If the old testament is relevant to modern life than doesn’t that mean that they also can not get divorced, eat shellfish, and must stone their ****** daughters?

    Paul was pretty homophobic in the New Testament, too.

  2. Old Kid

    They pick and choose what they like in the bible.

  3. The Village Atheist! xD

    Divorce is condemned in the NT too, as are homosexuals.

  4. Justin

    Why do people assume all homophobes read the bible 24/7? I know homophobes who have never read the bible.

  5. Scissor Me Timbers

    Apparently Christians need to boycott, long john silvers, red lobster, macys, other department stores, and wear only 100% fabric.

    Because they want something or someone to judge and ****. They enjoy the age-old saying “You’re going to Hell” because it makes them feel powerful by saying that.

  7. Andonikis

    they are full of fear

    It’s an interesting claim homosexuals and their apologists like to use, but it’s incorrect.

    There are more mentions of the sin of homosexuality in the New Testament than the old. Even so, that doesn’t negate the sin of ********** behavior.

    Homosexuals don’t have to like the Church’s stance on ********** acts. And the Church doesn’t have to defend it’s stand against ********** acts. Homosexuals are free to do what thousands of others have done - invent another false church.

    When someone has nothing better to do than pick on a minority I suppose any Old reference will do (with all due respect).
