Gay priest: Vatican edict will force others away
Dear Mr. Michael Hopkins. As a supposed minister, what part of the following examples from scripture do you NOT understand? Do you even read the Bible? If you are a minister, as you say that you are, you would be reading every word as they are word's from God. A Reverend? - I think NOT!!! Deciever of your followers, YES! You are twisting God's words to suit yourself, and it doesn't get more carnal than that. You are certainly not fooling God. And stop blaming the whole mess on those you affectionately call Homophobics!
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 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.
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. are not convenient;
Romans 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers
Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Romans 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
Romans 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
I doubt that very much.
