. PS it aint hate to correct sin .
Let me leave you something from the bible . The book most now overlook.
YE shall not HATE your neighbor in your heart , YOu shall in any way rebuke and correct them and not ALLOW SIN UPON THEM .
The ones who let the gays , or money lovers , or adutlerers or fornicators or drunkards
remain in their sin and wont correct , ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE THEY are the HATERS . WE better GET IN THE BIBLE
and fast my friend . cause many are being deceived by a false love big time . A love that contradicts GOD
a love that honors Sins , a love that has led them to the author of death , SATAN . learn the bible and fast .
It is hate. You are justifying your bigotry. I would love to see a Muslim talk down to you about how -you- need to come clean of your sins for Allah. Get a taste of your own medicine.

According to the Q’uran, you are a sinner. But you wouldn’t care what any other religion says while expecting others to give a damn what your book says. Can’t get anymore bigoted than that.

So now you have shown your true colors. We have here a person who is suffering from "Christianphobia". That is his "Other Faith".
Christianaphobia is like saying Hitlerphobia. You’re a bigot, case closed. You’re now whining about why I won’t tolerate your bigotry.

I don't believe in believing.
Well since the only reason you are even alive is because you are breathing air, you must believe in believing. Can you see, smell, touch, taste, or hear air as you breathe it? But you do believe (one way or another) that air is entering into your lungs and keeping you alive. So to claim that you do not believe in believing is nonsense.

Are you also suffering from hydrophobia? Hydrophobic creatures are rabid and that was a rabid remark.
The only one suffering here is you for needing a comfort story to cope with your fear of death. Go share your hate with your fundamentalist extremists.

Good riddance that wacko preacher got arrested. Bigoted Christians like him act all surprised when their intolerance is not tolerated. His followers say, “Keep preaching the word brother!” More like, keep preaching the hate.

When a Christian gets shut down for preaching homophobia and then cries persecution, it’s like Hitler crying persecution for no longer being able to gas the Jews and homosexuals.

They want to be accepted while taking a dump on LGBT and anyone else who’s not Christian. As time goes on, Christianity is growing ever more incompatible with modern society. Good luck running as a politician and saying homosexuality is a sin.

LGBT has it right: if your religion teaches you to hate, you need a new religion. The state is what allows Christianity to be at the end of the day. All it takes is for the state to start taxing the churches and it’s game over.
Accusing hate, bigotry, homophobia are old worn out cop-out tactics.

God IS Love and Love IS doing what is best for another regardless of the sacrifice.

God created man-KIND for His Pleasure.
God made man-KIND with seeds to reproduce its Same KIND of thing.
Male and Male can not reproduce.
Female and Female can not reproduce.

Teaching, Preaching Gods intent and purpose for creating and making man-KIND is simply Teaching and Preaching Gods Truth, as God Himself taught man-KIND to Teach and Preach Gods Truth, to other man-KIND.

The FACT IS;
a man-KIND of thing IS NOT accountable when he knows NOT the TRUTH, and WHEN a man-KIND of thing IS revealed the TRUTH, that man-KIND of thing becomes accountable FOR the the choices he makes,
and the consequences FOR his choices.

Be it homosexuals, anti-Christ’s, devil worshipers....or whatever “group” one wants to identify themselves with....simply boils down to the fact ...
Hearing Gods Truth is the CRUX of the matter...
Once they HEAR Gods TRUTH, their “excuse” for not knowing, and being “excused” from negative consequences...vanishes.


The TRUTH IS: It has nothing whatsoever to do with the old worn out false accusations:
Of Being Afraid of homosexuals or Hating homosexuals:
The complaint boils down to...some men DO NOT WANT to hear or BE accountable for knowing Gods TRUTH.

SURPRISE:
No “excuses”.
Every man shall Hear, Know and Be accountable.
Some SHALL, by the Power of God Live forever in Peace and Comfort.
Some SHALL, by the Power of God be Destroyed and Forgotten.

Seems you advocate FOR the latter; For men to “leave alone and forget about homosexuals”.

Rev 4:
[11] Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Glory to God,
Taken

The FACT is, your religion teaches you to hate and your God is just as bad if not worse than Hitler with the amount of genocide in the Bible.

You’re a fundamentalist, Bible thumping extremist who has perverted Jesus’ teachings so you can further spew your hate and prejudice against gay people. You guys are slowly getting phased out in modern society, losing at every corner both politically and socially.

The one who’s godless and evil, is you. You have weaponized the Bible to fit your facist and hateful narrative.

You posting some obscure quote of some preacher I have never heard of AS IF he is the official spokesman for Christianity, is disingenuous.

So some guy thinks homosexuals should be lined up before a firing squad...AND the author of the Article stating that is Biblical...

Really? Where is the Biblical Quote that says such a thing?

I believe he's talking about I think it's in Deuteronomy where if two men are found having intercourse they are to be killed (cannot recall the exact words). Many believers who are not taught correctly (and others who do not understand God's word) may get confused at this and think that this is what Christians are supposed to do *now*. That is incorrect. Israel was formed on earth by God as a representation of heaven where no evil was to exist; Israelites were, as members of a theocratic nation, to drive out any and all kinds of evil either by punishment or death: heaven will be a place of no evil and Israel was supposed to parallel that as close as it can on earth by having these laws in place and carrying out the punishments when these laws were transgressed.

Israel is the church now and it is not a theocratic nation. It is made up of all people of all kinds across all the earth; thus, there can be no laws which govern a geographic location in Israel the church anymore (members of the church are to abide by moral laws--as well as the civil laws which do not transgress God's moral laws--and may come under church discipline should those laws be transgressed). We are to look at Jesus now for clarification of what God will have us do and He clearly taught us to LOVE our enemies. NOT to kill them. Vengeance is the Lord's. Even if the crime is one against a civil law, let alone those which make up God's moral laws found in His word, we are not to seek to kill anyone, in the idea of carrying out justice, by our own hands. That is to be left to the magistrates (and if it is a brother or sister in the church that is found guilty of a heinous sin and won't repent--as Jesus taught in Matt 18, they are to be excommunicated from the church, not put to death).

When God returns to this earth, there will be no evil, no sin. HE is the one who will mete justice to the transgressors. All who are not in Christ, who are not covered by His righteousness which He procured for his people by His sacrifice on Calvary, all those will suffer the second death. God will rid the evil from the land. We are not to take part in that physically here on this earth. Rather we are to show others the love of Jesus and sacrifice for our enemies, pray for them, and above do not do them any harm (God has forbidden murder and if we go out and kill homosexuals because they are violating God's law, that would be murder and a transgression against God's law).

@dhh712 ~

Hi, thank you for your input, but I highly doubt the other poster had any clue to a Scriptural reference or understanding of context.

While the Federal Laws were initially and are “supposed” to be paralleled with Biblical Standards and Principles and limited by the US Constitution...
Israelites/Mosaic Law governed over (Hebrews, Tribes, Israelites) the “precepts” of men regarding behaviors between and among men....including “moral” behaviors.

The “precepts” found primarily scattered within the 600+ Mosaic Laws, ARE typically taught and preached under (SOME, but not all of ) the Christianity Religions. Do’s and Don’t’s and REBUKING “immoral” behaviors.

Neh 9 gives us the introduction to the THREE inclusions in Mosaic Law...
Neh 9:
[14] And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:

Each has a different meaning, which I doubt most know the Three or their different meanings.
* Statute is typically Written by an authoritative body/group. Ie Congress...
...Scripturally God personally wrote the Ten Commandments, (Moses Broke the Tablets, then had to re-write them...chisel in stone.)
* Laws are typically lists of Rules, Written or Verbal, by an authoritative body, sometimes called Rules, sometimes called Common Law, or By-laws...(Congress, Legislators, Associations, Schools, Teachers, Parents, etc.)
* Precepts are typically “regulatory”. Intended to regulate acceptable and unacceptable behaviors between and among men.

Jesus touch’s on Behavior between and among men, but does not identify his teaching is falling under the term “precept”. Jews would have already been familiar with that understanding.

Hebrews / Tribesmen were expressly Set apart, chosen to Be teachers of Gods Word. First to their own kinsmen and then the world...eh...failed.

However the bottom line is every person has opportunity to Learn the Truth according to Gods TRUTH, believe it, follow it, or not...ie Freewill.
And multiple warnings ARE rendered in Scripture to BEWARE of FALSE preachers....Verify everything.
REBUKE, if that succeeds, you have gained a brother.
REBUKE, if that fails, separate yourself From them.

That “preacher” referenced in the printed article is Whacked.
Jesus Did not Teach to put a bullet in a mans head because you disagree with him. Guns and Bullets..in Scripture...ha!

God Bless,
Taken

So what is your biggest problem with the Bible, @Romanov2488? God had set things up between a man and a woman.

He had in mind what is right for us as human beings. People can choose to be gay man with man or woman with woman. Even some people try out to be Polyarmous, but things like this normally cause problems, and probably have some type of emptiness with-in them. The great news today, is that Jesus Christ has rectified sin - however people suffer from what they reap and sow. That can be from the flesh or by the spirit.


13 “If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense. Leviticus 20:13,

This was a law given to the Nation of Israel - the Gentile world outside of this place - did not live by any Law.

Even though Christians are not executing the gays now, they sure as hell are calling for it. Nothing wrong with calling for the execution of a group of people I assume?

I personally do not care if people are gay or not, because of the Lord Jesus Christ and what he has established today - conquering over sin, death, satan and his angels, sheol.


If you are gay yourself @Romanov2488, I would still tell you that hey that is all fine, do you know what Jesus Christ has done for you though? He has given you the ability to be able to talk with God through prayer if you believe on his death, burial, and resurrection which is totally a choice you have to make on your own if you will have faith on what Jesus had done not only for you but the whole world. God is not mad or angry at you, because Jesus Christ has taken care of everything but if you want to seek God out in faith that is your choice of course.

Amazing things friend.

Well, it’s about to be 2023 and modern society is not going to tolerate such bigotry which is why the same sex marriage bill has been passed in the U.S. The state can easily outlaw Christianity if it wanted to. We have separation of church and state for a reason.

Tell me, if the Bible called for cutting off your nose, would you do it? Word of God. Ahhh you won’t do that, but you would whole heartedly embrace the hate towards a group of people such as the gays. Pastors are calling for the execution of gay people, man. Why are your people wanting to murder gay people? Why are Christians such hateful people?

The news just blows people up who say stupid stuff... That won't happen in America... but there are extremist who believe EVERYTHING IN the Bible NEEDS TO BE HAPPENING NOW TODAY or whatever.

It's human beings, making choices, and saying things and in America they have the freedom to say things, but its not the Wild West days of hanging bad guys on the neck stretcher.

Human beings will hold on the extermist ideas, and I think we are called to love everyone as Christians.

dO I need to know what a person does between the other lover though? No.

I believe I would allow people who are gay if they wanted to come visit the church but we aren't gonna make the focus on "they are gay"...

they can come, just like muslim or buddist to come here the word of God for an hour or so, then we pray and go on about our lives.

For GOd is the judge and he looks at the hearts of individuals.

If WHAT man? And put to death BY WHOM?

“MY Book”, says many things according to CONTEXT about Particular men...

The “supposed” Pastor you mention IS posing as a Christian, What does that have to do with ancient Hebrew Law God Gave to Hebrews, Tribesmen and Jews?

You present yourself as being a US citizen, does that somehow mean Chinese Laws apply to you?

Context! It’s called RIGHTLY dividing the Word of Truth.

1 Tim 2:
[15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Attempting to apply Scripture to something it does Not apply to IS disingenuous .
That “so called preacher” is a disingenuous bag of wind.
Citing a Hebrew/Jewish law ... is one thing...
What about, the trial, WHAT court was to preside?
Who according to Hebrew/Jewish law, was to carry out an execution?
What exactly was the METHOD to carry out an Hebrew/Jewish execution?
