Doesn't everyone find it refreshing when somebody rewrites the Bible?
/s
So, if God didn’t destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, who did?
Aliens?
Breaking News:
“...just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.”
Jude 1:7
“At World Youth Day, Pope’s leading Italian bishop suggests Sodom wasn’t destroyed”
True. It simply relocated to a place along the Via Gregorio VII in Rome.
The Roman Catholic Leadership is only defending Sodomy because they continue to cause this abomination in their priestly ranks by not allowing priestly marriage. They could easily repeal the unnatural regulations against priestly marriage. For crying out loud...Peter, their first Pope, was Married!
I’ll believe the Word of God, referenced to by Christ’s half-brother Jude before a backslid, unbelieving Right Reverend Glockenspiel, or whatever his name is.
And I think this word from Jude begs the question as to what it might have been like around the supper table when Jesus occasionally popped in to visit His Mom and Joseph. I know it says his brothers didn’t believe on Him until after the resurrection. But I’m guessing the convers-ations were verrry interesting, to say the least.
Gen_19:24-25 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Deu_29:23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
Oh, yeah, all those gays allowed in the seminary are actually just frustrated they can’t marry Gina Lollobrigida! How could I not have picked up on that?!
You do Realize the Vow of Celibacy means NO SEX PERIOD. Any Priest breaking that vow is commenting a direct Sin against God and his own words, Not to mention the Abomination of homosexuality, oh which is equivalent to Adultery and other sins of the Flesh. Note even if a man thinks(lusts) in his mind he sins... I know for my part I have sinned and had to go to confession for this how about you?
God Bless
I’ve often had the feeling that many of my Catholic and Episcopalian friends and relatives were not particularly familiar with the Old Testament. This could be another example of that.
You’re probably right. Maybe they even felt like Joseph’s brothers at times.
I meant Joseph from Old Testament.
Excellent point. Thanks. I’d forgotten those guys.
Yep. I got your point instantly. I replied as much. Thanks.
Re : post #7 ~ The Roman Catholic Leadership is only defending Sodomy ~
“because they continue to cause this abomination” BS X2
“in their priestly ranks by not allowing priestly marriage. BS X3
“They could easily repeal” BS X4
“the unnatural regulations” BS X5
I know I’m wasting my time, and so I won’t even get into the subject of Saint Peter; but I suggest you don’t embarrass yourself further by posting your agenda-driven BS and try to post opinions based on facts.
Have a delightful day.
The problem is twofold. Jobs whichninvolve access to children attract predators. When you demand celibacy you take away a good screening process, that of looking at men’s family life. Second many men turn to unnatural things when they are celibate, or away from women. Many men in prison turn gay, classically it also occurred in armies where they were away from women for months or years at a time.
Post #8 ~ Omniscient Tucker39 apparently is NOT omniscient. here was no word in the language for ‘cousins’ hence it was translated as ‘brother’...
I'm familiar with the position that it's all made up stories, but not that it really all happened except for the last bit.
