Kent, I don’t need to address you verse by verse. Again, you completely miss the point Jesus was trying to get across about Pharisees, those who are sticklers to every letter of the Law, rather than those who understand and accept the Spirit behind the Law. The Laws were written, according to Jesus, for those who ignore the Law of love God places in every man’s heart and Jesus himself said that even He wasn’t here to judge but that if he did judge, his judgment would be true, whereas people judging the worth of a man to God would always fall far (too far) from the One who judges, God.

There is nothing said in the Bible that homosexuality is, as you claim, a sin. The fact that you throw that in with your grasp of morality says a lot about you- your beliefs about what’s right and what’s wrong is a large part of what you’re projecting and you say you don’t understand what projecting mean, which is, as you know, a lie. Clearly you’re not so poorly educated that you don’t understand the meaning of that word- it’s basic common sense.

The ‘a man shall not lie with a man as with a woman was written because every man needed to have as many children as possible because so few lived to adulthood and children were needed to care for their elders when their elders could no longer care for themselves. It was to keep the tribe strong and written by the same early Priests who wrote that women and children were to be slaves to husband or father, whichever fit the situation, and the an adulteress should be stoned to death but an adulterer shouldn’t, that contact with a swine was a sin punishable by death (yet, it’s fine now to play football), And a host of other rules (laws) that I suspect even you don’t follow because they’re inconvenient to you. By picking and choosing what you believe to be moral or immoral you’re doing the same thing Jesus criticized in the Priests of the past and in his day. And, in effect, claiming to be the equal of God because even Jesus didn’t judge others. Or do you follow all of the rules and laws written so early in the history of the stories and tales and myths that you depend upon as a basis for your understanding of ‘morality’, as determined be you?

Nowhere in the Bible is marriage mention as a joining of two people in love- men bought their wives or obtained them for political purposes or took them as spoils of war after conquering an enemy and took the elderly and children to be slaves.

David, as King, committed adultery and I’m sure that falls under your definition of immoral acts, right?

And how do you feel how stoning a woman to death for adultery or stoning someone to death for wearing clothing of mixed fibers- which you’re doing right now- cotton and polyester are not of the same fibers, btw.

You come across as arrogant and full of pride at your ability to “explain the Bible 2 you”- on your profile about yourself, of course, and in your comment that I replied to. And I have no time to explain to you just how wrong you are. Arrogance and pride lead to downfall and destruction. As Paul taught, being born into the Spirit (“born again” is the modern Church’s phraseology) simply means you are like a baby when born in the flesh- ignorant of all things mature and that you need to learn and grow in Spirit rather than believing to already be ‘saved’. Something that I doubt was stressed or even taught in your understanding of being “born again”.

The NT also states that God will send a delusion down upon those who refuse to accept the Spirit (and grow in it rather than remain nothing more than a ‘babe’ in Spirit) to make them think they’re saved that they are saved when they clearly are not.

I hope you will be one of the ‘few’ chosen of the ‘many’ who are called. I hope the same for myself, as well, and I learned decades ago that I’m not and never will be truly wise enough on my own to enter God’s Kingdom. Like everyone on earth, I haven’t done enough good to have earned even a single moment of this life I’ve been given and in the meantime, I don’t and won’t waste my time judging others when I’m not fit to judge anyone other than myself.

So, no, I will not spend time trying to explain to you where you’re wrong; that is between you and God and what you take from the teaching of Jesus and no one else. As I said, I am not wise enough to know your heart, only God knows that.
