Why did you include verses that are more about denouncing bestıalıty and adultery than gay people? Or is there something I am missing with those?
Leviticus 18:20-30 Good News Translation (GNT) 20 Do not have intercourse with another man's wife; that would make you ritually unclean. 21 Do not hand over any of your children to be used in the worship of the god Molech, because that would bring disgrace on the name of God, the Lord. 22 No man is to have sexual relations with another man; God hates that. 23 No man or woman is to have sexual relations with an animal; that perversion makes you ritually unclean. 24 Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these acts, for that is how the pagans made themselves unclean, those pagans who lived in the land before you and whom the Lord is driving out so that you can go in. 25 Their actions made the land unclean, and so the Lord is punishing the land and making it reject the people who lived there. 26-27 They did all these disgusting things and made the land unclean, but you must not do them. All of you, whether Israelites or foreigners living with you, must keep the Lord's laws and commands, 28 and then the land will not reject you, as it rejected the pagans who lived there before you. 29 You know that whoever does any of these disgusting things will no longer be considered one of God's people. 30 And the Lord said, “Obey the commands I give and do not follow the practices of the people who lived in the land before you, and do not make yourselves unclean by doing any of these things. I am the Lord your God.”
It's otay, Julie. When you die you'll see that I'm right and it was stupid to worry about hell in the first place. The concept of heaven and hell were invented to create a sense of order; they're not actual things that exist.
Leviticus 18:20-30 Modern English Version (MEV) 20 Moreover, you shall not have relations with your neighbor’s wife to defile yourself with her. 21 You shall not let any of your children be offered through the fire to Molek, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. 22 You shall not lie with a man as one does with a woman. It is an abomination. 23 You shall not lie with an animal to defile yourself, nor shall any woman lie with an animal. It is a perversion. 24 Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for in these practices the nations I am casting out before you have defiled themselves. 25 And the land has become defiled; therefore I have punished its iniquity, and the land has vomited out her inhabitants. 26 But you shall therefore keep My statutes and My decrees, and you shall not commit any of these abominations, either the native citizen or any foreigner who sojourns among you 27 (for the people of the land, who were before you, committed all of these abominations, and the land became defiled), 28 lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. 29 For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, those persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 Therefore you shall keep My ordinances, that you do not commit any one of these abominable customs which were committed before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 18:20-30 Christian Standard Bible (CSB) 20 You are not to have sexual intercourse with[a] your neighbor’s wife, defiling yourself with her. 21 “You are not to sacrifice any of your children in the fire to Molech. Do not profane the name of your God; I am the Lord. 22 You are not to sleep with a man as with a woman; it is detestable. 23 You are not to have sexual intercourse with[c] any animal, defiling yourself with it; a woman is not to present herself to an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion. 24 “Do not defile yourselves by any of these practices, for the nations I am driving out before you have defiled themselves by all these things. 25 The land has become defiled, so I am punishing it for its iniquity, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants. 26 But you are to keep my statutes and ordinances. You must not commit any of these detestable acts—not the native or the alien who resides among you. 27 For the people who were in the land prior to you have committed all these detestable acts, and the land has become defiled. 28 If you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it has vomited out the nations that were before you. 29 Any person who does any of these detestable practices is to be cut off from his people. 30 You must keep my instruction to not do any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them; I am the Lord your God.”
If you wanna go to hell, that's fine. But you're really selfish to drag an entire nation down with you
Levitacus is old testament. You're supposed to follow new testament. And I won't be going to hell, since it doesn't exist. No one will be going to hell.
I used to go to church all the time and even went to bible camp. You're supposed to read the old testament but you follow the new testament. That was the whole thing about jesus dying for our sins and whatnot.
There is wayyyyyyy more to it than that. Sins are still sins. By your logic, the ten commandments are invalid
They are invalid according to the bible. All you have to do is accept jesus and god into your heart and repent and you're 100% forgiven and get to go to heaven
"If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9)
Quote all the anti-gay verses you’d like, but in none of them dose it say to go out of your way to be hateful.
Right, but you have to make an effort to stop sinning at that point. If you continue breaking God's rules, you aren't being faithful to him.
Can you not read, or do you just choose not to? Leviticus 18:20-30 Modern English Version (MEV) 20 Moreover, you shall not have relations with your neighbor’s wife to defile yourself with her. 21 You shall not let any of your children be offered through the fire to Molek, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. 22 You shall not lie with a man as one does with a woman. It is an abomination. 23 You shall not lie with an animal to defile yourself, nor shall any woman lie with an animal. It is a perversion. 24 Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for in these practices the nations I am casting out before you have defiled themselves. 25 And the land has become defiled; therefore I have punished its iniquity, and the land has vomited out her inhabitants. 26 But you shall therefore keep My statutes and My decrees, and you shall not commit any of these abominations, either the native citizen or any foreigner who sojourns among you 27 (for the people of the land, who were before you, committed all of these abominations, and the land became defiled), 28 lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. 29 For whoever shall commit any of these abominations, those persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 Therefore you shall keep My ordinances, that you do not commit any one of these abominable customs which were committed before you, so that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am the Lord your God.
Still invalid. No one said you had to speak to anyone you know is gay, but that still doesn’t say to go out your way to be hateful to them. You can ignore someone without being so awful.
Ya after you accept jesus. So you can sin all day then pray at night for forgiveness. It's assumed that all humans are sinners anyway and can't not be sinners
