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).
Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.
No one knows.
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.
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.
Where?
Today we have Divorce courts, protections, child custody, child and spousal support.
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 happens to single guys when they get older?
Christ bringing up Genesis is not Him being exclusionary, it is Him reminding these lecherous men that their wives are bound to their hearts.
Homophobia is a billion dollar business for Corporate Christianity. Isn’t it?
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.
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).
Did Trump show us once again that he is a master debater?
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.
Why can’t some Christians?
Many believe Paul is writing about what he sees, temples that have male and female prostitutes engaged in ritual activities.
Why is social media so anti-fee speech, and have they become total BS?
The truth is, the Old Testament and New Testaments say next to nothing and sexual orientation is a relatively new concept.
Why is it the Legalists always run to the Law?
(So please, before you enforce celibacy on another, castrate yourself … or leave other people alone?)
Why is it that women are stronger than men nowadays?
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.
Try to break free from the shackles of it and you will find yourself outside the fold Pastor.
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.
What do you think of Tesla's Model Y coming in ninth among electric cars sales in Europe?
Him and I are good and that’s all I need.
Men interpret Scriptures certain ways, but Jesus said we make void the Word by our tradition. Groupthink is tradition.
No. Rape is violence, not sex. The story is about kidnapping into slavery and the abuse of strangers.
(What do you think he would write a line or two about?)
Answer to: Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?
In Romans chapter 1, verses 26–27 are cherry-picked out of the context which starts in verse 18. The context is Idolatry.
Are you offended if Democrats call Republicans "weird"?
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).
Does He?
Right?

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