As in Romans 1: 26(ish) that all:
unrighteous, fornicating, wicked, theiving, malicious; envious, deceitful, God-hating, despiteful, proud or boastful people deserve death?
Oh, and those who are disobedient to parents...
If you do not believe this to be correct, then how can you say that the Genesis creation stories are definitely correct? Or does Jesus have to actually contradict the OT for it to be thrown aside? Many Christians say that the moral parts of the OT should be maintained (such as condemning homosexuals) but not the small mitzvot (e.g. don't eat shellfish/pork.) However, the Genesis story is not a moral thing... Not the details at any rate. You can believe that God created the world and loved it (the moral part) without believing the 6days stuff.

At any rate, is: 'take my virgin daughters' something YOU would prefer to homosexuality being carried out?!

Sure would clean up a lot of corruption if they followed that now wouldn't it?
Man went away from God. That's where all the corruption comes from.
If we all followed the Bible correctly there would be a lot of harmony in this world.

A very thoughtful post. I hope My Fan Club gives you equally thoughtful answers.
Indeed, if morality COMES FROM the bible, then how do you know which bits of the bible no longer apply (such as Lots offering his virgin daughters to be raped, or your shellfish example.) Either you use the OT or you don't. But to pick n choose which bits are "moral" means you're NOT using "gods moral compass" but your own. At least be honest about that (I'm lookin at YOU Fan Club)

We all sin, we are all deserving of punishment, wich is death. I dont believe in 6 LITERAL days of creation.
