The Bible is not a handbook for modern Christians and was always intended to evolve.
Christianity has evolved over the centuries and the word “Modern” you wrote explains exactly why.
Then how do you justify using the Bible to protest gay marriage? Seems very hypocritical of you. Also, don't you think it is possible that there are Muslims who don't support the uniform implementation of Sharia Law? Turkey is a Muslim country that doesn't have Sharia Law.

The book of leviticus also says: eating shellfish is an abomination, working on the sabath is an abomination, also tattooing your flesh and eating swine. Ive found in life,those who condemn homosexuality the loudest, are closeted homosexuals themselves
I believe you are a log cabin republican.

According to the Jews, leviticus is the unadulterated word of god,as dictated to Moses on Mt. Sinai. so yes, thinking, and research just aint your thing, closet sodomite. 😛

The liberals here have been all over Leviticus so I simply pointed out the part of it (18:22) that says homosexuality is an abomination and a mortal sin.

Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Matthew 22:35-40
Doug: "love your God with all your heart..."
If you love him, you follow his laws. He gave his laws to Moses. The Ten Commandments. Additionally the laws regarding marriage, sex were given to Levites, and ALL the other groups. He destroyed towns and habitations who did not follow his laws, the city of Sodom was only one place that was destroyed, and you can read WHY and what they were doing there for clarification. He destroyed Muslim cities for these same offenses, which are homosexuality, drinking and carrying on.
Muleman: The Bible says in MANY places that homosexuality is an abomination, and that those who do that must be put to death. He says it is detestable. He warns people not to do that, you are correct and nobody wants to admit that.
Shariah has evolved, because it is interpretations of God's laws by religious scholars.
The New Testament is not something is meant to evolve to fit the changing needs of society or the culture or the people. It is God's examples and warnings to people of the time in which he lived.
2112: Pork was forbidden to ALL the religions. It is one of the hardest things I gave up, growing up I loved bacon sandwiches with tomatoes and mayo. But now, when I get a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit at McDonalds, I take the bacon off and do not eat it, as much as I want it, because God said not to eat bacon, bologna, pork. I like pork chops with onions and pineapple, but I will NOT eat it now that I KNOW the laws, because God says so.
Re: the Founding Fathers, the Founding fathers consecrated the first capital of the US which was in New York City, near Ground Zero (World Trade Center ground zero area) and dedicated it to God, they also said if the nation ever strayed so far away from God in it's beliefs practives, God should take it away from them.
George Washington said "the propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules or order and right which heaven itself hath ordained". Ground zero was consecrated on April 30, 1789 at the Federal Hall as a nation dedicated to God. It was here Washington took the oath as the First President of the United States, at Federal Hall (at Ground Zero) in New York City. He put his hand on the Bible and took the oath of office.
Get THE HARBINGER from Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and find out why 9.11 happened and what else is to come and why.
ANALYSIS: So homosexuality was forbidden to the Jews, Christians, Muslims. We have the highest court in our land DEMANDING we as a nation recognize and accept this Godly forbidden practice. Usury was forbidden too, yet we have a worldwide financial system based on it, the stock exchanges etc. We have a govt. threatening to shutdown if we do not embrace the murder or fetal babies and the sale of their body parts. We have the Church of Satan opening branches all over the US, using our Constitution's Freedom of Speech and religion as their protection. WHAT DO YOU THINK GOD'S answers can be to a nation of people who go along with these things?

But first you need to decide if Leviticus is God's Law or not. You seem to keep changing your mind on this. If it is, then along with the gays we also need to round up everyone who has had sex before marriage, eaten pork and shellfish, has a tattoo, worked on the sabbath, and said the Lord's name in vain and have a "big stone these people to death party." If Leviticus isn't God's law, then homosexuality should be treated the same way to modern day Christians as eating bacon. Both capital offenses according to the Bible that get ignored out of convenience to modern day Christians.

Leviticus 18:22
Your views on homosexuality are right in line with Islam!
Ok . . . well, let's look at your answer. . . I gotta say Leviticus is kind of weak, if you really want to bring the hammer down on homosexuals you really ought to consider converting to Islam!
Compare:
Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
Well, Muslims believe in the God of Abraham too, and that passage is pretty lightweight compared to the Koran, which is derived from the Old Testament:
The Qur'an and Homosexuality:
There are five references in the Qur'an which have been cited as referring to gay and lesbian behavior. Some obviously deal with effeminate men and "masculine women." The two main references to homosexual behavior are:
"We also sent Lut : He said to his people : "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds." Qur'an 7:80-81
"What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males, and leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay, but ye are forward folk." Qur'an 26:165
Both references relate to gay sexual activities; lesbian practices are not mentioned in the Qur'an.
Lut is referred to as "Lot" in the Hebrew Scriptures. This passage is an apparent reference to the activities at Sodom and Gamorah. It seems to imply that there was no homosexual behavior before it first appeared in Sodom. This is a uniquely Islamic concept; it does not appear in Jewish or Christian beliefs. The passage also links the sin of Sodom (the reason for its destruction) to homosexuality.That linkage is contradicted by other verses in the Hebrew Scriptures.
The Hadith and homosexuality: The Hadith are collections of sayings attributed to Muhammad. Many Hadiths (ahadith) discuss liwat (sexual intercourse between males). Two examples are:
"When a man mounts another man, the throne of God shakes."
"Kill the one that is doing it and also kill the one that it is being done to." (in reference to the active and passive partners in gay sexual intercourse)

Calif. Kindergartener Kicked Out of Christian School for Having 2 Moms
Provided by Washington Post
A five-year-old San Diego, Calif. girl is at home, instead of starting off kindergarten with her friends, because her school, the Mt. Erie Christian Academy, refused to welcome her any longer because she has two moms, KGTV reports.
The child, who had attended Mt. Erie for pre-school and summer school was abruptly cut off when her parents were called in on the Friday before Labor Day, just before school started, where the pastor broke the news.
"It was heartbreaking,” Sheena, who didn't want her last name to be used, told the news station. “I didn't finish the conversation with them when they took us in the room because I just, I didn't want to look at them any longer. I just couldn't believe that they did that."
"They told us, ‘oh this is not about your child,’ but it is about my child," the stay-at-home mom added.
The mothers are seeking an attorney to file a civil rights lawsuit against the school. When asked by the news team if it was discrimination to stop the child from attending because of her mothers, a woman who described herself as the school's director, said, "The Bible says homosexuality is a sin. We don't condone any sinful lifestyles."
KGTV got a copy of the school's parent and student handbook which was revised over the summer. Under the school's statement of nondiscrimination, the handbook declared the school's right to "refuse admission of an applicant or to discontinue enrollment of a student."
"This includes, but is not necessarily limited to, living in, condoning or supporting sexual immorality; practicing homosexual lifestyle or alternative gender identity; promoting such practices; or otherwise having the inability to support the moral principles of the school," the handbook continued, according to the news station.
"If we knew from the beginning that this was unacceptable, they didn't condone or believe in this, if it was such a big deal, we would have never started her off there," Sheena countered. "I would never put my child's emotional wellbeing in an unstable setting like that."
Mt. Erie, as a private instution, does have a First Amendment right to bar membership based on religious beliefs, San Diego attorney Eugene Iredale pointed out to the news station, however Sheena says that the family is prepared to fight their case.
"I want my baby to be safe when she grows up. I don't want her to ever have to be discriminated against because of her lifestyle. That's not fair," the mother said.
Meanwhile, a little girl is sitting at home, sometimes coloring by herself, as she waits to get into a new school.
"I miss my friends. I miss my teachers," the child told the news station.
In this case, being a private Christian school, it seems the school is well within their rights.
There is nothing in the Bible or Koran that specifically prohibits lesbianism.
The organization representing Davis has been declared a hate group. So, they've got that going for them.
Kim Davis And Her Law Firm Just Got Some Very, Very Bad News
The law firm representing Kim Davis has joined the likes of the Family Research Council and the KKK after being designated a hate group by the renowned Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
SPLC has been busy identifying and tackling hate groups across the U.S since the 1980s, and their latest addition is Liberty Counsel, the law firm representing Kim Davis. What was it that moved SPLC to rank the firm in this way? In short, they claim Liberty Counsel have repeatedly disseminated misinformation, rumor, and lies to defame the LGBT community in behalf of their client.
Despite a pretty extensive list of on-the-record hate speech against the gay community, Staver and Liberty Counsel cried foul at the designation.
“It is irresponsible and reckless to call someone a hate group because you disagree with them,” Staver told AP.
It’s a remarkable defense, given the litany of “irresponsible and reckless” accusations Staver has made about the gay community.
In a radio broadcast in August, Kim Davis’ lawyer Matt Staver compared Equal Marriage to sodomizing children.
“To force someone like that to give a license for something that will legalize, that will put a stamp of approval on something that is absolute rebellion against God, sinful, then that is a direct collision of unprecedented magnitude,” he said.
He continued, arguing that making Davis issue same-sex marriage licenses was equal to forcing her to “grant a license to engage in pornography, to grant a license to sodomize children or something of that nature.”
The fine minds at Right Wing Watch have put together a list of 10 further examples where Staver makes truly horrific comments about LGBT people. They include labeling gay people “demonic,” calling for a total ban on homosexuality, portraying gay people as child molesters, comparing gay people to terrorists, and demanding that only heterosexual people should hold public office.
Like many bigots, Davis and Staver want to have their cake and eat it too; to spew the most hateful and baseless accusations at the gay community and have their hands washed clean of the libel by “religious conviction.”
But even other faith-based civil rights advocates are lining up against Davis and Liberty Counsel now. Barry Lynn, a minister and executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, told AP:
“There is an enormous amount of bluster amid [Staver’s] legal arguments.”
“It looks to me like he’s making claims that will get his clients great publicity, but not necessarily get them victories.”
If a person is to be judged by the company they keep, then here is further evidence that Kim Davis is more belligerent bigot than freedom fighter. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
