Now you are saying the JW bible is incorrect without reading it. You are being hypocritical. If you go on like this, there is no hope for you. Yeah, cooking. They can eat it now. What's the problem there? There was no food. God would just let you starve. He could have cleansed the animals too. Nothing is indefinite. Rules can change. You are acting ridiculous.
I DIDN'T DISAGREE WITH THE COOKING THING. How many times will I have to say that before you'll read it?
Secondly, I haven't read the entire JW Bible, no. However, I have read numerous key verses, as well as the Watchtower Magazine. I've read enough to find that I disagree with the translations given, especially with John 1:1.
I attacked nothing but your Bible. You initiated an attack on your first post. If you've forgotten, I could always requote you. I have not been misguided. To be misguided would require a guide, of which I have only had the Bible. If you are claiming that the Bible is wrong, this isn't the thread for you.
Good day.

I have noticed that most super-evangelical Christians seem to use "You have been misguided" a lot, seemingly as an out. "You've been misguided because what I say is objectively true even though I cannot prove it."

Loki, allow me to provide some insight as to the nature of why Christians do not follow Levitican Law, yet should pay attention to its claims about homosexuality.
Yes, in Acts Peter was allowed to eat unclean animals, and praise God for that it offers much insight to what salvation really means. Freedom from sin is the most important thing any person could ever accept from God. It is the first step to spritutal maturity.
That said, let's take another step towards knowing God.
You referenced 1 Cor 6:12. "All things are lawful unto me..." Paul's statement serves to tell us that even if we sin, we'll still be saved (1 Cor 3:10) But sinning, or not sinning is not what is important here. It is our relationship with God. If we consider every action in relation to God's will we can either sin, or surrender to God's will. Nowhere in the Bible is homosexuality condoned, yet in a few places it is discouraged strongly. You have attempted to refute this but you ignored a few facts which you may find interesting.
Levitus 18:22(KJV) says "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination"
Now Moses makes makes other mentions of things which translate into english as abominations. However, this is a different kind of abomination. "Tô‛êbah" is the word used in Lev 18:22. This word does not appear in Leviticus until the 18th Chapter. It most commonly refers to idolatry. This is different than the other word in Leviticus used for abomination, "sheqets" (Lev 11:10).
So you can see here that this particular Levitican observation is different than most others.
Romans 1:24-27 is also quite explicit about the unnatural act of homosexual lust/sex, contradictory to your perception of it. Let the reader reexamine the text:
Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
As far as 1 Corinthians 13 is concerned it does not reference romance. It is talking about love as a virtue, and not as a verb.
You cited 1 John 4:7-12 for the same reason you cited 1 Corinthians 13. You say "These verses, properly interpreted and read, not misquote or drug out of context, show that God is behind all forms of love, and that lust and prostitutional fornication are the sexual sins mentioned."
It is not an attempt to use a straw man because I would think you know better, but these verses do not refer to sexual immorality at all. The context of this verse is to show us that only love can come from God. It does not say that all forms of love come from God. 1 Timothy 6:10 says that the love of money is the root of all evil. It is a different word from the one used in both 1 Cor 13, and 1 John 4, agape. "Philarguria" is the word in 1 Tim.
Scripturally, Homosexuality is still a sin. There is no Biblical evidence to support a homosexual marriage, or relationship, yet there is plenty against it.
As for your post on the other common misconceptions about the Bible, bravo. Especially the bit about the magi arriving while Jesus was older.

Which is why a**l sex is okay. Men don't have v****a's after all. Closest thing this comes to is frot, which isn't as common as a**l sex, mutual masturbation, and many other fun activities between two men. Of course, this doesn't even say a thing about two women, so lesbians are a-okay according to the bible too. wink

Greed isn't love though, so I don't see your point. Plus, it's quite arrogant to say that you know what forms of love God does and doesn't approve of when it's not scriptually backed.

Loki, allow me to provide some insight as to the nature of why Christians do not follow Levitican Law, yet should pay attention to its claims about homosexuality.
Oh boy I don't see how, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Let's take a look at this.
Quote:

If we consider every action in relation to God's will we can either sin, or surrender to God's will. Nowhere in the Bible is homosexuality condoned, yet in a few places it is discouraged strongly.
Nowhere in the Bible is wearing red shoes condoned. Remember something doesn't need to be condoned in the Bible (especially the NT, but even the OT) for it to be okay.
In the Old Testament, YHWH was very much a "no" God. "No" this and "No" that. He didn't condone things. He forbid what was currently forbidden and/or dangerous and left the rest up to you. Only the wicked important "Yes" things were handled, like praising Him and all.
And the one place it is discouraged is Leviticus (and that is strongly debatable, but not by me as I'm not well versed in Hebrew). Since Leviticus was negated and replaced (i.e. Fulfillment in accordance to the prophecies by the Messiah) its possible condemnation of homosexuality is completely and utterly inconsequential and irrelevant.
Quote:

I might find them interesting, but it remains to be seen if any of them backs your assertions.
Quote:

This word does not appear in Leviticus until the 18th Chapter. It most commonly refers to idolatry. This is different than the other word in Leviticus used for abomination, "sheqets" (Lev 11:10).
So? Unless you actually know what the difference in word means you've made absolutely no leeway here.
Especially since Leviticus was entirely washed away. Idolatry was established as bad in the NT, so the comparison between homosexuality and idolatry does not hold in the NT.
Quote:

Doesn't matter. All Mosaic Law was fulfilled. Not some that was described by certain key words. All.
Quote:

Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
I'm still seeing homosexuality as a backdrop. Never once does it say that men having sex with men itself is unseemly or unnatural. And the women did unnatural things, but nothing in there gives the idea that they even had sex with one another at all.
The likewise easily designates that the men did unnatural things too, but note the comma and semi colon.
burning with lust towards one another is a side thought, an extra tidbit of information seperate from the unnatural acts. Much the same with burning in their lust for one tward another (keep in mind that lust also is a bad thing, and so he was mentioning that these particular homosexual relationships contained no love due to the lust factor)
Also, the fact that it mentions men with men as a side thought and also mentioned that those men were working things unseemly as the focus shows that men being with men is the backdrop of the situation.
A presence of trees on a murder scene to give you a parallel.
If one said this instead:
Poe's wonderful fake bible verse simulator
Rom adjusted:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom adjusted:27 And likewise also the men, knocking over their candles, burning the floor of their houses; men near candles working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Would having candles, knocking them over, and leaving burn marks on the floor be horrific sins now?
It seems so silly when its candles, but its in the same place, being mentioned in the exact same way.
You're allowing your assumptions about homosexuality (due to Leviticus and your own upbringing) to cloud your judgement.
Quote:
As far as 1 Corinthians 13 is concerned it does not reference romance. It is talking about love as a virtue, and not as a verb.
Do you not equate romantic love and virtuous love? Is not romantic love also a virtuous kind?
But really, this is irrelevant to my justifications and does not support your point at all.
Quote:

It is a different word from the one used in both 1 Cor 13, and 1 John 4, agape. "Philarguria" is the word in 1 Tim.
This is not important to my justifications, so I won't bother. It also does not support your point.
Quote:

False. Since it was not designated as a sin in the NT, it is not a sin. You failed to establish any such designation exists, therefore your argument collapses and your assertion fails.
Quote:
There is no Biblical evidence to support a homosexual marriage, or relationship, yet there is plenty against it.
True on the former and false on the latter.
In response to there being no Biblical support for homosexual marriage and relationships, there doesn't need to be. A lack of condonment does not mean something is forbidden. It must actually be shown as forbidden. Red shoes are not condoned by the Bible, are red shoes evil and against God?
As for the latter, the only part of the Bible that actually could condemn homosexual sex is made irrelevant by the coming of Christ. All those things that are sins were established as such by Jesus' teachings and were made more clear to others by his apostles. (some would say that the writings of his closest compatriots and by people like Paul are not God's Word, but that is a debate for another time.)
If you are Jewish, by all means consider Leviticus valid and oppose male on male homosexual sex only (as that is all it appears to condemn). But if you are Christian, you are blaspheming pretty badly to condemn it due to the Bible.

Ok, so, according to you the word used in Leviticus is commonly used with Idolatry. Now, if you'll pay attention to Romans 1, what were they talking about right before the verses you posted? Idolatry. So, what have you proven? That homosexual intercourse is bad? Not really, because having heterosexual intercourse while worshiping idols would also be bad now wouldn't it? So all you've managed to do is prove that worshiping idols is bad. Congrats.

What's the problem there? There was no food. God would just let you starve. He could have cleansed the animals too. Nothing is indefinite. Rules can change. You are acting ridiculous.
I DIDN'T DISAGREE WITH THE COOKING THING. How many times will I have to say that before you'll read it?
Secondly, I haven't read the entire JW Bible, no. However, I have read numerous key verses, as well as the Watchtower Magazine. I've read enough to find that I disagree with the translations given, especially with John 1:1.
I attacked nothing but your Bible. You initiated an attack on your first post. If you've forgotten, I could always requote you. I have not been misguided. To be misguided would require a guide, of which I have only had the Bible. If you are claiming that the Bible is wrong, this isn't the thread for you.
Good day.

Kaskade Khaos. You have made the following claims.
1. I look for mistakes in the Bible.
2. The Catholic Bible is fallacious and sent by demon spirits to trick.
3. Through insinuation, the Jehovah's Witness Bible is the correct translation and interpretation of the original Biblical texts.
4. I have changed the Words of the Bible.
5. That prior to this post, you mentioned animals during our discussion.
6. That you provided a link to the Watchtower website.
7. That I have changed my own words.
8. That I have not read the Jehovah's Witness Bible.
9. That I am a hypocrite.
10. That I am misguided, when all I have been guided by is the Bible.
11. That I have not read a word of your arguments.
12. That you initiated no attack.
13. That I did not quote your previous posts.
14. Again, that I have been misguided.
15. That I don't know what I'm saying.
16. That I shall regret this interaction.
Now. Prove every last point, or concede to each one you cannot. If you fail to do so, if you attempt to use wit, sarcasm, or ad hominem attacks, or if you attempt to brush this off, you will be banned from this thread.
1. I look for mistakes in the Bible.

All I said was God allowed them to eat animals as they learned to cook and kill the diseases inside the animals.
6. That you provided a link to the Watchtower website.
