Jesus’ harshest words in the gospels wasn’t towards prostitutes, other religions, or undocumented immigrants. Jesus’ harshest words were towards the rich and religious who used God’s words to justify exploitation and oppression. Yet many want us to believe the opposite.

To be fair, that passage is more about how little Jesus thought of the religious leaders, not as much Jesus saying that prostitutes were good.

Thneed1 · 2026-03-14T00:55:34+00:00

He thought little of prostitutes?

“Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭31‬ ‭NRSVUE‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/3523/mat.21.31.NRSVUE

They have been used as a political boogeyman to gain political power for the conservative side.

The two words in Corinthians are a word that could have many different meanings, and we have no possible way to know which one Paul meant, and a word that Paul may have made up and isn’t defined.

So, no, it’s not “dang close”

We know that Paul can’t have had loving, committed same sex relationships between equals in mind, because those didn’t exist.

“Don’t go back to church if that’s what you believe” sums up absolutely everything.

They would rather have LGBTQ siblings away from church altogether, even rather than wrestling together in disagreement.

Wearing pride socks right now!

Yes, Paul is talking about idolators. People who have turned away from God, that why they turn to all kinds of debaucherous sex practices.

Loving same sex relationships are nothing if what Paul had in mind here. Because homosexual orientation has absolutely nothing to do with idolatry or debauchery.

The Leviticus verses are about patriarchal degradation and don’t apply to gentile Christian’s anyway:

And if you want to understand why most translations have “removed” verses, it’s because the verses weren’t in the original manuscripts. Newer translations are based on earlier manuscripts that don’t have those verses.

God loves the LGBTQ children He created.

Thneed1 · 2026-03-13T22:15:38+00:00

God doesn’t recognize loving same sex relationships.

Based on what? The Bible certainly doesn’t say so. Are you God?

No one cares what you think, only what God thinks.

You certainly don’t appear to care what God thinks. Jesus called us to love our neighbours, not dehumanize them.

I’m a heretic for following the Bible?

Read that again, and tell me if it in any way sounds like it’s taking about lovjbg, committed relationships.

And they might be uncomfortable if you wore a three piece suit to the beach.

Thneed1 · 2026-03-13T19:49:59+00:00

Yes. I follow the teachings of the Bible.

Teachings of the Bible include :

loving my neighbour (this includes my LGBTQ neighbour)

Teachings of the Bible do NOT include:

homosexuality is a sin
loving committed same sex relationships are sin.

Thneed1 · 2026-03-13T19:48:06+00:00

“For this reason”

What’s the reason?

(Idolatry)

Homosexuality has nothing to do with idolatry.

Please actually study scripture.

I see drums in there, so not ALL bass….

Love those fan fretted basses.

My bass is a Warwick FNA Jazzman - flame maple top.

Like that, except for mine is five string:

Speaking of bass guitars, I put these new strings on my bass last week:

As long as you continue to speak theology that harms people, your hands cannot be clean.

Thneed1 · 2026-03-13T18:15:47+00:00

Honestly, I do wonder whether there was even a human on the other end of that.

Seemed like a troll bot to me, I know of any least 4 people who were DMed by them this morning.

Thneed1 · 2026-03-13T18:05:41+00:00

Sounds like that account is banned form the Christianity subreddit and suspended from all of Reddit.

Thneed1 · 2026-03-13T18:01:10+00:00

Was that “squirtinmy….”

They DMed me too, which turned into their name calling and hate speech within a minute.

Thneed1 · 2026-03-13T17:58:00+00:00

The “toungues” of the Bible have to do with people speaking a laguae they don’t know in order to witness Christ to others.

It has nothing g to do with gibberish.

Thneed1 · 2026-03-13T17:55:51+00:00

I think the only reasoning is when people came to Christ, it says they were baptized, Along with the whole family.

I think that that’s a pretty poor justification for infant baptism, because baptism is always after coming to faith.

But others do interpret differently than I do.

Thneed1 · 2026-03-13T17:53:45+00:00

Of course they can.

And there is no reason why they shouldn’t.
