Matthew 15
1Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Wow, so a pastor from Tempe Arizona is actually advocating for the execution of homosexuals.
The other day there was a thread on ATS about some horrific acts perpetrated by Iraqis against homosexuals. I posted saying "Christians... take heed, this is what your hate speech leads to" And everyone thought I was being extreme.
Well here ya go...

The person who mentioned does the preacher man keep his menstruating women in the barn has it right. Jesus makes this same point to the pharisees in regards to them not killing disobedient children as the OT says too. And Jesus wasn't saying to go kill the children either.

Know what I love about the bible? All the ridiculous, incessant contradictions that make me think the thing was written by jekyll and hyde.

hate the bible? evolutionists? devolutionists? do not accept the slightest possibilty of a supreme creator God. that he is a he. not a he she? well? what is news about this really? same ol same ol. another long drawn out
thread of useless arguement.
the most that gets accomplished imo is a lot of hurt feelings. especially from the arrogant hollier than thou attitudes of people who\'s only lesson
thier God asked them to teach was love.\" that ye love one another as i have loved you\". never, anywhere, anytime, anyplace, did he ask his followers, children, sheeple , people, what have you? to ever judge, prosecute, or convict,punish, kill anybody for anything concerning thier lifestyle. in fact the strongest words to be found in the bible, of these matters are totaly against any such actions, even attitudes.
\"let he who has not sinned cast the first stone\"
well that leaves no one! so how many should we have throwing stones.
i bet there isn't a fat enough zero to mark it with. if you associate ZERO
with anything from now on, let it be that. and then there's.
"judge not lest ye be judged"
these are two examples of the traps believers can fall into.
statements of conviction. conviction avoided by what? what? what?
by doing what he asked. he asked us to love one another. simple.
so don't buy in to this crap. GOD HAS MADE NO SUCH COMMAND.why
would he? when there is no one, to carry out such a demand.
