Just posting to point out that while the Bible prohibits male on male homosexuality it doesn't say a single word against girl on girl as far as I am aware, it's all explicit man on man.

There is only one New Testament reference to lesbians in Romans:
1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

But according to Deuteronomy, cross dressing by either sex is an abomination, so that would condemn your average bull dyke anyway.
22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

So, if Good ol' "I AM" and Jesus are the invisible sky fairy's of your understanding, then yes... being a lesbian will put you on the fast track to Hell wearing gasoline underpants.

I went back into the 'holy text', I seen issues!

Cause, meet effect.

You read it, so you see issues.

It's not a finished work in its present condition. Batteries needed. Some assembly required.

Or, rather, disassembly, cleaning and reassembly. Bear in mind that few other texts have gone through so many revisions by so many people over so much time. If you want to pay attention to it, you'll either have to eyeball it or do a lot of work to sort out what's what. I figure, since the churches have pretty much given up on making a pass at the latter, it's a fair bit of work.

Now, I have had some say 'we are no longer under the Law or OT. This is just a scapegoat for them to try to get around all the SILLY stuff in the Law.

The local priest was, eventually, in perfect agreement on this. I now have a dinner invitation to help debug the rest for him.

quote:

He hasn’t the slightest objection to the cruelties of the Old Testament.

Ehrm... go back. Retry. His objection isn't to the message, but to (a) what we've done with it, and (b) what we keep doing to it.

"Judaism. You're doing it wrong." - Jesus (paraphrased)

quote:

There is WAY more than this on this topic, but that should PROVE just somewhat how SILLY this book is, and how we CANNOT LIVE BY IT'S STANDARDS (how many people would be alive today if we Killed all these people).

Nothing silly about it. Something silly about us. Which it tries to comment on, but we're too silly to listen.

IWYW,

Pretty vague, it doesn't say exactly what it is they're doing and given the society it really could be anything, maybe they all became feminists? Took a vow of chastity? Even if it is refering to lesbian orgies, it's more a general dissaproving glance than a "and they all burned in Hell ever after".

I stand by my Bible's fine with lesbians stance.
