Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

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

(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.

What’s the best way to get over someone you love?

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

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

Why are there posts saying the T in LGBT should be dropped? With what is happening in the US and beyond against the trans community cause for concern that if this is accepted could it be deemed acceptable to start on the LGB community again?

Why can’t some Christians?

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.

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

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

My landlord just sold the house I’m renting from her. She included all fixtures, that I bought and installed. Does she have this right?

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

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

What is your language's pangram?

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.

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.

My boyfriend won’t tell me his past and it hurts me so I broke up with him what do I do?

No one knows.

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

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).

Why did my ex of 2 years move on so fast after he left me? Why does he act so cold towards me, and as if I don't exist?

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.

I see ugly guys dating gorgeous, "hot" women all the time. I, too, am not very attractive but I'm not doing well with the ladies. What's their secret?

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).

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