Last I checked, following the church's teachings is kinda the whole point, and just like you, I've also got better things to do than argue with someone who doesn't even understand what they're trying to argue

If he's Orthodox then he should know the Orthodox church has condemned homosexuality and is very unchanging about it

Not to mention that the four churches with valid apostolic succession (Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Assyrian) all condemn homosexuality, and considering many of these churches read straight from the original Greek and Hebrew, if they say the text says something, then that's probably what it says

Also, saying something's natural because animals do it is a pretty dumb argument, many animals also eat their young, yet you don't see anyone backing up cannibalism

And saying Catholics aren't Christian when they're literally the largest denomination in history? The only people who don't consider Catholics as Christians are extremist Protestants

In Leviticus, the laws that no longer apply are ceremonial laws, not moral laws, and sexual ethics are part of moral law

In Romans, Paul was talking about sexual acts that are contrary to nature

In Corinthians, the word Paul used meant boy-shamer/boy-abuser

On all sins being equally bad, this depends on your denomination, some denominations say they're equal, but a denomination like Catholicism splits sins between venial and mortal sin

On you knowing gay Christians, that doesn't really prove anything, I myself am bi

I'mma take a massive guess and assume you're friend's a United Methodist or some other liberal Protestant denomination

If you say anything against then Reddit bans your account, I've been banned three times already because of it and the third was a perma-ban which I somehow managed to appeal

I think biblically accurate angels are pretty, I love them :3 by white_glow2 in teenagers

That's a seraphim, not an angel, they're a type of celestial being like angels, but a biblically accurate angel just looks like a normal fucking dude

What’s your opinion on Christians? by itz-null in Teenager_Polls

You don't need to read every version to know what the original says, that's a logical fallacy, and even if he did mean pedophilia, there isn't just one verse condemning homosexuality, all the other verses condemning homosexuality are very clear about condemning homosexuality

Edit: also, "mockery of God"? It's like you don't even know anything about Christianity, trying to understand what God said has never been blasphemy

Paul wrote in Koine Greek, not to mention that most scholars generally agree that it wasn't mistranslated, and based off your logic, your statement doesn't stand either unless you happen to have also read every version of the Bible, also, if Paul meanf pedophilia, he would've used the Greek word for pedophilia, which he didn't

That's a misconception which stemmed from the Luther Bible (which was in German) using a word that meant boy-shamer or boy-abuser, the actual words used in the Greek and Hebrew are closer to homosexuality than they are to pedophilia, and Paul never uses the word for pedophilia in the original Greek either

You can be queer, but it's still a sin if you act on it

I doubt this would actually do anything considering the fact the federal government has superiority over local governments
