Murder is OK: My Bible Tells Me So. : )

[AlphaCrab]

What is it about beauty contestants all now being anti-gay? Don't they know who is doing their hair and accessorizing them? Miss Beverly Hills, Lauren Ashley, now says the Bible is "black and white" about killing all gays and lesbians.

I think to many people believe a bit too much of what is in the good book. The Bible is like the Constitution, needs to be more flexible and open to some changes I think. No?


Lauren Ashley, Miss Beverly Hills 2010: Bible Is 'Black And White' About Killing Homosexuals

to answer your question

NO

Alpha Crab, please don't concern yourself with her. It's just not worth it. Surround yourself with people who genuinely love humans and living beings because they are life! This is something from the Bible you can definitely argue and win. I support gays in their lifestyle, but when anger infiltrates, it's just not worth broaching.

"The Bible says that marriage is between a man and a woman. In Leviticus it says, 'If man lies with mankind as he would lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death and their blood shall be upon them.' The Bible is pretty black and white..."

"I feel like God himself created mankind and he loves everyone, and he has the best for everyone. If he says that having sex with someone of your same gender is going to bring death upon you, that's a pretty stern warning, and he knows more than we do about life."

wtf? She quoted the bible. I saw no reference to her saying that it's okay to murder gays and lesbians. I think you're safe . :roll:

Sorry...but I call total BS on her answer and any other queen's answer that is similar. You don't get to their level of beauty contestant without working directly with and spending lots of time with the gay community.

They are giving the PC answer plain and simple.

Admittedly, her's seems to be extreme, but I think she's full of BS...

Yes, the Bible does say that in Leviticus. It also says literally hundreds of other things that IMO do not apply.

I am not putting gays to death, I am also not killing people for eating shellfish, for wearing clothes made of a fiber blend, and am not planning to sell off my daughter's virginity. :roll:

Far too often people do not actually read and interpret the Bible for themselves, they just take passages out of context or repeat what others say.

It's been said that the best way to create a non-believer is to have him read the bible.

I totally disagree with that. You just have to read it/study it in the appropriate context and realize that it has been heavily edited, revised, and translated/tweaked by many, many people.

As soon as I read about the Nephilem being a product of god?s angels and swooping down to have sex with human women, that's the end of the line for me.

That's only one of 4 possible theories though - and the translation/interpretation issues I mentioned are one reason why it is unclear.
