Lauren Ashley, Miss Beverly Hills 2010, is in the news, reported as a beauty queen saying: "God wants gays dead" and "gays should be murdered" - but is that actually what she said, or is she misunderstood?
According to Fox News, Lauren Ashley said: "The Bible says that marriage is between a man and a woman. In Leviticus it says, 'If man lies with mankind as he would lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death and their blood shall be upon them.' The Bible is pretty black and white ...
"I feel like God himself created mankind and he loves everyone, and he has the best for everyone. If he says that having sex with someone of your same gender is going to bring death upon you, that's a pretty stern warning, and he knows more than we do about life."
The Old Testament scripture she is referring to was for the Israelites (Jews) who were supposed to be set apart as a holy people for the Lord. They were to become as sin-free as possible, and homosexuality was undoubtedly a sin in the eyes of God ...

God Bless this young lady, she’ll need it.
Romans:
"21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."
It goes on for those who dare read it.
We think on human time scales - God thinks on eternal time scales. Sometimes the two appear to be contradictory to us.
Which chapter in Romans?
Oops, should be “Romans 1”.
Has she made a porno movie too?
1st chapter, it starts around vs 18.
Don’t get wrapped up with her just because she quotes scripture. She is a fraud
From LATimes:
Lauren Ashley, a Miss California USA contestant and outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage, claims Beverly Hills as the city she represents. Beverly Hills lays no claim to her whatsoever.
Quite the opposite. In a statement Wednesday, the city said it was shocked by Ashley’s description of herself as “Miss Beverly Hills.” The city “does not sponsor a beauty pageant and has no association with Miss California USA,” the statement said. “As such, there should be no individual claiming the title of Miss Beverly Hills.”
The city’s statement said Ashley lives in Pasadena and “does not represent Beverly Hills in any capacity.”
Ashley, 23, has been quoted extensively as saying same-sex marriage goes against God. She recently told news organizations that “in Leviticus it says, ‘If man lies with mankind as he would lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death and their blood shall be upon them.’ The Bible is pretty black and white.”
“We are dismayed by any potential association with the city of Beverly Hills, which has a long history of tolerance and respect,” Mayor Nancy Krasne said.
Ashley’s comments were made just months after former Miss California Carrie Prejean settled her legal duel with state beauty pageant organizers related to her high-profile stand against gay marriage.
Beverly Hills said it had contacted pageant officials to determine how to prevent any future beauty contestants from claiming the title of Miss Beverly Hills. The pageant is put on by K2 Productions in Los Angeles.

Amen sister! Take a stand for the Lord!
“For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:12
“Which chapter in Romans?”
Rom 1:27
If he says that having sex with someone of your same gender is going to bring death upon you, that's a pretty stern warning...and aids be upon them.
Do we have to hear about every minor beauty queen with an opinion on this issue now? Why do we care? There’s no reason anybody should have ever cared about Carrie Prejean’s opinion, pro or con. These girls’ job is to LOOK PRETTY; why in the world does any of this matter?

LOL. Close, perhaps, but we’d need to see the rest.
