Some say homosexuality is sin. I say the Bible says we all are sinners.
Some say that homosexuality is sin enough to justify denying LEGAL equality. I say the Bible says not to judge.
Some point to Leviticus. I point to the 10 comandments.
And, I ask you, when's the last time you stoned someone to death? That's in the Bible, too.

Ooops. I forgot I was talking to the literalist. So, I'll be blunt. Your version of the Bible is a hateful, judgemental one. I don't think most Christians worship the way you do. And, I suspect that your very own holy book condemns you to he11.

you are absolutely right. a lot of people use the bible to justify their own hatred. Yet Jesus said to love your neighbor as yourself. He didn;t say except gays, non-christians, and people who don't agree with what you believe.

I do not recommend using the bible as a basis for one's beliefs. First of all, the bible has been rewritten so many times that it's impossible to know what the original words were.
Secondly, it's very easy to pick and choose which passages to believe in or not.
Live your life by what your instincts tell you. Don't forget that we humans are animals. If anything leads to the demise of the human race, it will probably be "beliefs."
Be the best person you can be. Love as hard and often as you are able. Trust your gut. You'd be amazed how your body and mind communicate what they need, if you listen.
That's not god or the bible talking- that's YOU!

First of all, according to the BIBLE homosexuality is not just sin, but an ABOMINATION to the Lord. Read Romans 1 and 2.
Second: You misunderstood when and why the Bible says not to judge. And WHAT not to judge, when it is clear there are many things a Christian MUST judge.
Third, we are not under the Old Testament.

Yes homosexuality is a sin. so is swearing. But God doesn't see one sin as being worse than another, it's all sin to him. Jesus hung out with all sorts of sinners. God doesn't want people to hate others (like you said, we're all sinners) and people who justify their hate by the Bible don't know the Bible and are disobeying God.
and about the stoning, the Bible doesn't praise stoning, it just said that it happened. which it did.

Your comments are bashing people who don't agree with you and ur homosexuality. Homosexuality is against nature. Homosexuality is an abomination unto God. You need to read the New Testament if you look to the bible for truth. God can only condemn those who look the other way and you have just done that.

The problem is you refuse to accept the teachings of the bible.

I love how you people quote scripture and have ZERO knowledge of what it even remotely means.
When you get your scriptural facts in order and want to discuss with me, about what it says and what it means, I would graciously welcome the time.
You spouting off verses makes my cat hungry.
