+1 yThe Bible actually does not say being gay is wrong. It simply says the act of sleeping with the same sex is looked down upon. God created everyone in His image, including gay people. Given this, many gay christians become ministers and priests as they know it’s wrong to act on their sexual urges.
Also, The Bible never says to hate anyone. It says Love Thy Neighbour and don’t judge. If any homophobic uses The Bible as their excuse, then they clearly don’t know The Bible very well. All they can really say is that they agree that sleeping with the same sex is unnatural. But it doesn’t mean they hate hay people.31 Reply- +1 y

God did not make LGBTQ , so no he can’t love such group when he didn’t create it.

Men and women were built by him to create and populate the world. That whole entire group inhibits from creating possible life, which God did not stand for things that stop the creation of life which also includes abortion and birth control and anything that eliminates your ability to create and populate the earth. There is a reason why two men or two women can’t create life and it is simply for the fact that god is against it, but that doesn’t make being homophobic correct because the Bible also says that you should not judge either

Nothing I have said is judgmental at all. I didn’t say I hated the community , never once. I said God does not accept being gay as it inhibits creation of life. They used to create in very quickly back then. You throw around the word judgmental so loosely. Never did I judge them. They can do what they please as I choose to be a straight female like god says I should be

“I am going off of a book that you don’t know” isn’t this conversation about the Bible in the first place? So if you don’t believe it, why on earth are you even here? Ridiculous of you to butt in on a conversation about the Bible when you don’t believe in it.

That’s on you, be can choose to do whatever they want in life, as people can choose to be gay. My explanation is that people can be gay but that doesn’t give others a right for others to judge and be homophobic so yes that answered your question entirely
- +1 y
People that are homophobic because the “Bible tells them to” is using it as a crutch. So what you wanted to hear then ultimately is that God accepts all , which is not the truth.
- +1 y
If he accepted all then that means he would have to accept rapists, murderers , pedophiles etc

That makes absolutely no sense what so ever. Neither is your assumption that he is a murderer
612 opinions shared on Religion & Spirituality topic. The bible don't say gay is bad anyway. The translation for little boys was changed to Man. So now it sounds like Man shouldn't lay with man but it's supposed to say Man shouldn't lay with little boys. Either way this brings up a lot of problems like ok but man should lay with little girls since it only mentions little boys. Otherwise why not mention girls.

That’s not what the Bible says. The Bible says it is wrong to lay with a man, but you shall not judge others that do 😊

I have a christian mother who say's the same on this, and a johava witness as a friend who is pretty open minded not the cult type people mention and has read the bible of all different versions and knows pretty much everything to do with it. Also agrees. But also in the bible there is a guy who say's men with short hair are a disgrace to men. So i wouldn't take it seriously at all lol

The Bible says thou not judge anyone, but it also says God looks down upon people that sleep with the same gender. So the point is, being homophobic. The Bible is all about the stuff that you choose to do in life basically lies on yourself only. If you choose to judge, you are just as bad as the man sleeping with another man

Um no, I said that translators that are unbiased would not make an article that circles around Christianity, they would include absolutely no religion at all if it was meant for anyone on the outside of that. “I was head thinking people couldn’t get more dumb” you just admitted that even atheists believe it when atheists don’t even believe in god!!!

Your worlds translator is a Christian that is literally translating it so you can translate it to however you want to translate it. That’s what Christians do. If it wasn’t a Christian oriented translation, they wouldn’t have included religion and it would be proven without the need to mention religion. They translated that way to push people to continue to sin. This world is ran by the devil

"The ambiguous word is often translated 'sodomites' but there's no equivalent in Greek or Hebrew," said Mary Rose D'Angelo, a biblical scholar at Notre Dame. "The word means something like 'softy' and refers to liking sex too much."
Even assuming that Paul is referring to homosexuality in these passages, there is dispute about exactly what he's condemning and why.
"Many scholars think that Paul is arguing against grown men having sex with adolescent boys and/or against men who are forced into the non-dominant position," said Kelly Murphy, a biblical scholar at Central Michigan University. "Of course, these ideas are clearly related to the idea of gender held in the ancient world: men were superior to women, and it would be shameful for a man to act like a woman." - +1 y
Romans 1:26-27
New International Version
26 Because of this, God gave them over (A) to shameful lusts.(B) Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.(C) 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. - +1 y

@Jlegacy Go argue with the professional translators not me. Also just aside not the other cultures at the time, like romans didn't give a care about if your gay or not longs if your dom one so a bit weird that jews/Christians would just adopt out of nowhere this belief of gay is bad when the cultures around it didn't really have that kinda belief at all. But eh like i said argue with historians and translators not me because i am just repeating what there info shows.
- +1 y
I have the original Hebrew and Greek rendition. I don't just study the English translation. I could have been gay myself or semi gay but thank God I never went off that edge. So I don't hate them. I just know what the word says and no one should try moving it around to fit your life style.
- +1 y
That's a deflection of question not a answer. But okay even taking that into a theory one could say the evidence of it saying Young boys instead of man, is that guidance coming through. So we come to a dumb argument of anything can happen and all future corrections of the bible translations could just be that.
- +1 y
If God appeared to you and said don't lie, don't steal, don't kill but you can fuck a man won't you run from that God.
Wouldn't you ask Him why He made it possible for sexual intimacy with a woman to be so natural and that of man to man so unnatural. You see the butt hole, it has no pleasure spots for sex. And you get it ruptured, you could have a life time problem.
As someone who has been bent before and is now straight, respect the bible. It is the wisest book and you see the king james, trust it. The only things not properly translated there are revelational things.

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yNo it is not because the bible says you , yourself should not be gay but you should also not judge others. Judging others in the book is an added on sin. So you personally shouldn’t be gay as according to the Bible, women and men were created to be with each other BUT you shall also not judge others that choose to do so.
