My question is this. When people posting questions or answers in the LGBT section of Yahoo answers Use biblical passages that condem gay people to death are they promoting muder?
Does the use of these passages in this way constitute a violation of Yahoo terms of service ?
as people of religion do you find this offensive

Yes, I think it does promote incitement to murder and is against Yahoo guidelines, report them when you see it.

Nobody here can condemn homosexuals to death, first of all. They don't make the laws. Are they quoting FROM the Bible how in the Old testament, homosexuality was dealt with, such as in Leviticus, perhaps? That is God's point of view on how the sin was to be treated BACK THEN. In the New testament, you can read from the Book of Romans, chapter 1, as well as in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, and see that God STILL sees it as an abomination. He does offer you eternal life and freedom from this sin and all others, if you REPENT, and accept what Jesus Christ has done for each of us by dying on the cross; by rising from the dead; and by having Him as your personal Saviour.
BTW: people are offensive on here ALL THE TIME. You just have to forgive, and move on. God bless you. Email me if you'd like to talk further.

Yes. There are plenty of passages in the New Testament that condemn homosexuality, without any mention of violence. I prefer to use those, since Christians aren't supposed to reference the Old Testament as much for their beliefs anyway, except for the Ten Commandments.
The rest of the Old Testament is prophesies and practices for Judaism.

Honestly? I think you are being oversensitive. Why do gay people have to be so damn whiny all the time (and yes, before anyone starts accusing, I'm gay)? I highly doubt it these people are advocating murder or condemning death. They are just cowardly people turning to the only justification they have for hatred. They only feel so comfortable doing it because #1. it's the internet and #2 they have a really "important" book to back them up.

I assume they are promoting murder behind the moral shield of religion.
That sounds a lot like 9/11 to me.

They're only promoting murder if the condemnation to death of the homosexuals is supposed to be done by fellow citizens. If it's done by, say, acts of god, that's not murder, that's just rooting for tragedy.

I think God loves everyone and murder is always wrong. I think the people on here who say mean things to people are too judgemental and that is as much a sin as anything else. My God is a God of love and compassion, not violence and murder.

I find it very offensive, and yes it does constitute a violation of yahoo's terms of service--harrassment or insulting other participants, or other and type in your own

God doesn't what his children to murder each other. If homosexuality is a sin then those people will have to face God in the end. We have no right to seek that degree of justice.

It seems that way to me. Just watch, though. The Xians will come back and say that they don't mean "real" death. They mean everlasting death in hell apart from jesus. That's how that silly little book works.
