Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

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).

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

Where?

How does a 45-year-old man get a girlfriend?

Right?

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.

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

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

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

Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.

Why is it the Legalists always run to the Law?

What is the process of becoming an Evangelical preacher? Is attending seminary school necessary? How long does it typically take? Is it financially challenging?

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

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

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.

Why cant I motivate myself to go to school (grade 10)?

Does He?

Further Musings:

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.

What if the girl says that drama about you dating here? Is that a bad sign?

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.

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

Do you enjoy cheating on your spouse? If so, why?

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

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

No one knows.

Were you ever in love with your teacher?

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

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 think he would write a line or two about?)

Can ringing in the ears be a sign of spiritual awakening?

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.

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

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 does it mean when a guy says he's afraid of falling for someone else after going through heartbreaks?

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

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

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

You found a love potion, and your friend tried to use it on an attractive popular girl, but he accidentally dropped it on the neighbors dog. Now the dog won't stop following him. How would you help him?

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

Why can’t some Christians?

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.

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.
