So how about addressing my post, instead of being a patronizing jerk.

BTW, I know conclusively that I am not one of the Elect™. God told me to tell you to give up all hope on me.

Shaddap, you, I'm busy smacking Deco around.

Of course, if you're a Calvinist, then get in line, and I'll get to you.

A victory for justice and morality over prejudice and bigotry - it'll be interesting to see whether this one stands.
The Lord = justice
The Lord = righteousness


Psalm 89:14
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
Mercy and truth go before Your face.

Psalm 37:28
For the LORD loves justice,
And does not forsake His saints;
They are preserved forever,
But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off


Unrighteousness = abomination

Deuteronomy 25:16
For all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.


Homosexuality = abomination

Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

Leviticus 18:22
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.


The wicked = perversion of justice

Habakkuk 1:4
Therefore the law is powerless,
And justice never goes forth.
For the wicked surround the righteous;
Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.



The wicked = perversion justice = unrighteousness = abomination = homosexuality

The Lord loves justice. The Lord hates the wicked. The wicked pervert justice. Homosexuality is wicked, unrighteous, and an abomination. Therefore the Lord hates homosexuality and sees it as a wicked, unrighteous, abomination and a perversion of justice.

Psalm 11:5
The LORD tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.

1 Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

Romans 1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

Romans 1:26-27
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.




A word of advice, Mr. Jack:
Exodus 23:2
You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice



Justice and morality = acceptance of homosexual marriage/lifestyle? In your dreams, Mr. Jack!

That's what the custom ceramic/polycarbon helmet is for!

The whole suit seals against nuclear, chemical and biological warfare agents, can withstand hard vacuum, and carries life support for up to two weeks.

The Y-rack and smartshells cost extra, though...

I enjoy being mocked it builds character and lets you know how effective you are in your argument.

Gerald, If God wants you, you can't escape. He will melt your heart of stone and give you a new heart of flesh. I'm prepared to wait until hell freezes over.

Sibbie,

I've read the bible; I know what your favoured translation says about this. But, strangely, I really care little what some bloke wrote about his prejudices two thousand years ago and still less what a bunch of bronze age herders thought constituted morality and justice.





If you're really a Goth, where were you when we sacked Rome?
