Christian Arsonist Destroys Gay Couples Home In North Carolina

[GiacomoPisani]

it is impossible that attraction to someone who has the same trait as oneself be a sin.if there is a cosmic and astral sin that is heterosexuality,in fact it can't be scaled up,and have to be on hold,otherwise they would turn into a monstrosity.if gays were to be punished then all monoecious celestial beings would have to be punished as well.All beings who do not accept sexual arousal with body parts that they were not born with would be considered evil.Couples would not be real couples since they don't have the same parts.Moreso they would have to accept that attraction to sexually dimorphic bodies is mentally healthy,which is not,specially when it comes to enjoy traits that the other group do not find pleasurable in themselves.Not to say that celestial beings can change shape,as they please.
So the only mind that is able to purify is that of the homosexuals.
i also can't accept Christianity,i do not believe that the body is a temple of the spirit,nor i believe that there will be a second earth to entrap beings in the material world for an eternity,so i find the idea of the resurrection of the flesh to be horrifying and an offense.The bible is simply a demonic evil book.

No, it isn't. The strongest thing Jesus approved of was self-defense.

Except that you view the "God" of the old testament as equally divine as Jesus (if you don't then Jesus' teachings become false since he claimed this figure as his divine father). And that God ordered the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

Before I point you to a little different route, let me tell you that I am no longer a Christian.

The Bible wasn't written all at once, and we can see strata in it as the theology of the writers shifted. We can also see flat out contradictions at those historical points when the shifts were taking place.

In the earliest strata, evil was not personified, and it wasn't really separate from God. God sent the flood that killed all the little children in the world. God inspired David to take a census then punished all of Israel for his doing it. God sent two she-bears out of the woods to slay forty-two boys who were taunting one of the prophets.

Later evil came to have a more and more separate existence. There was a destroying angel God sent to kill the firstborn of every household in Egypt. Then there was an accuser who could coax God to try Job by doing all sorts of dreadful things to him and his family.

Finally there is a distinctly separate personality--Satan--with his very own name who was an enemy of God.

Later, after the Bible, Christians became considerably exercised over this problem. Some came to assert that evil is merely the absence of good without a separate existence at all. It is merely absolute negation.

Take your pick. All these views find support in the Bible. No one can believe all of them. Every Christian has to choose one or another of them in any given situation, and he is not always consistent in his own mind or expression.

So of course, God hates sin. He even hates sinners. To say that he separates the sin from the sinner, hating the one and loving the other, really is to make an arbitrary choice. So in a sense, Fred Phelps is right.

While I agree with you that those multiple interpretations exist in the Bible and there are contradictions, I think your chronology is a bit off. Like you use the angel killing the firstborn and the torture of Job as examples of the "later" personification of evil, but Exodus and Job were actually two of the first books written.
