Hello @fivecornerroom, Welcome to tumblr, also lovingly called the hellsite. You must be new, because I'm sure you ment to reblog this, as these are comments I'm sure you meant with your entire chest, because why else would you say them. If you think it's so important to correct me, shouldn't that be public. My post is.
So I fixed it for you. Going forward the sign that looks like the recycling sign is the reblog.
Also here is your basket you put it on top of my light. I'm not sure why, because certainly you weren't trying to cover it. Right?
Anyway now that I have fixed that for you, we can have the conversation you seem so eager to have.
Firstly @roundearthsociety is correct. As they already told you, I said nothing about them being lovers. Tiny linguistics lesson, Gay-especially on tumblr- is used as an umbrella term for every sexuality that is not straight. All I said is that they were not behaving in a straight manner.
Secondly it is generally advised that you site your sources when making such statements. You seemed to have forgotten so I'll help you out, again. I believe you are referring to Leviticus 20:13.
As to the subject matter of Leviticus 20:13, it is an interesting verse to build your views on. Firstly there are some translation questions with regard to it. Both linguisticly and culturally. Secondly, how much of the Levitical code do you follow? Most Christians I know do not follow much, or any of it as we believe Jesus is the fulfillment of the law (Matthew 5:17).
Also, let's say you are right, for a minute. Let's say nothing's been lost in translation. Let's say that I was saying David and Jonathan were lovers. David wasn't exactly great at keeping the levitical code. In fact we're told pretty dang clearly in 2 Samuel 11 about him commiting adultery. We all know that's a big no no. Any one who knows the 10 commandments knows that. It's also covered in Leviticus 20, the chapter you're referencing. Jesus himself covers it (Matthew 5: 27-28).However he is still called a man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22). Please reread my original post, I wasn't justifying squat. I was making a statement on how things read.
But whether you are right or wrong, there's not much love or compassion in what you said. And we both know you could have said it better. Please think before you post.
I am trying to show love on this page. Whether you are part of the "God is love" crew or the "love is love" crew, you are welcome here. Bigotry is not. My user name is Wardrobe Warrior. I will fight for my siblings.
If you want to continue this conversation, please feel free to do so, but do it in a respectful manner.
( And yes, I put the screenshots in exactly as they were with all my tabs and such that were open, so you can see that I did not alter them)
As Paul said, "Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:2)
