[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What 13:20 said, but much more nicely stated. To these churches, there are a few core doctrines that are of prime importance - the Apostles Creed is going to be a solid summary, though if they're part of a denomination with a statement of faith (Westminster Confession, 39 Articles, and similar) that's also a good place to look. One of those core doctrines - probably ranked just below ones about the Trinity in importance - is going to be that the Bible is the authoritative Word of God and is literal for the genre of each book. Since Romans (for example) is a letter, these churches believe that the church has to follow what Romans 1 says. And what 13:20 said about Jesus' teachings being antithetical to that? PP should read the Sermon on the Mount and what it says about divorce. Seriously. Jesus had some pretty strong opinions on marriage. The image you might have of a sweet and mild Jesus doesn't really match what the Gospels show the God-man was really like. I'm curious why you automatically assume these beliefs are "hateful." Do you assume these churches also hate anyone heterosexual living together outside of marriage? Or anyone who divorced without adultery and remarried? Because those are doctrines that I'd say most of these churches consider equally important - but nobody assumes they hate divorcees I don't think.[/quote] Why is there nothing on the website about divorcees? There never is, and that’s the huge problem I have with people using the Bible as a weapon against lgbt people. It’s picking and choosing. Because you are uncomfortable with gay people you use the Bible as the reason. Single parents, divorced people, remarried parents etc, never get the same treatment. [/quote] Or the ones who eat shrimp and all sorts of other laws strictly prohibited in the same book as the one they are using against LGTB people.[/quote]
