Bigotry in the name of religion is still bigotry.

1.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,1 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

“Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person,” (Col. 4:5-6).“But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith,” (1 Tim. 1:5).1 John 4:19 (ESV)We love because he first loved us.John 15:12 (ESV)“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”1 Corinthians 13:4 (ESV)Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant. Proverbs 20:28 (ESV)Steadfast love and faithfulness preserve the king, and by steadfast love his throne is upheld.1 John 4:11 (ESV)Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.1 John 3:14 (ESV)We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death.1 John 4:21 (ESV)And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.1 John 4:7 (ESV)Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

Hatred and bigotry? Come again?

then what a joy it will be for the rest of us that we will be separated from the likes of you, while you will be experiencing the joy of your fellow bigots through the eternity you so hope for. A win for both of us.

“When you are screaming for mecy in hell, olfart, you will find that it is no superstition. There has been PLENTY of evidence for the reality of both God and His Christ. But, you, like so many others, have hardened your heart against the truth, and even if one were raised from the dead in your presence, you would still deny the truth, just like the Pharisees who put Jesus to death”and clearly you’ll be right next to me for judging others, which is gods job, not yours.

“What part of human anatomy don’t you understand? The male organ is not made to fit into the male anus.”Far be it for me to question your expertise, so I acknowledge it. You seem to be an authority about male ansus. since more heterosexuals couples enjoy anal sex than gay couples, answer me this:is there something different about a female anus than a male anus?

<BR?

“Hatred and bigotry? Come again?”your first post sure sounds that way. you do know that the wisest person in the bible – king solomon – had 700 wives and 300 concubines, right?

You had me at “When I burn a bull on the alter…” So much story telling in the bible taken at face value, Holy cow.Thank you.

You didn’t read the second comment, did you?

Leviticus is only for the Levi tribe, and i’m assuming you’re not in it.

I may be Christian, but even I agree that pope was an idiot.

MAN AND WOMEN ARE CRETED FOR EACH OTHER. NOT MAN AND MAN OR WOMAN AND WOMAN.

Genesis 1:27-28 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

1 Corinthians 7:2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Romans 1:26-27 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

Genesis 2:24 – “For this reason a man will leave his father and other and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh

I’ll listen to you after you’ve converted all the other heathen – Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, etc., etc., who have different beliefs and just as much ‘evidence’

It IS contrary to the Bible. Does that make the Bible right?

^"Bible-rite. Is that where you buy bibles at the can-can sale?

“@Jase99

How about the ban on brother/sister, father/daughter, and mother/son marriage?

After all,they love one another."this is one of the reasons i like the case for removing govt benefits from marriage. In fact if two people, regardless of who they are, want to make a life together, they should get civil benefits.if a brother and a sister join to form a HOUSEHOLD and raise kids (not necessarily their own), why shouldn’t they get civil benefits of inheritence, health proxy, etc….?

I drew something on roughly the same subject. Check today’s Sooky Rottweiler cartoon.

@Orthodox Catholic….and the Jews (according to you and those of your religion) got them from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, which has 52 “laws”!.You boys know a good thing when you see it, don’t you?

Your speech is filled with hate, and yet you accuse those who disagree with you of the same thing. In my dictionary that is called a hypocrite.

It is sad that you call God and the Bible superstition. Anybody who has ever studied it seriously has to face the reality that in the history of mankind there has never been a book so accurate as the Bible. You may deny it but that is because you never studied it seriously. You say it is superstition. I challenge you to show how your views have passed the test of time more than the Bible, and are more worthy to be believed that it is.

You refer to those who disagree with you as bigots. Doesn’t that make you a bigot? You are too narrow minded to accept alternate views.

Even House is a religious person. He worships himself. It is amazing but when God created mankind, He created man to be religious. I have never met a person who was not religious.

"These are JEWISH ceremonial and civil laws. They are different from the Moral Law, which is found in the 10 Commandments. <>You really should not try to do theology. You are in way over your head."wow, you must have failed theology multiple times. do you know who delivered the 10 commandments? Do you know what language he spoke, or what religion he was, or what religion he founded?

I confess I don’t understand the part where ♥ = [insert something pornographic here]. Love does not equal sex (of any kind).

“@ODon

Just because somebody does something wrong does not mean that God, or the Bible, supports such actions. Yes, Solomon had too many wives, and yes they turned Solomon’s heart from God. Solomon had a sad end of his life. It is illogical to use a failure such as Solomon to support your sinful lifestyle (unless you want)."

Solomon died of natural causes after a reign of 40 years and was succeeded by his son.

sounds like a pretty spectacular failure.

“failures of Solomon are the opinion of a book written thousands of years after his rule. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

^my partner is a levi. does that mean he’s ok and i’m not?for those that care the Levi’s (or Levy’s) and the Cohens are the “priests”. Not sure why the Cohens are excluded from the exemption, have to do some more research……..

^my partner is a levi. does that mean i’m ok and he’s not?

for those that care the Levi’s (or Levy’s) and the Cohens are the “priests”. Not sure why the Cohens are excluded from the restriction, have to do some more research……..isn’t it interesting that gay sex is fine for RC Priests but not for Jewish ones?

Attention everyone:If you want to be a so-called ‘Bible scholar’, then just go to Bible.com . It has a search engine.

“And that would have been David, the gay guy.2 Samuel 1:25-26‘I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was more wonderful than the love of women.’”

Just sayin,’ Solomon was the son of David (by Bathsheba), not the other way around. David succeeded Saul, though (but was not his son; that was Jonathan). Might that have been part of the mix-up?

I don’t know who succeeded Solomon, but if it WAS another David (named after his zayde?), it wasn’t Jonathan’s David.

there are at least 3 types of “love”= carnal, sexual; and somewhat higher: love of family and country; and the highest love, Godly love that is pure and holy, given first to God and then to our fellow humans in the highest and untainted form.-a good article, not written by a Christian, can be found at www.realclearpolitics.com……4/2/13 by Dennis Prager, “The Bible vs. Heart” which I recommend every voting age American ought to at least read and think about.-IMO the human heart is flawed, and leads us into thinking and doing and believing wrong things; the Bible is God’s Perfect Standard meant to guide humanity into living a higher moral life that leads us to total Faith in God and His eternal plan for those who choose Him. -unfortunately for those who are already deep in a life chosen to practice and celebrate the sin of sodomy which God warns against in the Bible, their belief is the brainwashing from Satan who wants more humans to be in the Lake of Fire forever with him…..and to lose out on God’s eternal blessings offered freely to all humans, based on the one and only Holy Saviour, God the Son=Jesus of Nazarath, whom God the Father made the Way, the Hope and the Life. There is no other—-it is Jesus or Satan.

Prager says, “My heart, too, supports same-sex marriage. But relying on the heart alone is a terribly flawed guide to social policy. And it is the Bible that has produced all of the world’s most compassionate societies.” In other words, he would support same-sex marriage, but his reading of the Bible has made him more narrow-minded and intolerant.

" There is no other—-it is Jesus or Satan. "you’re either with us or your against us. isn’t that what got us into more than one bloody quagmires?

Chose your own translation or you will lose. Take the quote out of context or you will lose. Force your religion on others or you will lose. Take away the rights of others or you will lose. Do anything to win or you will lose. And sooner or later a bigger bully will take away your rights.
