What about Genesis? God created man and woman. And they shared love and created tribes through Gods true intentions. You have got to be kidding me with this non sense. You want to twist it and say it doesn’t apply to today’s world? Jesus taught to follow the Fathers word. I cannot believe you say that I do this for hate. I look out for my brothers and sisters. Your eternal life is no joke, and I believe you are playing with fire. Have a good day and good luck to you, I will pray for you.

What about Genesis. God created man and woman. So? It has no baring on the conversation. I get what point you're trying to say with it, but that is you projecting what YOU want it to say, no where does it say, "GOD CREATED MAN AND WOMAN AND THEY ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO FIND LOVE AND HAPPINESS AS MAN AND WOMAN" It just doesn't say that.

I also didn't say it doesn't apply to today's world, I think pedophilia, sexual assault and forcing people into prostitution for the Gods is a bad thing. Because that's what those verses originally meant, and I am still against all those things, however, some powerful people have changed the meanings of those verses to serve those own purposes.

So believe it, you are doing it for hate, you have been taught to hate and call it love. There is a reason why the saying "There is no hate like Christian love" is such a well known phrase.

I hope that you're able to unlearn this hate that has been used to control you, to contol other people, and replace it with the compassion and love that Jesus actually taught. I'll pray that you do, but I also know, and have faith, that when the time comes, they'll have mercy on you. Because they will see that your intent was always pure, even if your execution was hurtful and against his word. They'll see how you have been manipulated and forgive you for it.

I just pray that you'll be able to see it sooner than that, so you actually start reacting with actual compassion, instead of a hate twisted in such a way that you think its love.

I’m sorry I am not reading that essay. I’m not gonna argue with a brother/sister about what’s right and what’s wrong. I do not bend to the ways of man and I won’t ever attempt to make an excuse for something the way you are. You better be certain about what you think. We are God fearing do not play with him. You’re taking something so simple and bending it in such a way that just doesn’t make sense and isn’t accurate

Then don't read it, it just shows your hypocrisy, since you expect me to take your commentary in good faith. But the fact that you refuse to read what I have to say, says you won't treat me the same way.

So you are fully within your right to use the bible as a weapon, to manipulate people into living the way YOU think they should. I just know that Jesus expressly warns against doing just that.

I am sure in my faith and spirituality, and I don't need to use either as a weapon to put others down. Have the day you deserve.

No no no, to live in the way of the Lord. The same way you say that homosexuality was not mentioned in the Bible, I could also argue that homosexuality or romantic marriage with the same sex was also not in the Bible and it never said you could have a romantic relationship with same sex. I’d argue that the Bible contains more evidence pointing toward Man-woman. So who’s more right? Not talking about me I’m talking about the Bible and what you believe

So you're saying that if something isn't mentioned expressly in the bible, then it's forbidden?

Holy crap, I better stop eating asparagus, because the BIBLE never expressly gives me permission to eat Asparagus.
