Have you read these scriptures against homosexuality?
"But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:"
"And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them."GENESIS 19:4-5
"And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD." GENESIS 4:1
In the Bible, when it says someone "knows" something, it is saying that someone is having relations with someone else. You get what I'm saying. Anyway, you all know the definition of sodomy, if you don't look it up. Do not pretend to deny the fact that it was refering to Sodom and Gommorah, which were destroyed by the hand of God.

More Evidence:
"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 agave them up unto vile affections: for even theirwomen 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."ROMANS 1:24-27

Elegant, where did I ever hint that it's ok to let your daughters get gang raped?
2006-11-21 16:33:26 · update #4
Yes, I've read them. The gays and pro-fags will just deny them though. Or when all else fails, they'll just call you a hater homophobe. Like anyone's afraid of a gay! (Sorry homophobes, you know what I mean)

What I find very sad is when people use the Genesis 19:4-5 as an "anti-gay" support, but fail to find anything wrong with the following lines after that where Lot offers his daughters up for a gang rape to the crowd of men.
So, what you're saying is that it's not okay to be homosexual, but it's okay to let your virgin daughters be gang raped by a crowd of guys?
Funny they fail to mention that part.

well I am not Homosexual, but i have an observation.
You state that when the bible says that someone "KNOWS" someone that they are having relations with them. so where is the proof of this statement. and i want archeological evidence. that will prove to me that in ancient Aramaic that the translation to the english word "knows" means a sexual relationship.
if it means a relationship and does not include sexual in it's definition. then it could be any type of relationship. unless you can provide linguistic proof for me here.
in none of the passages that you just pasted is the word homosexual used. nor does anything describe a sex act between 2 men or women.
does the bible ever say that Jesus knew someone?
what about any of his other deciples?
****************************************************
now i would ask you if you have ever read the scriptures where JESUS talked and said.
love your enemy. lend to him and do not expect anything in return for i am merciful to the wicked and ungreatful.
what about love your neighbor.
what about the examples of people rejecting Jesus and Jesus just walking away still loving them enough to allow them to live as they wish.
God promised Aberham that if he could find even 10 rightous people in sodom and gemorrah that he would spare the whole city for their sake. so why do you all seem to think that he will destroy america bot having a 10 percent population of homosexuals?
why dont you all try to live within the teachings of your Lord Jesus and quit judging your neighbors and enemies that you are supposed to love..LOVE does not come with strings attached.
Love by it's very definition is unconditional. you all talk a great deal of love and peace untill someone lands on one of your paticular phobias. Homophobia in this case. why are you so scared about what 2 adults decide to do in their house. and who do you think that you are to judge them you are not GOD. and because you are not god you have no right to speak for him. nor do you have the right to interprit his word or to change it to suit your political. or personell agenda.

I love self righteousness. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. I like Christians who quote the Torah and think they know what it means. I like those who read a book that was meant to be interpreted each time it was read and attribute to it a strict unchanging interpretation.
I like those who damn people and bait people and who come out only to pick fights, with a topic that seems inocuous but is there only to invite people to damnation.
I like Christians like this because they show their religion to be hate-filled and vile.
I like Christians like this because they make Christianity look horrible.
I like this because these people are personally responsible for leading people away from Christ rather than toward him.
I think that these people are SO BRAVE and wonderful... picking fights with people thousands of miles away over a computer cable rather than face to face.
I especially like the fact that they won't post their email link because they know that they will get vitriolic responses... Do you think that this shows a great ambasador for Christ.... "Here, let me insult you publically, but please, please don't take it personal. Above all, don't try to contact me about my vile slanderings."
Weak, inconsequential, without backbone. Holding on to a text that wasn't meant to be interpreted in the fashion it is being taken in and reading into it things that were never intended. They take false translations, not having the initiative to look into the origninal meanings of the words being used. And with all this, they slander ten percent of the population and expect the world to think well of them.
Lovely, Lovely, Lovely.... don't you all want to be a Christian just like that? Forget Christ.... look to these to see what the modern Christian church has become.

Don't you just love it when Christians tell Jews "the Law is no longer applicable", and turn around and quote Genesis as an "argument" against homosexuality?

Have you read the rest of the OT? If so, you should be stoning a whole lot of people to death for all kinds of things. You can't just choose the parts of the OT that you want to follow and ignore the rest, you know.

To the first answerer: this stuff is also in the NT in Romans, it applies.
To the asker: I am sure someone like yourself has pointed this out to them at least twice a week.
Has anyone taken time to love them? Listen to them?

God also say's judge not lest ye be judged!

YIKES. & here I was thinking it was JUST "Christian Night Bashing." As I mentioned in one of my other answers, a CHRISTIAN friend of mine recently told me: "It says in the bible that a fool's voice is known by its multitude of words." Hmmm.
