I used to identify with christians until I came to see that they worship a homosexual couple as the first pare

parents. Together, these two males had consensual sex, and made humans. Why then, are "christians" against men who follow in the pattern of the "God" that they present to the world?

If Surah 9:5 is misquoted as being violent?

Then I fail to see how. It says to kill Pagans. That is violent to me, even if it is only defensively. In the Tahnak, Bible, and Apocrypha, Christians and Jews are ordered not to kill at all. Even soldiers who do their job are in sin. The only time violence is acceptable is when God Himself orders it or commits it. This theme is of paticular importance in the Christian text. I see very little "love theology" in the Quran. Surah 9 (The entire chapter) is essentially offering a bypass to peace. And it can be interpreted as a clear license to kill. Muslims, please help me contend with this.

How do you think God feels about homosexuals? Don't love the sin, but love the sinner?

My favorite story in the Bible is about the adulterous woman brought before Jesus. It is my favorite since, to me, it illustrates two important concepts about God's nature: God's unending capacity to love and forgive and that judgment is God's domain, not mine.
If you recall the story, the church elders stated, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what say you?"

Jesus knew the scriptures of which they spoke. It stated: "If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death."

To the surprise of all, Jesus blatantly violates the scripture by stating, "Let anyone among you who is without sin, cast the first stone." One by one they left, beginning with the Elders. Jesus asks of the adulterer, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" And Jesus says, "Neither do I condemn you."

How powerful and beautiful is this statement.

Do we assume to much about the bible? Hell part 1?

1-'Gehenna' or 'The valley of the son of Hinnom' which is what the Greek word means, was the rubbish tip outside of Jerusalem in the time of Jesus which was also used to burn the bodies of criminals who had suffered capital punishment. Most of the occurrences of the word 'hell' in the New Testament refer to this 'place of burning' outside of Jerusalem.
2-If we can accept the words quoted from Psalm 16 which prophetically teach that Jesus went to 'sheol' (ie. the grave) when He died, then to be consistent with Bible teaching, we must accept that Peter meant the grave as well when He said that Jesus went to hades when he quotes Psalm 16 in Acts 2:27. Any other explanation would have Old Testament teaching contradicting the New Testament. The fact that the New Testament was written in Greek does not mean that we have to use Greek mythology to interpret Scripture. Today we use words like "lunatic", but this does not mean that we accept that somebody's mental health depends on the phases
