I'll reply to your post with some scritures, if I am misunderstanding them please clarify them for me. Maybe I should have just created a new thread. Oh well.
Hahahaha wrote:The Bible clearly does NOT say that God hates homosexuals.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. - Leviticus 18:22 (
homosexual sex is an abomination)
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. - Leviticus 20:13 (
practicing homosexuals will be put to death and it is their fault for being gay)
The next three go together
And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. - 1 Kings 15:11(
what Asa does below is right to god)
And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. - 1 Kings 15:12(
god condones evicting homosexuals, this is further proven by the next scripture)
But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days. - 1 Kings 15:14(
god is satisfied with all that Asa has done, hence perfect)
And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove. - 2 Kings 23:7(
to god it's fine to tear down the house of a homosexual)
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, - 1 Corinthians 6:9(
not only can you not get into heaven if you are gay, but you can't be effeminate either)
The next two go together
Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: - Romans 1 1:31("without natural affection" means homosexuality)
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. - Romans 1 1:32 (
homosexuals, as mentioned above, deserve death)
Hahahaha wrote:It also shows a lot of respect for women. Whoever told you that has not read it.
Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. - Genesis 19 19:8(
A man named "lot" is giving his virgin daughters to a crowd of men so they can have sex with them, he does this to satisfy the men so that they will not rape the male angles that he has in his house LOLZZ(read Genesis 19 1-8 for the rest))
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. - Genesis 19 19:26 (
WTF?, she looked back at Sodom and he punished her in this manner for it, she is not named in the bible)
But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. - Genesis 25 25:6(Here is a
wikipedia article on concubines)
Jacob offers to work for seven years to pay for Rachel. As it turns out, he is tricked into having sex with her sister, Leah, instead, so he has to work for another seven years so in order to pay for them both. Genesis 29 29:18-30 (too much to quote)
Also, in the Bible women are merely possessions that can be given away or bought and the woman is always blamed if a couple can't conceive, I don't feel like quoting any more scriptures in this post though
Hahahaha wrote:God says that homosexual acts are sinful. That is not at all the same as saying God hates homosexuals. In fact, it is a bigger sin to say that God hates homosexuals than it is to actually be a homosexual. Don't believe me? Ask a priest.
I would if I was worried about the afterlife. God does condone their houses being destroyed and them being driven out of the city and their being put to death and keeping them out of church, what does that sound like to you?
Hahahaha wrote:As a matter of fact, careful study of the Bible will reveal that a celibate homosexual has nothing to worry about in the face of God.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
How many celibate homosexuals do you know? Sure, there are some, but they are in the minority. If the refuse to change their sexual habits they will be tortured for eternity, even if the are GREAT people.
