the bible is corrupt yes? or no! [Spirituality & Religion]

that a man could love another man or that a woman could love another woman.... BEAUTIFUL
The Bible never said anything about women not lying with women. So technically lesbians aren’t sinning.

@MorbidCynic The Jewish King David who wrote the Psalms disagrees with you..

(Psalms 86:5) "For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee."

Even when david comitted adultry with bethsheba and had her husband killed the LORD was quick to forgive Him when he confessed to the prophet Nathan..

(2 Samuel 12:13) "And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die."
@Adstar

Oh yeah, do you want to wonder a desert for 40 years by testing his patience with your inadequacy?
@Adstar well I can apologize to God every time I have sex with a woman then. It’s all cool.

Men and women are physically adapted to be with the opposite sex if god would have wanted men to be with men then he wouldn't have bothered making women and vice versa. It does not tale rocket science to figure out that LGBT is wrong as the plumbing is not correct. LGBT is just wrong and mental issue and a fad created by the liberals to make the children feel that it is a cool thing which is leading to a lot of problems.

@4meAndyou I am not endorsing violence against gays or persecuting them like you appear to be reading into my response.

I am saying it is a mental disorder and not a physical thing as we are not plumbed right for gay sex and gays cannot procreate. No matter what kind of bullshit excuse you come up with it is wrong and the your brother along with the catholic priests that are pervs should be ex-communicated and not considered catholic (per the catholic doctrine). Liberals have been making this a fad type culture that is messing up young people and it is being taught in schools that it is OK to be LGBT making for a lot of confused children. You are wrong to think it is OK and just want it to be so.

@acpguy Correction...I did not read that into your response. Just reminding you of where that sort of thinking led in the past.
acpguy · C
@4meAndyou There are always bad people no matter what whether they do not like the way you dress, accent, color or religion. It is something everyone has to live with. But physical facts are that Like a rock, an animal or star they are physical facts that cannot be changed we are born with physical parts that were not meant to be changed but there are abnormalities that affect our mental processes and there are those that people are manipulating in schools today, by certain people that want to change us / our kids. Much of today's sexual preferences are fad things due to liberal education, video games, society and liberal groups. We have a lot more so-called LGBTs than in the past and it is not natural.
Corruption is a state of decay, pollution, or incorrectness. In the Bible, corruption is one of the effects of sin that resulted from the fall of man. In the beginning, God created a perfect paradise, free of sickness, pain, and death. It was man who corrupted it, and it is sin that separates us from God, until forgiven, no matter who we are, or what we've done. God doesn't categorize sin. Man does. Sin is sin...and all sin separates us from God. To know what those sins are, we've only to read God's Word. We don't set the standard...God does.

Well thats not corrupt lol infact romanticizing love is. They are two different things. Love and lust, if you love someone you dont need to name the relation. You care for them, give selflessly. When you consider someone one of your own, you love them. You can anyone and everyone, thats a beautiful thing.

The bible speaks of incorruptible things, the corruptible vessels and corrupt stories and people. For a believer the bible is the inerrant word of god, which has definite things to say about how one lives their lives, from that mindset it is seen as timeless and applicable even today, and a vast network exists of all sorts of ways to interpret it all. Hermeneutics. Liberal theology looks past the bible's restrictive viewpoint, and so on.

My opinion doesn't matter, but it goes something like this - if it were to be true and what it purports to be, all the more reason then for it to be [b]other[/b] than how things are, the way we know things now. It is my opinion that the essence of the divine is not isolated to just the bible, which can be used in divisive and harmful ways. That is a current subjective viewpoint in contra towards it.

No. Men could love other men like brothers and women could love other women like sisters, that is beautiful. If they lust after each other in an unnatural way, they are corrupt and act out of character in which God created them.

No. But I do think that most love comes directly from God. I just think that 2000 years ago, when the world was steeped in barbarism, the prevailing wisdom of the day was that the survival of the human race lay with breeders. You would not be here to protest, otherwise.

When this world is as perverse as Sodom and Gomorrah, Jesus said he would come back to judge the living and the dead.

@rhumbline The Sodom and Gomorrah story is in the old testament, in Hebrew, and the towns burned down because of their sinful sexual behaviors and violence. Go and visit the ashes are still there!

God gives strict rules about relationships, and marriage is between a man and a woman, and God burned down Sodom because of sexual perversions. Sexual perversions and all sin leads to disease and death!

I disagree a little . I think the Bible should be read with the mind set of a child. I think a lot of people overthink the Bible. It is a different book to each person ,the believer and the non believers. Why do we think only the way we see something is the only way to see it? Look and learn through the eyes of a child. A very open and accepting mind.@rhumbline

There is more then enough truth to embrace and have Faith in that Jesus was/is the Ressurection.

not sure corrupt is the word you were looking for
bearinthehalfwayhouse · 26-30, M
Spicy........ But yeah, desert book of bedtime stories is quite corrupted. ┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ
Zeusdelight · 61-69, M
@bearinthehalfwayhouse Yes, I suppose it is more difficult to say which version when there are so many. Bullshit is understandable if you treat it as a work of science or history. Not if you treat it as a story of a relationship and growing understanding of a realationship between a God and His/Her creatures.
bearinthehalfwayhouse · 26-30, M
@Zeusdelight I see it as more of a fantastical tale honestly, but I couldn't grasp the idea of believing in something so.... I can't even think of a word for it.... Then again, I am a dirty little weeb whom treats his body pillow like a real woman sometimes so eh, maybe I'm the naive one. ┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ/
Zeusdelight · 61-69, M
@bearinthehalfwayhouse OK, do you believe in Love or emotion? ARe they real?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
What about the Bible do you think is corrupt?
MrsJones · 26-30, F
@hippyjoe1955 nope xD
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@MrsJones
Agape love (deep spiritual love beyond emotion)
Philo love (brotherly love)
Parental love (self explanatory)
Eros love (sexual love)
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@MrsJones So I have a very dear male friend. I could almost say that I agape love him. I certainly can say that I philo love him. I would be dishonest to say I parentally love him. I have never and have no interest in sexually loving him. I have a beautiful wife. I agape love her. I philo love her. I Eros love her. I have children. I agape love them. I parentally love them. As they are now all adults I brotherly love them but never eros love them.

It depends on what bible you're referring to.
Zeusdelight · 61-69, M
@GodSpeed63 And I am simply asking what translation you say to be that one true word of God. What Bible does not have editions?
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Zeusdelight [quote]And I am simply asking what translation you say to be that one true word of God. [/quote]

Don't be a dope, okay?
Zeusdelight · 61-69, M
@GodSpeed63 You say there is one true word of God. I ask you, which one is it. You call me a dope. I am asking you what you mean by your statement. If you can't answer that, why make the statement?

You see things with your spects. What do you understands by "love"?
MrsJones · 26-30, F
@ABCDEF7 i would mirror a LGBT love to a str8 prson love and measure the difference
ABCDEF7 · M
@MrsJones Would you also call a father's love for his son, or a mother's love for her daughter as LGBT?

Love has many dimensions than just sex/lust. What I understands is that you see love as mere lust. You need to remove the glasses of lust to see the true love. Brother, sister, friend, colleague, teacher, father, mother, uncle, aunt, you shouldn't see every relationship with an angle of sex & lust.

MrsJones · 26-30, F
