Homosexuality & The Bible
Name: George
Comments: Here is a copy of an e-mail I sent a "Conservative", supposedly God fearing friend of mine.
QUOTE Earl,
Light reading for you next Bible Study class at church.
Here's a site that goes over some of the fundamentalist Christian arguments against homosexuality, and also points out some other verses the fundamentalists choose to ignore. I pulled out one of my Bibles (Yes, I have several) and double checked the chapter & verse to make sure that I, also, wasn't relying on something someone else said. You should do the same *smile*

So, the Bible puts homosexuality on the same level as eating shrimp. Based on that, I'm willing to bet that you, too, are an ABOMINATOR! Report for your stoning at once!
And remember, this is YOUR Bible. "The Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it"
To me, it points out the hypocrisy of those who pick and choose the Bible passages they like to support their hate and discrimination.
Also, it has nothing to do with homosexuality but, note that Leviticus 25:44 condones slavery, even defining where it's OK to buy slaves. It makes you wonder if the Christian fundamentalists secretly think slavery should still be OK *smile* It says your slaves should come from neighboring countries. Hey! Finally, a "Bible-approved" way to handle the illegal immigrant problem *smile*
And, for you folks that can't handle the angry, bi-polar God of the Old Testament, here's some of Jesus' thoughts on divorce and adultery from the New Testament.
Mark 10:
11 He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.
12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."
Matthew 5:
9 "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
Matthew 19:
9 "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
Luke 16:
18 "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
The last time I checked, Adultery was one of the "No-no's" in the Ten Commandments, homosexuality wasn't. Perhaps, the Christian fundamentalists would have a better chance of "Preserving the institution of marriage" by railing against DIVORCE and the ensuing ADULTERY instead of Homosexuality? No, that would never work, too many adulterous Christians *smile*
Again, by pulling out our Bibles and reading these passages ourselves, we may become a little more tolerant.
Amen

Bible and Homosexuality
I can not speak for all as I am only one person. I will admit many ignore some of the issues pointed out in this e-mail.
You need to research more. Some churches do teach divorce is sin and eating dirty meat like lobster clams and pork is bad. Some churches even go back to the time before Noah and teach to stay away from meat. Keep in mind some teaching where to keep your body clean. Back in the day Pork and such was commonly infested with worms and still is a very fatty meat high in cholesterol.
As far as being a homosexual that is your choice as far as I look at it, as is murder. Choosing to live this way or that does not make it right it is just a choice. The bible does speak clear on sin do not do it. It also says do not hate the sinner just the sin and pray they see clear.
Since you chose your path enjoy your trip and I hope in the end it works out. I will keep you in my prayers till then. Maybe I am wrong and missed out of some fleshly fun. I am willing to take that risk and will not try to force you to and I am sure you will let me plunder across my road and do the same.
Far as slaves go well I do not think, treat your fellow man as you would your self, includes that so Americans you have nothing to fear from me.
Oh have you ever found a place where Jesus in the the new testament said being homosexual was not a sin?

Title: Bible & Homosexuals
Comments: Most [..] Christians I have come across do not have a good grounding in how the issue of homosexuality fitted into the context of biblical times, Old or New Testament. Here are some resources for further study/thought:
A good source -- written by Rev. Dr. Mel White entitled, "What The Bible Says--and Doesn't Say--About Homosexuality."
Another good source:"Challenging Conventional Wisdom: How a conservative reading of the biblical references to homosexuality fail to support their traditional interpretation." Hope these will prove enlightening.
