and your little explanation is cute and all, but that is the easiest one in the entire group to defend. Some are much more egregious than that

There were 80+ examples given and after my bedtime. I chose one almost at random. You pick one that's more egregious and if time permits I'll venture a response if time permits.

you don't think saying a women must be silent makes her inferior?

I think men and women are different (not inferior) because God purposefully created us so. He assigns roles and functions according to His designs. By analogy, I don't consider children less human than parents but moms and dads teach and discipline children, not vice-versa. God commands men to assume roles of protection and provision in homes and leadership in His churches.

As noted, I'll try and respond to the "contradiction" you select but IMO this path has wandered too far from the OP for further discussion in this thread.

fricking great

we have no problem identifying crazy muslims when they say this stuff about the koran... and yet supposedly normal people in our country sound the same and we accept this idiocy

Come on guys - the bible is a hodgepodge of texts which have been translated repeatedly, edited, had context removed, and otherwise altered

Picking out a few passages which justify hating homosexuality is no more logical than accepting slavery, stoning adulterers, condoning genocide, stoning people who work on teh sabbath, or calling the consumption of shellfish an abomination

Its pretty much time that we grew up as a culture and stopped this silliness. If you have an opinion just be a man and say you don't like gay people

Equating Coach Brown's statements to the concept of Islamic jihad is completely unfounded. Do you really think these are moral equivalents? Is any dissent allowed in America without it being characterized as jihad, hateful, homphobic and the like?

I would agree with much of this but "hodgepodge" is a little much. In spite of translations, etc it still maintains its meta-narrative and offers a consistent, comprehensive world view. Pretty impressive.

You are confusing a covenantal theocracy, personal Christianity, and secular society. Scripture maintains a consistent witness from Creation to the consummation of the ages that homosexuality is unnatural and an abomination before God.

There is nothing hateful about taking a moral stand on a moral issue. What comes across as hateful is when people elect to demagogue rather than debate the truth claims, merits, arguments, and ideas.

The silliness here is when some take that which is unnatural and attempt to institutionalize and normalize it. It's not innate, the parts don't correspond, and they (gays) don't reproduce.

That is a lie from the pit of hell. Your twisting truth might work with a baby Christian that does not know their stuff, but not on me bro. The very Greek/Hebrew texts are awesomely preserved. It may be true that one text to the other might have a dot or hash not there or missing, the most minor of things. But there is such great volumes of them, of each book, that we can compare. And when they find new scrolls, like dead sea ones, and match with more recent ones, they are a match. I don't think you really want to attempt to get into a Biblical Textual debate with me bro. For you will find that your little re-spun talking points from others attacking such things are not true. And you will be pointed out for not having a clue what you are talking about. There are many of us that eat, drink, sleep the Bible. Your not even remotely going to know what you are talking about, you being a man that does not care to understand the Bible. And attempting to spread lies will only make you look like a fool.

And so many were translated into other languages that we can easily cross check them. The accuracy of scripture attack is just a lie from the pit of hell done by people that hate God and the truth which rests inside that scripture. You are not fooling anybody.

Again, you have not any clue what you speak about. There is a old Covenant and a new one. The new Testament Church is under the New one, ie Jesus. The old Testament Israel was the only nation on earth where the Nation/Govt and the Religion were one in the same and ordered by God. They had different rules and customs. Much was meant for types and shadows of things to come, things having fulfillment in actual things New Testament and with Jesus. The Old Covenant is no more. It has been done away with. But there is a new Kingdom created. But this one is invisible and Jesus is the King. So those old ceremonial laws of old Israel such as not eating pork ect.. do not apply, as the New Testament talks about all this. To understand any issue or passage, you have to understand those things in their Context. And you clearly do not understand such. So when you quote those OT ceremonial laws or such things, us Christians just shrug our shoulders as they do not apply. We know that. But apparently you do not. And your attempt to Cherry Pick things that are not relevant in any way shape or form is pathetic. You clearly show you ignorance of the Bible and Christianity by doing so.

Grew up? If you have not checked the culture yet, the culture is getting much more wicked in all ways. And history shows the further a country gets away from God, it turns wicked. That is why our country is going to pot...just look around and study history. As far as not liking gay people. I think you get easily confused. Christians that believe the bible clearly teaches that homosexuality is a abomination before God and of his creative ways do not beat up gays. We could care less what they do in their homes. Plug males poop shoots all day long if you desire. The only problem we have is you trying hard to brainwash our children that it is ok or normal or natural. That, we take offense to. And as for Marriage, that is a religious thing. No one is keeping you from living with a another guy, having him dressing up in dresses like a woman, and getting your waste hole plugged every night. And no one is holding you back from getting a power of attorney, if you want to be committed to someone, so that you can get death, hospital, other rights. But don't try to lie and call man on man wedding marriage, for its not. And don't try to force your liberal propaganda down our children's throats. True Christians treat all people the same. We would be the last to beat anyone up for being gay. That is not the way of Jesus. But neither is the way of Jesus to Lie and Call what His Father said was a Abomination unto his eyes.

You have been preaching this liberal "Diversity Training stuff" for several years now. Yet the only ones that cannot be handle Diversity is you guys. You want to use that to mean indoctrinate. And you guys preach Tolerance for everybody, however you are the most In-tolerant of other views people there are! There is a word for such and it is called Hypocrites.

Frankly there should be no hate laws of any kind. Murder should be punished equal for all people, and not special classes. That is all this guy was against. Not agreeing with setting up special classes. A true Christian would never beat up a gay person. However, its funny, a street preacher went to Frisco a while ago, and got the crap beat out of him by tons of gay guys. You use double standards and are hypocrites. And everything elts is just a cover for you to try to Ram your perversion down our throats and get our children to except and endorse your perverted ways. And it's never going to happen with us. Just to let you know...

you have no clue what you are talking about and the "lie from a pit of hell" line is cute but just tells me you have no idea how many different versions of the bible there are, how hotly debated the different interpretations are, and how much evidence there is that people have picked and chosen from the options to preach the version they want to talk about

this is not a religion board, we need one but have had religion banished from first the political board, and now the OT board... perhaps because a discussion of religion leads to manifestos from people like you and derision from people like me

anyway you sound like a barking mad jihadist from the middle east or pakistan and it would be nice if more reasonable people would call the charlatans and fakes what they are - liars, thieves, cheats, hate mongers, and people who would go to hell if there was one and it judged people on the basis of their virtue

are you really going to claim the bible is consistent from version to version? that it doesn't contradict itself repeatedly? that stuff is incredibly obvious to anyone who has done even a little bit of reading on the subject you might be trolling i suppose - or perhaps just so irrational on the subject that you can justify anything

---

I am guessing by the word, "version" you are meaning type of translation. If so, I will call it translation. True, there are many different translations out there, good and bad. And your right, they do not all say the same things. Why is because any company or peoples are welcome to have the freedom to create their own Translations and not be arrested if they are incorrect. And many wolfs in sheeps clothing(and the bible talks about these people)have done just that. They are purposefully created different or new translations that are in great error. Like cults, (JW's- New World Translation) and liberal feminist ones that take out all references to God the Father and are gender neutral even though in the original Hebrew and Greek that is highly inaccurate. And the other just really liberal ones that purposefully incorrectly come up with theirs to deceive people. Nothing is even holding you back buddy from creating your own Translation(or version as you call it). You can even give yours any name you wish. You do not even have to know Greek or Hebrew to come up with one. And you can sell it and market it to anyone you wish. But that does not mean that it is accurate and true...

There simply are good and bad Translations out there. And there are people, like me, who study the languages and can know easily which are the good ones and which are the bad. We do have the freedom in this country, as well as other countries, to print off books of whatever we want and call them whatever Titles we wish. To even remotely lump them all together then use the bad ones, which were created by people intentionally wishing to deceive, as tools against the good ones and say, "See there, there are contradictions between Translations therefore they all must be incorrect and how are we do know if any of them are true" is complete illogical pathetic reasoning. And this is what you are doing. This just shows you really do not know what you are talking about with these issues.
