Excellent post! LGBT folks also say it's not loving to criticize their lifestyle, confusing love with indulgence. Is it love to give a drug addict clean needles and provide him with heroin when you know it'll kill him?

exactly, and many of them have an entirely incorrect view on the human condition

John isn't a Christian.

Correct, he uses Christian terminology, and defines christianity differently than what its meaning is

Hey! Just a heads up, I refuted every point you made in the article itself. They do not hold up to scrutiny. Part 2 comes out next week where I address the sexuality objection as well. Thanks for reading!

I understand the claim, but it doesn't change the meaning of the text itself. The word homosexual is a word we are trying to use to convey a meaning about something in the text.

The Bible is talking about the act, without qualification, at the natural creation level, in all of the texts, half of which I've covered already, the other half I will cover next week. Even if we deleted 1 Cor and 1 Tim, you still need to account for Genesis, Romans 1, Leviticus, Sodom, Jude 7, 2 Peter 2:6-8, and Jesus own affirmation of the entire old testament + equating it as God's word.

The Bible is saying: it is sin to reject the natural order God has designed for marriage and pro-creation, and it must be repented of. We can call it whatever we want, but thats what its referring to.

Claims do not become subjective because they are made by people without degrees. Claims become false when they are demonstrated to be false. I've demonstrated in just this article alone, that the Bible, and Jesus (who wrote the Bible at the ultimate level) condemns homosexuality in itself, and that the "scholarly" interpretations are not only logically wrong, they come pre-baked with many unbiblical assumptions anyway.

The average man is not accepting of this artful lies anymore. Keep turning us off. We’re going to eliminate gay marriage and a whole lot of other gay practices. We’ve had it.

No matter what translation one uses or what Yale professor theorizes, it is crystal clear what God intended for a marriage & family unit to consist of.

To entertain any other notion is simply man's dishonest twisting of scriptures to enable sin and to bring confusion, such as Satan confused Eve by twisting The Word.

There's several passages about any & all unnatural sex being wicked, lewdness, throughout the entire Bible.

Here's just one that even the most ardent of New-Ager would not have difficulty recognizing the sentiment being brought forth: “Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.” Romans 1:27

No thank you. Just not my cup of tea. I think everyone who has lived during the past 5 years has already heard about all the variables and nuances from the numerous genders, identities, preferences etc.
