Serious question: is the morality of homosexuality actually brought into question in the old/new testaments, or is this one of those things where people have chosen to interpret some shit creatively? Seen quite a few of those creative takes, like the people claiming the "hot or cold" or "camel through the eye of the needle" bits are actually some obscure references to local conditions rather than actual moral lessons.
Bible is pretty clear.
1 Corinthians 6:9
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,
Romans 1:26-27
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
As for the "hot and cold", that type of thing is up for interpretation, although I hold that hot water is good and so is cold water. I believe that's what Jesus was referring to.
The "Camel through an eye of a needle" with the "eye of the needle" being a gate is a total myth made up by the rich to try and justify their greed. Jesus meant what we read it as today. For extra clarification, the original greek even refers to the word "needle" with different words, one is surgical, I believe the other one is fishing related. So it couldn't be a place. Jesus meant what He said - it is easier for a camel to go through an eye of a needle than a rich person to get into heaven.

I get it, you are morally superior to us all.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yes, yes. You're a South Park loving nihilist who believes in nothing and thinks everyone else must share your complete lack of morals and empathy. Both sides are same, and you have a lot of problematic opinions about trans people. Your kind is easy to spot a mile away.

The person with Taalnazi as their username?
You must think the Nazis were socialists.

I wish there was a board where people would have the ideology of the left but without bring so triggered by anything.
Just no concept of humor as a coping mechanism.
I've had the fortune to post on niche micro-imageboards like that, irreverent but not hateful.
They just have to stay small otherwise the classic issue of "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company" arises and now you can't post pictures of black people without a chance of triggering the trolls.

Lemmy is more liberal than left, that's my problem with it. You will get hate for saying very reasonable opinions just because it goes against certain narratives. Better yet, just spit straight facts and you will still get hate, like this: economic class matters more than race for nearly all aspects of life, and a considerable number of primarily-racial factors would also be solved by eliminating poverty and reducing overall inequality.
Now watch the comments roll in.
dumb comment tilting at windmills, the amount of people posting opinions like the ones you're thinking about are dwarfed by everyone else

wow what a hateful book

No just a joke from the fact that found the fascist in a comment thread with a person with a name saying they are a grammar Nazi.
Also I don't think your response makes sense. Like it doesn't feel like a response to what I said but just a canned one cause I don't get how it fits.

Well I think any "Christian" that thinks that God judges people for being gay is a Devil worshipper. Hate is the domain of Satan, not a benevolent God. There is a word for a being that would make people a certain immutable way and then judge them harshly for it. That word is Evil. You fundamentally believe in an evil, demonic god.
You're not a Christian. You're a Devil worshipper. And you will burn in Hell for your sins.
How do you define evil in that case? Lol.
-
Perhaps not yours personally, but Christians' in general sure do, because they're always trying to shove their religious beliefs into governmental policy. People are dying right now because of the obviously Christian abortion ban in the US.
I disagree with a state enforcing religion

As a Christian, gtfo with homophobia. All people are made in Gods image and so to condemn the gay and transgender people is to condemn the Lord. Take one of the greatest commandments seriously: love thy neighbour.
One of the greatest commandments. But it's not the greatest. The greatest is to love the LORD your God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength. That means loving Him more than any human and not engaging in relationships that dishonour Him.
Everyone has sinned and yet is made in God's image. No human is not made in God's image. Does that mean that we shouldn't have a definition of right and wrong? By no means!
I never said to hate your neighbour.

You can be conservative, you just cannot be an ass. Unfortunately, it is rather difficult for conservatives to not be proper conservatives and instead they often turn to fascism like Trump and Musk proclaim.
Being a conservative is about prioritising the status quo. It is not about returning to the middle ages with a police state of witchhunting and mass murder, which is what fascists and reactionaries want.
Above all, this is NOT the place for serious conservative support/viewpoints/arguments. There are other places on Lemmy for that if you desire it.

It's pretty obvious. If someone thinks having "Nazi" in their UN means they're a Nazi, then that person must take surface-level names so literally that they think the historical Nazis were socialist.
-

Seeing people as a means to an end rather than an ends unto themselves. A basic lack of human empathy and respect for human dignity. Jesus was a brown socialist who hung out with queers, prostitutes, and social outcasts. That fact should inform any form of Christian ethics.

Surely thats your own lemmy instance ? other instances can federate or defederate as they want (or piefed)

Reddit is populated by Bill Maher flavored liberals, 4chan is populated by Asmondgold flavored cockroaches, Tildes is populated by approximately seven users (but they're all pretty cool), and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else

Well, that's me fucked, where too now ?

I hope you realize they were literally national socialists (Nationalsozialisten).

Exactly. The bible is clear, and it is clearly unjust.
Therefore those who follow what it says are spreading injustice through the world and must be stopped.

He kept telling them not to sin
