Do not have sexual relations with both a woman and her daughter. Do not have sexual relations with either her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter; they are her close relatives. That is wickedness.

Note that the words from Leviticus never say that the daughter or son is the offspring if the same father. It is not incest to fornicate with your wife’s bastards.

Note that the instructions for fucking your wife’s clone or your own clone have been redacted to protect the contemporary ignorance of the first readers of this message.

We don’t want anyone to lose out on heaven. But God has rules. If you choose to vary from God’s rules then you will be left behind forever.
Matt. 25:46 – Jesus said, “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”
Mark 3:28-29 “Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”
John 6:44 – Jesus said “No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up on the last day.”
John 10:19-30 – “Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings. And many of them said, “He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?” Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch. Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me. But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.”
John 14:6 – Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
1 Tim. 2:3-4 -“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.
2 Pet. 3:9 – “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance”.
So Leviticus has stated what happens when two men or two women have sexual relations like God blessed in MARRIAGE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN!

I don’t pay puddy much mind but this is fun to poke holes in. This is a man who desperately must have other people be wrong, so he can to be right.
So the rule is, you gotta follow my religion, cause everyone else is wrong.
So according to how you define god, only Christians count and everyone else is damned to hell. The followers of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Shinto, Confucianism, Taoism. Islam, or Bahá’í are damned to hell. All the people before before Jesus. Hell. All the people on the other side of the earth while Jesus was around, Hell. All the people of the earth now who never heard of Christianity. Hell. Cause God has rules.
But what Christians count? Does god only save a specific version of Christianity? Do all Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Reformed/ Presbyterian, Methodist, Anglican/ Episcopalian, and Baptists faiths count or are some excluded? What about Mormons? Are they Christian enough or do they go to Hell? Do followers of David Koresh get into heaven? The members of the Spanish Inquisition were Christian, do they get into heaven? Are the priests who tolerated the pedophile priests of the Catholic Church going to heaven?
How about sub groups? Does god only save a specific version of version of that version of Christianity? The most prominent Baptist organizations in the United States are the American Baptist Association, tending to be more liberal, the National Baptist Convention, tending to be more moderate and the Southern Baptist Convention, tending to be more conservative. Does a Southern Baptist think an American Baptist or a Lutheran is Christian enough to avoid Hell.
I know this will fall on deaf ears. I go to the Center for Spiritual Living. They act with more love, peace and justice than many so called Christians do and you specifically, ever show. I really doubt you would rate Heaven, not by your actions here. But God is compassionate and much beyond our ability to understand. You might get in too. Along with all those followers of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Shinto, Confucianism, Taoism. Islam, Christianity and even very confused Atheists that God loves.

Don’t think so, but I’m not an expert on psychoses.
Best I can tell from what you’ve written – though notably, you don’t come right out and say it plainly, as if you’re feeling guilty or sly – you believe your god condemns gay people for who they are, and they will incur your god’s wrath at the end of the world. Do I have that wrong? Don’t think so.
What that means to me is that your a homophobe bigot, and you hide behind your holy book for justification, just like all those slave-holders in Alabama and Mississippi did – and many of their now-Republican descendents still do.
Doc Daneeka spews:
Then which one’s are the rules that are supposed to be followed, and which ones have been suspended, and who the fuck decides? Bigots like you?
After all, according to your book, one of God’s rules is that it is okay to imprison other human beings, torture them, and sell them and their offspring into slavery for our enjoyment.
That rule’s been suspended, right? Who suspended it? Did God publish an addendum? My copy of “His” book seems to be missing the page of errata. If we get to choose which parts of the Bible are to be regarded as His “rules”, and which ones no longer apply to our modern lives, then exactly what is the basis for your particular choices? If we “choose” to regard the dietary prohibitions as optional, give Saul of Tarsus a mulligan on human slavery and torturing women, but hold the admonitions regarding homosexuality as infallible, we should only base that particular choice on divine guidance. Your hysterical visions are no better than anyone else’s.
If the rest of Christianity decides that God has come to them in their sleep and guided them to choose to love their fellow human beings, regardless of their sexual orientation, that choice is perfectly valid and Christian.
That’s not God’s rule.
That’s yours.

However, if your religion is a hateful brew of promised vengeance against all who differ from you, if it’s a pretext for know-nothingism and organized stupidity, if it’s a justification for oppression and bigotry, then, yes, I’m going to call it out for the corrosive nastiness that it is – and the actions of the people who seem to embrace such toxic drivel – like you and puddles.

If you believe in Jesus, He said “I am the way, the truth and the life”. Since we Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God, who else can hold that title? But it also says He has sheep in other flocks. So if someone lives a great godly life and has never heard of Jesus, will he/she be locked out of heaven? Nope you dope. so those in Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Shinto, Confucianism, Taoism. Islam, or Baha’i who lead a godly life without ever hearing the name of Jesus can reach heaven when Jesus the Son of God returns in His clouds of glory.
Every major religion believed homo/lezzie relationships were against the dictates of God until the last decade (2000-2009). Just about every Christian denomination welcome homo and lezzie people, but teaches that homosexual sex is sinful. That’s in the BIBLE, the Word of God.
John 1: 1-3 – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Piddles/Strohs, what makes you think that “hate” is a magic word?
Everybody hates. Everybody loves. Two sides. Same coin. Some people hate me. I hate some people. Some people hate you. You hate some people. Nothing magical.
But disagreement, objection, and argument are not hate. They are rational processes associated with thoughtful debate. Even if that debate centers upon religion, race, sexual orientation or other deeply personal attributes.
The fact that you express objections to homosexuality and that you offer arguments in support of those objections do not by themselves imply that you “hate” homosexuals. But the content of your arguments really does.
I don’t like it when folks post comments that unfairly label Christianity or falsely condemn religion. But I do challenge all Christians to examine the history of their faith in full. To fully comprehend its place in human history. And to accept with an open heart and own the implications of that history for a human institution like Christianity. I know Christianity can have a profoundly positive influence in your life and the lives of many people. But it does not automatically follow that Christianity and Christians are always positive. They are always human. Therefor fallible. A fallibility that sometimes manifests itself in terms of evildoing. It isn’t wrong to disagree with, object to, or argue against evildoing. And it isn’t uncommon among humans to “hate” evil. Or disagree about what evil is.

Logically you said if a person varies from God’s rules then they will be left behind forever. Since every religion has different rules, the only one that can count is your specific version, otherwise you are saying YOU are going to to hell.

2. According to Jewish law, a male must be married and create children. One possible reason that Jesus might have broken this law … after saying he came to fulfill it, is that Jesus was gay.
Was Jesus gay? Does your Roman Bible say what sort of life a gay Christian should live?
3. You claim that any “good person” will get into heaven. Can a person who knows of your claims that God fathered a son but does not believe you, can this person get into heaven?
4. Mitt Romney converted his dead, devout atheist father, to Mormonism. nDo you accept the conversion of dead folks to YOUR religion?
6. According to my sources, many Christians are disappointed by heaven. Is it OK by you if they decide become Mormon or Muslim?
David spews:
I never read this particular verse as being about incest. It’s forbidding a man from having sex with a mother and daughter or a grandmother and grandchild where he is related to neither.
No Time for Fascists spews:
Puddy is tired of defending his undefendable position?

@12 – When you make up shit at the rate puddy does, there has to be a screw loose somewhere.
