If that were the case then why all the rule making about polygamy?First I'm hearing of it.
He probably thought the Garden Of Eden, Abraham, Joseph, etc. stories would get the point across well enough.
well aren't you colorful todayI know that much of that's just mythology to skeptics but I think Moses was pretty serious about it. I usually try my best to explain this stuff in great detail to folks who are interested. And by "interested" I don't mean the social media equivalent of "looking for a good place to deposit some bodily waste."
and what were those?What do you think the children of Israel would have done if God had straightened out all the wicked curves they picked up in Egypt?
Just not your own.No, I just have this remarkably superhuman ability to recognize patterns of discussion.

I support civil rights...do you think that makes me black?So admit it. Clearly that's why you are obsessed with promoting the LGBTQ hallway to Hell.
Some insults and no response to the actual post. Recognizing any patterns?
Are you Matt Dillahunty?
'Cause I think you are -lol.
Either you think someone out there knows why God does everything He does or you sincerely want to see people lose their faith in Him. I don't see any third way. But, then, I'm not your judge and you have to be free to follow the dictates of your conscience as you are convicted by God himself.
So why do you think people have to clean themselves up before they can come to Jesus for peace and rest?
That seems like a much bigger concern to me than isolated objections to God's strategies and tactics—maybe even a third way.

I hope you decided homosexual acts ARE sinful. Leviticus 18:22 makes that quite clear.According to my current reading of the Bible using First-Order Logic, yes homosexual acts are sinful. As usual, I could be wrong. FOL isn't the be-all and end-all. I am not a prophet of the Lord.
Leviticus 18:
Leviticus 20:
Romans 1:
1 Corinthians 6:
NIV Footnotes: [a] The words men who have sex with men translate two Greek words that refer to the passive and active participants in homosexual acts.
1 Timothy 1:
Jude 1:
1 Corinthians 7:
Are homosexual acts sinful?
For each of the above passages, list the pros and cons factors. Be exhaustive and objective in listing the factors. Then for each factor, assign a weight between 0 and 10. I would put a higher weight on Bible verses and a lower weight on extra-biblical writings. Try not to let your preconceived notions influence your weighting. Do this for all the pros and cons for all the passages, Sum up the weights for the pros. Sum up the weights for the cons. Decide for yourself probabilistically.
I use Occam's razor as one of the hermeneutic tools when I interpret Bible verses. Each of the above passages can be explained away by some ad-hoc nuance as referring to a man having sex with a temple prostitute, or a man having sex with a boy, or men having sex with angelic beings, etc. However, there is a simple unifying explanation: it is talking about a man having sex with another man, consented or not. This simple explanation satisfies all 7 passages nicely. To me, this simple unifying factor is worthy of a heavy weight.

it is your typical responseAll the stuff you're whining about
I'm not above exhibiting patterns.
Why are you pointing out "insults" and "non-responses?"
it is your typical response
I'd respond but it would probably be interpreted as whiningI really don't think so, do you?
I guess I'll leave you alone for a while, anyway.

You're avoiding your own question, "are you gay?"I support civil rights...do you think that makes me black?
I don't want you to continue your road to Hell!your posts say something different
You need to stop ! The bible condemns all sexual activity outside of a marriage between a man and woman. If any of these "tools of logic" would lead you somewhere else, you need to reject that.According to my current reading of the Bible using First-Order Logic, yes homosexual acts are sinful. As usual, I could be wrong. FOL isn't the be-all and end-all. I am not a prophet of the Lord.

no. what would you do if I were?You're avoiding your own question, "are you gay?"
Just a little humor since you LGBT's constantly attack the Christian Bible.Why?
All the 'gay' people I have know have been very nice people and some were good friends too.
