Why is homosexuality condemned in the Bible?

So the Iron Age was 2,000 years ago?

The old testament is older than 2000 years old. Yes, it was written in the iron age. The new testament was written during the bronze age.

And, since the cherry picked stuff about homosexuality that the cafeteria christians defer to was in the old testament,it is fair and correct to say it is stupid nonsense written by dumb fuckers from the iron age.

What makes you think they were so "dumb" back in antiquity?


Back in 2012, Americans sold their birthright for an Obamaphone. At least Esau got a tasty stew for his, back in the day.

Sorry, I will call them ignorant, superstitious and terrified, if you prefer.

1 Corinthians 11:11
11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

Man and woman were created to be together and when they are joined together they become one flesh. This is a union that can be eternal in nature.

Matthew 19:5-6
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

In this union, God has given man the power to be more like God. The power of procreation should be held sacred and only used within the prescribed use that God has given man. Devils do not have this power but God has the power to procreate children. Only those who learn to honor this gift from God will have this power in the eternities. Acts that denigrate this wonderful power given to us by God are adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bestiality, etc.

The Catholic church's teachings on celibacy are not a life long teaching in Christ. Such teachings are for missionaries in the field. It is the purpose of man to leave his father and mother and be joined with his wife.

Mark 10:6-8
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

....aaaaand not one word of that condemns homosexuality. But it condemns being single, kinda. That's a fine example of cafeteria christianity, thanks for posting it.

maybe you can find a condemnation of homosexuality in these statements:

Leviticus 18:22
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 20:13
13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Of course I can, since i posted, literally on this very page, that this nonsense is found in the old testament.

By the way, you shouldn't take your morality from the piece of vile, immoral trash that is the Book of Leviticus.

Being the fact that you don't know shit about that period other than what you've read in books, it doesn't matter what you think or call them! At least they were apparently smarter than you and had the good sense not to stick their dicks in another guy's ass!

Why are cheeseburgers condemned in the Bible?

The law is to keep meat separate from dairy. Dairy products are fed to babies who have no teeth. Meat is for adults with teeth.

This instruction is about keeping what is taught to children separate from what adults who chew the cud,(think deeply), teach and learn.

The law has nothing whatever to do with cheeseburgers, or food at all. duh.


Eating a cheeseburger cannot defile a person. Swallowing the garbage that God was wearing diapers on Christmas defiles a person as completely as someone who believes that eating a cheeseburger can.

these creatures do not ruminate. Their flesh defiles and contaminates the mind.

smarten up.

The prohibition, mentioned three separate times in scripture, distinctly mentions the cooking and consumption of meat and dairy.

'You are not to boil a young animal in its mother’s milk' (Exodus 23:19).

'You shalt not boil a kid in his mother's milk' (Exodus 34:26).

'Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk' (Deuteronomy 14:21).

There is no mention of childhood education or the slightest hint the scripture is being metaphorical.

Let's face it, if you go into Burger King, you've entered the gates of Hell itself.

" When Life Or Death Depends On Unity Versus Division "

* Phenomenology And Repentance *

Have you ever smelled your own urine after having unprotected sex with a woman on her period ?

It is difficult to imagine what one might be doing to themselves with unprotected anal sex .

In religious societies , public policy often doubles for science and such things as allergic reactions to shellfish , or trichinosis from swine , led to directives against their consumption .

Likewise , anal sex is an act that does not facilitate progeny and is therefore considered unnatural and essentially unclean due to excrement .

Nature is reflexive , and something that modern societies often take for granted is safety and ability to mitigate affliction , while older societies equate deviance with susceptibility to curse - see Butterfly effect - Wikipedia .

Uh...what the **** kind of idiotic comment is that? And...you DO know something about the iron age that is not in books? What, do you have a time machine?

Nothing could surpass the idiocy of calling a people you never knew ignorant, superstitious and terrified just because YOU are too ignorant, superstitious and terrified of what they represent to face the facts.

• A people who quarried, cut and fit stone to last thousands of years that the best engineers today cannot even guess at how they did it.
• A people so advanced that despite a lack of materials, knowledge and crude technology, made discoveries and brilliant advances which are the cornerstones of our society and science we use today.
• A people who had direct access to people known to live at that time, such as Jesus, Moses, Noah and others who passed down the word of God as given direct to them for all future generations, that because your puny statist ideology is so threatened by it and cannot refute or deny it, have to resort to puerile attacks on them as a people in a pathetic attempt to dismiss their existence.

Of course, they were very ignorant and superstitious. You agree 100%. But religion has warped your mind, and you cant act normal when the topic of your prefetred magical fetish arises.

By the way, since you could not POSSIBLY have learned any of that in one of those fancy "books"... How did you learn it? Did you handle snakes and speak in tongues it it was divined to you?

God kicked Adam and Eve out of his house because they had hetero sex and Adam didn't choose to stay in homo heaven with god. Look it up.

For instance you can teach your children that Elijah was 'taken up' into heaven in a whirlwind, but by the age of 13 they should be able to comprehend that being "taken up' is just a euphemism for being lynched by a mob.

If you keep telling them that he literally was 'taken up' into the sky even as adults you will only succeed in perpetuating mental illness.

We know that homosexuality is condemned in the Bible, but why?

Some Christians say it is because God's plan was for man and woman to join in the sacrament of matrimony, and be fruitful and multiply.

So, homosexuality, by that logic, is not condemned because of what it is, it is condemned because it diverts a person from doing what they are commanded to do, which is be fruitful and multiply.

But then, there's a question.

Why does the Catholic faith command certain persons to remain celibate and/or chaste in order to serve God?

Would not a life of celibacy and/or chastity be just as sinful as a life spent in the homosexual lifestyle?

And on a broader note, are all men and woman who never marry living a sinful life?

I think we need a serious discussion, so let's not have the usual malarky.

The only way to grow a religion is to have as many babies as possible. And in those days seven out of every 10 babies died.
It was all about growing the religion.
These days, Republicans just hate gay people. Who knows why. They hate so many different people.

It may have something to do with the staggering STD rates among gay males. Only about 10% of the population is gay but they account for well over half of all new HIV and STD cases in the US every year. The male sex drive is simply too strong and needs a female to throw some cold water on it to help cool things down a bit.
