In light of the total absence of evidence for the input from the mythological Jehovah (or any other of the myriad versions of "God") in these very human writings …Why didn't the mythological Middle East male god Jehovah inspire the male authors of the biblical writings to address female homosexuality specifically …?
That seems to be a stretch for everyone on the planet. I didn't see anyone say we CAN'T control, just that we don't always have control (maybe I missed someone saying that though).Claiming that we can’t control who we fall in love with is categorically false for everyone on the planet.
Again, that's a statement that seems to encompass all living people on the planet. Do you have support for basically, calling these people liars?The often repeated line from romantic comedies that “We didn’t intend for this to happen,� is a bald-face lie.
For sure choice is involved. But there's also, in some cases, an underlying 'thing' that happens between some people that happens prior to choosing.We all chose the relationships we nurture and we all chose the relationships we avoid.
As a Christian, I don’t believe in any mythological, Middle Eastern, or male gods. I’m not sure why you would give this god a name often associated with the Christian God. Your clarification reveals that there is nothing for me, as a Christian, to say on the topic. Go well!SallyF wrote: The OP is …

What's worse, IMO, is that today, in the light of all we know and accept, people still adhere to these (and other) idea from people who thought the earth was flat, had no idea of the potential of life outside their geographic sphere (and likely wouldn't have cared anyway), etc we still have people who not only follow these traits but like them.SallyF wrote:Which is why, I suggest …Menotu wrote: [Replying to post 21 by SallyF]

Given the complete, total and utter absence of evidence of input from Jehovah, or Jesus or the Holy Ghost in these "scriptures" …
That the harem-keeping Middle East men who made this stuff up were okay with lesbian acts …
Just like straight men still are today.
And - like straight men in strip joints today - they likely hated fags.
Aren't the biblical writings a great place to pick and choose one's morals …?
Sometimes "God" says JUST what one WANT'S "God" to say …!
I've gone through the thread and I'm surprised no one brought up Romans 1:26-27 unless I missed it.SallyF wrote: Why didn't the mythological Middle East male god Jehovah inspire the male authors of the biblical writings to address female homosexuality specifically …?
