That comes from Romans 1. But based on Tertullian's usage of Marcion's copy of Romans, Romans 1:19-2:1 is confirmed to be a late interpolation. Not that the opinion of a human holds much sway in the first place; after all, this is the same man who said "Those who were reputed to be something--what they were makes no difference to me, God does not show favoritism".

Textual criticism is a tool of the devil to bamboozle people who are too stupid to realize their fake education didn't help them. The Bible is spiritually discerned, and an atheist academic is going to be wrong often.

Sex outside a marriage is sin.

Women cannot marry women.

Sex between two women is always a sin.

Even a child can understand this logic, but you're running right past the forest looking for trees

Bibolatry is the tool of the devil to get us all condemned by making us follow the letter and the law rather than the spirit and faith. People lived for millenia with no Bible and were still faithful. You say spiritually discerned, but all the things you're glistening are carnal and literal. Your idea of "spiritually discerned" is "whatever everyone else in my tribe says". Does something spiritually discerned need a dead book to reach you? No, God is not of the dead but of the living. And who told you that book is perfect? Please show me where there is any divine authority for such a big notion, because as of now I can see that it was the Catholic Church who decided what was "canonical", and only the Protestants who invented inerrancy after their break with the church. All the church fathers acknowledged the possibility of corruptions in their Bibles. And Marcion had a shorter version of several books, which are clearly the older form. You're not going to like this, but in early times it was Catholics, Nazarenes, Marcionites, and Gnostics. Almost all of the New Testament falls under the fourth category, with some traces of the second. But your fear of "heresy" was drilled into you by humans to keep you from the truth. You are afraid to overstep the boundaries other Christians have placed on you, for fear of criticism. Just like the false brothers in Galatians who compelled gentiles to be circumcized so other Jews wouldn't persecute them.

Go to Jeremiah 8:8 to see GOD HIMSELF using textual criticism. I have no education. I merely discover proof of the spirit of holiness. Do you have the spirit?

You're off.

Marriage is a spiritual bond by the way.

[–]Vulptex[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

If it is a spiritual bond then male and female become irrelevant.

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

Men can't make the bond with men or women with women. We're not made for that.

Then it is a fleshly bond. You can't have it both ways.

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

You are assuming rather much

[–]Vulptex[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

You literally said it's a spiritual bond, then based your argument on fleshly distinctions.

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

You're assuming man and woman is only flesh deep

Do not seek to be justified in the flesh. Marriage is less than ideal, but not horrible. There's no prohibition on gays. It doesn't list them specifically either, but it's not like our unsensibly rigid laws and rules full of technicalities, though Pharisees may treat them as such. It doesn't have to list every single possible exception. Do not accept something as dogma simply because others say so.

You typed out a lot of words there but the sequence didn't actually convey any meaning

[–]Vulptex[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

You probably didn't even consider them.

[–]iamonlyoneman 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

I tried but not very hard

Jesus always talked about having eyes to see and ears to hear.

I saw with my eyes that I was poking at a fool and decided to not put much effort into it

I was once in ignorance myself. I always had a holy conviction that something was not quite right. But I suppressed it out of fear of criticism from my human peers, and out of the fears of a sadistic god they drilled into me. And I was advancing in religion beyond my peers, being extremely zealous for the traditions. I was prideful and arrogant, thought I was better than everyone else, and did nothing but condemn and judge to elevate myself. But when it become clear that such a shaky foundation could hold up no longer, knowing the gospel is undoubtedly the truth I had to go down the rabbit hole. Abandoning all my prior assumptions and traditions of men, I uncovered many truths concealed in the current day. And I thank God it happened when it did, because around the time of my awakening was when Christianity apostasized into almost nothing but identity politics and culture war battles. As soon as we were about to go over the cliff, I was pulled back. And now I must offer to lead the lost back up to the true path of life.

if you just tell people you're neurodivergent up front we can all save a lot of typing.
