He writes, “To anyone free of ancient prejudices, the injustice of condemning Oliveto is plain. How can love be wrong? How can love enfolded in commitment and fidelity be wrong?”

The folks who brought you The Living Constitution now bring you The Living Bible.

The Old Testament moral code was also a health code.

Got Trichanosis?

You probably would if you ate under cooked pork.

ESAD is a double extent for which the lesser known meaning is - if you do, you will.

Bon appetite, Bishop.

>>is it only prejudice that believes God designed men for women and women for men? 

It's only "prejudice" for folks who are too psychotically disconnected from reality to be able to comprehend the self-evident fact that Natural Selection created sex, the genetic exchange between MALE and FEMALE, because it increases the fitness of species...  

Folks who are too morally obtuse to observe that what abominators of nature like Naff and "bishop" Olivetto have selected isn't Sex, but the perversion of Nature and the psychotic worship of themselves and their perversion.

This is actually a very good essay and I read it with (I think) a discerning eye. It was succinct, clear, and covered all the main issues, wile pointing to deeper aspects for those interested in exploring them.

So thanks, Kaslin, for posting this. If I had an e-mail address for author Michael Brown I would thank him as well.

A BIBLICAL Message to LGBT folks EVERYWHERE!



 
Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.


Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

 
 


Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.


Romans 1     New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
 
 18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
 

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite. 


2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

Yes......and then the next article can be about telling people they shouldn’t use Owners’ Manuals when they buy a new car because that is too judgmental.....and then the third article can be about telling people that they are free to ignore the Drivers’ Manuals because those darn Rules of the Road are just too darn restrictive

Clay probably wants them to switch to one of these "bibles" for their moral guidance in the Church:



"The Atheist's Bible"


"The Anti-Bible"



"The Wicca Bible"


"The Satanic Bible"

Naff is no different than any other human being born since Adam and Eve.

He has been condemned already to eternal damnation for all eternity future.

He doesn’t have a human spirit, so he is clueless as to what God has provided.

He isn’t even willing to acknowledge his existence so in his mind, a chair or a spoon has more tangible evidence of existence than the Creator of all that can be created.

All of us began in the same situation. Some of us, though we are very wretched, at least acknowledge Him and recognize we are nothing compared to Him, and we also realize His incredible blessings and grace when He provided us with a very real human spirit, wherein He graciously indwells by His choosing at this moment in time.

If Naff simply understood this, he might come to grasp a toddler’s perspective of why His Word is so important. Until then, he can simply abide by the law for the criminally intentioned and learn to respect His Word simply as a religious instrument.

Why are so many Jews so lost and on the attack in this era?

I knew after reading the headline who it would be same as if it was a liquor store robbery

Naff is acting on the wrong behalf

Someone has to reach these people

It’s always been this way some since the Fabians

But not like now this is even worse than the 60s radical era insofar as pervasiveness

The first Jews here ....mostly Sephardic weren’t this secular and counter traditional America

It’s a real pity and has consequence

It appears Naff uses Bible verses to make his moral argument, then he says stop using the Bible for moral guidance.
