If gay people can't go to heaven, neither can any of you who've had premarital sex, who've had a divorce, anyone who's eaten pork or any other hoofed animal.

Women who haven't had any children will also go to hell. If you have tattoos or piercings god hates you "for defiling what he gave to you." You can't plant mixed seeds in a field or wear mixed wool. SIN SIN SIN

Oh, and jerking off... "It is better to spill your seed in the belly of a whore than on the ground" or something like that.

Eating fat is prohibited forever.

You cannot round the corners of your beard or the hair on your temples.

Also you can be punished for your parents sins. If you're a bastard, you're f***ed.

If you are disabled in any way your presence will profane his sanctuary.

Ever worked on a Sunday? Anyone working on the Sabbath is to be killed. (Ex 35:2) So long NFL. (also, the player should be killed for touching the ball (a dead pig))

I hope none of you have ever touched anything a menstruating woman has touched because it's unclean. (careful on public transportation and at your jobs!!) You're not necessarily damned if you do this, a priest can kill two pigeons to cure the uncleanliness. No sex during the period. The couple should be cut off from their people.

A person that "was" gay can go to heaven, a person that "didn't" keep the sabath holy can go to heaven, ect ect.

Not one action "condemns" anyone if they seek forgiveness and repent of this sin(s).

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
--------------------------

We all have come short in the glory of God, WE ALL weather we're heterosexual or homosexual. ALL sins are equal and forgiveable. The only sin that isn't forgiveable is denying the Lord thy God. Besides that God sees we do fall short in the glory of God and offers leeway.

And no we are not held responsible for our parents sin any longer because of Jesus. If you seek forgiveness of your transgressions, then it is forgiven if you truely seek the forgiveness.

This is from old testament and is why it says they are to be killed, people were judged on earth for their sins. There was no judge, no Jesus in the form we know of him.

But nevertheless we are to keep the Sabath holy still. And we will be judged by our Lord Jesus when we pass away on this earth for the actions we take in our lives, working on the sabath, denying the Lord thy God, and so on. We will be judged for ALL our actions we took though our lives.

My issue with all of this is basically that EVERYONE does sin. EVERYDAY. Many don't feel guilty for any of them, yet they're so quick to judge others (mainly gays).

These days Christians follow the bible to the point that it's convenient for them. The second that a scripture doesn't fit their lifestyle, they're quick to dismiss.

I'm not a religious person. Not because I want to round my hair around my temples, but because I'm sickened by the double standards that all other religious people place.

No arguement on most of that man. Bible specifically tells us not to judge others. Matthew 7:1 - Judge not, that ye be not judged.

We shouldn't judge anyone, we should treat EVERYONE the same, weather they are homosexual, stealer, murderer, liar, or any other. WE ALL sins and fall short in the glory of God, no need to point fingers cause there are 3 fingers pointing right back at you.

And with the last part of your post, this is very true all the time. These days you can go and have a great time getting horribly drunk with your preacher, and the next day on Sunday/sabbath the preacher will be up there preaching to repent from sinful actions or you'll go to hell and so on and son on.

BUT!!! does not make it any more right, they will have to face this in judgement when their time has come.

Thought i'd also include the next verse to this.

Matthew 7:2
For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again

Too many Christians have the notion that they can do whatever they want whenever they want as long as they go to church and ask for forgiveness on Sunday. That's not how it works.

No it's not. To gain forgiveness you have to true heartedly mean it and repent from what it is that you're doing sinful.

Not to point fingers or give any denomination a bad name. But what you said reminds me of how baptists view the bible. They can do pretty much anything they want as long as they believe in Jesus/God and accept Jesus as lord and savior. But if your lord tells you not to do it, then lol don't do it.

Maybe it's just time for a New NEW Testament.

It's coming, take my word on it alot of people won't like it.

that about sums it up.

Still how could this be true if a large majority of the population doesn't even believe in this stuff?

you have a pretty picture going on there ruth.. nice to see you again!

Are you seriously asking me how something that the majority does not believe can still be true?

The earth is flat. The sun revolves around the earth. Just to name a couple.

No that's not what i'm asking. I'm asking how would making up this stuff to control people do any good cause the majority of people don't believe in it anyways. Would not be very effective or sufficiant for what they are supposedly trying to do with it.

People are starting to wake up and realize the truth now. But, it's worked for thousands of years. And, I think the majority of people do believe it to some degree or another.

Thank you!

Not really, the bible prophesied of such long before this happened.
