Okay, so, which passages are those, because though I read and read the bible all the time, I'm not quite one who has everything memorized, especially since this isn't really a topic I get involved in too often. And I'm not quite to the point where I can flip it open and know where to look.

Yes we are going to do what God's word tells us to do. We are going to put things in context and then give the appropriate action according to how things are supposed to be handed after Christ death, burial and resurrection.

So lets see those scriptures with the death sentence were before Christ, and since He conqueor death that punishment doesn't hold. Well, it doesn't hold if we take the entire word and put things in prespective.

Now, in the NT 1 Cor. 5:1-13 is one scripture that speaks to being separated from unrepenant brethern. I believe there are some others and will look for them.

of course if one really wishes to view the bible in context and with literal translations then no where does one find a condemnation for homosexuals.


the Leviticus passages don’t work at all. multiple times in Leviticus we see the admonition against having carnal knowledge with a list of other people (or sheep) However neither Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 says that the specific word used in Shakab.

Shakab is used 52 times in the old testament and is always used to a sexual encounter typified by deceit or force, in other words, some type of rape.

Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 means that a man shall not force, or in any way coerce, another man to have sex, in the way that a man is allowed to force sex upon his wife. In other words, man is not allowed to rape a man, it is an abomination.


A man raping a man is no more a description of homosexuality than a man raping a woman is a description of heterosexuality.

Who said God had a problem with homosexuals? God takes issue with SIN and the sin of the homosexual, not the homosexual,is what has been addressed.

So if you are a homosexual or heterosexual, come on to Church. You are indeed welcome. But neither the homosexual or heterosexual unrepentant sinner needs to be allowed to sit in the Body if the sin is known and the person will not go through the Church Discipline process.
