Turning Sodom into a smoking crater isn’t condemnation?
Did you read the article?
Well obviously not. Duh.
LOL

Excellent post.
Bad title, but excellent post.

Jesus did specify that pedophiles should get the death penalty.
He also.never said Jewish law, which condemns homosexual conduct, was wrong in any particular.
Oh, please.
Homosexuality is unnatural, unChristian and just plain wrong. It’s not hard.
The immature are very talented at “parsing words.” Remember being told, “I better not catch you doing XXXX.” You and your friends interpreted as “I can XXXX as long as I don’t get caught.
The people looking for justification for sinful behavior are immature. If they were emotionally mature and still wanted to practice the behavior, they would simply do it without regard to justification.
Read the article.

Jesus seemed to have removed the dietary laws and the ban on associating with gentiles, both in Acts Chap 10.

Freedom not Sodom!
There's freedom in America, the land of the red white and blue; but there still must be laws, things you just can't do.
You can't marry your sister, your brother, or the family pet; a sheep, or a goat - at least not yet!
That how is it with homosexuality, what the Bible calls sodomy; men lying with men as with women, is perversity!
That they're not designed that way, tis easy to perceive, but yielding to sinful desires, man is soon deceived.
A moral wrong is not a civil right; like the sin itself, that's confusion; calling evil good and exchanging light for darkness, is sure delusion!
History tells us where this will lead, from societies now in dust, When a nation casts off the laws of God, and follows it's own lusts.
Promoting a sin which sends one to Hell from an early grave, dishonors God and robs man of the Life He gave.
There's but one answer: the Risen Jesus gave Himself for our sins; Repent and believe, then truly follow Him! _______________________________________________________________
Gal. 6:18 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Rom. 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. 1Cor. 6:9-11 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

I pointed those scriptures to a coworker of mine. He said he wasn’t a Christian. Those were rules for us, not him. I stopped arguing right then and there.
Jesus Christ is God incarnate. His name is The Word of God.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
The people already had the Old Testament. They already knew what God had said about immorality and sexual sins, including homosexuality.
God made man and women uniquely compatible and complimentary, in more ways than the physical aspect, and only joined them in marriage. (Gn. 2:18-24; Mt. 19:3-5) Homosexual unions are condemned by God in the Scriptures by design and decree, in principle and in precept.
However, some of the first Christians were likely former homosexuals, (1Cor. 6:9-11) and there is room at the cross for all who want the Lord Jesus over sin, and believe upon Him to save them who died for them, and rose again. And who thus are baptized and follow Him, to the glory of God.
The polygamists say that the LORD Jesus Christ also condoned serial adultery...
Nothing like an ill worded title to bring out the non-article reading Freepers. :>)
Homosexuality succeeded in certain societies. Eg. Greece & Rome.
It did not succeed in countries such as Judea and other countries that were small enough to not become despotic.
Islam was against Homosexuality but under Mohamed that started to change (very quickly).
Matthew 5:17
