Homosexuality and the bible: Round 2 - morality.

Homosexuality is an inversion of the sexuality established by God to meet his purpose of 'fruitful and multiply'.

First a question. Why would you suppose that the God of the OT changes his mind and rules when the page is turned and it is now the NT?

I don't quite get that, but that is o.k. Is it ok to kill, commit adultery, steal? No!

"Have you not read that........made them male and female........Matt. 19:4-5; Mark 10:6-7

"Be not deceived........1Cor.6:9-10; again 1Tim.1:9-10; Rom 1:26-27, 29 --- and then take it from there, really, you need the process that only your very own research provides.

PG writes:as I suspected most of the people here would do .... is dismiss my NT bible references (except for one still small voice) on this issue. You did exactly as you are supposed to do and said exactly what I knew you would.......think you are unique, don't you?

The creature dickers with the creator on what the creator deems the proper management of the creature. The creature, in its estimation, is very qualified to know what is good for it - and goes on its merry pursuit of destruction.

Jeez, you are dense. Keep up the good work, folks.

Lam writes:Let's start with Leviticus. Leviticus 18:22 states, "you shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such a thing is an abomination."Leviticus is, of course, old testament. Most Christians these days ignore the majority of the teachings in the old testaments for obvious reasons: they're considered outdated to our moral standards today.Leviticus 21:9 states, "A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death."Now really, do you think, with our modern sense of morality, that we can ever justify burning someone alive?Leviticus 12:4-5 states, "and then she shall spend thirty-three days more in becoming purified of her blood; she shall not touch anything sacred nor enter the sanctuary till the days of her purification are fulfilled. If she gives birth to a girl, for fourteen days she sahll be as unclean as at her menstruation, after which she shall spend sixty-six days in becoming purified of her blood."Ok, to plainly put it, these verses forbids a woman from entering church for 42 days after giving birth. The Catholic church has completely ignored this verse as far as creating their policies go. To our moral standards today, the notion of a woman somehow "unclean" for 42 days after giving birth is absurd.Leviticus 25:44 states, "Slaves, male and female, you may indeed possess, provided you buy them from among the neighboring nations."Leviticus 25:45, 46 states, "You may also buy them from among the aliens who reside with you and from their children who are born and reared in your land. Such slavesyou may own as chattels, and leave to your sons as their hereditary property, making them perpetual slaves. But you shall not lord it harshly over any of the Israelites, your kinsmen."These verses clearly justify slavery, given that slaves are bought from neighboring states. Verse 25:46 clearly states that slaves are property.During the 18th and 19th centuries, many Americans used these verses to justify slavery in this country. In other words, Leviticus was used to justify one of the darkest and most embarrassing part of our history.Let us go back to Leviticus 18:22. If we think that this part of Leviticus in the old testament holds for our modern morality, then why not the other verses that I mentioned above? The verses that I mentioned above are only a few of the examples from the old testament where our modern sense of morality condemns as immoral.If Leviticus 18:22 is the only thing that is telling you that homosexuality is wrong, I hope that you rethink about your position on the issue.
