Romans 1:25-27, 29
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their list for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
This passage is widely used to condemn homosexuality. I...
Ezekiel 16:46-50
48 As I live says the Lord God, neither your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done. 49 Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: she and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away...
are these posts good, or annoying you?
Hopefully you’re enjoying my little foray into scripture. Sorry if it’s bothering you.
Deuteronomy 22:23-24
23 If a young woman who is a virgin is betrothed to a husband, and a man finds her in the city and lies with her, 24 Then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones, the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he humbled his neighbor’s wife; so you shall put away the evil from among you.
Well, I...
Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
Now don’t get all uppity. I already discussed that abomination is used interchangeably with unclean, and gay sex isn’t the pillar of sanitary.
It is likely, that they shall surely be put to death however, not because they...
Leviticus 11:12, 22
12 Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales — that shall be an abomination to you.
The bible uses abomination and unclean interchangeably. Leviticus goes back and forth between calling things unclean and abominations, almost as synonyms. Abomination in this sense is not what the word suggests.
22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.
Abomination is...
Leviticus 11:7-8
7 And the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. 8 Their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall not touch. They are unclean to you.
This is understandable, Leviticus is merely stating that swine are unclean. You wouldn’t eat or touch dirty things right? No big deal. They didn’t have the same culinary or...
Leviticus 11:1
1 Now the lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying…”
This is what precedes Leviticus’ guidlines as to what is an abomination/unclean, etc. The children of Israel are priests, as Leviticus referred to them earlier.
Leviticus 1
Makes it apparent that Leviticus was written as a cleanliness guide intended for priests, not Christians in general. This is made apparent with the continued references to Aaron’s sons, who are both priests, and the children of israel aka-priests.
Genesis 38:9-10
9 But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did displeased the Lord; and therefore He killed him also.
This piece of scripture was commonly used to condemn masturbation, because the Lord condemned the emitting of his semen...
Genesis 19:1-38 (the story of Sodom)
There is no mention of what previous sins were committed in Sodom to warrant the angels’ appearance in the city. Also, the men in the story were committing adultery, which is the sin, not homosexuality.
*the sins that caused the angels appearance is addressed in Ezekiel 16:46-50 which is coming up later

I started to make poor choices, then made poorer ones by avoiding them with no tact at all. Hopefully this all goes away in the morning. FML

My fellow Americans, the state of our union is … well, quite wretched at the moment. As president, I owe you that honesty and candor.
It would be bad enough that we’re stuck in an endless war against vicious terrorists or that we’ve just been through a financial crisis that wiped out a quarter of our wealth and left one in six adults without a job or underemployed, to say...
