Do you agree or disagree with the Bible's stance? Why or why not?

Yes, Jayasri, it is Krishna of course. And no, I don't think I'm Krishna!

well, in the old testiment (Judges 1:21-35 NLT) god promotes the use of slavary. not only does god promote slavary, but he also commands to beat your disloyal slaves.
But of these things be not ashamed, lest you sin through human respect;…Of constant training of children, or of beating the sides of a disloyal servant; or of a seal to keep an erring wife at home. (Sirach 42:1,5-6 NAB)
So God is more against homosexuality, as he is for slavary.
i disagree that this is the right way. Slavary harms other humans, when homosexuality only affects those involved.

Your real question should be why do you care what Paul said? Paul changed the words of Jesus and created the Christianity that you see today which is corrupted. Jesus would never say that and never said what you quoted. Jesus also didnt say to pray to him and that he is God. Son of God was said about many people in the Bible so applying that logic means you should pray to Solomon and David all of God's children which is all of mankind. Homosexuality is not something you are born with. No where in science is that proven. No geneticist has found the 'gay' gene. So that is ridiculous. Homosexuality is a choice and when you make a choice that offends God then what else should you expect. When you start following Jesus and not Paul then you will see the Bible for what it is. Full of contradictions and errors. Jesus's words have been twisted. His followers never worshipped him or told to worship but only that he is there to guide them and show them the truth which is God's words. Jesus said I speak not of my own words but of the words of God.

Don't call them homosexuals that's sympathizing with them. God says they should be put to death. Don't give them sympathy call them what they are ******. Suffer not a Witch to live. Burn them at the stake. Christians have been enslaving their fellow man since they hang him on the cross. Don't you know Christ told the slave to be a good little heathen and obey his master when he wanted to be a Christin. Off course I agree with the Holy of Holiest Gods Holy word the Holy bible.....Not! The Bible is the silliest book ever written. Kisses Betty.

Psalm 14:1-4
For the choir director.
A Psalm of David.
The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good. 2 The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, To see if there are any who understand, Who seek after God. 3 They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. 4 Do all the workers of wickedness not know, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the Lord?
Neither.
The greatest abomination is to deny God.

Enslaving your fellow man is not only permitted in the bible, but it's spelled out in a number of ways how you treat your slaves, when you have the right to kill them and other rules.
Gay people should be stoned to death... says god.
I'm sorry- I just have a difficult time believing that an all loving, all knowing and forgiving God would write such crap.

Absolutely being homosexual under the law was a capital crime punishable by death by stoning and the whole town participated as they all thought it abhorent whereas slavery was not as it used to be in old south in Biblical times one could volunteer to be a slave and was well treated and when the desired time was up you were set free and compensated Gorbalizer

Is that avatar My beloved Krishna (I hope you don't think you are Krishna) As to your question the Vedas say they both are abuses on the bodily platform which will bring one bad karma and another birth in the material world. Go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com for universal truth and Vedic knowledge

There are only a handful of sins that are unforgiveable. Slavery was accepted in Biblical socities. I put homosexuality up there with other sexual sins. We're all sinners, so I can't say that from a religious perspective, it is worse than anything else.

Enslaving one's fellow man because they are being forced to and being Homosexual is either born with or freedom or choice.

according to the bible homosexual.but slavery then was not as it was in the "old south" slaves where anyone who work for the land owner they where provided for and taken care of it was not acceptable to beat your slave or to abuse them in any way because they were still children of God. slaves could marry, move, or even become land owners themselves.I do not believe you are born gay, it is a sexual preference,if i believed you where born that way, i would have to believe that some where born child molesters.
