Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

Does He?

No one knows.

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

Where?

Men interpret Scriptures certain ways, but Jesus said we make void the Word by our tradition. Groupthink is tradition.

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.

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

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

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

What is something brutally honest that needs to be said?

Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.

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

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

Republican Trump is a billionaire, president, won't be held accountable for multiple felonies, and pretty much has whatever he wants. So why is he always whining and crying about stupid, pointless stuff? Is he incapable of happiness?

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

Why is it the Legalists always run to the Law?

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

Do the British people realize how much American people absolutely despise them?

(What do you think he would write a line or two about?)

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

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

What is your daily motivation and does it work?

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

What are your thoughts on RM's new album "Right Place, Wrong Person"?

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.

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.

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.

Where's the Civil War everyone on the left said would happen?

Christ bringing up Genesis is not Him being exclusionary, it is Him reminding these lecherous men that their wives are bound to their hearts.

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.

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.

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

Right?

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).

What do you remember that 95% of us have forgotten?

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.
