1 corinthians killing gays

Doing the thing we do best: misinterpreting the Bible and ruining lives with it. We are, once again, ignoring the biblical bias for those who are marginalized, abused, belittled and negatively judged. Ignoring the biblical directive to show all the children of God love and grace… and forgiveness.

The Bible on Homosexual Behavior

Vines agrees that if Leviticus were about sexual complementarity and not patriarchy, it would have condemned female-female sexual relations as well But the reason Leviticus does not condemn lesbianism is because the prohibitions in Leviticus 18 were written for a male audience.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 & 1 Timothy 1:10

The moral law is permanent by its very nature, because good and evil are objective realities which transcend the limitations of any particular time or place. Ceremonial and judicial laws, by contrast, are contingent, depending on the unique needs of a given culture and era.

But we keep doing it. We keep doing it even though each time after we argue, name-call, suppress others and fight for centuries, falsely playing the role of heavenly judge and jury, we slowly realize that we got it wrong. We realize that, in fact, Paul was not promoting slavery.
