Next year’s Catholic World Youth Day in Brazil should prove to be very interesting. ;-)

[the invisib1e hand]

bwahahahahahahahaha! but I’ll bet they have illustrated how-to manuals in the elementary schools.

If the House of Pray Christian Church wanted to really be provocative, they could have quoted another scripture in Leviticus which proscribes the proper method to deal with homosexual acts.

I'm sure this plays a role in why Brazil was selected.

[Blind Eye Jones]

This is part of a bigger picture. Deviant sexual behavior was openly practiced during pagan times. And today we’re reverting back to those times. Paganism/socialism means no longer bowing to Christianity and its morally which reinforces traditional values, marriage and the family. Socialism in particular wants atheism — where citizen loyalties and all authority flow to and from the state — and where the family or church are weakened or no longer exist. This was seen coming for some time and now its only a question of whether our culture can withstand the pagan onslaught. There is a dark period ahead masking as liberation — liberation from Capitalism, Christianity and all traditional values — and hopefully this pagan pendulum can be stopped and made to swing the other way.

sigh...

I could see this happening just as easily here in the US.

Leviticus 20:13 WAS quoted - they just left off the tail end.

“they shall be put to death, their blood is upon them.”

The phrase ‘their blood is upon them’ means “they brought it upon themselves”.

absolutely. i have no doubt.
but what’s next? ban the Bible itself, unless it is printed without PC offending verses?

[gleeaikin]

“they shall be put to death,” And therein lies the problem with literal interpretation of, and action upon, the bible. There are a number of other equally extreme “rules” My husband spent 3 months working in Brazil. He said attitudes toward sex were very uninhibited.

[Responsibility2nd]

Yeah. I can see that too. In our Armed Froces.

For example... What with Zerobama leading the way for queers in the military, it won’t be long before our Chaplains are prohibited from speaking Biblical truths when it comes to homosexuality and sodomy. They will be told to either cenosr the Bible or resign their commission.

[allmendream]

Well yes, that is why it is a good thing we live in a Constitutional Republic founded on the concept of religious liberty - rather than a theocracy.

According to Leviticus I should be exiled from the people.

I aint!

So ... what?

Do you think that the Bible is wrong because some Brazilians will bugger anything that moves?

Perhaps you'd like to do away with those extreme "rules" about theft and murder?

[Mrs. Don-o]

The "Gay Christian" movement (Link), which is huge in the USA, and making rapid inroads in Evangelical seminaries (Link), claims that they can be both Bible-believing and yet pro-gay-sex on the grounds that the key passages cited against gays refer only to a very narrow category of gay sex acts (specifically, violent rape, pagan temple prostitution, and pedophilia) and that interpretations which claim a broader prohibition of ALL gay sex, are faulty translations.

I see this as bunk, but my argument would be strongly bolstered by Natural Law and by the 2,000 year exceptionless norms taught by historic Christianity (Orthodox and Catholic).

Honest question: how do you fight a translation controversy like this, on the basis of "Bible alone," when the "Bible alone" does not contain a lexicon which indicates how broadly or narrowly Greek terms like arsenokoites and malakos are to be understood?

[donhunt]

Damn good thing I bought a girl sheep.

Wouldn’t want to put the kibosh on the next Carnival would we?...
During Carnival the whole country goes Groinal..

[Mrs. Don-o]

Part of the problem (as I pointed out here at #14) is that

• the Bible itself doesn't contain a lexicon to determine the meaning of key words;

• NOR does it contain a guideline specifying how much of OT law is to imported into the NT (e.g. why isn't all that about shellfish and menstruating women and stuff just as authoritative as the stuff on buggery?)

• NOR do the Evangelicals recognize any official authoritative interpretation via Ecumenical Councils or Papal encyclicals or anything of that sort;

• NOR do they consider it important to think their way systematically through Natural Law.

Thus they lack all persuasive force when they point to Scripture verses alone. They play right into the hands of the seminary prof who tells Mr. and Ms. pastor-to-be "Well, we Evangelicals now know that these passages, correctly interpreted, are perfectly supportive of loving and sincere gay relationships and blah-blah-blah."

So well-intending onlookers are stuck with either Scriptures so loosey-goosey and so conformed to modern prejudices that they might as well all join the Episcopalian LGBT Love-One-Another Hospitality Committee; or Scriptures so ferocious and so opaquely non-explanatory that they might as well all join the Taliban.

Anybody here see what I mean?

As I was reading this article, I think an earthquake just hit in West Virginia a few minutes ago...

Usually so small we don’t really notice them. This shook my house and rocked my rocker recliner...neighbors all felt it too.

Figure it’s an earthquake or a mine explosion somewhere???

[gleeaikin]

So you feel that execution for adult consensual homosexual behavior and adultery are not extreme? You favor Sharia law?

[ArrogantBustard]

Do not attempt to "put word in my mouth".

If you want to know what I think, ask. Politely. Your failure to answer my questions is noted.

Piss off.
