You have to take the Bible as a whole, Corinthians, Galatians, and Romans make very clear that homosexuals will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven, therefore are not able to be Christians unless they repent and turn from their sin and follow Christ.

It is inaccurate to say we ignore the rest of Leviticus actually.

Much is ignored though. And aren't those books in the Old Testament? I am pretty sure that Jesus was here to renew the beliefs of God. A more accepting less wrathful God?

The books I referenced are in the New Testament. And no, that is not accurate of what Jesus came to do.

Leviticus didn't say anything against homosexuality in general, just certain practices, such as keeping boy slaves for sex.

I haven't read the bible inwhole yet. I am relying on my boyfriend and some old friends. So please forgive me for not being at knowledgeable with the bible :doh
 
re: Which religion will stand its ground against the gay agenda? [W:743]

That is absolutely false.

nope its 100% fact and your trying to dishonestly deny it wont change this fact :shrug:
facts defeat you again
 
re: Which religion will stand its ground against the gay agenda? [W:743]

I thought Leviticus said some things about it is an abomination for a man to sleep with another mad like a woman. Or something like that.

In the modern English translation it does, however if you go back to older manuscripts it talks about men having sex with their male children and boy sex slaves.

Its messed up but I will go into depth to explain it if you care to hear.

I already knew the translation was wrong. But what else was translated wrong?

reading the Bible cover to cover is daunting enough but that only scratches the surface.

Lack of concern for the homosexuals who wish to be held in high esteem and their demand for all the benefits given 'traditional' married couples is not necessarily indicative of religious fundamentalism.
 
re: Which religion will stand its ground against the gay agenda? [W:743]

I've noticed a lot of churches have been caving in to the demands of gay activists, so my question here is, which of the remaining 4 will still be standing after the dust settles?

I'm still trying to figure out what the gay agenda is...

People keep mentioning it but I've never seen it, my gay friend in college had a similar agenda to me, get through school, pave a way to a better and brighter future for ourselves, and have a little fun and sometimes a lot of beer while doing it :cheers:


My Church hasn't been 'caving' but the Catholic Church in the US is much more liberal then in the rest of the world, I've been to certain churches where the homily has been more political has spoken against the Churches stances on issues involving allowing women priests and homosexuality. The Church as a whole will never give the okay for gay marriage at least not in the foreseeable future so if that's what you mean by the 'gay agenda' then I would vote against any possibility of her caving on that issue.

I only know a few of the scriptures that people use to say homosexuality is wrong because my ex sent me a bunch of pages about them. Which in respect to her conversation I read. But I they all say the same thing. Homosexuality is wrong IN THE TIME PERIOD AND WHERE THEY WERE but not that God was against it.

But it sure rightly sets off all the alarm bells.........................................

It wasn't that it was translated incorrectly but incomplete.

The Bible is very specific about sexual morality. It is addressed only to men because women were property in the old testament. It says, don't have sex with family members, in laws, step children, and numerous other forms of heterosexual sex. It had to be specific because it can't ban heterosexuality although the evangelical movement in the 19th century did forbid sex of all types. They just decided to change that. Anyway back to leviticus.

In the older text it says that it is abominable to have sex with a catamite, which is a beardless man, in the Jewish culture it was forbidden to shave your beard, so this was a boy, male child. It also referred to thus person you are forbidden to sleep with as a slave, sex slave, prostitute. Its all the same in Hebrew culture.

Now upon translating to modern English about two hundred or so years ago the translators just said homosexuality because it was extremely taboo at the time so no need to be specific.

I read Leviticus. The message is loud and clear. I don't need to know anything else about monotheism in any form..................................

The "gay agenda" is the proverbial boogie man in our age that silk bring yet another false apocalypse.

God forbid this information arose for everyone to see. I mean, if it did they would discard it as a lie.

And you most likely took Leviticus out of context..

Wrong. The Bible/Koran/Torah are just hate literature for straight people......................

If you want to support that the bible says homosexuality is wrong, tell me where Jesus said anything about homosexuality.

You realize that Scripture isn't soley based on the Red Letters correct?

Surprisingly not. Most people who manipulate scripture do so to support their own beliefs. I have pointed this out, the original script is there in front of the world but people like the anti gay nonsense so that is truth until it no longer serves its purpose.

You really have to seek answers for yourself if you don't you get regurgitated programming that seems so common these days.

What are the Red Letters?

No. Spoken by someone who knows what it means to look out after one's own life.........................

Basically put, when someone tells you that the Bible says so and so, just accept that as a lie until you confirm it.
