God is the master of life. God can give life and take away life. All lifes are God's to begin with.
Remember from the beginning, the result of sin is death. God did not changed the sentiments towards homosexual or any other sin. Christ make a perfect expiation to God, that outweigh any human sins.
Yes, if we were Jews, and lived in that time.
The act of homosexual are just one sin of many. You don't sin from just being homosexual, you can be homosexual and choose to abstain. But the act of homosexual are sin. The same with all other form of sexual perversion.
But thanks to Christ expiation, that sin can be forgiven, all you have to do is repent and ask for forgiveness, as many times as necessary for your salvation. Simply, we are under a different covenant compare to the Jews of that time.
To us, moral seems relative. But to God moral is absolute.
I am sure you can google, and find the explanation.
God is perfect. Like I said before God is justice, no evil deed go unpunished, the same way goes no good deed go unrewared. The forgiveness of sin, is the eternal covenant. Its binding till the end of time.
That corruption comes from the sin of man.
Not any reference to him. Anyway, on earth, only human have to worry about their sins, since other creatures doesn't have immortal soul like human does.If he wants to appear moral he must obey his own set value system. human life as it exist has value. There is no valid reason to take it without reason. God with his infinite knowledge ought to be able to come up with a better way to deal with humans then flooding the earth and murdering them all.
Sin only refers to offenses to God. If God were a tad bit more mature he might not be affected by say his children eating something from a Garden. I shouldn't have to point out how absurd it is to punish all of life with death because two humans decided to eat from the treee of the knowledge of Good and Evil.
How on earth could have adam and eve known the ramifications of what they were doing? They didn't acquire the knowledge of good and evil until the ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
You consider yourself a moral human being? You are nothing more than a slave to dogma.
Just one of many sins? Apparently one deserving of death. Ejaculating outside of your wife is another one of this sins (poor Onin).
This is simpl ludicrous. Why would Jesus, the illigitimate christ, have to die for God to forgive? Why must something be lost for God to give? God created sin in the first place.
according to the bible. However God clearly bends rules off.
I indeed have. All are bogus as they come from a poor understanding of Jewish tradition. They are mainly excuse for the ingorant by the ignorant.
God clearly isn't perfect. He lacks sympathy in many cases, he needs to be loved, he is jealous, and self-centered.
Oh please. Not all men sinned. This is just more the generational sin crap used to manipulate people in the religion.
God destroys evil. An offence by a finite being (creatures) against God, an infinite being, deserved punishment for eternity.
Christ took the burden of sin on himself. If you like, Christ has many tickets to eternal life to give away for free. You'll lose this tickets if you sin, but you can keep asking for it, and hopefully at the hour of your death, you have one.
I see. Than you should first pointed out how bogus, a virgin birth sound. Instead of focusing on these differences.
Considering God created human for himself, why are you suprised ?
Even if you believe not all men sin, none inherit the free gifts that was lost by Adam and Eve disobidience.

I find it hard to believe one could view those people as purely evil. God has allowed so many "purely" evil people to exist. WHy does he bother destroying so few? His actions seem calculated.
God is clearly the creator of evil as well.
Is that so? Why should any one have to bare this sinful burden? Why exactly? Because God didn't create Adam and Eve with the knowledge of good and evil? WHy does he punish us all for their mistakes? It is a nature to "sin." We are imperfect. Such is how we are. We were created that way. We have no choice in the matter.
It indeed is bogus. It is impossible for a woman to provide lineage.
He is arrogant enough and self centered enough to demand that all life worship him. He has the emmotional maturity of a two year old and likewise the patience. He has devised a plan for human life they can not fulfill. Thusly created a seemingly endless regression of misery and sorry do to our own incapacity of perfection. Why would any sane individual ask something of some one knowing good and well they could never accomplish it and then punish them for failing?
what a pitty.
