((I even found evidence that the Bible is, in fact, not against homosexuality!
It may be the weapon we need to defeat bigots and homophobes.))

Matthew 7:1
1"Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2"For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.β¦
Luke 6:37
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Luke 6:41
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
John 8:7
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."
Romans 2:1
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
Romans 14:10
You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
Romans 14:13
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.
James 4:11
Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.

If people stopped wearing cotton blends and eating shellfish, the state of Louisiana would be bankrupt within a year.

I went to work with a guy who had a bunch of Leviticus verses tattooed on his arm.Β

Lipizzaner-Kgirl is hardly a good example of a person with a functional brain. However, she is a role model for idiots <3
Why shouldn't Christians bring up Leviticus? Jesus said that the old rules are just as valid as the new rules (Matthew 5:18-19). So you better stop eating shellfish or you'll BURN IN HELLFIRE FOR ALL TIMES!!!

Leviticus is hardly a good example of what modern-day Christianity should look like. The New Testament (such as Romans) does address homosexuality, so why do Christians keep bringing up Leviticus? It annoys me so much.

Didn't Jesus say the old rules were just as valid as the new ones(for the most part)?
π: 0 β©: 1
Before he died, yes. Before the Final Sacrifice (Jesus's death) there were no new rules.

Christians say Homosexuality is wrong but the Bible says Jesus was nailed by a Roman Soldier.

It may be nearly a year after this comment....but you made me spit out my drink and laugh, thanks XD

Wow. It took three times reading that comment to understand that pun. I guess I'm still pretty innocent when it comes to that stuff.Β

It took me five.

You still have a lot to learn.

Wow, Leviticus sounds like it doesn't care about human rights and something agienst people with skin problems.
π: 0 β©: 1
The whole bible is like this... sadlyΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
I see that a lot. I don't like how they sell indulgences to make money off of people for some fear of hell.
π: 0 β©: 1
Plus, to make things dumber, Leviticus is basically the specific part of the OT Christianity is -supposed- to ignore.Β And if I recall, Leviticus specifically calls it an abomination...the same words used to describe things like eating shellfish, so it might not exactly be a condemn you to hell admonishment even there.

Sometimes I feel like I'll never live long enough to see no more of this ****, but then again, we still have racism in this day and age.

I suppose Leviticus should also be read carefully, because I'm pretty certain that God said that these "rules" were to be told to the Israelites before the long list. If Christians want to read it literally, then they should learn to read it right, in context,, and even if Homosexuality was directly implied for Leviticus, it was ONLY implied to the people of Israel.

I love how some Fundies use spin to say the old testament doesn't count any longer and then get bent out of shape when people try and remove ten commandment displays from government buildings...

THANK YOU!!!
I tried saying that and they responded "you're taking it out of context" or "that was only a current time thing"

How can you take the bible out of context? The bible has no context to begin with.
π: 0 β©: 2
It has context, rules for living successfully as a desert nomad before the invention of...much of anything.Β Having studied the origins of the OT, especially the laws set out, most had practical intents or thoughts behind them (I said most.Β Even my teacher, theologist as she was, didn't have a clue about mixing fibers).

But how can Celts and Germanics be converted with that pork rule? Pork is too delicious to give up for some cool kids' club from down south. Ancient Irish Brehon law even mentions the use of pigmeat as tribute.

If you ask me, nothing is a sin, because sin doesn't exist.
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't believe that sin exists either. This is mainly a message to people out there that are still Christians and believe that sin exists; I'm trying to expose the failure in logic that exists in their Biblical argument against homosexuality.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, most Christians choose those Bible verses that fit their personal opinion and forget about those they don't like.
Thanks for the llama, by the way, have one back.

Well, like the title says, I don't think many Christians have actually read the Bible.Β

Religion has historically been a cancer to all egalitarian thought. It used to be women, and blacks, and now that they lost that battle they cling to homophobia.
π: 0 β©: 0
What's funny is that a lot of Christians try to explain this away by saying that this verse is literal and should be applied, but all the other parts are Old Testament laws that apply only to Jews.Β And by funny I mean stupid.

I've never read the bible, so excuse my ignorance if I get this wrong...
But isn't hating other people a sin?
π: 0 β©: 3
Yes it is technically.
π: 0 β©: 0
That, I do not know, but I wasn't actually saying that homosexuality is a sin. I was debunking the argument that homosexuality is a sin. A lot of people take lines out of Leviticus to try and prove a point without knowing of all the other ridiculous things written in Levitcus that nobody follows. I wasn't trying to hate on anyone, but I guess the argument I was trying to make had the opposite effect than what I intended.

No, I got what you meant. I was just saying something else that was kinda sorta related.
