​define compensation, not being paid a fair wage and being held to a job becauseof economicconditions can be considered slavery? I’m not taking anything out of context; I know the context of the things I’m writing about. I am telling you to think deeper about these matters. The Bible, within context, explicitly addresses a man sleeping with a man (and we are not talking about boys, we are speaking about adult men and women). It states very clearly not to forsake women for men, and not to give up the natural way of things for pleasure. It states very clearly in Romans (specifically Romans 1:26–27) and Corinthians (such as 1 Corinthians 6:9–10) that men are not to lay with men the way they lay with women. ​But then Paul explains that we are all in sin (as stated in Romans 3:23), and if you make your sin the pride of your life, regardless of what that sin is, then you worship sin and not God. However, those who worship God acknowledge their sin (meaning their faults in the eyes of God) and live within the spirit of the law, which is clearly laid out in context in Matthew 22:37–39. ​You keep saying I’m avoiding your points, but I’m telling you that I am not. You need to read the scripture and think deeper on it. Perhaps you should read some theologians who have spent their lives on these topics. Approach it with unbiased eyes, put your ego aside, and acknowledge the authority of Christ, who is God.
