I can’t help but notice that the same organizations who treat the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah as “homosexuality” tend to be the same ones either engaging in or accommodating the sins of sexual violence and domination. Is it a smoke-screen? Or is it willful ignorance

Does it really matter? As someone who was sexually abused as a kid, the outcome is the same. There is a lot of lasting damage done to the kids that’s really difficult to undo later in life.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a mistranslation. You’re not going to convince evangelicals that their book is wrong.

Even with translation errors, not every verse mentions homosexuality explicitly, but that is clearly the intent of the passage. And that’s the context today anyway, nobody is going to go back and revise it to undo the bigoted interpretation we have today, so his argument doesn’t really matter honestly bcz that’s what people believe now.

“Being gay” isn’t in the Bible EXCEPT for

Leviticus 18-22

22 “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.”

Leviticus 20:13

13 "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. "

Romans 1:26-27

27 “In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

Jude 1:7

7 “Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire”

1 Corinthians 6:9

10 “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”

1 Corinthians 7:2

“But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.”

1 Timothy 1:8-11 ESV

“Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.”

I could go on, but you get the point. It’s clearly in the bible.

Trump is just an old man with obvious cognitive decline, and possibly alzheimers like his father.

If hes the “messiah”, I want nothing to do with him bcz he’s a petty nasty person and represents the worst qualities in a human being that could possibly be expressed.

It’s a pretty dumb take to say MAGA people don’t exist. I’ve literally sat next someone at a bar telling everyone around him Trump should be king. And I’ve had the unfortunate experience of seeing his MAGA fan base come into town rolling coal while waving their idiotic flags out the windows and hanging from their trucks on their way to one of his campaign stops. It’s not an opinion, it just makes you look dumb.

…I’ve never met a “MAGA” in real life. I know a bunch of Republicans, but not the stereotype obsessed over on social media. It’s reminiscent of the McCarthy era and communism. Everyone talked about communists all day, every day, but they were sooo good at blending in that nobody saw them.

What is MAGA even refer to? People who don’t think the benefits of excessive immigration outweigh the negatives? People who are annoyed with the people online ranting about obscure gender issues? If this were the case, then a lot of the democrats i know are apparently MAGA.

Comment in question. I probably wouldn’t have banned you personally. But let’s not pretend like you were just expressing a different opinion. You were trolling, and trying to get a response from people.
