to find it in an older version of the bible. Pre-Christian Reform if you can find one. If you can find that, I'll accept that argument.
How old is the NASB version? I'd bet you that it was written within the last two hundred years.
(I really can't fight your other arguments without making myself look like a compleat dipstick. You won those.
Oh, and I'm Episcopalien, if you couldn't tell. :P)
"The book of Leviticus is clear in condemning homosexual acts. Chapter 20 repeats and expands upon a list in chapter 18, saying you should not lie with a male as with a woman in a long agenda of proscribed acts having to do with adultery, incest, bestiality, child sacrifice, sex during menstruation, witchcraft, and cursing one’s father or mother. Scholars know this list as the “Holiness Code.” Death is the punishment for adultery, child sacrifice, cursing father or mother, incest with mother-in-law or daughter-in-law, bestiality, and lying with a man as with a woman. Banishment or barrenness are the punishments for the other forms of incest, sleeping with a menstruating woman, and using mediums or wizards. All the laws are directed at men even when women are involved in the proscribed behavior and are punished. Women were not regarded as sufficiently important moral agents to be addressed in law.
Does anyone today accept the Holiness Code fully and literally? Few of us would put to death people for the acts Leviticus proscribes. The violent gay-bashers who kill people such as Matthew Shepard do follow the biblical commandment to put to death men who lie with men as with women; nevertheless such gay bashers are regarded in the United States as murderers. That we reject or seriously modify the biblical approach to punishment means we do not follow a purely biblical rule for morals, and that we already make discerning judgments about what to accept. We in the West do not believe in witches and would be very slow to believe that cursing parents deserves the death penalty. Concerning the proscription of lying with a man as with a woman, should we liken that to child sacrifice, which we condemn, or to consulting mediums or making love during menstruation, which we do not?
