Quote"'If a man also lie with mankind as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death: their blood shall be upon them.
Leviticus 20:13
Not only does it say homosexuality is wrong, it also justifies someone's death behind it.
This is from the King James Version of the "sacred text", the most popular in America.
Again lost in translation the king james version is not the original version
but this speaks to the purity and rituals mentioned in lev 18:2-3 18:24 and 20:23 that basically states that the isralites should not conduct themselves in the same manner that the cannonite and Egyptians did because they are pure
and them doing what they do given their pure nature would set them back
but again this was referfing to pedophilia and rape (you do realize lot had to protect the angels from sodomites because the sodomites wanted to rape the angels and lot understood how pure they were and moved to protect them)
and they used this when emperor Constantine enforced same sex laws
but he isnt god
and ppul only use this the same way that Emporer Constantine did just because he didn't approve of it
but the intent of the sripture was to address pedophilia
which is why ppul that speak out against homosexuality often throw pedophilia in the mix as if it was one in the same
this sounds like lord of the rings
and it's all nonsensical
I wish ppl would just take the Bible for what it is, and stop trying to break it down. There are clues left in there to aide smart ppl. Mainly God is not the author of confusion. Lol one of the writers is literally telling the reader. Look, use your brain, an all powerful creator would not create a book full of contradictions, love each other. That simple.
Christians don't even understand "Satan" or the adversary, is cackling DOWNE over watching ppl interpret this same book for centuries.
Don't kill! But kill these ppl!
Don't hate! But hate this!
To believe all of it as it's written is to believe an all powerful, all knowing, all intelligent being got bored, and created ... creation! Lol and set up this big never ending checkerboard war with evil
Oh and along the way he's going to watch his creations suffer and die.
Yet he's against murder, against sex, against lying, against stealing. All of which don't matter to him because he's all knowing and eternal.
Sure an all knowing being would take the time to do that. If they loved seeing suffering. So who's in control here ....
Thanos? Darkseid? 
Lol common sense should've told us something unseen does rule the Earth .. and it's not heavenly 😂
Well Bentley You are asking the right questions.
God cannot be solely contained in any earthly medium.... a book an idea a creation a prophesy an action a calling a human an animal a religion..nothing
as you see we have several other planets that serve a purpose as well who knows whats going on on those

Yet we as humans try to box and package god into versions that fit our limiting experience as humans.
The bible is no different ppul received prophesy from god and decided to document their prophecy
anyone can do this
but much like how we say
beyonce could never be an mj even tho she done alot of things he hasn't and broken some barriers he didn't and created new standard he didn't
we say that the some of the earlier recipients of gods prophecies hold more weight than the ones that came after
just like joseph smith and the latter day saints we accuse them of trying to erase the bible
so it really needs to be placed in the right context
god is complete he is good and he is evil combined
and the duality of that is very much experienced in earthly form
and we assume only light should exist but its the darkness that defines the light and vice versa
