"For the Bible Tells Me So"

We just watched the terrific documentary, "For the Bible Tells Me So." What a really insightful and intelligent film.

Anybody who is interested in the issue of homosexuality from a Biblical point of view should definitely watch it ... it has some really smart people saying some very smart things.

And it's an easy watchable accessible 90 minutes.

I'd be very interested to see how the homosexual community sets about trying to normalise its abnormality.

Especially if its an "easy watchable accessible 90 minutes" as opposed to a "difficult excruciating inaccessible 90 minutes".

Are they planning a sequel about bestialists?

I always that that murder was the worst of any sin. And then I read the bible. I guess Moses didn't think so. It seems the god of moses was really good at commanding his followers to murder innocents by the thousands. Well, I guess that if God had asked Moses to go and rape women and sodomize men, our conversation would be very different now.

I get so sick of these pseudo-Christians saying that they don't wish to harm gays, but that they are believers in the Bible, so they have to hate the sin.

Actually, if they are firm believers in the Bible, then they should be advocating gays being put to death. They should all join Fred Phelps' church. Because THAT is what the Bible says should be the punishment for homosexuality.

Either do what the Bibles says - or admit that it must be read with consideration of its time and circumstance of writing.

That is what the bible says regarding old Jewish Law, for old time Jews. The law doesnt aply to those under the blood of Christ, if it still applied Jesus would have had no choice but to have that women stoned for adultry. Instead he told her to go and sin no more. For the Christian of today, under the blood of Christ, we are to love the sinner, and hate the sin. We are not to kill people for the sin of homosexuality, nor for adultry. We are in the age of grace, and we are meant to be a light to the world. But unfortunatly most prefer the dark, for they cannot comprehend the light.

Terrific film. I'm glad you got to see it, Tristan!

I still say it's worth a look for anyone of any opinion on this issue.

It's always a good idea to take a moment and reconsider why you hold your position, regardless of whether you ultimately change it or not.

Of course.
(I thought that was obvious from my comments above.)

What did you think of the film?

I haven't seen it yet. Is it in cinemas or on DVD?

In what sense did it make you reconsider your position?

She's decided to stop being a lesbian, beg for forgiveness before the Lord, and get married to a man. She's doing all of this so you will be accepting of her.
