I just find it funny that people pick and choose what they want to abide by in the bible. If you're going to live by the bible, you've got to live by every other principle that's in there. If not, then you're most definitely a hypocrite Like some people wait to have sex when they're married, but then they'll go ahead and get wasted on friday night. What's also irritating are homosexual believers. It specifically says in the bible that any homosexual offenders shall not inherit the kingdom of God. So it just seems kind of dumb to me that people will believe and abide only by what THEY want, and not what God wants.

People choose what to believe in everything.
"What's also irritating are homosexual believers.It specifically says in the bible that any homosexual offenders shall not inherit the kingdom of God." you said.
Where does the bible say these things?
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Looks like you didn't have much a question.
When you study biblical criticism, you'll see that the Bible isn't a single book. It's a collection of books that when written were not meant to be seen as a collection. People have the right to reject certain books or certain parts as uninspired if they want -- every Christian did so up intil the fourth century when Athanasius began his agenda to form a Christian canon of scripture.
There is evidence that some parts of the Bible were not what the authors originally wrote and was only later added (someone had a theological point they wanted to get across so they inserted it into an already-existing apostolic book), and there is evidence that many of the books of the Bible were not written by who they claim to be written by.
Christians have the right to pick and choose whatever they want from the Bible.

People all through time have done this , just believe what you want to believe, this is the exact reason for so many churches rather than just one Christian church is people do pick and choose what they want to believe, and go to a church that is close to that instead of the Bible, and that is exactly the LIE the Serpent told to Eve; Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
He tried to preach to Eve none of the trees were good.
And when he got her to listen he killed her with a lie; Genesis 3:4
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
And she did believe the lie; Genesis 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Churches do teach this same exact lie, pastors and priest do not care what the Bible says as long as you send them your money; 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Well you obviously haven't read some of the other questions/answers about Christian homosexuals. You know, the people that are genuinely trying to live by the Bible are doing the best they can. You can't expect everyone to be perfect. You certainly aren't. Doesn't it say somewhere in that book not to judge....but you are. That should answer your question.

well, it would make sense to follow the bible if you choose to follow the bible. The only thing is, some people choose not to follow the bible.
If you follow the bible, that's good, but why would you care how other people do it? I know it's annoying to hear hypocrites rationalize their motives, but they're just people like you and me.

Its no just that simple,
1-nobody understand the bible,
2-bible says trinity doesn't exist so believing on it will destroy the whole system.
3-you don't like something that says you are wrong.
4-then preachers wouldn't be so millionaires.
and. else, but all my answers against those that doesn't follow the truth GOD.
