Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

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.

Why can’t some Christians?

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

—— which songs do certain kuorans remind you of?

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).

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

Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.

Why would calling me an incel help anything? How does that solve anything? Why can’t you actually be helpful and offer productive honest advice?

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

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.

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

Why do some people prefer watching movies than reading novels even if they are both based on the same source material (book)?

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

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

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.

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

Why does it matter so much to atheists that God doesn't exist?

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

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

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.

What are your thoughts about Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention in support of Trump and ripping his shirt off? Did he exaggerate?

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.

Answer to: Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

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

Why do a lot of autistic people not know how to style their hair?

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

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.

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

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.

No one knows.

Do you know a good lawyer joke?

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

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