The Bible talks about his right hand all the time but never talks about his left hand. I just wanted to know what it does.

You and I both know the answer to this. It's not perverted.
It's that you're questioning them about their god in a way they've never been questioned about before, nor have questioned themselves. It's like when I ask them if they thought God watched porn!
The reactions you're getting are because you're getting them to THINK (and I imagine that hurts them, like sunlight does a vampire). Of course there are implications floating around about WHAT "He" does with his other divine hand while the right hand is busy ruling the universe...
Personally, I think he keeps it busy while he's watching porn.

A little boy and his grandma were driving around town, running errands. All during the trip, the boy would say things like, "Grandma, look at the trees God made with His left hand!" or "Grandma, look at the clouds God created with His left hand!"
Grandma was suddenly curious and said, "Honey, why do you think that God made things with His left hand?"
To which the little boy replied, "Because. Jesus is sitting on His right hand." ;o)
(I don't think God has literal hands, since He is a Spirit. The right hand signifies power, thus the references to His right hand.)

Back when the Bible was written, the right hand was the clean one. To be blunt, people wiped with their left hands after going to the bathroom. The right hand is the clean one. That's all.
This is true, I've heard they still do this in some middle eastern countries, that they wipe their private swith their left hand, and to never shake with your left hand!

It just sounds perverted to people with perverted minds. Maybe he never uses his left hand... or maybe that's the one that dishes out justice... or maybe it looks over the angels... because one hand looks over the humans... I have no clue... just guessing... I haven't read the Bible in a long time.

To memento:
Dude, try to imagine how gross it was to learn that sort of thing in Latin class!

Actually the "anti-leftism" of the Bible is a problem in Latin; in Latin, the forms of the word for left (or left handed) had the root word sinister and also meant unfavorable, wrong, or perverse.
That's where the English language gets the word sin.

The question is not perverted. Some of the people responding to this question and your previous question have minds in the gutter.
Think of God as a kind, wise, loving, and good father. You are created in his image and likeness.

God the Father doesn't have a corporeal body like Jesus does so when it takes about his right hand it's speaking metaphorically not literally.

The question is irrelevant--the reference to God's right hand was metaphoric in nature.
But if you want to take it literally, God can do with his left hand whatever he wants to. Being omnipotent, he'd certainly be ambidextrous!

The Bible was written by a bunch of Right-Handers. The Bible is anti-Leftie.
to tslittleflower: . . . Ew.
