Is homosexuality incompatible with Scripture, or is using the Bible against LGBTQ+ people an abuse of Scripture?

Bible says that homosexuals should be put to death, but are you a religious man?

I think it’s a problem to lecture anyone about religion that didn’t ask for your opinion

[Asker]

I have found that people freely give their opinion about this topic all of the time without being asked...

[strateguy632]

if that would be A REAL policy for most issues but people say their opinions about sports and more topics despite unsolicited, so this too same.

God's word clearly condemns MALE homosexuality. The only place that I know of that comes close to referencing FEMALE homosexuality is near the end of Romans chapter 1. I've read a book that says it's actually condemning ANAL intercourse between a man and a woman, just as it's forbidden between two men. Most churches say that it is forbidding lesbianism. I don't know who's right. For men it's very clearly forbidden. For women it's ambiguous.

[strateguy632]

an interpretation needs to be similar to the words it interprets so romans about women is not refering to a man partner.

Homosexuality is incompatible with Christianity. If Scripture is applied in opposition to homosexuality, it is applied to acts, not people. Judge the sin, not the sinner. And for the record, discernment and disagreement are not "hate".

[strateguy632]

they think love means agree. idiots.

There's a passage in there that says, "Through the creation of Adam and Eve, God gave birth to the human race. But the Devil, jealous of God's creation, sought to destroy it. Thus, the Devil created the gay, as a man and man cannot procreate."

[strateguy632]

the bible said, "and the devil spake unto joseph and said behold i have no horns". nope.

[strateguy632]

neither. it is a sin like any temptation. not incompatible.
but the real evil is those evil prosecuters "using" state laws against those shop lifters. that is abuse.
sarcasm.

The Bible is against sin. All people sin. Straight people commit sin every day with impure thoughts.

I'm not defending homosexuality or condoning it. All I'm saying is you can't judge someone for being gay if you're a Christian and then turn around and commit a sin. Straight up, you are no better.

So the way I look at it is their sexuality is between them and God, not me.

You know only humans are sexually perverted. You don't see male animals fucking other male animals. But to answer your question, all gays and lesbians will all end up in Hell. Along with all liars, fornicators, thiefs, murders, drunkards, and so on.

so they bult a nest and put a rock in it... seems as delusional as mental illness not nature.

According to the Bible adulterers should be stoned to death. Why should gays get special treatment?

[Asker]

A lot of politicians should be dead right now...

It’s called spitting facts wether you hurt someone’s fragile ego or not

[Charliefretz329]

It’s discouraged as is all sin. And we’re all sinners. Luckily it can be forgiven.

The answer to both questions is "yes."

[Asker]

Can you elaborate?

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, I believe that the Bible condemns homosexuality. But the Bible also teaches us to not judge others.

[Asker]

How do you do both? This is so confusing!

[Opinion Owner]

The fact that you think someone else is doing something wrong doesn’t mean you need to go tell them that you disapprove. God judges us but we do not judge each other. I will focus on my own flaws.
