Woke is Marxism Evolved to Take on the West

I don't agree with it. And neither do other Christians. It's a monstrously evil thing to say. The point is that you agree with it.

Ah, so you're still making it personal.
How about not doing that?

I could find many more Bible passages that you wouldn't like and that I agree with. But it's still God's Word that you're not liking. Perhaps it isn't the fact that I agree with it, but that you simply don't like what God's Word says.

None that call for the death of gay people. Some of whom are members of this forum.

Actually, there is one:
Leviticus 20:13
13 fIf a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

That's the one being referenced in the NT and that I quoted earlier.

But then again, as I said earlier, it is not saying that we're supposed to go around killing gay people. It simply states what they deserve under God's law. As I also said earlier, it says that we are all under the same law, and are deserving of death. We all have the same way through Jesus Christ for forgiveness of our sins. However, some people are happier being proud of the things that make them deserving of death, and openly celebrated it out in the streets.

Yet again, nobody has suggested that. You've just been asked whether you agree with the quote you gave which was about gay people. In a thread about gay people discussing gay people and almost certainly read by some gay people. You do agree with it. What else is there for you to say?

Oh, maybe 'yeah, I was completely wrong about gay people and paedophiles.' You could say that.

It is important that you understand most people use English in a more convential fashion For example if someone says "every citizen deserves a vote" they are saying it is important to make sure every citizen gets a vote.

I do think people are animals but I am careful not to call people animals, there is no point in deliberately saying things some people take the wrong way and rant about being a victim of personal attacks

 

[perplexed]

I also know children are similar to monkeys but I don't refer to them as monkeys

Since the quote is from scripture, and that's the problem you had with it, you want me to disagree with what scripture says. Post 202, 209, and 213 are examples.

It's nothing to do with what I want. It's your call.

I agree with what the Bible says.

And the Bible says gays deserve to be killed, right? Own it. This shouldn’t be hard, you’re backed by the creator of the universe on this. Just say it.

Then quit complaining about what I agree with.

It goes further than "deserve" death. The expectation at that time was that the community should and would put them to death.

Hmmm. Sounds as if God saw it as a pretty serious thing.

I’m aware, it’s just interesting you won’t say in your own words that gay people deserve to be killed. You will agree with a Bible verse to that effect because you have decided you cannot disagree with any part of the Bible, but you cannot bring yourself to express a Biblical declaration as your own opinion. I think you don’t really agree with it, but your own moral and intellectual cowardice will never allow you to confront that incongruence. How tedious.

You think I shouldn't complain that people agree that gays deserve death? Seriously? I should let that simply drift off and shrug my shoulders and give it a pass because, hey - it was a bible quote? Maybe I shouldn't treat it like it's a big deal that someone says that some of my friends and family deserve to die.

You think?

 

[ralliann]

We can agree to disagree there. Since your basis for rejecting homosexuality as a valid lifestyle

Since biblically it is sin, no lifestyle would be valid. Since Christianity is based upon forgiveness of sin, we all know we ourselves are sinners.

We all deserve death because we all are sinners. That is the foundation of Christian need for a savior. Christ took that death upon himself.

We are in a new covenant made in Christ's blood. We do not kill people for sins against God.

I think you don’t really agree with it, but your own moral and intellectual cowardice will never allow you to confront that incongruence. How tedious.

You do not understand the difference between the new covenant of Christianity, not the old covenant made with the Nation of Israel. Their covenant concerned this world this life. The Christian covenant concerns the next world, the next life. You do not know what you are talking about. we are judged by God after we die, in the resurrection. You will die, so will I. The difference is In the world to come we live forever in new bodies, the unbelievers will not. Israel as a nation was only a shadow, and pattern of that next world.
You can think that is stupid, but it is the truth. Yes, we are to make just law of government in this world, but that concerns our sin against our fellow man, believer or not.

I’m familiar with a variety of attempted rationalizations for the incongruity between biblical values and modern conventional values, including the idea of a new covenant. The argument that all of human nature is sinful and deserving of death is a particularly weak defense of the biblical condemnation of gay people. You could do that with any arbitrary trait a radical group of Christians decided was bad. “Do you believe Black people deserve to be killed?” “Well, technically everyone deserves to be killed due to our sinful nature so yes.” That’s not really what the question is asking. The old Jewish laws don’t call for everyone to be killed. Just particular offenders, among them gay people. Would you defend that?

It is in fact done in Islamic countries today. But, you are up in arms over Christianity, barely a word about Islam. hmmmm.
And yes, the death penalty was for certain sins. But all had punishment. It is why Israel has been in Exile.
