None of it matters--any time the result is homosexual acts, it is condemned, no matter how scrambled your brain is when you do it.

Nope: 1. God told the Israelites to wipe the nations in Canaan out for violating laws against homosexuality, among other things (Leviticus 18), proving the Law contains not only commands that are particular to Jews, but also universal laws (eg, "Do not commit idolatry" applies to Gentiles as...

Any kind of homosexuality--any time a man lies with another man to have sex, it is a violation of God's Law.

You don't know anything about Scripture. You are at war with the God of Scripture. That's why you mangle God's Word--and you will pay a penalty.

In the context of Hebrews, it explicitly states that what was wrong with it was that animal blood could not take sins away, but Christ's blood can.

Believers are not under the Law as the means of righteousness because they died with Christ (the Law applies only to the living Jew (Ro 7:1)), and are now under the Spirit of Grace as the means of righteousness, and by the Spirit of Grace, that means of righteousness under Whose authority we are...

Who cares? He did say the man who lies with another man is to be put to death. His sentiments are clear, and the matter is closed.

"Thou shalt not be homophobic"--nothing the God of Israel ever said. You are serving another god, with completely foreign commandments.

OK, but, again, you're begging the question--ie, "God has a God" and "God having God as His Father" is only "ridiculous" under your assumptions. I'm actually open to those potential conclusions, how ever they might challenge my perspectives. I'm also open to rejecting them if they are not the...

Okay, I read it again: as was stated, it is the narrator saying Jesus was making Himself equal with God. Same thing Paul said in Philippians 2. Your conclusion is reached by ignoring evidence. I'm not going to do that. I'd rather not claim to have an answer when there are facts that complicate...

John 5 18For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God. The narrator is saying that by Jesus saying what He was saying He was making Himself equal...

Maybe it's nothing, but we certainly see a lot of bowing down and worshipping going on in the Book of Revelation... but the Lord Jesus is not bowing but being bowed to.

1. We're discussing the Bible, so we have to stick to the Bible. 2. "Proskuneo" was an act a man did in the passages I raised, it wasn't an "address" or "title". 3. As far as making a firm conclusion: you're not in control, and I'm more than happy to go before God (on this issue) and ask for...

For someone who does not want people to think He is God, Christ, at the very least, plays around with that distinction quite a bit... he lets a man "worship" him, he says "I am", says men should honor the Son as they honor the Father, and doesn't correct Thomas when he calls Christ "God".

I don't know that your interpretation is trustworthy here. You have to give me some examples. OK, but the entire discussion is on whether Christ is to be considered "God", in some sense, so you cannot simply presuppose the correctness of your view, and then say, "See why my view is correct...
