Modern Christianity 'The Bible Loves LGBT'


Leviticus 20:13

If a man has sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman, the two of them have committed an abomination. They must be put to death; their blood guilt is on themselves.

Leviticus 18:22

You must not have sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman; it is a detestable act.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, passive homosexual partners, practicing homosexuals, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, the verbally abusive, and swindlers will not inherit the kingdom of God.



This next one ATTACKS THE HOMOSEXUALS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS



Romans 1:26-29, 32

For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones, and likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed in their passions for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done. They are filled with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice. They are rife with envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They are gossips, Although they fully know God?s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.

1 Timothy 1:9-10

realizing that law is not intended for a righteous person, but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, sexually immoral people, practicing homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers ? in fact, for any who live contrary to sound teaching

Wow! I was startled by those Leviticus renderings; never seen that before. A little research reveals that in 2011, a group of conservative theologians issued a new version, making their prejudices more explicit.

Isn't that sort of a treacherous way to wage the culture war?

Isn't your post kind of mis-named? "Modern Christianity 'The Bible Hates LGBT'" would seem more apt, since it's a modern translation being used to express the homophobia of modern conservative Christians.
