This verse is one where Paul wrote a long list of what we shouldn't do. Don't kill one another. Don't lie or cheat or steal. The list goes on to include fornication, idolatry, whoremongering, perjury, etc. He also includes "malokois" and "arsenokoitai."

What's a malokois? What's an arsenokoitai? Actually, those two Greek words have confused scholars to this very day.

Greek scholars say that in first century the Greek word malaokois probably meant "effeminate call boys." The New Revised Standard Version says "male prostitutes."

As for arsenokoitai, Greek scholars don't know exactly what it means.

In 1958, for the first time in history, a person translating that mysterious Greek word into English decided it meant homosexuals, even though there is, in fact, no such word in Greek or Hebrew.

In the past,people used Paul's writings to support slavery, segregation, and apartheid.Is it happening again?Is a word in Greek that has no clear definition being used to condemn gays?

Islam means peace in Arabic. It hurts a lot of people saying their prophet was a negative person. Muslims do not think Jesus was bad at all. In fact Muslims believe in Jesus, it was stated in the Quran that they were to believe in Jesus (one of the many prophets). Even Mohamed believed in the many prophets, such as Abraham, and Jesus. Christianity and Islam are very similar. They were taught to respect other religions, treat each others like brothers not enemies. Ofcourse there are terrorists, but all religions do, its the person who are the terrorist not the religion. No matter what religion there has to be a bad person in the religion.

From Jesus' words himself he said we must be perfect because God is perfect - implying we must follow God's way. If jealousy is one of God's perfect traits then why it becomes a sin for us to practice jealousy?

It has often been suggested that gay people are just straight people who choose to sin and that if gay people want to be straight, all they have to do is repent of their sins and "do the right thing."

Would you be willing to marry a "formerly" gay guy? Would you be willing to live a life with a man who would be fighting the urge to copulate with other guys for the rest of your lives?

It has also been suggested by many Yahoo! Answers that gay people can get married any time they want... to a straight person.

How many of you are willing to be that straight person in that relationship?

No really, are some of you really that childish? I mean come on, you say you hear things like 'voices' or 'scratching' and attribute it to "ghosts" or "spooks". Try and think logically for once will you? For sound to occur it has to have a physical source. Something has to act upon the air to modulate sound waves. That means something physical. So, by definition, anything supernatural like a "ghost" would never be able to generate sound. Or move a physical object.
Some of you also say that they walk through walls. Yet they walk on a floor and even climb stairs...
Don't you see the stupidity of these statements? If they have no physical form (yet you can see them apparently) how could they be supported by physical objects?
And why aren't they naked? What, do thier clothes have some sort of "soul" or "spirit" too?
I know most of you apologists will say "oh your just close minded" and that's where your 100% wrong. I'm using something called logic, you probably don't recognize it...

Would you consider someone that sees murders, rapes, and torture and has the ability to stop it but doesn't to be a sadist?

Sadist: The deriving of pleasure, or the tendency to derive pleasure, from cruelty.
(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/s...

God must be enjoying it or it wouldn't allow it. Free will is not an excuse because god could wait until the murderer decides to murder someone but stop him before he actually does it.

What I don't get is this, why do people find it hard to believe in a concept of evolution. Why do they not wanna hear about it or bash it by saying I didn't evolve from no monkey. Yet they believe in an entety that is never heard or seen? Is it easier to believe in an entety that is not there than a concept that holds more facts?
