thanks for the insult, I know you can do better, that barely caught my attention, skimmed right over it at first glance. lol.
Not an insult, but a correct observation. Examine yourself (2 Cor 13:5).
That is why it was ironic, as "your words are (sic) do not correctly express the teachings of Jesus" either....
The bible says many things, some contradictions. People, such as yourself, enjoy the art of eisegesis, then scold or shame others for not accepting the perversion.
Another reveal of the root. Even Jesus said the scriptures could not be broken (John 10:35) and told people they were wrong, because they did not know them (Matt 22:29) and that we were to live by every word (Matt 4:4).
Why do you not believe Jesus?
Why do you not accept that the scriptures are good for rebuking (2 Tim 3:16).
Why is your root different from those who wrote the NT?
oh boy, my lucky day, two lame insults in the same post. I must really bother you, and in that I accept that honor with great gratitude. Thank you, one for all.
(btw, my fruit is quite peachy, thank you for inquiring)
Again, the fruit reveals the tree. Since your fruit is different than the people who wrote the NT, then your tree must be as well...

The Bible also says And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers
they shall be an abomination unto you. (Lev 11:10) So why aren't you admonishing people who eat shellfish? It says the woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man
all that do so are abomination unto the Lord. (Deu 22:5) So why aren't you admonishing women who wear pants or a suit? The Mosaic Law says that if a bride is found not to be a virgin, she should be stoned to death in front of her father (De 22:20-21), and a rape victim must consent to marry her rapist (De 22:28-29) So why aren't you admonishing rape victims who don't marry their rapists and demanding that every bride who is not a virgin be put to death?.
There is this law called the natural law. Its been around since, creation.
"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." Rom 1:20
"For when the Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them," Rom 2:14,15
Which will judge them at the end (v16).
So why the pointing at ordinances? What do shellfish have to do with this law?
You seem very selective in your admonishments.
We all can be, depending upon the situation. But as pointed out to you before, that doesn't make the admonishment false. It just means the selective admonisher has a problem.
Perhaps you should have understood that, Christ has become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. (Gal 5:4) Then you wouldnt have made that mistake. As far as adultery, Jesus may have admonished them but the church sure doesn't. Jesus said nothing about homosexuality, but every church I know of welcomes divorced people with open arms.
Jesus did say everything about homosexuality.
Just as Ex 3:6 spoke about the resurrection based upon a verb tense (Matt 22:32) so to making them male and female (Gn 1:27 Matt 19:4). To get anything other than male and female their must be sin, corruption. In a perfect world there could not be homosexuality, it literally requires sin to exist.
Not to mention since nothing has been created without the Word, Jesus also testifies against homosexuality through His creation.
Jesus testifies against homosexuality both through God's word about creation and creation itself.
America doesn't have a 'special relationship' with God, and the fact that those calling themselves Christians are persecuting the most persecuted and treating the poor like garbage is proof.
Christians calling sin what it is are not persecuting. People claiming to be Christians and actually attacking others, do not have the fruit of a Christian.
Christians do take care of the poor. Not doing it through government is a different topic, if that is what you meant.
They know its no more a sin to be created gay than it is for Christians to lust after the opposite sex. I'm admonishing religious hypocrites who hate and scapegoat others, to avoid looking at the log in their own eye, to knock it off.
Once again if one is a Christian, their log is gone because they have the Spirit. There cannot be a log in the Spirit.
"[...]and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him." Rom 8:8,9
Christians telling others to repent, follow Jesus and sin no more are not hypocrits. The inside of their cup is clean (Matt 23:25,26). They are preaching the Gospel. You have a problem with the Gospel.

Biblical marriage consists of a feminine person and a masculine person coming into union for a lifetime commitment.
Actually its a man and woman (Matt 19:4,5).
The creation of man and woman is the reason why they come together to be joined (v 5).
Homosexuality is a perversion of that creation just as gay marriage is a perversion to marriage. You had a good quote earlier.... something must go wrong in order for homosexuality to exist.
