Light hearted look at the old testament.

And just to keep up with you, can you tell me the chapter and verse where Jesus condemns homosexuality? I can't seem to find it.

Peace4me you have brought joy to my day. TYVM.

Bravo, HvyFuel, excellent debate skills. Although I'm kinda glad I'm not in the middle of this one...even though I may not agree, I'd prefer not to argue.

What I will say is this: we (mankind in general) can never even hope to know the heart and mind of God; what He wants us to do, what He wants us to say, how He wants us to act...we can't assume that an author, hundreds of years ago, on the other side of the world, in a different language no less, was really able to convey what God may or may not have told him.

Even if the actual message was properly given to the likes of Man, we most likely do not know all of it; most of the Bible as we know it today is taken from disintegrating fragments of parchment found in caves, and translated by the Church into a proper text, fit for release to the public.

Even the most devout of Catholics would have to be figuratively blind to think that the Roman Catholic Church has remained untouched by the corruption of the Devil in this day and age.

I believe God and the Devil are in everyone, and nowhere else. Why do we need fictional deities when we have Cannabis. But you're quite right about the bible, or at least the bits the pope agrees with this week. Most of it was translated from ancient hebrew and arabic into greek then into latin then into english so what the original parchments actually said is anyone's guess.

peace :)
