Why does the God of the Bible condemn homosexual acts?

Why can’t some Christians?

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

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.

How do we greet in German, French, Spanish, and Italian?

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

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

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.

How do I convince flat earthers that the earth is round?

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

Are you already having anal sex?

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

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

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

How can I stop drinking?

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.

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

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).

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 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.

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

What should I do if I love someone who does not love me?

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

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

What is the reason for writing X^2 as XX instead of X*X?

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

Christ bore that, so, hard pass, thanks.

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

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

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.

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

Can being annoyed be a sign of getting angry?

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

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