Why do people constantly use the Old Testament as a tool for anti gay rhetoric and then say that Jesus.....?

Question

obsolved them of the OT laws?????In the VERY SAME book that most Christians use to atttack and question gay people are a list of laws that are RIGHT NEXT to that of the one they often refer to and yet they still insist on using that as their primary defense of hate, bigotry, and judgement.WHY??????????

Also, I know people try and find New Testament passages and when then seem to find them I have my KJV sitting right next to me and have always confirmed that such passages were re-worded by the person posting the response or by someone who published a Bible with false translations.

So, why this double standard?Either you are a great sinner because you have not followed the numeruos laws in Leviticus, amoung many books, or ALL and I mean ALL the laws of the OT are no longer valid to Christians.....Make up your mind.Well????

Where does it say gay love is not without saying that a hundred other things YOU do are of equal sin?

I have read Romans and have yet to see the words "homosexual" "gay" or "men who love men"...Waiting........................

Thank you reglory.You have shown me that lust is a sin....But it is also a sin for lust with hetrosexuals
READ Matthew 5:28-32

Answer 1

Because it's easy to hide homophobia behind dogma.

Answer 2

You have to understand that God created ADAM AND EVE! He DID NOT create Adam and Jose or Victoria and Eve. It's common sense. Now, God saw that Adam was lonely, so he decided that he should name the animals. (Genesis 2:18-20). But, this didn't help. So, Adam fell into a deep sleep in which a woman, Eve, was created from his ribs. (Genesis 2:21-24). Thus, the FIRST MARRIAGE WAS CREATED IN EDEN! It constituted of a man (male) and a woman (female). Jesus even stated that a man would leave his father and mother and marry a woman and they together would become one flesh. (Matthew 19:4-6). Thus, NATURALLY, a man should marry a woman, and vice versa. If this does not occur, and the other thing happens, which is called homosexuality, it is the person's choice.

Answer 3

After living in the bible belt for the last 30 yrs., I have decided that the people that "preach" against the the so called sin of being gay, you know the type the holier-than-thou christians are just the ones who are driving down the road cursing at everyone, the ones that are sleeping with everyone except their spouses, standing in line at the grocery ranting about the stupid n*****r behind the register. The ones who show up to church on sunday professing to be the perfect christian, after breaking every commandment, and law in the bible all week long. Are only trying to make themselves feel better about the things that they do wrong so they must condem everyone else. I know it is hard to do but you really just need to ignor the small minded ignorant hippocrits, and just remember that God knows in the end. I just wish that we could all get along! God put us all here for a reason, and he made us all different for a reason.
It is not our place to pass judgment on others.
Blessed be!

Answer 4

Becasue someone is gay should not make a true Christian hateful towards that person. How can you teach the love and grace of Jesus if you are being hateful? The Bible in the New and Old Testament forbids it though. Jesus clarified all the laws of the Old Testemant. Read Matthew chapter 5


Regarding Homosexuality

1 Corinthians 6 (KJV)

9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Main Entry: 1ef·fem·i·nate
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin effeminatus, from past participle of effeminare to make effeminate, from ex- + femina woman -- more at FEMININE
1 : having feminine qualities untypical of a man : not manly in appearance or manner
2 : marked by an unbecoming delicacy or overrefinement

NEW TESTAMENT
1 Corinthians 6
9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of
God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Answer 5

Romans 1:18-30

Also, Jesus came to abolish the old covenant

read Jeremiah 33:30-33 God planned on creating a new covenant...when Jesus fulfilled the old covenant, He created the new one as well.

Understand what the grace of God is. Grace gives us the ability to walk in the truth. When used in vain, it becomes traditon and invalid when it comes to the Law. The Ten Commandments are needed today (more than ever) just as much as it was 4000 years ago.

Answer 6

its not right man. Gods curse is upon those who practise it. the ol testiment contains the law by which God is and shows us what sin is. Jesus does away with the law in a way making it part of the born again Christian in the sense that the Holy Spirit dwells in us and is our life. rather than it as a set of rules. following the law does not mean life or acceptance by God, knowing Jesus does. the law givin is still what is acceptable to God but the whole of it cannot be kept by men but the pricipals etc are written in the heart by the Holy Spirit. a real Christian could not go on gay if he/she was a real Christain, ie born again. ask Jesus into your life and be born again by the power of the Gospel (an actual real life event in your real life) if you do this in a prayer sincerely God will answer you!

Answer 7

The fact that homosexual behaviour is considered sinful is very clear in the New Testament as well. Try reading Romans 1:26-27. It's pretty obvious to me from these verses that God disapproves of homosexual behaviour (my version uses the word "vile"). BUT, we Christians need to realize that any sexual acts (hetero or homo) outside of marriage (the kind that God came up with - between a man and a woman) is sin. Thus, my good friend who is living with her boyfriend and engaging in sex before marriage is guilty of sin as well. And all sin is "vile" in the eyes of God. And all sin can be forgiven if one turns to Jesus and repents.

Answer 8

Look at Romans 1:18-32. If you can not get a negative read there on homo lifestyle, you can't read. Also Jesus did not"obsolve" the Old Testament.

Answer 9

In the New Testament, I think that Saint Paul says something like: "These will not inherit the Kigndom: the adulterers, the thieves, those who get in bed with men, and some other things that I don't remember.
It is not a matter of hate, bigotes or anything like that. Just, as they say: "don't ask, don't tell. Your sexual orientation is your business and your business only. No reason to tell everybody. Nobody wants to hear it

Answer 10

Sounds to me like in your book that you wrote, that I didn't have time to read all of, that you are trying to rewrite the Bible. That is very dangerous, since God himself forbade it. God hated queers, Jesus hated queers, they both as one condemned it. When the Bible speaks of men loving other men it is in the context of the type of love you have for your father, your brother or your uncle or even Grandfather or a very old close family friend. Definitely not committing sodomy on another person of the same sex. Sodomy is a sin and against Gods law. Homosexuality (Queerisum) is sodomy and if it isn't still against man's law it most deffanitely SHOULD be. If you practice sodomy you are very queer indeed!

Answer 11

Read Romans 1:27 ...even in the KJV it makes reference to homosexuality in a negative sense...Sorry dude! God don't condone it.


Actually read the entire section...just to make sure you get the entire message!


Romans 1: 24 - 27 (KJV) says:
"Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

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."
