Oh come on now Tristan! Everybody has do deal with offensive foley that might be steered in their direction. It's really not that bad you know. How do you think I feel going to bed at night thinking that everybody doesn't find me funny? It can be more of a struggle than trying to type with the vibrations on the constant Blackhawk helicopters overhead now.

Yes, metaphor, as opposed to literal truth, is designed to express an idea - not a hard facted law. This is one of the primary reasons I am a UCC member as well.

That wasn't my point.

The only "rule" in the Bible about homosexuality is that straight men who engage in homosexual acts should be put to death.

Big surprise that you endorse that.
I disagree, the rule in the bible, repeated several times is that same sex relations are an abomination. It didn't say straight guys shouldn't screw other straight guys. Or gay guys shouldn't screw straight guys. It says women should not screw women and men should not screw men. Period. It didn't say straight men shouldn't screw animals but it's okay for zoophiles either.

And that was my point in my post. The laws that catch pedophiles don't say pedophiles shouldn't touch children in a sexual manner. It say no person should touch a child in a sexual manner. And in that, they exactly correlate with the wording of the Bible.

It's absolutely amazing the irrational convoluted thought that the homosexual mind can contrive to try to find normalcy in the face of the obvious.

you don't know what you're talking about
it says that it's wrong for "men to give up women and their natural use and turn to each other" - gay men do not GIVE up women. There is nothing to give up - they're not interested.
But - I don't expect you to be able to see any depth in something like The Bible.

Dude, you are on crack. You must have the abbreviated version or a Homible or something. Because everybody else that has a Bible has a copy that says...
Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."

Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them"

1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."


And it clearly goes a little further than what you just said.

If you were a normal, level-headed person, I would be happy to discuss those particular passages with you.

But as you're not - and are merely a troll bigot trying to bait another circular argument, I'm not interested.

Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."

CORRECTION: LEV. 18:22 "
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination." ...just as I said. Gay men do not lie with females.

Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them"

CORRECTION: LEV. 20:13 "
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." ... just as I said. Gay men do not lie with women.

1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

CORRECTION: 1 COR. 6:9-10 "
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, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." ...I am aware, of course, that many new 20th century "reader-friendly" Bibles have chosen to insert the word 'homosexuals' into the scriptures. However, it's fairly obvious that homosexuality as we know it today, was unknown 2000+ years ago. Anyway, this verse has far more to do with the "abomination" of masturbation (abuse of oneself) than homosexuality. Weird ... except for the Pope, I so rarely hear of any religious leader condemning masturbation. I wonder why ...

Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."

...just as I said - abandoning the natural function of women. Gay men don't sleep with women - they don't abandon anything.

And it clearly goes a little further than what you just said.


Actually, I was even more accurate than I knew!

If wanted to get into a circular argument, I would have posted much more than just the passages themselves. You, on the other hand depends on a circular argument since any direct one would expose you for the fraud you are. Such as several posts about the source of my links but not a single post about the material it contains. And calling you cronies to help. Sad. What version of the Bible are you using? That Homible because your's seems to be seriously defective.
Thou shalt not lie with mankind? That makes less sense than the regular Bible(depending on what "regular" means it seems).
