[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18 [b]The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.[/b]

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25[b] They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.[/b]

26 [b]Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.[/b]

What part of this is not clear to some of you?[/quote]

The fact that it's not, you know, Jesus. If you want to interpret Paul as another prophet who mouths God's very own words, if you want to cherry pick Leviticus (put down that shellfish), then that's your game. The rest of us will continue to think you have a homophobic agenda. [/quote]

So out of the entire Bible, the only thing you will take literally or seriously are Jesus' words?  The rest of the *New Testament* is no big deal?  That seems very limited.  If it works for you, it works for you, I guess.[/quote]
