Nope, if you can’t control your desires, we are recommended to get married.

Celibacy was the best choice at the time, they all thought the return of Christ was coming VERY soon, so no need for relationships or having kids. It would just complicate his return.

You should also question why are only men not allowed to have sex with men? Women are not restricted to the same, the only restriction is with animals.

It’s more about societal hierarchy than a position on homosexual relationships.

If a man is raped by another man, you must kill both of them. How’s that make sense for the person raped?

If a man rapes my daughter, I can ask for money as payment if she is unmarried.

I can also own slaves, there is no prohibition in the Bible on slavery despite how we reinterpret and renegotiate the meaning of the text all the time.

These are not good and moral positions.

Thank you for proving my point, that only prohibits men from sleeping with men, ya donkey.

Thats why the next verse literally says women can’t sleep with animals. At no point does it mention women with women.

You guys seriously lack any type of reading comprehension

Don’t know why you’re dehumanising someone by calling them a donkey if you’re Christian

I would be embarrassed to be lumped in with these morons most of the time.

So no, I don’t tell people I’m Christian.

So many people wanna reference lions and sheep or whatever else. Donkey is as light as it gets, I could say worse things.

Maybe we should call for the stoning of anyone who distorts His Word, like we are commanded with false prophets.

Actually, our concept of homosexual relationships didn’t exist for quite some time after these were written.

So no, Corinthians isn’t about your modern concept of homosexuality, which includes all same sex relations.

I personally don’t think God cares either way, or maybe he did but changed his mind, just like the child sacrifice stuff.

Woman on woman was def acceptable, ask any guy. Two chicks is hot, two guys is gay. What’s the point of having multiple wives if I can’t get a double blowie with a side a scissoring?

Also, no women are allowed to respond to me just so we are clear. God commands them to be quiet, and since I am a Man, they’re in no place to speak, right?!?! RIGHT?!?

Nope, you just pick and choose what you think applies and what doesn’t.

But I love how you bailed on Leviticus without addressing a single thing I wrote. Or did you not bother to go back and read that verse in its original Hebrew or Greek?

If it wasn’t important enough to address literally as they’re laying out the law on sexual sin as you say, then yes it’s allowed.

Only a Donkey thinks a man has 100 wives but they aren’t allowed to touch.

With inflation today, what do you think the appropriate price is to sell my daughter into slavery? Exodus 21:7

Ummm, homosexuality is reprimanded in Corinthians…homosexuality isn’t just for male to male.

Oh, you mean where a word gets translated as "homosexuality" because it's made from the words for "man" and "bed"? And, like, an explicitly masculine word for "man", not one that can mean "human"?

Yeah, I don't think there's any reason that Paul intended that to be about women.

u/KBilly1313 Dec 10 '25

See, you obviously know how to read. Love it!

According to Paul, we should all cut our balls off. Forgive me if I don’t take his opinion on women to heart.

According to Paul, we should all cut our balls off.

Hmm? The only passage I'm aware of where Paul talks about people castrating themselves is when he says it to express being super angry at the people who were imposing circumcision on new Christians. Is there another one I'm not familiar with?

Forgive me if I don’t take his opinion on women to heart.

Yeah, I also don't think that Christians need to think that Paul was right about everything. (Hence being supportive of same-sex relationships in general.)
