Scriptures say exactly why the wrath of God abides on the homosexuals:
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who withhold the truth in unrighteousness.... because when they knew God they glorified Him not as God,.... Professing themselves to wise, they became fools, ..... Wherefore God gave them up to uncleaness...to dishonor their bodies among themselves...Who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worship and served the creature more than the Creator... FOR THIS CAUSE God gave them up to vile affections....and likewise the men also, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men,... receiving in themselves THE JUST RECOMPENSE FOR THEIR ERROR,... God gave then over to a reprobate mind,.... filled with all unrighteousness, ...full of envy, murder, deceit,....haters of God,...proud,...without understanding,...who, KNOWING THE JUDGMENT OF GOD, that they which commit such things ARE WORTHY OF (ETERNAL) DEATH..." (Romans 1: 18-32)
Not a pretty picture for the sodomites.

Are you aware of this?
The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals.
Does that mean Str8's are more evil than gays? or just more likely to get into trouble?

Hello Gary!! :o) Not sure that you'll even read this. OR if you actually ever read ANY of the responses to your 'questions'. But as a CHRISTIAN - I'm fine with the idea of someone quoting scripture. But I'm NOT fine with the idea of a fellow Christian USING GOD'S WORD as if it were his personal weapon. I'm also uncomfortable with the idea you have that ANY persecution [as you said in one of your other 'messages'] is a sign that you MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. That's a dangerous assumption. You remind me of Rod Parsley [a televangelist] who once said that he can't wait until the return of Christ so HE can point his finger at all of the 'sinners' and say, "I told you so. I told you so!!" What a horrible thing to say and what a horrible thing to hope for. Is that what YOU hope for, Gary?! God's word should ONLY be shared with others in LOVE. No one should EVER share the word of GOD with the intent to crush. God's word should only be shared with the intent to lift up and encourage. Quoting scriptures is fine. But it does NOT make YOU the 'better man'. Always keep that in mind. Have a great day!! Craig!! :o)

May I suggest you pick up a copy of "What the Bible REALLY says about Homosexuality". You can find it in most any book store. In it you will discover that the ORIGINAL texts of the Bible were grossly mistranslated by MEN. Also, I'd like to point out that the texts you refer to involve Temple Prostitution used in Pagan rituals of the times and not loving relations between consenting adults. Sodom was destroyed for the sin of INHOSPITALITY, not Homosexual behaviors AND that the Lord Jesus Christ has NOTHING to say about homosexuality (a term not even in USE in 33 AD, I might add) Go and read this book, Get some knowledge about the TRUTH of the matter and THEN come back and we'll talk! I'd also like to add one other FACT: THE word of God is not "Hate thy neighbor" or "Go beat up all people unlike me". THE word of God is LOVE. Pure and UNCONDITIONAL!!! It is time people like yourself realize that a Church is not a Country Club but a place of worship. And it belongs to GOD, NOT YOU!!! It is His house and it is a house where ALL are welcome. Dislike that? Stay HOME.

quit using the Bible to justify the fact that you're nothing but an ignorant bigot! God created and loves us all...and He makes no mistakes! Mind your own business, and get a life!
Dear Conservative Christian,
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I
have learned a great deal from you, and I try to share that knowledge
with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.
a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They
claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my eye i require reading glasses would my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?
i) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.

Get a Blog!
Take your meaningless and mythical meanderings elsewhere. You DO realize that you're preaching to a choir that's not even in the same church you're in, don't you?
Additionally, spamming is in violation of Community Guidelines. Proselytizing is soliciting which is the same as spamming.
Just go away. No one in this Category is taking you seriously.
Best Wishes!

But remember no Sin is greater than the other and God wrath will come down on those who JUDGE others since this is his right and his right alone, those who lie( yes even little white lies), those who steal(yes even a piece of 5cent candy), and those who Fornicate (yes premarital STRAIGHT sex). SO hold on and check yourself make sure you are not doing any of the following. Post about that, hypocritical Closet case!

Gary, Gary, Gary.... have you ever heard about protesting too much?
You know what I think? I think you have homosexual urges. I really do. I mean, why else would you care so much? This sort of reaction is generated by FEAR. So why would you be scared? Are you secretly gay? 'Cause if you are, it's OK.
If you REALLY hate gays so much then you should be gleeful that we're all going to burn in hell or whatever fate it is that awaits us.
But.... I don't know.... all these religious posts, like you're giving us a warning.... seems to me you might have a bit of a soft spot for us.
AND, FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR BIBLE SAYS!!! I AM GAY!!! AND NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING, ANYONE SAYS, DOES OR PREACHES IS GOING TO CHANGE THAT.
NOTHING!!!!

I was not aware of this. Excuse me while I cut off my kock while inside my BF's azz because its making me sin.
Why do you put certain phrases in capitals. They make no sense. This must be how Christians like Gary read the bible. They only see what they want to see and ignore the rest.
So to edit down Gary's text: FOR THIS CAUSE THE JUST RECOMPENSE FOR THEIR ERROR KNOWING THE JUDGMENT OF GOD ARE WORTHY OF (ETERNAL) DEATH.
Everyone understand now??

Um, I'm wiccan. To me that quote matters just as much as the games on the back of cereal boxes. In fact, it matters less because it's less entertaining than a cereal box. Oh, and have you even looked at the rest of the bible? It's a joke how horribly written it is! Please, grow a brain before asking any more questions.

God gave his only begotten son so that whosoever believeth in him shall have eternal life. Jesus Christ died to take away the sin of the world. So even if someone IS homosexual and believes that Christ died for their sins, what does THAT tell you, Gary???
