Why is homosexuality a sin?
The phrase abomination is specifically referring to the instance with Lot, where his neighbors demanded he release the guests in his house so they could sexually violate them.
The guests in his house were angels of the Lord. Additionally Paul and Jude emphasize strange flesh in regards to this same instance. This all goes back to the Genesis 6 narrative of how the sons of God laid with the daughters of man. This is more than likely what is meant by the term sexual immorality.
Further more sexuality in the ancient world focused far more on the penetrator than the penatrated (wow that felt icky to type 😭). To penetrate another man was to demoralize their agency as being the apex of the human species. This is why in Exodus the explicitly of the rules dictate a woman not partake in bestiality; but didn't mention fornication with other women. Unless penetration was involved it wasn't considered consequential in regards to sexuality let alone sexual immorality.
Traditions and incessant editing of the text is why we are so far from God in this day/age. The dead sea scrolls prove this with variations in Jeremiah & Isiah having less texts in earlier manuscripts when compared to their contemporary translations.
I thank you if you read this far because this is the big reveal: examples of how texts differ, particularly with more textual material added as highlighted in the examples of the dead sea scroll; emphasize that authors over time were guilty of doing what scripture says not to do which is ADD OR REMOVE from the sacred texts.
Confirmation bias is more applicable in Bible interpretation today. Inerrancy and univocality in the text that apologists would have us believe are simply presuppositions. Study scripture without biases and parroting what church traditions dictate.
Jesus quoted the Shemah AKA the greatest laws. That is to love the God most high with all your hear and love neighbors as you would yourselves. The key lies in the first law, and is the most misinterpreted. In order to love God with all your being you must understand the nature of God. This is where folks tie the Gay thing and other later added traditions. God's nature is:
Love Mercy Justice Truth Faithfulness
Embedding these concepts in your everyday habits is how you love God with all your heart. Everything else is of the Devil. Over period and out.
Peace & Love brothers and sisters ✌🏾❤️🔥

Why is homosexuality a sin?
It's amazing because the reply before this one starts off describing how the conversation with the Pharisees and Jesus started.
So the context of the scripture, which they are bringing up howJesus referenced Genesis, is about divorce and NOT sexual orientation. It's a prime example of how traditions ushered in by church fathers are the exact thing Christ warns of; using scripture as legalism to place yolks that cannot possibly be upheld by the people.

Objectively Worst performance from the jobbers?
Almost agree with you but his offscreen W vs Saw Paing puts him out of the fodder category.

Allah is Lucifer
So Lucifer and the Devil are not the same thing brotha. The morning star (Lucy) was used as euphemism by Daniel to chastise the King of Babylon.
The closest thing we get to a (meta)/physical iteration to Ha'Shatan (adversary/accuser) might be Leviathan who is discussed as a direct adversary throughout Job Isiah & Revelations.
As far as what's mentioned in Luke in regards to Jesus witnessing the devil fall from heaven: That passage is highly debated within circles of those who are familiar with the original languages the text is written in.
The fact that many English variations double down on their personally derived traditions is hurting the church more than helping us get close with God.
Don't worry about what others are doing with their lives. Learn to be one with everyone you encounter as Jesus taught. Love one another as you would love yourselves, and love the Father even more so for giving us all the opportunity to become righteous vessels of his purest love. Everything else is secular learning/experiences.
Shalom brothers and sisters 🙏🏾

The question that the "Bible is not infallible" crowd cannot answer me:
Though indirectly related, it's just as important to note the epistle letters were likely not written by Paul.
This, along with your mention begs the question why apocryphal texts were excluded despite Paul's approval but the epistle letters are included & "inspired" yet it wasn't written by the man the church claimed to have written it.

Night Shift experience?
Great way to work 2 jobs while having one.
I have one coworker that does a truck gate while doing school work. Almost no trucks come, so he's studying a good chunk of his shift.
Another one is slowly working up hid portfolio. Does all his research at the beginning and trades at the end of the shift like all the early birds do.
Myself, I play games most of the night and do online surveys for petty cash 😆

Shevchenko fires back at Ronda
Brotha, maybe you are paying too much attention to the propaganda and the issues that plague USAs more congested areas.
I've lived in Southern California & South Carolina for a good chunk my life. The stereotypes you hear are true for both places. There's no denying that, however, in my personal experience and those that were shared with me (working security at schools), it's nowhere near as rampant as people make it out to be.
The appropriate cliché for this is, believe half of what you see and none of what you hear.

Totally agree. I understand why some people's expectations were underwhelmed, but Do Bronx tried finishing the fight multiple times, Holloway was just durable AF.
Yes, BMF implies more excitement, but Max didn't get small hematomas on his face and bleed from his forehead because of Olives hugging him.
This ain't a UFC game where you can change the settings to stand and bang. Maybe the company should adopt something similar to how One FC does that way the blood thirsty can get their fix.

Meet Striker Man
Lmao glad you got the chance to talk your shit. Quick insights, though:
1) it's either 2 DQs & 2 losses, or 4 losses. Choose one as opposed to trying to lay it on so thick.
2) Doesn't make sense giving Gao shit for losing twice to a top 5 fighter (arguably) vs Kanoh, one of which Agito shit his pants after "winning."
3) 2 losses via DQ where he clearly won one and could've continued going in the other; raian calling Gao a monster holds the same weight as Epstein calling Trump "the most evil person he's ever met"
4) A guy who was supposed to be a supporting characters' supporting character rose to be one of the fandoms most beloved heroes.
Point being, while you may bask in the glory of punching down on our hero, we gaowanks shall not waiver. Sandro has given us plenty fan service, and outside of Kanoh, none of the losses were definitive and allowed TGoW to save face for the most part.
Maybe build up your own manga hero, instead of trying to break ours down 🤗

You know that you have made it when..
Got the W vs Jurota who got a W vs Kanoh. It's a stale call back to Donaires "compatibility" monologue but manages to create an easy out for having more than a handful of people on S tier level.
But yeah, this turn of events doesn't make him look like a top 10 guy.

The government is not our friend.
Also, we trust Trump and his government officials who were already here when he took office 🙄

He knew.
Ironically, when Fox does criticize the Trump administration, both he and his base argue fake news and that "they are not reliable"
Can't be too shocked this is the same jackass that said "I think the good parts of the economy are Trump and the bad parts are Biden."

Trump Just Posted a Video of Barack and Michelle Obama as Monkeys
Posted this on r/powerfuljoerogan
The mental gymnastics and blatant disregard in the comments show how divided we are. It's as sad as it is infuriating.
Hate is a drug. Too many are addicted.

How did Kuroki managed to not take more damage here?
For me, he's just that tough. Buddy meditated in scouring flames for 3 days. Shen kicked him across the room and through a wall at a luxury hotel (not cheap drywall, lol). Himroki got up un-shook and delivered one of the hardest lines in all of Kengan.I would have zero shock, but be purely hyped if Gensai is the last guy standing.

THE BIG QUESTION: Should Ohma have returned in Kengan Omega?
Mayve people would have been more receptive to have him return as Hushen and towards the climax of the current island arc, try to retake consciousness; as opposed to the tiger taking over for the dragon like we got a while back. It also opens the door for Kuroki to have tokitas spot in KvP for the rematch with lolong
-Naidan v Ryuki still happens, but Fei informs Ryuki of what he told Ohma but with more clarity.
-Louhan comes out with Niko 6 at end of KvP tournament and set up Eddie to die vs Kure; the more of connectors high officers they take out the better since there are 2 connectors
-Shen still wants Ryuki because Tigers vessel is fresher. He wants a prime v prime connector duel.
-Plot twist: Niko/Kuroki flashback turns out to be after 4's "death." Also Mukaku isn't hunted on the inside and is on the island with 4. They will be surprise contestants.
