You bet!
yoel-siting verses about homosexuality:
Leviticus 18:22 (NASB)-
"You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female. It is an
abomination."
Leviticus 20:13 (NIV)
"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both have doine what is
detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own
heads."
Leviticus 20:13 (my direct translation)
"And a man who lay a male female-laying, they have both done an
abomination. They will surely die, their blood is on them.
"Therefore God gave them over to the sinful desire of their hearts to
sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another...
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women
exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way men also
abandonned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one
another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in
themselves the due penalty for their perversion." Romans 1:24-27
abortion,
SARAH
Okay, is there anything I can use when my co-worker condemns homosexuals?
yoel-on abortion is the bible:
Nothing that I know of.
SARAH
Exactly!!! When my co-worker condemns abortion, I can truely say that the
Bible says nothing about abortion being bad!
yoel-telling what the good book says about marriage:
Oh, well. So much. OT: Men can screw as many unmarried women as they wish.
They can have as many wives as they wish.
Women can only screw their husbands. Any child born to a woman from a man
other than her husband is not part of the greater Jewish communtiy and
cannot intermarry with the rest of the community.
New Testament:
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the
head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
-I Corinthians 11:3
For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
-I Corinthians 11:8-9
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto
them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith
the law.
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home:
for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
-I Corinthians 14:34-35
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of
the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to
their own husbands in everything. -Ephesians 5:22-24
Let the women learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man,
but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the
transgression.
-I Timothy 2:11-14
SARAH
Excellent!!! My co-worker is a woman and seems to run the household. Now I
can quote scriptures that tell her she is not doing God's will by working
outside the home. How can women be Sunday School teachers if they are not to
teach? My co-worker is a Sunday School teacher.
yoel-telling about sex in the bible:
Song of Songs is all about sex. Stuff like "The perfume of thy luscious
valley maketh my tower grow. Great are thy mounds!" (or something like
that. I made that one up.)
Paul says something like "it's better to get married than to burn". Jesus
said that angels do not have sex.
SARAH
Yes, the Song of Songs is very graphic about sex, but is there anything about
not using birth control because sex is only for procreation?
Thanks Yoel!
