    Women can teach women but they can't teach men with spiritual authority, like Bible study.

    You are the one putting words in God's mouth. He's always been against homosexual acts from the 5 books of Moses to Romans Chapter 1. Anything else is a perversion.

    I don't put words in Gods mouth - so you are spewing falsehood claiming I have.

    If you want to follow Levitical Law - go ahead - and have fun stoning the adulterers. Jesus didn't follow that law and I follow Jesus.

    Can you point to some scripture?

    So heterosexuals get married and have sex before they masturbate? :roflol:

    Well how can non-procreative sex be expected to occur without birth control?

    What's that?

    How does this apply to non-Christians?

    Then why did you use the term, "unnatural instinctual behavior?" Isn't that an oxymoron?

    Theoretically they could be legally married without engaging in sex. Pretty damn unlikely though.

    What the hell does this have to do with belly buttons?

    So you don't believe in Genesis?

    Is the Bible clear about at what point two people become 'married?'

    Saying marriage is just a piece of paper is like saying divorce is just a piece of paper. The government is involved in marriage for the same reason the government is involved in giving people job licenses.

    When did I mention government? Again, is the Bible clear about at what point two people become 'married?'

    Absence of Evidence isn't Evidence of Absence. Perhaps he did say something about this but it wasn't written down or it was and just didn't make it to the Bible. But, Paul is an Apostle of Jesus Christ and received revelation from the Godhead, period. What I would say about Romans Chapter 1 is that it sounded like an Apostle written by someone who may have been gay himself. He had that thorn in his side which I believe was that he had this same-sex attraction. However, after he repented and became Christ's prophet-apostle, he did not act on this sin. But, Romans Chapter 1 is obviously a statement on homosexual acts being vile sins. There are other statements in the NT that also say the same thing. 1Cor. 6:9, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind." There is no question Homosexual acts are deceived persons with vile sins. Deceived that it's natural because some penguins in the South Pole do it. Or, other animals. No one knows if animals have some sort of moral laws and that they will be punished in the eternities. There is nothing written on this. But, make no mistake, homosexual mental illness reprobate mind is learned from a person's environment including elementary school, middle school, high school and college and TV-movies.

    I'm sorry you don't have a clue and this is your downfall. It's clear as a bell that homosexual relations is unnatural, vile and sinful. If you believe otherwise, you have been deceived.

    "I don't put words in Gods mouth - so you are spewing falsehood claiming I have.

    If you want to follow Levitical Law - go ahead - and have fun stoning the adulterers. Jesus didn't follow that law and I follow Jesus"


    What is this gibberish - your claim was false - I don't put words in God's mouth .. You do. "Absense if Evidence" .. what a joke never stated otherwise. Just because you "Might be right" .. and perhaps God may have the characteristics you attribute - does not save you from the sin of "Speaking for God" - putting words in Gods mouth - as perhaps God does not think as you claim.

    What part of - Jesus didn't say that - and in fact he offered forgiveness for all manner of sin - sans the sin you keep committing.

    Maybe Paul did have a revelation from the Godhead - that does not make his every utterance "Inspired" - and in fact we can point out cases where Paul's pontifications are definitely not inspired . - but that is another story.

    I take the teachings from Jesus - not from Levitical Law as you are wont to do - not a fan of Sharia - nor Theocracy - and neither was Jesus.

    Its quite a joke with the fundamentalists - and raging hypocrisy at the same time - wanting Levitical law - but only for things they like.

    The Pepperoni Pizza dude comes to mind - didn't want to serve "Homo's" on the basis of levitical law .. just like you .. but whose chosen profession involves distribution and handling and likely consuming - a whole lot of pork.

    Wonder if he treats all his customers the same as the "Homo's - near all of them being violators of Levitical Law.

    Why are you so down on God's creation anyway - cause they see the world a little different than you .. if you don't like what God has created - then perhaps take it up with God at the pearly Gates .. while you are explaining all the words you put into his mouth .. the "unforgivable sin" - abomination of desolation.

    Except homosexuality and homosexual behavior exists in nature and thus is natural.
    Vile and sin are subjective — I think religious bigots are much worse than two adults who love one another — so you can assert those, but saying it isn’t natural is simply a lie.

    The way liberals think is beyond understanding. No clue what they are actually doing to this world. If we are no different from "nature" (animals) then no problem with genocide. Is there? The same thinking that Mao, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Castro, Dahmer and every other killer thinks as well. What is actually going on is all the modern liberals are really the 1960's Population Control (murder) gang using things like climate control, racism, critical race theory, religious attacks, word manipulations and destructions, LGBTQ crap and other leftist agenda to push their fascism and communism to destroy the United States of America and the Constitution because both were inspired of God. God, religion and beliefs have to be destroyed in order for the State to be King.

    None of this rant has to do with you inventing your own definitions.

    Homosexuality is natural.
    Religion is not.

    God doesn’t have to be destroyed, if one existed it has already been destroyed by people claiming to hate and ridicule others in its name.

    Which I am sure you do.
