There is only seven commandments in the bible. Being gay has nothing to do with any of them.

Jesus said: "Love thy neighbour"

What if that neighbour happened to be a guy?

Have you actually read the four gospels? Or did you just not find anything in google which supports your agenda?

I'm not a bible studies teacher so go read the bible yourself.
You are the one trying to ignore the inconsistencies of the Bible and making claims that you aren't able to support, not I.

It's pretty sad that you seem to be so unread of a text which is the foundation of your own religious beliefs.

I'll repeat my question. Do agree with the Old Testament passage that states that a unmarried woman who is raped should be forced to marry her rapist? Yes or no?

This.

Back yourself up. How did christ refute all these rules that you should be following but choose not to?


FFS please just go read one of the gospels and you'll get your answer.

You obviously don't have the answer. Have you even read them? You are meant to be believing in this religion and you don't seem to know much about it.

Can you not comprehend?

We don't take what is convinient. We adhere to what Christ has instructed us and we don't deviate from the OT in regards to what Christ hasn't instructed.

It's really quite simple. And no, we won't write something called NNT.
Awww now you don't mean that. You just wanna cling on to the last thing that is christian dont cha? I mean, after homosexual marriage is allowed, what else have you got to complain about? You've already lost the marriage for life thing with the family law act. Slavery's abolished...

Of course not. Here's your answer.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it

Now I'm going out on a limb here and presuming that you have a flicker of intelligence. Any man who loves his wife as Christ loves the church will not rape a woman who will then proceed to be his wife.

The clear requiste for marriage is love, thus disallowing what is spoken of in the OT.
what if a man had no wife and raped an unmarried woman?

You still can't actually tell us whether christ refuted these laws which you choose not to follow. You just say "its all in there", which means you don't actually know anything in the text which permits you to ignore these rules which have been stated.

Marriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For most of European history, marriage was more or less a business agreement between two families who arranged the marriages of their children. Romantic love, and even simple affection, were not considered essential.[25] Historically, the perceived necessity of marriage has been stressed.[26]

Bible says earth is flat

Matthew 4:8
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

Have you seen the bible? It's a massive document. I'm not going to give you a précis of something so large. You have eyes and presumably you can read, so do it yourself.
So you're saying because the Bible is such a "massive document" that you could potentially be sinning in many different ways, without even being aware of it since you are only focusing on several sins (aka cherry-picking)?

The bible is just a text which has been edited and edited over the years, by the Romans, and especially Constantine.

The Church of England was made so that the King of England could get a divorce.

The rules were made by random people, so they should be pretty much disregarded.
