True that

It is not a "denomination" it is a "cult".

It's not limited to the Old Testament...

Romans 1: 26-27
26 Because of this, God gave them overb to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Timothy 1:9-10
We also know that the law is made not for the righteous, but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine

It’s easy to forget that the New Testament endorses the Old. Jesus is quoted as having said that not one ‘jot or tittle’ of the Hebrew Law should be altered (Matthew 5:18). In Christian theology, the entire canon is to be taken as one precept.

@p-nullifidian I stand corrected.

Or just divorced people as Beowulfsfriend suggested. That rule is in the Bible. Rest assured, he would find (create) some excuse why he would be exempt from biblical rules.

@RussRAB His mixed threads must cancel out the divorce.

Just the heterosexual GOP members, please.

Oh, I've got another 6 days left in a week's Twitter Jail for doing exactly what you're saying. I don't do Twitter much, anyway, so it's of no big deal but the hypocritical nature of censorship doesn't escape me.

@rainmanjr I am just very careful how I word things on Twitter.

@barjoe I go on once every other week, or so, and was on for ten minutes when I wrote (in relation to a RW twit's latest cray-cray) that I hoped she got brain cancer. That was it. I'm okay with being banned forever on it.

@rainmanjr That'll do it. You can't wish harm on a person. Twitter is weird. If you had said, "It would be ironic if she got brain cancer, not that I'd ever want that to happen" that might pass the smell test.

@barjoe Thanks for the tip.

Perfect response, and just.

God, and thus Jesus, did hate on gays plenty in the Bible, both Old and New Testament. When the WBC says, "God hates fags" it's because he does, in fact, hate homosexuals. This is why all gay people should abandon any religion based on the Bible.

@ChestRockfield remind me again how Jesus hated on gays in the Old Testament?

@Barnie2years Jesus is god. God is Jesus. Omniscient. Omnipresent. Given the tenets of faith of Christianity, there's no legitimate way to claim he didn't. Any claim to the contrary is nothing but doublespeak, an attempted loophole to avoid the devastating consequences of the juxtaposition of the powers they purport he had and the text they claim he wrote and inspired.
God (and thus Jesus) did not mince words anywhere in the Bible about how detestable homosexuality was.

@ChestRockfield Only for trinitarians

@Beowulfsfriend There are Christians that don't believe Jesus is god?

@ChestRockfield Maybe you should do some research and history of Christianity. The trinity was voted on in the 300s. You may have heard about the Council of Nicaea. If you attend most xtion churches, one may recite the Nicene Creed. There continues, even today, to be xtions that do not follow the trinity. Unitarians have existed for centuries. Some of the older Mideastern Christian sects aren't trinitarians; many died out and the people turned to Islam so as not to be praying to multiple gods, as some see Christian's attachment to the trinity. I think the largest, non-trinitarrian sect are the Jehovah's Witnesses.

@ChestRockfield He (God) doesn't hate anybody because He doesn't exist.

@Flyingsaucesir Yeah, you are correct. I said in my first response, "supposed" Jesus. And, while he is a professed atheist, he is still using xtion arguments that aren't even "historically" true for xtions, just like so many evangelicals do. I once had an evangelical tell me there was no vote on the trinity, it was in the bibly and then spout the verses, that I pointed out were used by those who in the 300s used to argue for it.

@Beowulfsfriend Eh, I guess I wasn't counting JWs. They identify as Christians, I guess. I generally use the definition of Christian as one who believes in the divinity of Jesus Christ. The "definition" of Christian is one who believes in and abides the teachings of Jesus Christ, however, an exceedingly small percentage of people who identify as such actually follow any of what Jesus taught, so to me it only makes sense to use the definition that most accurately describes the largest percentage of that population. (See: countless memes of "Republican Jesus" ) I also generally don't care about what something was or how it started when it has drastically evolved since. Would you consider the Republican party to be an organization that cares about small government and individual liberty? I sure as hell don't. So why would I think about that definition when I say or hear the word 'Republican' if that's not what it means or stands for anymore?
As for the "he is still using xtion arguments" bit, you grasp that I'm not making the argument that god hates homosexuals or homosexuality, right? I don't believe in god, nor do I give a fuck about Christians, what they want, or what they believe. I'm not trying to advance their position or argue their side. The point is to show how horrific Christianity is and force people to pick a side. It is not dissimilar than pointing out all of the awful shit Trump has done to the religious right. e.g. "Hey, people who tout their belief in the sanctity of marriage and morality, that guy you're considering voting for cheated on 3 wives, divorced two, fucked a porn star then paid her hush money, etc. etc. Are you willing to compromise all of your beliefs to get him elected? If you are, I refuse to let you vote for him without facing the fact that you're betraying everything you claim you stood for."
So similar to that, I'm saying, to anyone who supports any Christian organization in any way, shape, or form, that they need to own all the ugliness of it. That their organization hates on homosexuals. That it funds methods of protecting child-molesting clergy. That it helps elect people that fight against equal rights, social progress, voting rights, general tenets of democracy, and about a billion other terrible things about that party. So please don't misunderstand the point of my words.

Most people advocate murder all the time. They play games which train them how to carry it out and watch entertainment about people who have murdered other people so every reason to believe that they mean it, on some level, and it might make someone else carry out the deed. Very few are going to jail for these threats because they are considered American lexicon and free speech.
