What does this say to you? Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them"

It says to me, that who wrote it was ignorant . People can be born with the wrong hormones, and it is not their fault . I have friends who are gay, I am a straight woman and I love them very much .People who don't understand, need to question themselves , After Jesus was crucified, he was asked by his diciple Philip, "Lord, when will you return?  And Jesus replied "" When men are as women and when women as are men"  That book was removed from the Bible by the Catholic Church in Rome .  You can find that book in any library . Don't know if you can find it on line.

Well, it says quite clearly that those in homosexual relationships should be put to death.    Perhaps you could help me with something Sharie, I was thinking of selling my daughter to slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7, I was wondering what a fair price for her might be.  Also, my boss insisted upon working on the sabbath, am I obligated to kill him myself as per Exodus 35:2 or may I leave that to the police?  Does the whole town really need to be together to stone him?
When I look at Leviticus, or any of the Old Testament laws I see an outmoded and dated way of thinking which thankfully began to die out in Western society during the so called age of enlightenment.  The words of the psychopath of the desert many Christians call God are indeed dated and barbaric in every sense of the word.  Would you, Sharie, be honestly willing to kill so frivolously?  That is what the verse calls for, death.  Unless you are willing to kill people simply because they are homosexual then you shouldn't be quoting this verse.

However Sharie, you are also using the verse as an excuse to condemn homosexual relationships, or at least that is what other comments indicate. The verse itself is an all or nothing proposition, if either of the two statements made in it are brought to doubt the other is as well.

This is because the verse (along with the rest of the Bible) is "God Breathed" and is as such, perfect. If you shouldn't kill homosexuals as the verse commands then the associated statement, that homosexuality is an abomination, is also brought to doubt as the infallibility of verse is brought to question.

This does not talk about 2 women... It says "if a man lies with a man like he would a woman"...It is talking about sex between two men,  it has nothing to do with lesbianism, whatever...

This is part of the problem... Too many interpretations... I see it one way, you another, someone else has their thought on the matter.. A Baptist might see this differently than an Episcopalian...or a Catholic, or a Mormon, or a Lutheran...

Well... You got to understand women back in that culture. 2000 years ago, if you were a woman, and you cheated on your husband, you were stoned. If you had an affair before marriage, you were stoned. And since a could not get married to a woman (they would be stoned as well, men had more leniancy, they were just looked down upon) their was no need to bring up the topic of a woman and a woman. So as this verse states a man and a man, in todays culture, i do believe that it would include women

There you go, different interpretations on the same thing... Religion should be outlawed.

Pretty much that a man should not have a sexual relationship with another male and vise versa
That a relationship should only be male with a female

Which to me by the way seems idiotic, gays don't chose to be gay

Really Sharie? Did you choose to be straight? Could you, if you chose, be attracted to a member of the same sex?

Sounds like psycho babel to me I mean it makes no sense and like I said I think being gay is a choice and people should stay out of other peoples business live and let live and leave gays alone but I think the should be able to chose to be  gay and thats its great if you make that choice

It means a woman is not suppose to be with another woman, just as a man isn't suppose to be with a man. It's talking about how being gay is wrong.

Nice try, it's actually talking about how gays should be indiscriminately killed.

Don't have gay or lesbian relationships. God does not like it and you will be in trouble.
