I have peacock for the old old shows and WWE network and I saw a commercial for pride month (which of course is everywhere) one movie clip showed this teenage girl (the beacons of all knowledge according to modern Hollywood) in a church talking to a pastor or something and accusing the church of emotional abuse for teaching her to hate herself.
One thing in the Bible Jesus clearly states is that you will be hated and I love the idea that it’s emotional abuse to not affirm someone’s lifestyle. By all means if you don’t like what the bible says then go do what you want. The church has been condemning many behaviors for a long time. So if I cheat on my spouse and my pastor says I’m committing a sin I can just call it emotional abuse.
Gotta love the narcissist mentality that the Bible must change to suit you.
I’d respect someone more if they just said the Bible I’d full of fairy tales and went off and did their own things. I have struggles and temptation in life but I’m not going to try and justify them.
He also notes that the Old Law still applies, which clearly states in Leviticus 22: 13:
Many Rainbow Reich apostates swear by their own rhetoric that that is somehow a misinterpretation and it only refers to incest, but it's pretty clear that it doesn't. If you read the hermeneutics about that scripture they have to jump through a novel's-worth of hoops to try to reinterpret it as anything other than what it clearly states.
But obviously there's also the complete nuking of Sodom and Gomorrah for its practice of homosexuality, and the obvious point you made about marriage being a holy matrimony of man and woman. There's also multiple scriptures, such as first Corinthians 6:10...
I've had one Liberal Christian attempt to debate the accuracy of the translations because he supported the Rainbow Reich, but when I hit him with Romans 1 18: 32, he bowed out and said he wasn't going to debate the topic anymore.
Romans 18:32 makes it pretty clear in no uncertain terms that homosexuality is considered a sin and people will be punished for it if they keep to pursuing that lifestyle. Well worth a read here if you plan on using it the next time some Lefty attempts to say the Bible condones homosexuality: https://biblia.com/bible/esv/romans/1/18-32
