If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Good on them. These guys are in fact following the bible teachings correctly. The rest of you christians that turn a blind eye to homosexuality, adultery, or whatever are in fact HYPOCRITES.The bible clearly states:So, these guys are actually promoting the christian religion CORRECTLY. The rest of the christians are just half-bred mongrel hypocrites that take all the good things from the bible but ignore all the things that are incompatible with society.If you are homosexual - god hates you and wants you to be killed and burn in hell for eternity.Great religion huh?So, if you know any homosexuals, and want to be a good christian - go and kill them. :thumb:

Actually: Just picking and choosing what you want out of a religious book is the definition of Religion.Then....THEN after you've ripped out what you want and ignored and destroyed parts you dont want to believe and re-written things you dont agree with tell everyone else that your belief is the one and ONLY belief!
The best thing about Finance Minister Bill English\'s latest Budget is that it does finally signal a much greater role for the private sector in the New Zealand economy. And another step along the way to extract this country from the political cul-de-sac in which Helen Clark\'s Labour Government parked us.
Not so fast. Leviticus is a book in the old Testament - the New Testament deals with the teachings of Christ, which is where the "Christian" faith comes from. As i recall it, Jesus preached forgiveness, therefore it's anything but hypocritical and "lies" to forgive them.So, i think homosexuals are safe from the Christians for the moment. BTW - i'm not Christian myself (as anyone who knows me would attest), but i do think that if you're going to apply scientific reasoning to an argument, the least you can do is be accurate. :rnr:
II. Christ’s use of ScriptureAs Louis Gaussen has asserted, ‘We are not afraid to say it: when we hear the Son of God quote the Scriptures, every thing is said, in our view, on their divine inspiration—we need no further testimony. All the declarations of the Bible are, no doubt, equally divine; but this example of the Savior of the world has settled the question for us at once. This proof requires neither long nor learned researches; it is grasped by the hand of a child as powerfully as by that of a doctor. Should any doubt, then, assail your soul let it behold Him in the presence of the Scriptures!
From hereTo ignore a part of the bible is to ignore Christ's teachings. Ergo, you have picked and chosen what you want to believe
Haha yeah there was afew of those when I was looking at flats."We are 7 nineteen year old girls looking for a male flatmate. Beachfront house with Sky Sport, High speed internet and pool table"Holy shit!"Must be christian"
By the way, hope you guys are enjoying all the additional chocolate you get to eat on this pagan holiday.
I don't believe it at all. But according to the scriptures, Christ rose up against the authorities of the day (the Jews) and denounced a lot of what they preached in the name of God (including the Old Testament presumably). Therefore, if you're going to slag Christians you should do so on the basis of what is written in the New Testament, because that is what details Christ's teachings and what the Christian faith is built on.If you want to slag out the Old Testament, then it's the Jews you need to have a wee chat with.
Corrected for factual correctness.

Ergo, you have picked and chosen what you want to believeOn another note: I cant find why Christians dont have a restricted diet! I thought I knew the answer(That one of the Council's vindicated it), but I can find no record of it anywhere on the interweb.Im going to have to ask my girl friends mum, who is the Presbyterian ministers aide in Invercargill tomorrow. Im sure it has something to do with Jesus's actions as an individual(eating with sinners and the like), but Im not sure.
He believed the Old Testament was historical fact. This is very clear, even though from the Creation (cf. Genesis 2:24 and Matthew 19:4, 5) onward, much of what He believed has long been under fire by critics, as being mere fiction. Some examples of historical facts:Luke 11:51—Abel was a real individualMatthew 24:37–39—Noah and the flood (Luke 17:26, 27)John 8:56–58—AbrahamMatthew 10:15; 11:23, 24 (Luke 10:12)—Sodom and GomorrahLuke 17:28–32—Lot (and wife!)Matthew 8:11—Isaac and Jacob (Luke 13:28)John 6:31, 49, 58—MannaJohn 3:14—SerpentMatthew 12:39–41—Jonah (vs. 42—Sheba)Matthew 24:15—Daniel and IsaiahHe believed the books were written by the men whose names they bear:Moses wrote the Pentateuch (Torah): Matthew 19:7, 8; Mark 7:10, 12:26 (‘Book of Moses’—the Torah); Luke 5:14; 16:29,31; 24:27, 44 (‘Christ’s Canon’); John 1:17; 5:45, 46; 7:19; (‘The Law [Torah] was given by Moses; Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ.’)5Isaiah wrote ‘both’ Isaiah’s: Mark 7:6–13; John 12:37–41 [Ed. note: Liberals claim that Isaiah 40-66 was composed after the fall of Jerusalem by another writer they call ‘Deutero-Isaiah’. The only real ‘reason’ for their claim is that a straightforward dating would mean that predictive prophecy was possible, and liberals have decreed a priori that knowledge of the future is impossible (like miracles in general). Thus these portions must have been written after the events. However, there is nothing in the text itself to hint of a different author. See The Unity of Isaiah. In fact, even the Dead Sea Isaiah Scroll was a seamless unity. But as Dr Livingston said, since Jesus affirmed the unity of Isaiah, the deutero-Isaiah theory is just not an option for anyone calling himself a follower of Christ.]Jonah wrote Jonah: Matthew 12:39–41Daniel wrote Daniel: Matthew 24:15He believed the Old Testament was spoken by God Himself, or written by the Holy Spirit’s inspiration, even though the pen was held by men: Matthew 19:4, 5; 22:31, 32, 43; Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37.He believed Scripture was more powerful than His miracles: Luke 16:29, 31.He actually quoted it in overthrowing Satan! The O.T. Scriptures were the arbiter in every dispute: Matthew 4; Luke 16:29, 31.He quoted Scripture as the basis for his own teaching. His ethics were the same as what we find already written in Scripture: Matthew 7:12; 19:18, 19; 22:40; Mark 7:9, 13; 10:19; 12:24, 29–31; Luke 18:20.He warned against replacing it with something else, or adding or subtracting from it. The Jewish leaders in His day had added to it with their Oral Traditions: Matthew 5:17; 15:1–9; 22:29; (cf. 5:43, 44); Mark. 7:1–12. (Destroying faith in the Bible as God’s Word will open the door today to a ‘new’ Tradition.)He will judge all men in the last day, as Messiah and King, on the basis of His infallible Word committed to writing by fallible men, guided by the infallible Holy Spirit: Matthew 25:31; John 5:22, 27; 12:48; Romans 2:16.He made provision for the New Testament (B’rit Hadashah) by sending the Holy Spirit (the Ruach HaKodesh). We must note that He Himself never wrote one word of Scripture although He is the Word of God Himself (the living Torah in flesh and blood, see John, chapter 1). He committed the task of all writing of the Word of God to fallible men—guided by the infallible Holy Spirit. The apostles’ words had the same authority as Christ’s: Matthew 10:14, 15; Luke 10:16; John 13:20; 14:22; 15:26, 27; 16:12–14.He not only was not jealous of the attention men paid to the Bible (denounced as ‘bibliolatry’ by some), He reviled them for their ignorance of it: Matthew 22:29; Mark 12:24.
Praise the Lord.
