Leviticus and homosexuality

[buckthesystem]

Homosexuality is clearly wrong, it is a sin, it is not a "sexual" sin because it has very little to do with sex, it is a perversion. It is wrong specifically because it is a sin against your own body, and the body is "a temple". It is not about "sex" because so called "homosexual sex" uses the anus and the anus is not a sexual organ. Sodomy is no more "just another sex act" (as some would have you believe) than is bestiality, necrophilia or masturbation with an object.

I think the danger for society lies in euphemisms for the homosexual act. Talk of "gay" marriages, relationships, "dating", "gay sex", "homophobia". All these terms seek to normalise "the gay lifestyle" and make people think it all "warm and fuzzy" and "inclusive" and "tolerant" to "celebrate diversification in society". However, when we are honest and realise that we are actually talking about the act of sodomy or very confused women pretending that they "don't need men" and calling themselves "lesbians" we have a different view entirely.

The word "homophobia" has got to be one of the most ridiculous words to grace the 20th and 21st centuries. We have forgotten that, when broken down, it literally means "a fear of oneself", if nothing else we have admitted to the stupidity of letting go of the prefix "homo" and letting it be accepted as pertaining to sodomy, and otherwise, we have let the word "homophobia" - or rather the fear of being labelled "homophobic" - scare us into accepting the politically correct idea that homosexuality has nothing whatsoever to do religion or God and it is being "bigoted" to claim otherwise.

It is for this reason that Leviticus says things that are just as important as any other part of the Bible. We cannot go "picking and choosing" from scripture and deciding what we want to take notice of and what has been "superceded". God has made the rules, not people.

Homosexuality has ZIP to do with "rights." Opposition to this blatant sin is rooted in biological, psychological, sociological & biblical facts. Transgenerational death can hardly be any sane person's idea of social progress.

Actually, they think it is alright to have that and They thinks that God made the man that way but it is not true. God didnt made the man to feel that way being a "gay" I dont believe that. God has plans for everyone in this world. They are trying to destroy God's plans for everyone. Its really sad because they dont actual follow what the Bible says saying do not defile yourselves in those practices or being like that. LIke people say oh I was born that way to be a gay or lesbian. God didnt make that person like that no way.

I love the sinner but not sin. same thing as God he does love the sinner but hate sin.

many people are twisting the truth and bend the truth and it is very dangerous and they are decieving themselves. God didnt decieving them at all. They people are doing themselves not from God at all

Further, I never tire of stressing, the human rectum with its absorbent & delicate lining - not to mention the dangerous bacteria of the lower gut - is not suited for homosexual purposes. Why fuel the madness? Repetez apres moi: "Fegettabowit!" All people with even a modicum of common sense should be dancing in the aisles at THAT medical fact!

Now, I understand that Leviticus states one should not "lie with a man as with a woman." I am not going to get into a debate as to whether or not the bible states homosexuality is morally wrong. I know it does.

How important is this statement compared to other verses? Why do Christians put homosexuality above other other verses that may not *seem* as important. Leviticus also contains laws and instructions regarding clean and unclean animals, proper practices of sacrifice and slavery. It also says you cannot wear mixed fabrics.

Also, how do you respond to those who argue the Old Testament should now be disregarded in favor of the New Testament?

Thanks in advance.

not only does the old testament speak about it, but also the New.... and the New also speaks of other things... those that are liars, will not partake in the Kingdom.... those that are sexually immoral will not partake.... and others....

with out the Old Testament, we have no foundation for the New Testament... and... Christ did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it...

The Laws still stand. the Commandmenst of God still stand in the New Testament, God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Remember that He told us, If you Love Me, you will keep My commandments...

this does not mean we are free to live the way we want if we want Christ to abide in us... Good and Evil can not co-exist in one dwelling, a person either has Christ, or they do not.
