If you understood it, you'd be a follower.

Seek what you want, that is what you'll find.

The Bible has been added to and changed over time. For instance the story about the prostitute and Jesus saying "he who is without sin cast the first stone" was not found in the early versions if the bible and was added centuries later, which means Jesus probably never said it. The bible was written by men and is therefore fallible.

So when does Jesus say what old Jewish laws specifically are done and which ones y’all are gonna carry forward?


See Hebrews and Galatians, try to understand the 2 "deals" or covenants that are offered and the symbolism within them and biblical history.

There's also a scripture in one of Paul's letter that says it's not what goes into a man's mouth that makes him unclean, but what comes out of it.

But he was talking about food, not penis.


Words, not food. The words come from the contents of the heart and SHOW that his heart is defiled.

Being gay is not a sin - acting out as a homosexual is a sin according to Scripture.

Being heterosexual is not a sin - acting out sexually as a heterosexual outside of marriage is a sin according to scripture.

Having a bad temper is not a sin - failing to control it is a sin according to scripture.

Sin is sin in God's eyes (though some sin does have greater consequences here on earth).

Just be careful not to call a sin not a sin just because it happens to be your personal favorite. That's calling God a liar.


Jesus revealed the true nature of sin, as something spiritual in the heart, not the actions of the body.

Ye have heard that it was said by them of
old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh
on a woman to lust after her hath committed
adultery with her already in his heart.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
And then Paul cites a specific example of wickedness committed by specific people at a specific time. It’s very important why he picked this specific time to tell these specific people about this specific instance of these specific people committing this specific series of wicked acts.

People have misinterpreted it as meaning that God condemns homosexuality because that makes them comfortable.

People have never changed!

The same types of people are still here today and will be until the end. Only the names and faces have changed.

Look at how often Jesus criticized the priests for their unrighteousness, piety, and lack of love. It should be no surprise that those same types of people are priests today. No scripture is for a set group of people that do not exist today.

Ask me more I'll tell you.

Thanks for all that nothing.

You don’t seem too interested in finding out who Paul was talking about and why. I understand. A lot of people are really comfortable with their modern mainstream misinterpretation of the passage.

God consistently condemns homosexuality throughout the Bible and there is not one passage of scripture from Genesis to Revelation that's speaks of homosexuality as a positive thing.
Therefore, it's not a mystery how God feels about the subject, nor was Paul coming up with some new teachings.

No, it’s talking about specific people. It’s important who these people are and why God chose those specific people to smite in this specific way.
Again, the language used to describe these acts is nothing positive. Do you think that God is condemning those actions only because of who is doing them? What about in that same passage when it condemns all other sorts of sins? Are those sins only condemned within the context of who is doing the sinning?

There is nothing positive said about homosexuality in the entire Bible. It's all negative. No matter the context, it's all negative.

I'm still waiting for someone to show me one passage of scripture speaking of homosexuality in a positive way.
Instead of trying to insult me, illuminate me instead.
I'll wait.
