“For there is no partiality with God. For as many as have sinned without aw will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law. (For not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, there, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, Who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them).”
Roman 2:11-15

I do not think you, as a Doctor, could’ve overlooked those messeges in the bible. or are you just as selective as we Christians as you claimed?

What makes you think I have overlooked them. The point is why should anyone believe what some anonymous writer has asserted 2000 years ago even if they can understand it? This author tells us that people will be judged by a Jewish law that they can know nothing about, and sin is not obeying the law, so how can people sin when they do not know what sin is? Moreover, this writer is the Christian who abrogated the law for the gentiles, so that they could become Jews without having to try too hard. They are supposed instead to have the law in their hearts—a law that has been declared null and void. It is all incoherent. Only Christians can accept that the Jewish law is abrogated but still insist that some parts of it—the parts they choose—have not been abrogated. Christians are Pharisees, my friend—hypocrites! You should read the words of your own God more carefully instead of the words of a man who never knew the Christian God.

“And he answered and said to them, Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made the male and female, And said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?”
Matthew 19:4-5

I have questions, are you gay? can’t you tell right from wrong? in any sense, does homosexuality necessary? biologically, is it natural to have homosexual relationship? what’s the benefits of it? scientific proven that homosexually active individuals are more likely to have AIDS, doesn’t that mean something to you? will you allow your sons/daughters to engage a homosexual relationship? God gave us free will, therefore i choose not to have a homosexual relationship. biologically i can perform it, but i choose not to. isn’t it free will? as usual i find your answer selective and obviously you do not fully understand the word of God. maybe you should go to a church before you write any more articles.

PS. priests and fathers are for Catholics. we Christian have pastor.

The point of this little parable is that God is betrothed to Israel, personified in the bible as a faithless woman. She has shown her faithlessness by submitting to Rome and not God. It was up to Jews to change this unfaithful state of affairs. I know this is too hard for Christians to understand, but the fact that they cannot understand something does not mean it is wrong. It is the Christians who are wrong, and wrong again, over and over.

As for homosexuality, Morton Smith found in a famous monastery in Sinai a fragment of a gospel that suggested that Jesus was himself homosexual. No Christian will believe it, though there is no reason why it should not be true. Jesus lived among men. He never married. The women of the gospel are all ciphers, written in because most of the early gentile Christians were women. The prohibitions against homosexuality in the bible go back to the Jewish scriptures, illogically incorporated into the Christian bible as the Old Testament, even though the Jewish law of Moses had been abrogated. Christians did not have to be circumcised, as the law specifies in no uncertain terms because anyone not circumcised cannot be saved, but Christians tell us it is a mortal sin to be a homosexual.

You ask if it natural to have homosexual relationships, expecting no doubt that it must be a purely human choice contrary to the abrogated law and therefore a sin, but it is indeed natural. If it is not then why do dogs act homosexually quite often when they gather in packs? Why do apes like bonobos do the same, and evidently as a form of mutual comfort. You are free to choose not to do it, just as you are free not to kill people, but the Christian leader of the western world, an heterosecxual family man has ordered the killing of over a myriad Arabs in Iraq, and continues to do it. “Thou shalt not kill”, directly commanded by God though supposedly abrogated is still a commandment for Christians, but Christians will kill or at least harass and oppress to stop consenting adults doing what they choose in private. You are still a hypocrite and a pharisee if you accept this absurdity, but then Christians are not noted for the sharpness of their wits. They are simply bigots.

Finally you can call the crooks and moneygrubbers that tell you all these lies whatever you choose to do, but they all smell just as bad whatever name they have.

Before you go, think about this…

Dr G J Jordan observes that “religion is known by its fruits not its roots”. Yet Christians hardly ever honestly examine the fruits of their religions. They spend their time drooling over the stories at its roots. The murder and torture in the name of Christianity condemns it as a rotten tree, according to their own incarnated God, fit only for the axe.
