Apparently there are many conflicting things said in the bible, enough for people to pick and choose what they think God says.
Yes indeed. "That" verse, the one used as a club to beat us with, is likely badly translated anyway.
And what about these - why do we never hear about them?

Exodus 21:7 Sanctions the selling of a daughter into slavery.
Exodus 35:2 States that those who work on the Sabbath should be put to death.
Lev 11:6-8 Touching a dead hare or pig makes that person unclean.
Lev 11:10 Eating shellfish is an abomination (it's unclear if this is a greater or lesser abomination than homosexuality)
Lev 15:19-24 Contact with a menstruating woman is forbidden.
Lev 19:19 Forbids the planting of two different crops in the same field, and the wearing of clothes made from different threads.
Lev 19:27 Forbids men from trimming certain hair on the head.
Lev 20 Forbids those with a sight defect from approaching an altar.
Lev 20:14 Those who sleep with their in-laws must be burned. Both of them.
Lev 24:10-16 Those who blaspheme the name of the lord must be stoned to death.
Lev 25:44 It's Ok to own slaves, provided they're purchased from neighbouring nations.

Source? The Bible. :roll:

If people are going to bang on about the so-called word of God they really ought to be consistent about it and not cherry-pick whatever suits their particular agenda.
Otherwise they'll have to be stoned to death. :wink:



Yeah exactly there are other bible verses that have adapted over time besides one's covering homosexuality so if you believe people living a gay, lesbian, bisexual, etc lifestyle don't have a place in heaven than you need to read the bible more because there are other verses besides one's covering homosexuality that have adapted over time. And plus there are gay friendly churches now including my own that accept gay people!
