Actually, that is yet another misconception. The "7 deadly sins" are NEVER mentioned in the Bible. They are man-made as decreed by the Catholic church, NOT God.
There are 7 things God hates. It's very clear in every Christians bible to read, yet 99.999999999% of them have no clue what they are (while claiming to be good Christians).
(4) Arrogant Eyes (5) A Lying Tongue (6) Hands That Shed Innocent Blood (7) A Heart That Plots Wicked Schemes (1) Feet Eager to Run to Evil (2) A Lying Witness Who Gives False Testimony (3) One Who Stirs Up Trouble Among Brothers

Busy watching a lengthy Rood clip, where "cult leaders" (according to Rood's title), or rather preachers from regular Christian churches give their supposed confessions.
Within the first few minutes the clip manages to insult the Catholics (with a pope impersonation), the Seventh Day Adventists, the Methodists and the Baptists.
They all had a "Rood Awakening" when they realized how wrong their "Sun-god-day" worship was, and came to know the true Messiah (with the fashionable Hebrew name) and the Torah.
This thread is actually hilarious.
Rood totally rubbishes Christianity, but yet the homophobes pull out just the anti-gay bits from his vast repertoire.
But to paraphrase Bob Marley, while you point your finger, someone else is judging you.
Well according to the Bible Jesus will tell many Christians to get lost on Judgement Day (nice).
So all these groups are in a system of figuring out who the "true" believers are compared to the 30 000 other versions.
That allows people like Rood to get their share of the market.

as lame as it sounds, I saw it on a show on Discovery or NatGeo (I'm addicted to those channels). They went in-depth and talked about the 3rd secret, how the pope at the time forced the girls to a "vow of silence" (how convenient) and lots of other great things about it. They didn't want it known that a Pope would be killed by others in the Vatican and that it was all based around the Bishop in charge of banking and the deal he made about buying a bank and the politics of Pope John Paul 1 and the disagreement of those around him. I'm sorry I can't remember what show it was specifically but it was very eye opening.

If you believe the bible, you will see that Sodom and Gomorrah along with two other cities were destroyed by God's wrath. It says because their cry is great, "and because their sin is very grievous." Gen 18:20 It does not say God killed them for being gay. Wouldn't God have sent a pillar of fire upon ancient Greece or Rome if this were the case. This is a new Christian idea. The rabbonic texts suggest that these cities were destroyed for thier cruelty and selfishness. Plus the citizens of Sodom wanted to gang rape the three messangers (angels) that accompanied Abram to Lot's house. If you want to know Jesus' perspective on the subject, open the new testament. In the Gospel of Matthew when Jesus warns of a worse judgment for some cities than Sodom, inhospitality is perceived by some as the sin, while others see it fundamentally being impenitence:
If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. --Matthew 10:14-15

"God" created them but them obviously chose to be homosexual. I know that I have had absolute say in exactly what I find attractive. I once thought I found black hair attractive but then I was like NO, black is the color of death and I refuse to be attracted to black hair. So I forced myself to be attracted to brunettes.

Perhaps with all the bible quotes that goes on in threads like these. Perhaps people should ponder Mark 4 Verse 11 and 12
11 He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables 12 so that, “‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’
Take time to actually read and understand the bible and stop using god's word to condemn others to damnation. That is not your job.

There.. thank you so much for helping me make them known to the readers of the thread. I'm sure you will find them enlightening, since you seem to care so much for what God hates.. and wish to inform His followers of them..
Thank you for helping us point them out so clearly.. it must have been wanted and needed by God to do so in the thread.
I will bookmark the page..so I can read them again...and share them again.

You don't choose to be gay. You are born that way.
I was attracted to other boys from a very young age. Around the age of 6 or 7. My grandma knew there was something different about me from when I was a toddler that she could never quite put her finger on.
How does a 6 or 7 year old boy "choose to be gay"? He doesn't! He was born gay

you're welcome! it is just as important for Christians to be educated on what God hates as much as what He loves. It's horrible for people to call themselves a Christian and they don't even know what's in their bible that they swear by. I'm a Christian and it really annoys me how people don't take the time to read for themselves or know what the bible really says because they don't study it in it's original text. It's like people thinking that the Christ's name is Jesus. C'mon...really? The letter "J" is only 600 years old, so how could that be the name of the Savior who died 2,000 years ago? I guess common sense isn't so common though. i didn't really find anything enlightening since i've studied them for years but i'm glad that you learned something and am happy to help = )

oh.. Pardon me for being paranoid.. I'll work on that..
Well..I'm glad we got a very detailed list of what He hates and detests.. That is always helpful.

I find this attitude sort of arrogant and demeaning to other Christians.. Do you think Our Lord would approve?
I realize I am guilty of not always being a good christian... but if we are going to start quibbling over the J letter.. I think satan is definitely winning again in stirring up trouble within the brethren.
The Lord hates proud eyes..and the Lord hates those who stir up trouble amongst their brothers...and you think its Ok to come and haughtily pronounce how you know Him so much better than all the "other" Christians.. who are so stupid as to call Him Jesus?
*sighs and shakes head* wow...
