There’s no real difference. Wrong is wrong. Fornication is wrong. Adultery is wrong. Same-sex activity is wrong. This is in order of incidence.

Guess they had to mark out some Bible verses they just could not adhere to!! Playing God is dangerous.

As someone said, countries are falling one by one by abandoning The Savior!

Yours, according to your index appears just like allah snackbars’ ...

>”If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”

ramadingdong, hala, dogma etc would be proud.

Yeah, I see it every time a 14-17 year old high school male gets caught up in the pretty female math teacher’s bedroom.

Of course, on coarse. never deviate from the heading.

If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. KJV

If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them. NASB

Note: it does not say “put them to death”

Okay, so we all die, naturally. What better way to die?

If you don’t agree with Christian doctrine that’s your business. The topic of this thread is a church which purports to be Christian abandoning doctrine.

Oh, I apologize for resisting dogma and the search for truth instead of taking the actual word of someone we have never met.

If you have some actual writings or words from the perfect themselves, please share.

Just another part of the great falling away. The false Prophets profits are leading their flocks astray.

Gay people need to apologize for being colloquial perverts and their supporters need to appologize for corrupting society in the name of evil.

Proving yet again the prescience of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America as regards state-sponsored religion. Bad enough that a religious organization holds itself out as being guided by an ancient document they clearly contravene with this statement but they also do it in the name of the state to double-down on stupid. At least the various apostate denominations that abound on this side of the pond don’t hold that power.

I've lost count of how many of us "old-timers" here on FR have said it .... it has ALWAYS been the goal of the homosexual agenda to tear down Christianity.

Period.

It was never just about "civil partnerships" or "gay marriage" it has always been about corrupting the word of God and the Church. "Normalizing" their behavior and forcing its acceptance is their end goal.

Corrupt churches and denominations are the result. To think, progressive liberals call themselves Christians and Christ followers when they are anything but.

Christ said to love the sinner, hate the sin.

Corrupting God's holy word is not loving the sinner and hating the sin. It's loving both and Satan is smiling broadly.

They have ZERO right to apologize for the biblical accuracy of their spiritual forebears.

This shell of a “church” should now celebrate Easter by breaking down the door of a likeness of Lot’s house.
