It seems to me, that quite a few in the gay/lesbian/transgendered are upset with many who talk about what the Bible has to say on homsexuality becasue of the approach of those who claim to believe it. I feel this way, it is one thing for a person who chooses to live a gay/transgendered/shemale lifestyle to say "this is what I enjoy and this is what I am going to do regardless of what anyone else says." That is understandable to me. However, it is quite another to take a very clear cut rule, and say that it does not mean what it says. People do this with many rules in the Bible, not just homosexuality. Yet, we never assume that when traffic laws say drive 50mph that the lawmakers didn't really mean what they said. I understand very well what it is like to have sexual desires that are not commonly accepted in most of society. Yet, I don't tell people that the Bible does not say what is clearly written in it. Please only answer if you can do so without getting angry.

Many people have abandoned the bible for its sins enclosed within. So if we want a better society why doesn't someone write a new 'bible' that is up to date and doesn't have things about stoning people and slavery in it. It could take all the good bits of christianity and throw in a bit of modern wisdom. Churches could be great places again too, i feel they are largely abandoned in the UK.

thoughts?

did u ever let Jesus into your heart as the prophets predicted-and Jesus said to do-in
Revelation 3 vs 19&20 -"Behold i Jesus stand at your heart and knock, if u let me in i will deliver from sins and become your friend." so after my barmitzah i prayed and let our Messiah into my heart- "I'm sorry for my sins, come into my heart help me be my friend-amen" now he is my Messiah savior and best friend-
why Jesus? why not? why Jesus to you-tell your friends feel free to say whatever u desire -say your heart-or lie like i use to do-and even curse his name
to be Jewish you believe-Isaiah 52 vs 13-53 vs 12 "He will be made high, but first marred more than any man and lay down his life an atonement for our sins."
to be Christian or muslim you got to believe the Jewish scriptures too-no blood atonement=no Messiah and your going to hell gnashin teeth forever as Jesus said-damned and he weeps we dont-Revelation 19-22nd chapter
Jewish hell too Daniel 12vs 2 "in abhorance forever

I am Christian African American man who goes to a mostly white church. Most of my friends are white. I am a deaf interpreter and my wife is deaf. I see things between AA and white Christians are getting better in many ways and yet when I tell them that racism is still alive in 2006. They seem to have a closed mind or they do not want to hear the sad truth. Since I work in the deaf ministry, black and white deaf is not a major problem. Most of my white Christian friends have an open mind and yet there are those who refuse to have an open mind. These inviduals feel that the term (African American) is political correct term and there is no racism. I try to be patient and educate them the reality of race relations and how the term (African American) is to uplift and give pride to descendants of African heritage. If you are African American, do you have how you do deal with those who do not see racism in the USA? If you are white, do you try to see things from an African American Point of view?

What do modern day Jews do for forgiveness of sins since I'm assuming they no longer sacrifice animals. I'm really curious, so only serious answers from people who actually know!

Conversely, why do Christians always answer threads that have nothing to do with religion, with a religious justification?

If he didn't want us to act the way that we do, couldn't he have just created us differently? If it's all a test, then surely, he would have known whether we would pass or fail before we were born.
